A lovely restaurant with a great ambience. Perfect for bringing out of town guests, celebrations and date nights. A great variety of entrees and the salads were delicious. It was pretty busy for a Monday night in the summer so be sure to use their convenient reservation system, it’s very easy to navigate. We were seated promptly at our reservation time. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to go back. Enjoy!

About the restaurant

At Culinary Dropout, raise your glass to friends coming together. A place where food and music are life. Join us at happy hour for ice cold beer and our famous soft pretzels with provolone fondue. At dinner, a signature cocktail and slow braised 36-hour pork ribs are a perfect pair. While you and your crew enjoy damn good food and drinks, a local band plays live for great vibes. Come hang out and stay a while.

We believe in people. We believe in nourishment. We believe in family. We believe in love.

We believe that people are more than their job titles or their everyday struggles. We believe that everyone deserves a break from everyday stress. We believe you are worthy to be celebrated.

Since the beginning of time, from peasants to royalty, people required fine food & drinks to complete their festivities. We believe in celebrating you, celebrating life & slowing down to enjoy the finer things.

Our Chef-crafted menu offers unique dishes that bring Italian, Spanish and asian flavors to contemporary American staples. Award-winning mixologists offer an array of options including: an 80 bottle wine list, craft canned beer options, over 40 historically-driven classic cocktails & custom cocktails on draft.

About the restaurant

Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

Eating at Cooper's Hawk is always enjoyable. It's a bit quieter at lunch, so it was a great place for a Birthday celebration. The service was attentive and the food was delicious. We'll be back!

We were dining before a play and the server was great about expediting our order. Food was really good and a surprising value for a hotel restaurant. Will be back!
