Cooper's Hawk Winery - Sarasota County

Wine tasting was good but a little rushed. Server cleaned table with a napkin, not very sanitary. Food was on point. Bathroom was disgusting. I told host during wine tasting. They sent two people to clean it, but when I used bathroom again there was vomit on the wall and sanitary dispenser was overflowing. For a restaurant that is supposed to be upscale , the cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. Unfortunately it has gone downhill.

Excellent house wine collection. Food was delicious, appetizers were good. Waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about wine. Very cool wine bar atmosphere. I recommend the wine flight for tasting.

Great pork chop for lunch. But they require reservations for lunch at 11:30AM. So I walked outside, clicked Open Table, reserved a table, walked back in and was promptly seated. Seemed silly, but the robots are in charge.

I’m going to limit my review mainly to the shrimp and scallop risotto I had this evening. It was the best risotto dish I’ve ever had. Truly perfectly prepared risotto, perfect flavors, perfect consistency.The others at my table were also happy with their entrees.My only criticism is the overhead hanging lights in the bar area are glaringly bright!!

It was extremely cold in there. We all had to keep our jackets on. Service was good. I ordered pistachio crusted grouper and it was fabulous ?.
