The Copper Crow — Restaurant in Horsham Township

Three weeks ago we had dinner on Monday night at this restaurant. It is in a very good location and has a modern clean look.

Upon arrival we were greeted by the hostess who sat us promptly at our table. Our waitress Danita was pleasant and polite. We ordered a martini, that was served in an old fashioned champagne glass? Also appetizers were ordered, Muscles in red sauce and a wedge salad with blue cheese.

The plates were delivered by a food runner so miserable that you could see as his misery in his slumped shoulders as he made his approach to the table. He proceeded to place the appetizers with the gentleness of a vaudeville comedian, on the table (THUD,THUD) with each drop.

The Fra Diablo Muscles in red sauce was tasty don’t know if the sausage in the sauce is needed. The second martini was disappointing. We shared the Steak Frites, the steak was cooked to order, the frites were seasoned and portioned out as if one was paying per fries. Mr pleasant was on the scene again to deliver with the same level of enthusiasm and energy.

The hamburger was adequately served from the kitchen, the bun kept the burger in place, because of the same practiced lack of care with delivery. It came as ordered.

The cookie ice cream dessert was okay, nothing special.

While waiting for the check, we had two mice run along the bench seats as if to send us into the evening after dinner. They scrambled back and forth for a minute before separating and disappearing into the cushions. Nothing was said as we were all in shock and surprised. What an awful end to the evening.

This was the start to a long nightmare. Upon reheating the Fra Diablo Muscles in red sauce with sausage the next afternoon on Tuesday. It had been promptly refrigerated. I got violently ill. Another person was stricken with severe diarrhea. All people involved are well versed in food preparation and storage. Eating the muscles alone as presented at the restaurant.

One of my party lost 3 days with violent stomach pains and vomiting and serious bouts of nausea and diarrhea. Doctors were consulted and more than a little concerned about the health risks associated with bad seafood poisoning. Three and half days later they were able to resume their normal routine at a diminished pace.

This a one and done experiment with The Cooper Crow restaurant, I was looking forward to the dinner it is was a great disappointment for all of our participants.

They have plenty of free parking adjacent to...

I came here about a month and a half ago with my boyfriend because he had a gift card given to him a while back that had gone unused and forgotten, and when I initially looked at the menu online I was a tad nervous, as I am on the autism spectrum and I struggle with ARFID, so I'm quite picky and tend to prefer fast food or casual dining over places that have a fancier feel since they tend to be more likely to serve something I can actually eat. From the moment we walked into the place it felt classy and pleasant and despite it being quite busy we were seated, given bread, and had our drink orders taken within 15 minutes. I ended up ordering the 10oz Wagyu Flank Steak since I had reasonable confidence that I couldn't go wrong with a classic steak dinner, and my boyfriend got the 8oz Filet Mignon, and oh my GOODNESS were they delicious! The steaks were cooked perfectly and were juicy, tender and delicious, and the potato wedges were flavorful and wonderfully crispy on the outside. I will say that I do wish the asparagus was more seasoned and that the flavor on that was rather dull, and in the tasting of each other's food I'd say the fingerling potatoes and green beans that came with the filet mignon also somewhat lacked seasoning, which is the only reason I deducted a single star on the food rating as everything else was beyond delicious. Him and I also traded our sauces (mine came with the "Crow Sauce" which was essentially a house-made steak sauce, and his came with the black garlic cream sauce) as I'm not much a fan of sauces but he wanted to taste mine, and he wholeheartedly believed I'd love the garlic sauce, and HOLY YUM, I am SO glad I agreed to try it because it elevated the meal to a whole other level and I sincerely hope that when we return I'll be able to ask for that sauce again! It is a bit of a pricey menu for the average person, but even without our gift card this is absolutely somewhere I would choose to come for a nice meal on a special occasion considering I left full, happy, and satisfied with the lovely balanced meal we...

The Copper Crow is a nice improvement to the restaraunt scene in the horsham area, I’m excited it’s here.

The service was great, very welcoming, still working out the kinks (it’s day 2, mind you), but their attitude and approach is awesome. An old fashioned should not involve muddled orange slices and bright red cherries. Use brandied cherries, expressed orange peel (not slices), and a large ice cube instead of well ice. Alternatively, charge less than $14. I did get Basil Hayden’s, but for that price please put some effort into the sugar and orange peel. Margaritas should come with salt, of which should at least invoke a prompt from the server. Hornitos and what I presume was sour mix was blah. You can improve on the house margarita. The duck confit grilled cheese sounds great on paper, but is boring and borderline flavorless in execution. The watermelon salad was great, I like the whipped feta, and loved the corn bread croutons. A fun dish and surprisingly, my favorite. The octopus was tasty, and served with some kind of tasty cilantro sauce if memory serves. Really nice! The crab and avocado toast was pretty good. The bacon and onion pizza did not have marinara sauce and was not exactly to my taste, though the crust and bacon were tasty. Not sure if this qualifies as ‘white pizza’ as it didn’t have that predominant garlic taste you’d expect, but it’s something like a wood-fired white pizza with bacon.

All in all: I’d say they could tighten up the cocktails, lose the grilled cheese, keep going with the salads, and keep up with the customer service! Excited to see what else you can do, keep it weird!

Edit: I realize there's only two reviews here, and this is a new business, updated my review to 5 stars. I seriously recommend folks...
