    Attended a Wine Wednesday at noon. The winery that was pouring was Justin from Paso Robles. Four generous pours, accompanied by small bites. It was fabulous! This was the first in a series and I'll be going back! So fun and didn't have to drive very far!

    Had brunch with my two gal pals here yesterday and we really enjoyed our time. Great service from Will. Beautiful setting on the patio under an umbrella. The smoked salmon frittata was a very large portion and absolutely scrumptious. We also shared and enjoyed the Brown Derby salad . The drinks were refreshing and delicious.

    Overall a good experience. Bar service was a bit slow even though they were not busy and had 3 bartenders. When we moved to a dining table everything improved. Great service and nice table. Our table had Cesar salad, egg plant parmesan, se bass and a burger. Everyone enjoyed their food and still had room for dessert, banana split and chocolate mousse! Next time we may skip the bar and just eat.

    The staff was very kind. They closed a section for the patrons due to the construction happening in front of the restaurant. The food was mediocre. Our fish n chips were crunchy on one side and soggy on the other…maybe from not properly draining the oil? Not sure. Maybe we’ll try it again another time.
    The Cooperage American GrilleResponded on June 28, 2025
    Thanks for the feedback, Alice! We're glad to hear that our staff was kind to you despite the construction. We're sorry to hear that our food didn't meet your expectations. We strive for consistency in our dishes and your feedback will help us improve. We hope to serve you again another time. We appreciate your feedback and hope to make your next visit a better one.

    Very poor service. We waited over 20 minutes for a waiter to come by to ask us what kind of water we wanted. My food order was wrong when it finally did arrive.

    If you like maple syrup flavor in your food, this is your kind of place! Everything we ordered seemed to have maple syrup in it: fried chicken, burger, chicken sandwich. Maybe it’s an east coast thing…
