Love this restaurant! Wish they would bring back happy hour! I heard it was a corporate decision and not the individual restaurant. But a lot of people really enjoyed it. The prices are a bit high to go on a regular basis. But the food is excellent nonetheless.

Their breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all rather nice. A little spendy but the flavours are worth the cost. The service was very good and timely. Would return.

I was staying at the Marriott, and all the restaurants close by were closed so I went downstairs to Cooper Mill. The restaurant has a rustic feel to it, and the food has a homemade taste. I enjoyed the flavor of my dish, and I received amazing service.

Wife and I stayed at the Marriott for the weekend and decided to visit Coopers Mill after hours on the road. We were pleasantly surprised at what we discovered! The service from our server Heather was great, she was sweet and helpful. We had the pretzel and cheese which was awesome, the striped bass and the half chicken were cooked very well and tasty. The following evening we decided to order to go and take it to the room. The Hostess, Ayal was very helpful. The dining room was busy, so as I waited to have my order submitted I was broght a glass of water. She then offered to call the room when the food was ready, and it was done in a very timely manner. Short rib sliders, Brussels sprouts, and the Marriott burger were all great. Would definitely return again while visiting the area!

Great spot. We went in for lunch and we enjoyed everything. My wife and mother-in-law recommend the basil grapefruit martini. I recommend the bulliet bourbon honey pot. With a name like Cooper, I had a feeling it was going to be great, and it was. Parking was 7.

10/10 experience! I ordered the Jumbo Crab Cake sandwich w/fries, Fried Calamari and Fried Cookie Dough through Uber Eats pickup. The waitress/er were all nice and attentive. Atmosphere is laid back and very clean. Parking was easy. The food was amazing and very hot! The only change I would make, is to dine-in instead of takeout.
