We came here to celebrate my daughter's new job with the state, and it was such a wonderful experience. We arrived a bit early for our 7:30 reservation, so we sat at the bar and enjoyed a couple glasses of their cabernet, which was incredibly smooth. Ambiance was casual and cool. Once our table was ready, we brought our drinks over and were treated to a complimentary mushroom soup served in a shot glass--so creamy and smooth with just a hint of mushroom flavor. It was a lovely touch. We shared a charcuterie board featuring a variety of duck mousse and liver combinations along with different spreads, all beautifully prepared. We also ordered the shrimp appetizer, which was absolutely delicious. For our main course, we had two orders of the short ribs and two short rib burgers. Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. I especially appreciated how attentive our server was in ensuring my meal was completely gluten-free. I was too full to try dessert, but the rest of my party enjoyed theirs--be sure to check out the photos! read more

This is a complaint about the rudeness of the staff, with seating. My husband and I made a month in advance reservation for Valentine's Day for their Valentine's Day menu. Arrived on time @5:30pm, all sections available, they set us up in the middle of the restaurant, where there was the most food traffic. Although we called and asked them to note that we like to sit next to each other, and asked nicely for them to move away from the middle of the restaurant- to somewhere more intimate - the floor manager told us "no we can't move you and that everything is set up the way it is." The way it was handled by the floor put a disgusting taste in our mouth and we left, zero accommodation was made or even offered. This is a stark contrast from the other times we have ate here. read more

From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place is all about quality and great service. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help they make every visit enjoyable and stress-free. The food is consistently delicious and beautifully prepared. Whether you're there for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The portion sizes are generous and the menu has something for everyone. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, perfect for family meals, catching up with friends, or grabbing a great meal after a long day. I always leave HAWKs happy and already looking forward to my next visit! Highly recommend definitely one of Granite Bay's best! read more

Great service from the staff, most notably, we really enjoyed chatting with the sommelier. Tried the tasting menu which gave us a good synopsis of the menu, which changes every so often given the focus on ingredients. If you can't make a decision on what to order, would highly suggest trying out the tasting menu. Ambience was pretty good here on a Saturday night. A good mix of all kinds of people. If coming here in the evening on a weekend would recommend elevating your outfit beyond business casual. All around a great experience. read more

Hawks - Scallop ( tasting menu Spring 2026) - New American Near Me - Granite Bay, California

Hawks is one of our favorite restaurants. Consistent, high quality food and service. Their menu changes often which I love because we can try new things but it always makes me sad when something I love is replaced at the same time, but that's part of the experience! The short rib Wagyu burger was SO juicy and flavorful! The Cesar salad had a punchy ceasar flavor but still creamy versus a vinaigrette and the short rib was fantastic as always. I wasn't a huge fan of their take on a red velvet cake , the cream cheese gelato was the best part but overall a fantastic meal. If you are looking for an upscale dining experience that is not downtown Sacramento this is your spot! Reservations highly recommended!! read more

Been to this restaurant multiple times, and this last visit showed they're as great as always. This is probably one of the best elevated restaurants in the area. I got a pine-apple mocktail (sweet but still very drinkable) and the tagliarini entree. Since the rest of my party ordered a first course, I got a complimentary soup (in addition to the complimentary potato soup they serve in a skinny glass) from the chef so everyone is able to eat together. The entree was actually pretty filling despite the main protein just being some mushrooms (there was a pretty good amount of pasta despite the portion initially looking small because of it being neatly piled). They gave a complimentary sweet treat at the end of the meal (my party also added a couple of desserts to share, the pecan tart was smaller than I expected but still good). The sorbets have a wide selection of flavors too (we got the black currant flavor and the mango flavor). Would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Hawks is our favorite place to meet up for girls' night dinners, and it never disappoints. We shared several dishes so we could try a little of everything, and every plate impressed us. The green onion potato soup was rich and comforting, the gnocchi was deliciously tender, the pork chop was cooked perfectly, and the fish was fresh and flavorful. The cocktails were just as memorable--creative, unique, and absolutely delicious. Every drink felt thoughtfully made and added so much to the experience. What really makes it so special is the staff. Everyone is always so warm, friendly, and attentive, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrive. Great food, amazing drinks, and wonderful service every time. A perfect spot for a fun girls' night out. read more

