Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurant was founded by CEO Tim McEnery in 2005, but is a new addition to Rockville. Offering a contemporary American fusion menu, this upscale dining experience is centered around its exquisite wine selections.  

As you enter the restaurant you are immediately met with the tasting room where, for just $8, you can sample a series of wines. Once seated, you can look over the menu with starters like the carna asada flatbread, which is topped with mozzarella, skirt steak, pesto and onions. Of course, you also must start with the candied bacon and artisan cheese plate. What is wine without its best friend, cheese? You may notice after each item there is a bin number listed. This ingenious notation is to help guide you to the perfect wine pairing. You can look over the menu here.

Be sure to make a reservation before you head over. Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurant has quickly become a popular eatery in the Rockville area.
