   Amazing! We loved the menu, the ambiance and of course the WINE. We did experience one rude staff member but the manager was gracious In making up for it. Can’t wait to return!

   We went to enjoy Tom Colicchio’s menu and it didn’t disappoint. Those dishes were amazing!! The regular menu was good. Pork belly was a bit too sweet with access sauce - would be better served right on the pickled vegetables instead of on the side. Our server ghosted us several times and then forgot our coffee at the end as well as no coffee spoon or sugar offered. The restaurant itself is beautiful!

   I must say I was very very impressed.We went here for my husband birthday and he really enjoyed it .The menu is not that big but it’s items we ordered and enjoyed.We are both wine drinkers so we orders 2 bottles of wine .They allow you to try up to 2 wines per person at the table for free .I can literally go on and on but this is definitely a place I will be back .

   Easily the worst dining experience in 3 years. We checked in with the hostess and moved to the side while they got ready. Staff members repeatedly asked to help us as we waited, so I expected an attentive evening. Dinner started off great - decent wine selections and pairings (not all CH). Apps of Hamachi and agnoletti were quite good, and service remained attentive. And then we dropped off a cliff. Our server told us 3 times our entrees were coming as we watched new diners sit, eat and leave. Forty minutes later our meals came - rare filet vs the med ordered and cold monkfish. Those meals went back as even the manager saw there was a problem. Then the manager disappeared. We sat and watched servers move about, none bringing our food. The comped wine came as we asked for the check, then appeared on the bill. The manager (Mike? no biz card) tried to make it right but blaming the kitchen every 15 minutes isn't enough. We cut our loss and made an exit as the table next to us commented on the poor food and service we received. This restaurant seems to be working on celebrity (rotating media-hyped guest chefs, winery reputation) and not the service and quality a diner should receive in this dining room.

    The service was slow, it took so long to get our food that the server thought we ate already and was ready for dessert. Took over 2 hours to get main course was scared to ask for dessert.

    My husband and I decided to make a last minute reservation here to help cope with Sunday blues and it was the best decision I made all week! Food was amazing and the service was excellent before, during, and after the meal!! He ended up leaving his cell phone there and when we called them to see if it was left there, the staff went above and beyond to find it. I will absolutely be back and recommend it for any date nights with significant others, friends and/or family.

    A brief menu with the majority of entrées being beef, including 3 diffierent short rib recipee offerings. The menu should be a bit more diverse in its offerings. Perhaps drop some of yhe steak & short rib offerings, and add additional seafood & chicken dishes.

    As Coopers Hawk wine club members since 2017, we jumped at the opportunity to visit the Esquire by Coopers Hawk. And we weren’t disappointed. We did the Esquire wine tasting which featured four excellent wines followed by a tour of the three story Wine Tower housing over 2400 bottles of wine. Dinner was in a very impressive dining room and the meatball appetizer and 8 oz filet were cooked perfectly. Did I mention the service was top notch and they truly make you feel special. We highly recommend Esquire by Coopers Hawk.

    First time at this location. Nice ambiance, good food and service. Even tho we waited for our main courses quite a bit, they were delicious. For myself I ordered the colossal shrimp for appetizer, the pancetta wrapped monkfish for main course and firefly for dessert. The dish was on the colder side and fish was undercooked in the middle, but our server said that he will notify the kitchen staff. I ate the the pancetta and the outer part of the monkfish which was very tasty! We will go back anytime

    Had an amazing time for Mother's day with my wife. Getting reservations ANYWHERE on this day was a challenge. They not only got us in but was able to move my reservation (8:45 p.m.) to 5:00 p.m. (Thank God for whomever must have cancelled. When you first walk in you are drawn into the elevated wine experience and treated to a history lesson on wine! (Perfect for the lovers of history like my wife and I). We walked up to the escalator and was immediately impressed with the Light fixture from the original theater. IT'S gorgeous in there! The hosts were welcoming and very happy to have us join them. When we were seated, we were overwhelmed by the more than 1600 varieties of wine and the sheer size of the WINE TOWER (you you read that right)! Our server Dillon, WHO WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Offered to have a sommelier walk us through the wine list. Jordyn did a wonderful job of explaining the wines to us and helpd us to pick a wine that my wife fell in love with. For our dinner my wife selected the salmon dish and I had the 14 ounce prime strip steak.....D-Lish-USSS!!!!!!! one of the best meals I've had downtown chicago! The salmon was flaky and succulent and the steak with perfectly cooked medium. SOOO FLAVORFUL!!!!! For desert we had the salted caramel creme brulee...A Must TRY!!! after dinner, out of curiosity, we asked if we could see the wine tower up close. (we knew it was busy and we didn't expect a tour). The wonderful people found a sommelier to take us up! IT WAS JORDYN!! She was so happy to walk us through and made us feel so special. We had a great time and will be back with friends!!!!!!

    If you enjoy Cooper's Hawk, you will LOVE Esquire. It's everything great about the traditional CH approach, but on steroids. We took our mom there for Mother's Day and for a wine lover, she had a blast. Highly recommended - and go with the braised short rib... for me.

    The restaurant itself is beautiful and the food was very good… with that being said, service needs extreme improvement. If Coopers Hawk wants to make this a more upscale dining experience in the area it is located, the servers need to match the experience. Very kind people, but inexperienced servers that seemed like their first time working in this level of restaurant - couldn’t make wine or food recommendations, plates sitting on table not being cleared, water rarely filled, missing silverware when the food arrived. All for learning, but they either need more training or better hires, in general. The food is great and I love the concept of rotating chefs, but hesitant to return to spend $$$ with the service we received. Based on other reviews, this seems to be a common theme that they need to fix in order to last as a restaurant. We had better servers multiple times in suburb locations than downtown. Why not take the top servers from other locations and transfer them to Esquire?