We went here on our anniversary. Hawks was so hyped up to us by friends and coworkers even since we moved into the area that we were really looking forward to it. Ambience was wonderful. Wait staff was pleasant and our server was amazing as well. We ordered the Chefs Tasting and for 165 per person this was really wonderful. They also have wine pairings but we opted out of it as we wanted to try other wines. Food presentation and taste was mind blowing. Staff was very attentive and we were well taken care of. Definitely something we will want to go back again and again. read more

We celebrated our anniversary with dinner at Hawks. Service was outstanding.... very attentive. Food was very good with the minor exception of the duck confit being a bit dry. While it tasted good and fell off the bone, duck shoulder never be dry considering the fat content. Wine by-the -glass pours are skimpy. 2 glasses would equal one glass at most other places. The noise level is quite high so any conversation can be difficult. read more

Finally I have found a restaurant in these parts that rivals the experience of fine Napa or Sonoma style dining. Other comparable places do exist here, however, Hawks is just one step above the others. We came here to celebrate a birthday and the entire experience was wonderful, start to finish. Atmosphere, service, food... everything is exceptional. It has a cozy high end country feel to it, well appointed and tastefully designed and decorated. Tables are nicely spaced for private conversation. There were quite a few children, surprisingly, yet not at all intrusive or bothersome. I suspect big scoops of ice cream helped. The reception staff were extremely cordial and friendly and we were seated immediately for our reservation time. Getting a nice cozy corner of the restaurant was perfect. The menu is varied and enough choices to satisfy most tastes, with even a burger. There's an extensive eight course tasting menu with wine pairing that looked amazing. It just was too much food for us this particular evening. Unlike my usual tap water we had a sparkling water from an English estate that was surprisingly refreshing. Much better than tap! A hearty and crispy edged bread and butter arrived immediately and was replenished as needed. There's a bread board and station right in the middle of the restaurant, with an intriguing crumb drawer, for convenience in serving it. I was amazed at the incredibly creative cocktail menu. Apparently it changes often. I tried the Cashew Me Outside, with coconut infused gin and OMG it was awesome. Light, frothy and not too sweet. A perfect spring into summer drink. There's an extensive wine menu with so many choices it's nearly mind-boggling, including my favorite Cab, a Shafer Hillside Select, but at the price point it wasn't going to happen. Plenty of other good choices. They brought an amuse bouche of a mushroom soup in a small glass that was simply tasty and so well made...a great way to start the menu. For starters I had the Asparagus Salad, also well made with a light dressed. The asparagus were thicker than I'd expect but ever so tender and perfectly grilled. I ordered the Duck Confit for my entree on cous cous and greens. The flavors, textures and taste were excellent. The duck was not overly greasy which is all too often the case with a dish like this one. It had plump cherries that complimented the dish so well. I was quite content. For dessert we had the Ukranian honey cake. It had strawberries and a sauce that was delicious with it, and a whipped cream. Quite good it was a very nice sweet finish to the meal. I had a espresso with it, double shot. A nice rounding out the meal. The portions and price point were right on tatget. Our primary waiter and the entire staff were exceptional. Professional, engaging and very much making for a top notch experience. The only glitch, and not a big one to take major issue, was I really wanted a glass of wine with my entree and couldn't get the wine list until more than half way done eating it. I did finally get a glass of Sauvignon Blanc pronto, so all was good. I have to say that the experience was so delightful and good that I definitely will be back. read more

While the menu has minimal options that are vegan, our waiter Gregory was exceptionally knowledgeable and worked with the Chef to help tweak the menu as needed and ultimately recommended a custom vegan dish. Wonderful meal. read more

I had an anniversary dinner not long ago and we instantly love the decor, ambiance, and service. My companion ordered the filet mignon but was served short ribs. Still delicious tho, and the server was gracious upon our commenting. I ordered the duck and it was flavorful and well balanced it was a bit dry, however, but the waiter had recommended a good wine to go with it so it washed down well. I think this may be the best restaurant with an upscale vibe in Folsom and Granite Bay. Can't wait to get back. read more

Hawks is one of our favorite girl dinner spots! The level of service, the atmosphere, and the food itself all seal the deal as an amazing hit!!!

