Cooper's Hawk Winery - Sarasota County

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 ?.

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.

Busy restaurant, upscale atmosphere, ok service, sub-par food. Neither my guest’s Asian Chicken salad nor my Trio of Medallions met our expectations. The chicken on the salad was fried and very oily and the salad dressing was poured too heavy and pretty spicy. The crusts on the Medallions were not really a crust but more like a patty of some kind. The medallions were overcooked, the mashed potatoes were excellent.Huge menu and wine list. Overall we were not impressed

I was disappointed, our second visit to the place and our food was not good: the sea food bisque was robust but too salty, the chicken entre was Parmesan crusted on a bed of mashed potatoes that were soupy with too much broth, the pickled vegetables were all little pieces except for the cauliflower and needed a spoon which we weren't given to eat, and the only taste was sour and soggy not crispy as I expected. My companion had a chicken dish that was way too salty
