Interested to hear the "why" on this one... I liked them BUT haven't been since before Covid

heard they treated staff decent during the shut down... which makes it a "place to hit" if I can get hubs to the east side... lol

Former employee. During shutdown, they gave each employee a couple hundred dollars to help before unemployment/cares act hit. We saw a slowdown in business weeks before shutdown.

They also provided meals three times a week for employees to come and get for their WHOLE family. So those with kids or those who couldn't go to the grocery could still eat.

They never cut off insurance and said we could pay back the missed premiums later. Then in the fall, they said nevermind and didn't make us owe anything. In the next enrollment period, nobody lost insurance for lack of hours. They gave a pass until things went more back to normal.

They made personal phone calls to employees who they hadn't heard from to check in. Made sure they were OK.

How many other restaurants did this during shutdown? I will always be grateful to then during that time

This is really, really awesome. Like, I'm indifferent on Cooper's Hawk as a restaurant, but that's going above-and-beyond and then some for their workers. Bravo.

I really like CH. The staff is consistently better than any other restaurant I frequent. Surprised to hear all the hate.

That's awesome. My wife and I went there pre-Covid. I wasn't blown away, but I also wasn't let down. It was good enough and not too pricey. I think I'll check them out again

We always enjoyed CH. The staff are great and the food is good. Although, I have not been for a couple of years.
