Cooper's Hawk In Plainfield Is Officially Open

PLAINFIELD, IL — Cooper's Hawk Winery and Restaurant officially opened its doors in Plainfield this weekend.

The winery moved into The Boulevard Place, a development anchored by Costco off Route 30 and near Interstate 55 on the border with Joliet. The restaurant was first confirmed to be opening in the village in March 2024, and construction began in the fall, Patch reported.

At Cooper's Hawk, you'll find a "wine-driven dining experience" inspired by the Napa Valley. Each location features a wine-tasting room where guests can "explore and expand their palettes," according to the company's website. For dinner, the menu offers a variety of main courses, from pasta, seafood, steak, and surf and turf.

"I was privileged to be a part of the ribbon cutting and I will tell you all — first and foremost I'm so impressed by the dedication and work ethic of their staff," Mayor John Argoudelis wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday. "Food and wine were fabulous of course. Welcome to Plainfield folks — you'll make this the best!!"

So far, it seems the restaurant is as excited to be in Plainfield as village residents are to have it.

"We're loving Plainfield!" the team commented on the mayor's post.

Cooper's Hawk, headquartered in Downers Grove, operates 18 other locations in Illinois, including in nearby Montgomery and Naperville.

The Plainfield location is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Dinner reservations are highly recommended, while wine tastings are available only for walk-ins.

Cooper's Hawk executives did not respond to Patch's request for comment.
