The unfortunate part was a long hair was found in my food and another dish had to be brought out. I have a bald head so it wasn't mine.

The food was amazing and the service was even better! We split the beet salad and gnocchi starters and they were both so yummy! The sauce on the gnocchi was especially delicious. We also split the cod entree and it was cooked to perfection. The kitchen even split the starters and entree for us which we definitely were not expecting. Desserts were also great and it was nice to be able to treat my mother to this special experience. She is still raving about it.

Worst place to order online.
Got my order online to go on 9/27/2
On 9/28/25 by 5:58pm by the time to pick up the told that my order never been cooked.
Instead they offer wait 5 minutes to wait to get my order.
I believe it's not possible for Grilled Fileton what cost $75.00 per dish get ready for 5 minutes. I refuse to get one.
So, I got my refund nex day.
If you wanna get good time go in, bu not get order online and to go.

Super nice farm to fork restaurant in granite Bay. Great service, wonderful bar selection and craft cocktail drinks. I went specifically for the burger and was not disappointed. In house ground hamburger patties along with in-house made pretty much everything from bun, pickles and yes house made American cheese. The drinks were outstanding as well.

From the moment we walked thru the door the service was exceptional! This was our first time and we went with the six course meal… it DID NOT disappoint, we will definitely go back, and definitely request our waiter, Parker.

Absolutely love dining at Hawks! The curated menu is delicious and beautifully presented, service is always top-notch, and the vibe is warm yet refined. Andrew, our server went above and beyond with his wine recommendations and made our evening memorable. One of the best dining experiences around!

August 2025 Tasting Menu Review
We’ve been going to Hawks off and on for over a decade. The food has always been great, but honestly, it’s been the same menu for what feels like forever. I wasn’t even sure I wanted to go this time, but with an unexpected child-free night and the need for a good meal close to home, we figured, why not?
The ambiance was just as it always is, peaceful, upscale, and beautifully understated. It’s the kind of place where the lighting is soft, the setting feels calm, and you actually feel like you can exhale. The noise level was comfortable, not too loud, not too quiet. Our waiter, Peter, was fantastic. He was present, never pushy, unhurried in the best way, and still attentive. It felt relaxed, almost European, which was honestly refreshing.
We decided to try the August tasting menu. To our surprise, this was a new offering. It’s never really been a thing at Hawks, so it felt like a welcome shift. We figured something different would be nice, but we didn’t expect what came out of that kitchen. Every course exceeded our expectations. Michelin-level plating, creative flavor pairings, and a noticeable elevation in execution.
The tuna tartare was fantastic, super fresh and well-balanced with the wasabi and shiso. The grilled amberjack with compressed melon was bright and unexpected. The beef cheek cappelletti with seared scallop and truffle was rich and comforting, but still refined. Every bite felt thoughtful, and not a single dish fell flat. My husband and I joked that we needed to come back every month to see what the next menu will be. Though honestly, I don’t think we were joking.
They ended the meal with small caramels and a mini blueberry bite. A sweet little gesture to soften the blow of the bill, and it worked.
This was hands down the best meal we’ve ever had at Hawks. Whoever the new chef is, they’re doing something special. We will definitely be back.

We’ve dined at Hawks several times in the past and it was always such a treat to be coming back for the perfect dining experience. This time we came to celebrate my birthday but unfortunately, it was not a good as we anticipated. Starting from the hostess being unfriendly and not paying attention of our arrival. It was four of us and a child when we walked in and she didn’t greet us nor made an eye contact, she was staring at a device screen. We had to grab her attention to be seated. When we finally got seated our server came in, his name was Bogdan. It was a hot day that day and we were all thirsty but he left us waiting for a water for a while. When we asked him about it he was irritated like we’re not patient enough. He would not take any responsibility for any mishaps including the following, we ordered our entrees but asked for a basket of fries to start with. When the fries arrived with the rest of the food, we asked him about it and his answer was, “oh I didn’t know you wanted it in a different course.” What? He could just apologize, no big deal, but he made it seem like it’s our fault. Never seen such arrogant server. This is not a place for him. It was not a pleasant birthday dinner.
