The lamb curry was spot on, just like I remember from my travels. Paired it with a bold red from their list, which really stood up to the spices. Samosas were great too, huge portions.

The food at Cooper&#39;s Hawk is consistently delicious, with standout dishes like the churrasco steak and ginger salmon. The attentive service and clean environment make it a place I highly recommend for a great dining experience.

The fried chicken was solid, always fresh on the buffet line. Good for a quick business lunch nearby. Portions are decent for the price.

We enjoyed a delightful meal at Destination Grille, especially the street corn dip which was a standout. The service was top-notch, with our server Ed being very professional and attentive.
