    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.

    This was our sixth Prix Fixe dinner at Hamilton Walkers and one of the best. The Italian wines were really excellent, matching the five-course meal at every stage. The pacing of the courses was good, and as usual each was well introduced by the Chef. The only item we did not like is the news that the Chef will be moving to Indianapolis soon. Good for him, worrisome for the fan base he's built in Champaign. I hope he has trained another talented chef to take over or he will be missed like a set of lost car keys.
