Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant

The atmosphere here is modern. It's located in West Des Moines near hotels and commercial businesses. I walked in expecting that I would be able to be seated because it was an off time (not even yet 4:00 p.m.) but they were booked for the night. Reservations are definitely recommended and / or required unless you want to sit at the upscale bar to eat, which I did. There is an extensive wine list and a wine shop. The meals are a la carte ... so salads, appetizers, and drinks are all separately priced from the entree. Overall it was a very good meal and I met a nice mixed crowd at the bar including retirees, couples, and other professionals. I had the Trio of Medallions under Steak & Chops on the menu shown.

My son gifted my wife and I a wine tasting for my birthday. Our sommelière Cynthia was a pleasure and was very knowledgeable. We had a great experience.

5 stars isn't enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. We took a chance on a new place for our anniversary dinner and won the lottery. We joined the wine club, had an amazing server, (Jackson H.), amazing wine, amazing experience. After we left, our vehicle had a technical issue and wasn't safe to drive. We met with the GM (Justin Williams) and he was kind enough to let our vehicle stay there overnight till the dealership could come get it in the morning. The customer service of this establishment went above and beyond what was required. What was suppose to be a celebration... turned sour, but Cooper's Hawk eased my mind and I can't thank them enough for their wonderful customer service.

I love this place. I’ve been in bad moods the last few times I’ve eaten here and being there has put me into better moods. The food is tasty and the wine is delicious. Still love this place and the crew! They make CH rock!

The “Leonard Burger” is decadent and meaty with fixings that tantalizes the palate with happily melting cheese that christens a special sauce that is well balanced on a soft bun. Knowledgeable servers such as — Courteous Ashley — is full of brand information that piques your interest in their popular dishes as well as the history of this upscale restaurant, and their curated wine list and “sommelier.” In addition to my flavorful burger, I ordered Lobster Bisque which was buttery and creamy as well as Key Lime Pie served on a graham cracker crust with whipped cream, and a Cucumber Mock-tail. The entire presentation was aesthetically artful. The soft lighting with blue and grey decor tones were very relaxing denoting a top notch sophisticated restaurant that offers an exquisite dining experi
