“After spending the last few months preparing for our grand opening, my staff and I could not be more excited to introduce Maryland to our signature menu, award-winning wines and great guest experiences,” said Scott Anderson, General Manager. “We are eager to join Annapolis’ growing culinary community!”
Complementing Cooper’s Hawk’s innovative concept is the restaurant’s unique design. The two-story establishment will feature a lower-level tasting room and gift shop with the restaurant, bar and outdoor dining space located on the second level. Each Cooper’s Hawk location is distinctive in layout and décor, but carries the same warmth and elegance that guests have come to expect.

Signature dishes include: Soy Ginger Salmon, Chicken Giardiniera, Asian Pork Belly Tostadas and Mexican Drunken Shrimp.