Lots of parking, which I really do appreciate. With a reservation, we were seated almost immediately. The whole restaurant itself is romantic and dimly lit. Though it got pretty busy in the evening, we definitely did not feel neglected at all. Our water was always refilled and the staff checked on us regularly (but not overly also, which I appreciated). Jackie was definitely the real MVP during our time here. She really went above and beyond and explained everything she brought out to us. As for the food, mostly everything tasted great. The pork cheeks were bit on the salty side in my opinion, but everything came out warm and plated perfectly. Though I enjoyed most items, some of my favorites were definitely the oysters, cod, wagyu, and dessert (warm butternut squash cake). This was our first time here and won't be our last. read more

Greg provided exceptional service to my spouse and at our first time dining at Hawks to celebrate our 7 year wedding anniversary. We started the night with some incredible bourbon-based signature cocktails and shared the homemade gnocchi with scallops. The gnocchi was absolutely incredible, had so much flavor, and is a perfect fall appetizer. We also got to sample a complementary soup and were served warm fresh bread. For dinner I ordered a glass of Chardonnay with the Roasted Chicken as my main entree, it cooked to perfection with great sides of Brussels sprouts with bacon bits and potatoes. The night finished off with some beignets with Carmel dipping sauce. The ambience at Hawks is so upscale and romantic and we had such a wonderful time dining here. Will definitely be back and I recommend Hawks! read more

I sat at the bar which had one available seat. Since I was dining alone, it was perfect. It was a busy night as early as 5:30pm, and it was quite loud. I had a difficult time hearing anything on my phone as that's what I had for company. Not a big issue though as so many of us are on our phones too much anyways. The bartender gave me the beverage menu. I ordered a drink and a glass of water. The drink came pretty quickly but I had to ask again for water after waiting a bit. The seat I took at the bar had just been made available when two ladies got up to go to their table. The bartender never cleaned off the bar where I was sitting and took some time to remove the two used cocktail napkins that were left there. I ordered the truffle burger (medium rare) and fries. The burger is Wagyu beef. It was cooked pretty much to my specifications but it lacked juiciness. Wagyu should be juicier (especially medium rare) than regular ground beef because of the extensive marbling, but this one wasn't. It was actually pretty dry. There was hardly any juice on my plate. Granted, the bottom bun stayed intact because of that, but I was expecting more, especially since this plate was $36. That's an expensive burger and should live up to it. It fell short in my opinion. It did have what looked to be microplaned black truffles served in a tiny dish on the side to put on the burger, and the lettuce, pickles and onions were very fresh. It still didn't add up to a $36 burger. The fries were good but not exceptional. I've been to Hawk's many times and ordered other items from the menu. It's been better before, even the burger. They have always been consistently great. I'll take a pass on the burger from now on. read more

It had been awhile since last my last visit to Hawks. We use to have my birthday lunches and dinners here when I worked in the area- they were excellent. We were here this time to celebrate an old friendship between my wife's old college teacher (94 yrs old) and us. We enjoyed each other's company and the fabulous food- we left after four hours of blissful enjoyment. The two ladies ordered the Duck Confit and I had ordered the beef short ribs. We also shared a potato gnocchi with pesto cream appetizer. Along the way, an amuse bouche pf Gazpacho was offered as well as some pomegranate jelly drops and chocolate squares later in the meal. To be honest - the offerings were limited for me and a slightly better than most restaurants- the duck confit was a little over cooked, the beef short ribs were typical but the gnocchi was perfect. But the crowning offering was the peach and cream souffle - a peach compote with vanilla anglaise souffle. A true mark of fine dining. Service was good and the cost (expensive). read more

This is hands down one of the best restaurants I have been to! The food exceeded all of our expectations and they catered to all of our different dietary restrictions. The mushroom soup will forever be one that I remember fondly. Not only is the food exceptional but the service and attention to our every need was amazing. The location is unassuming in a shopping center but once inside it is beautiful and romantic. Highly recommend coming here for a birthday or celebration. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu! We will definitely be back! I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! read more

