The Fox & Ford brand draws its inspiration from the travels of Pere Jacques Marquette—the hotel's namesake. Together with Louis Joliet, Marquette traveled the Fox River and studied cultures from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. Ford means to cross a river, so while the name signals the property's history, it also represents a new era for the Pere Marquette as we forge ahead toward a vibrant future.

    Over the years, I have never had a bad experience with the food or service at Cooper's Hawk. A+. Our exceptional service was provided by Cheyenne (sp?). The restaurant is large and every table was taken and folks were waiting in the wine lobby area. The noise level was energetic for sure. That was the only negative side. Most of the time, I couldn't hear my dining partners. I typically don't go on Friday or Sat. nights when the noise level is so energetic.

    Perfect couples dinner. Our table had a gorgeous view of an Autumn sunset over the river. For starters we had the crab dip. It was piping hot served with fresh warm tortilla chips, highly recommend. My husband and I split the beef tenderloin and grilled shrimp combo, each us had a small garden salad. You’re making a mistake if you pass on Jonah’s!

    When we went in I knew what I wanted. When Nicki described the special that changed my mind and I am so glad I went with that selection. Absolutely delicious pork loin with honey chipotle salsa glaze.
