A Fond Farewell to Esquire by Cooper’s Hawk
So, I just found out that Esquire by Cooper’s Hawk, that chic little spot at 58 E Oak St, Chicago, has officially closed its doors. Such a bummer! Seriously, it leaves a gap in the Chicago dining scene. The memories, though, wow. Can’t believe how many people loved this place—it racked up a solid 4.3 stars with nearly 400 reviews!
The atmosphere was, well, pretty great. The decor? Simply stunning, like a Pinterest board brought to life. Imagine dining among gorgeous chandeliers in a space that gives you the feel of being somewhere upscale without the unnecessary pretentiousness. Plus, who could resist the view of the upscale shops right outside?
Food wise, Esquire was on another level. I mean, folks were raving about lobster rolls that were apparently the best ever. And let’s not even get started on that marshmallow-topped banana pudding. I can almost taste it now! It seemed like a fabulous spot for date night or just catching up with friends over tasty small plates and wines. I heard their wine tower tour was a must-do—and who doesn’t love some wine education with a side of delicious food?
Oh, and let’s talk about service! Whether it was Chris, Sandra, or Octavian, many reviewers seemed to think the staff nailed it. Attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, they made sure everyone felt welcome. A lot of people even mentioned how accommodating the servers were, making each dining experience memorable. Sounds like they really nailed that “hey, we care about you” vibe.
Sure, there were a few folks mentioning some slowness here and there, but hey, with good food and good conversation, isn’t that part of the experience? And hey, who doesn’t enjoy a relaxed meal with some laughter, right?
Outdoor seating was a nice touch too—perfect for those evenings when you want to sip wine under the stars. Fun fact: valet parking was pretty reasonable for a place in the Gold Coast, which is a rarity!
So, here’s a toast to Esquire by Cooper’s Hawk. You may be gone, but your memories and delicious meals live on. If you find yourself craving that same vibe, the Cooper’s Hawk locations still have your back. Cheers!
