Wait staff were nice. Food not good. Watery clam chowder, mushy lobster resorto. Tuff steak. Won't go back.

We were fans of this restaurant when it was in Lafayette. The food and service are still excellent and the ambiance is more beautiful than ever.

We were seated at a booth and before we sat down the floor was not cleaned, there was food chunks at the end of the table on the floor. I asked the hostess if this can be cleaned up and she said she would do it. Never did. I asked our waitress twice and her reply was I’ll try and get around to it when I’m free. It was never done. It was unpleasant to see leftover food still on the floor. It wasn’t a super busy evening either. It was very disappointing.

Our server was very nice and efficient. The food was very tasty. Two complaints. It took 15 minutes to get a glass of wine after we ordered. The waitress said the bar was backed up. How hard is it to pour a glass of wine? The other complaint is that the noise level was incredible. It was very difficult to converse. I think the restaurant needs to do some sound dampening in the space.

The Cooperage was very busy when we arrived with many waiting for tables. We were seated promptly for our reservation and the noise level was pretty high with the restaurant full and the pull-down doors closed due to weather. Service was friendly but there were gaps in attention at times. We were not in a hurry, but our entrée orders was not taken until after we had finished eating our appetizers and it took a long time for our entrees to arrive compared to tables around ours. I am sure the busy night with a full house was a factor. Food was great, appetizers tuna tartare and brussels sprouts, entrees steak frites, fried chicken, ahi sandwich, and short ribs. The group enjoyed craft cocktails, wine and draft beer. Look forward to our next visit.

We miss the Lafayette location and ambience. Restaurant is extremely noisy and crowded with tables jammed together. Food is fine but just not the same cozy dining experience it once was. Way too loud inside for my enjoyment.

The food was dry and the menu is all over the place. The best looking thing I saw was my nephew’s grilled cheese and tomato soup.

We had a great time celebrating my husband's birthday with our kids. Everything from the service to the cocktails to the cuisine was great. My 10 month old granddaughter also enjoyed the butter noodles.