This was for a birthday, so we picked a nice place like Hawks which was in our Yelp Collection list for years now. We got sat 15 minutes before our appointment time. It was a slow Monday night after all according to our server. I wanted to get the $165 tasting menu but the whole table had to be on it so we deferred. Libations: 1. Smok'em if you Got'em (cinammon smoked old fashioned) 2. Sunrise Spritz (low ABV aperol spritz) Victuals: 1. Amuse-Bouche. Non Alcoholic Eggnog 2. Purée of Butternut Squash Soup (and a complimentary mini bowl for my wife) with roasted hazelnuts and cilantro crema. 3. Liberty Duck Confit with chestnut farrotto and sweet Amagaki persimmons. 4. Slow Roasted Short Rib with fried Maitake mushrooms. 5. Steamed Lemon Pudding with Marcona streusel 6. Warm Brioche Beignets with salted caramel dip We had complimentary sourdough & butter for our bread service and holiday themed sweet treats (papaya gummies and chocolate brickles) to end our meal. Definitely not a "weekend's get out of the house meal". Service was very attentive and our server was super nice. Ambiance was dimly lit and decor was superb. Definitely a recommendation for an upscale meal when in the Roseville/Folsom area. read more

We went to Hawks for a double birthday dinner celebration. Hawks is known for their caliber of service and quality. They lived up to every detail. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. All of our drinks and entrees were delicious. I ordered the gnocchi and asked for a full dinner portion as it was listed on the appetizers. They were very accommodating. My husband and brother in law ordered the short rib, and it was excellent. Very tender and flavorful. I enjoyed the Tarte tatan dessert, and they even decorated the plate for my birthday! Very nice atmosphere for a special occasion. I'm sure we'll be back in the future. read more

We came here yesterday to celebrate my brother's birthday. Upon arrival we were off to a bumpy start.. the two bartenders saw us and did not acknowledge us, the hostess McKenna was not up front. Once McKenna did Come out she did not acknowledge us either and rather addressed the lady that came in after me. When she finally acknowledged me I advised our reservation which we were about 15 min early for, as we drove an hour to get there and did not want to be late. The restaurant was empty and she said I'll see if I can get you seated early. We sat and patiently waited then 2 parties came after us with the same reservation time and seated immediately. McKenna was extremely unprofessional, she should not be the front of such a nice establishment. The food and waiter were exceptional! We had the steak tartare, filet mignon, short ribs and wagyu burger. We all loved our dishes. I ordered the espresso which was very sour but everything else was delicious! Overall we had a great time. It was just unfortunate to start my brother's birthday by feeling dismissed to the point of wanting to leave. read more

Sadly I am pretty disappointed. Went here with really high hopes for our celebratory dinner and the food was not good... Waiter was great. The porkchop was so tough after chewing for over a minute had to give up on the bite. Overcooked and tough. Outside was pretty blackened and burned Drinks from the bar were pretty slow as well. Whole life only sent back to the kitchen maybe 2-3 times but honestly it was awful. Was hoping to try the tasting menu only to find out it wasn't available when we got there... Atmosphere was pretty bad as well. A super loud group was at the bar and they just let them go and said nothing to quiet them down. Reserved a table a month in advance only to get sat right next to the door and got hit with a cold breeze every couple seconds. Drove all the way from Downtown for this and it was definitely not worth it. Overpriced and not disappointed by the food quality. read more

The three of us had the tasting menu on December 30, 2025. It was beyond delicious- the small servings were perfect given there were so many of them. I cannot recommend the tasting menu enough.

Although we enjoy the Kitchen, Hawks tasting menu was, in my opinion, a bit better dining and tasting experience. read more

We have gone to Hawks for the last time. The medium rare steak was dry and brown throughout. My wife's seafood was heavily salted. The wait staff was unsupportive.

Hawks is on the Michelin Guide. It is located at the Quarry Ponds Town Center, so there is plenty of parking. If you don't have reservations, you can try your luck at the bar. It was a bit noisy inside, but we were seated behind the bar. I was looking forward to trying the taro mocktail, but was told they no longer have that drink. I ended up with a cocktail instead. They have an extensive drink menu, but they are quite pricy. We were given bread and butter. I wish the butter was softer so that it would've been easier to spread. Then we were given a complimentary amuse-bouche. It was a shot of yummy mushroom soup. For my first course, I had the tombo tuna aguachile. It had a nice heat to it from the liquid. I also liked the cute mini fried tortilla that added a crunchy texture to the dish. I tried my bf's white dog farms beet salad. The beets were great and I enjoyed the roasted cashew butter it came with. I had the lobster and burrata girelle (lasagna roll) for my entree. It was beautifully plated and there was a good amount of lobster. We were too full for dessert, but were given pate de fruits and chocolate bon bons to help us celebrate our anniversary. The pate de fruits were too tart for me, but I loved the bananas foster bon bon. I want to know where I can find more! It was a sweet end to the meal. read more
