Me and my wife love Cooper’s Hawk. We first went to the Jacksonville FL location and loved it. The closest one to us is 2.5 hours away in Indianapolis. We love their lobster bisque but their entire menu is excellent.

Went for our anniversary to this restaurant for the first time. Fabulous decor and when booking thru Open Table, I always get the best seat. Saw some table set ups that seemed too close to each other. Food and Steaks were exactly what I would expect of a great steakhouse. Watch out for water choices though. The waitress asked if we wanted complimentary water, still or sparkling. I misunderstood and thought the water was complimentary, but they were 3 distinct choices! So we had a charge of $9 for a bottle of still water.
