Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant- Richmond, VA

Had high hopes. Were off to an amazing start with gluten free bread! That's not a common option so I was thrilled but that was the peak of the meal. As for the rest of the food..meh. Ordered the the thai lettuce wraps for the app and it wasn't terrible but we wished we skipped it. My parnter and I both ordered risotto, I got the shrimp and scallop while he got the short rib risotto. The rice in mine had no flavor what so ever with the shrimp and scallops cooked to death while the short ribs version was better, it was very one note but edible. While we waited for ages for our server to return we just decided to just share the short rib. When the server finally returned she informed us that his wasn't gluten free even though his dish was also on the gf menu. I wouldn't have ate it if I had known that and if the server would have checked in on us before. She was gone for a long time after the food got dropped off. We left upset and won't be back. Who knows if it was an off night but I can't justify coming here again. Also, the server said since it was our first time here she would let us try the wine before we ordered a bottle of it but never mentioned the sample had a charge. Not a great surprise on the bill after an upsetting experience here.

Myself and my party had a wonderful brunch. We were celebrating a successful bridal dress pick and engagement. Our waitress Sophie was lovely. Drinks and good was overall tasty. I was glad my vegan and gluten intolerant friends were able to find food they enjoyed. One of the shrimp dishes had a sauce that needed more body, but overall it was a good experience. Definitely would come again!

Atmosphere was fine, but I went for Thanksgiving and despite letting the server know I had Celiac Disease, ordering from the gluten free menu and checking each time food was delivered I was served gluten and spent the entire night incredibly sick. I sent an email and didn't get a response.
