Since Hawks took flight in 2007, the fine-dining restaurant’s exotic array of house-made pâtés, terrines and salame has drawn a flock of visitors to Granite Bay, including local chefs like South’s Ian Kavookjian and Mikuni’s Taro Arai. The plate will always vary, but diners can expect it to be adorned with morsels of culinary artistry like bacon-wrapped liverwurst made with duck liver, pork shoulder, white wine and onions; paper-thin slices of zesty fennel-and-black-pepper salami; or rich, creamy duck liver mousse. Served with garlicky toasted bread, tangy pickles and tart mustards, the result is a carnivorous carnival of tastes and textures.

Hawks can be almost intimidatingly formal (how many places kept doing a $120 tasting menu into last October?) but there’s no denying chefs, owners and partners Molly Hawks and Mike Fagnoni’s training and selection of their staff. Granite Bay’s ritziest restaurant does traditional French/Italian fine dining exceptionally well down to the nubs; we scraped up every bit of the mashed potatoes soaked in red wine jus under the short ribs entree. Duck seems to persist through seasonal menu changes, appearing on housemade charcuterie boards and as a perfectly crispy confit.

Fans of upscale Hawks in Granite Bay were in for a shock when owners Molly Hawks and Michael Fagnoni opened this midtown Sacramento outpost. It’s a casual counterpoint to the original Hawks, serving house-made pastas, charcuterie boards and shareable snacks like potato chips with French onion dip. But the rustic, Mediterranean-style food here is as thoughtfully made and packed with flavor as at the mother ship.

Molly Hawks, chef and owner of Hawks Restaurant, originally pursued a career in the medical field. After majoring in biology at UCLA and planning for a med school education, she took a turn and decided to enroll in cooking school instead — and we’re so grateful she did. Hawks opened up the restaurant with her husband Michael Fagnoni in 2007, incorporating an ingredient-driven philosophy into her cuisine.

Hawks Public House is pretty much the best place to go for brunch in the city. The menu has less than a dozen items, yet offers something for everyone, including a fancy twist on the Egg McMuffin and breakfast pasta (bucatini carbonara, Spanish chorizo, and a four-minute egg). Their brunch cocktails are worth a look, including a martini made with Earl Grey gin and a cold brew old fashioned.

When we first moved to Sacramento I was pregnant with my daughter and I wanted a nice spot to enjoy alcohol-free mocktails.
