- MMattityahuChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoThe location isn't scenic but once inside it's a different world. Lots of room to wait, have a drink. etc. Spacious with tables spaced to allow for easy seating and reasonable privacy. The booths are simple yet comfortable affording more privacy and reduced ambient noise level. The food was utterly fantastic. The meats and veggies were totally delicious. I wanted to just eat all day. And the red sangria was rather nice -- smooth with a bit of effervescence. All of the wait staff were extremely respectful, attentive, and personable. An uplifting human touch that adds to the pleasure. Can't wait to have a return engagement.More infoCooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant - Merrillville, INPrice: Moderate• American• Merrillville, IN•4.6
