New restaurant and wine bar coming to SW Ohio

Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant is moving ahead with plans to add a new location between Dayton and Cincinnati.

The Chicago-based restaurant chain applied Tuesday to the Ohio Division of Liquor Control for a liquor license for a restaurant planned for Liberty Center in Butler County. It operates restaurants in Cincinnati (8080 Montgomery Road) and Columbus. Each Cooper’s Hawk includes a winery, full-service restaurant, tasting room and retail store. Wines are made from grapes grown in California, Oregon, Washington and Michigan.

My curiosity is piqued. If you’ve been, what have been your experiences at a Cooper’s Hawk?
