Best Casual Restaurants in Utica

It was our first time there after years of hearing about how great the food was. It did not disappoint. The staff was attentive and friendly. Romario was great! The food was simply put…PERFECTION. Definitely recommend and will return in the near future.

We had a reservation at 1pm and we're seated promptly. Our server came over right away with waters and took our drink orders. She came back a few times to see if we were ready to place our food order, but we were busy talking, she was very patient with us. We all ordered the Monte Crisco and it was FABULOUS!!! The candy bacon is a must and the side potatoes are so flavorful. It was a wonderful experience. Specialty drinks were top notch. I got the Bourbon Apple Cigar old fashion and the others got some Cranberry drink with a sugar rum -all delicious 🍹 I would recommend this place to anyone that has a special reason to gather together. It's a bit pricy, so not the place I could go to on a regular basis, but it is definately my special place to go when the occasion warrants it. Will definately be back 💖

We celebrated Thanksgiving at Coopers Hawk and was not disappointed. Our reservation was right on time and seated right away. Laurice was our server and did a fantastic job. She had multiple tables but did a great job handling all of us. Everyone we encountered were very friendly from the moment we walked in. We all got the turkey dinner which was delicious from soup to the dessert. The wine of course was good as always! (Wine club member) Thank you for an enjoyable and memorable dinner!

I had met up with one of my best friends I had grew up from elementary school here. It was her first time here. We had such a blast! 😁 Our waitress Phoenix went above and beyond. The food was delicious 😋 Thank u Phoenix and to all your staff for all your hard work! ❤️

Our waitress, Bruna was one of the best I have ever experienced, a truly beautiful person. Our food was fantastic, Oso Buco and a pasta dish were both awesome. The ambiance is usually awesome but on thin night they were set up for a special high attendance celebration, even though it is a beautiful room. We have a connection to the chef, so came out yo greet us too. It was a wonderful experience snd we will continue to visit!!
