Executive Chef Nick Dugan, who also serves Sorelle, will oversee The Cooper’s food and beverage concepts, which include:

The Crossing: This is the hotel’s signature restaurant, which blends Mediterranean flavors and Southern hospitality. This spot will have 196 seats, a bar, a raw bar, a private dining room, and a chef’s table.

CurrentBurger: Think classic soda shop, with a menu of smash burgers, fries, milkshakes, and ice cream. This spot will also have a walk-up window so you can take your food on the go.

Cooper Coffee & Wine: This all-day cafe will overlook The Cooper Marina, and offer coffee and breakfast in the morning, and become an intimate wine bar by evening.

Bar Marti: Located on the fourth floor, this will be a guests-only poolside bar and food spot.
