I've come here for a few different occasions: baby shower, fancy dinners, and (best of all) their fall festival. A room was reserved for the baby shower and they made it a lovely afternoon. The staff was very accommodating as I had to arrive late but they saved a plate of food for me. This is a popular dining spot in the evening, an upscale place for a nice dinner. Excellent selections, especially fish, and interesting sides to go along. They always have a great menu for Long Island Restaurant Week! I'm personally not a fan of their key lime pie, which has a whipped consistency with cream cheese. Their eggplant fries are absolutely amazing though! The BEST part about Cooperage Inn (in my opinion) is their fall festival, which is held outside every weekend in the fall. They offer excellent comfort food and drinks (I love their hot apple cider). You are not allowed inside to use the restroom but there are (pretty nice) porta-potties outside for fall festival customers to use. There are also activities and animals for children to enjoy, so it's definitely family-friendly. The only complaint is how loud they play the music outside. They did turn pre-recorded music down upon request, but when there is a live band it is really too loud for conversation. There is usually about an hour before the live band begins each day for the fall festival, so arrive early if you want to be able to comfortably converse with others! I definitely recommend Cooperage Inn for a casual lunch outdoors, or a fancier meal at dinnertime.

Wonderful food at a reasonable price. Exquisitely clean everywhere! (We looked) Amazing attentive and helpful staff! Amazing in all aspects. Only one tiny critique though, we would prefer more salt in the pasta water

Made a reservation for Valentine's Day dinner. Have always wanted to come here for many years! It was such a warm and cozy experience. They have a wide array of entrees and appetizers. Drinks were reasonably priced (not $20 like most places) We ordered the bread basket which comes with an assortment of breads. The zucchini bread was AMAZING! We decided on soups for appetizers; seafood bisque and french onion. Seafood bisque was rich with some clumps of crab. French onion was classic. We were already full after finishing this and still had bread left over. For my entree I choose the marinated grilled flat iron steak. Great portion size, steak was perfect. It had chimichurri sauce and gorgonzola cheese. Garlic mashed potatoes were fab. My partner ordered the stuffed shrimp. You can choose between 2 or 4 for a few more dollars. He loved it as well. No complaints at all. Service was great. Staff was lovely and attentive. Highly recommend a reservation as it is always busy! I've tried dining before without a reservation and it was over 2 hour wait over the summer.

Came with family, party of 8 on Sunday before Christmas. The Cooperage has a warm & cozy cabin feel too it with rustic decor. It was packed, but i appreciated so much that there was ample space between tables. Even though it was crowded, it wasn't loud at all. We throughly enjoyed the space and time we were there, as we were not rushed at all. Loved that it was the regular menu, not abbreviated holiday menu as most restaurants do this time of year. Everything we enjoyed was outstanding. Everyone raved about their food, and we sampled plenty! Appetizers, dinners and desserts. The taste and the presentation were too notch. Our server was a nice gentleman. We are a high maintenance group (not me...others in our family party) and he delivered with a smile. Overall we had a great meal, a great time and some nice photos to remember our evening. I can't wait to go back.

After avoiding the Cooperage for 15 years I am happy to say we had a fabulous dinner! We had a reservation for 5 of us and we were seated immediately. We were not rushed at all despite the restaurant being quite busy. The holiday decor was inviting and the fireplace toasty Three of us enjoyed the Grouper special and boy was it ever delicious. Served over garlic mash potatoes and sautéd spinach. One person ordered the Francaise chicken and shrimp and another had the fabulous steak. Did I mention we all indulged in the bread basket and two orders of fried calamari Everything from start to finish was wonderful. Looks like we will be back again soon!!

6/21/24 We returned to the Cooperage this evening and had a wonderful meal. I opted for the swordfish special and I asked our waitress how I should have it prepared because there is nothing worse than swordfish If it's dried out, she recommended pan fried and it was perfect! Hubby chose to have the duck that is served with stuffing rice and a lovely glaze. I know he enjoyed it very much. Thank you, Cooperage.
