Hawk’s Provisions + Public House is all about good food enjoyed in a comfortable setting. Fagnoni and his team are passionate about providing people with excellent food whether they are on their lunch break from the hospital or celebrating a special event. The gastro-pub style restaurant doesn’t cling to any one type of cuisine, but rather gathers menu inspiration from local produce and kitchen talk.

Sacramento often measures the vibrancy of its restaurant scene in relation to San Francisco and Napa Valley – and by how much time Sacramento chefs or sommeliers spent in those culinary hubs before arriving here.

Yet the strongest recent indicator of Sacramento’s relevance comes not from either of those places, but from Placer County, in acclaimed Granite Bay fine-dining restaurant Hawks’ expansion into Sacramento with the 3-month-old Hawks Public House.

Hawks executive chef and co-owner Michael Fagnoni said he and his wife, fellow chef Molly Hawks, opened the gastropub and Hawks Provisions, the to-go breakfast and lunch spot that sits beside it on Alhambra Boulevard, partly to be closer to the action.

Come join us for Easter Brunch on Sunday, March 27th!  Chef Justin Green and Chris Lee created the menu below and we are now accepting reservations for parties of all sizes.   Choose 2 courses for $26 or 3 courses for $32. To make a reservation, please call 916-588-4440 and press 2 for Public House.

Memorably Hazy:

Sometimes the best meals are the most difficult ones to remember. Chalk it up to one too many glasses of wine, the delirium of a good space filled by friends or just a dreamlike state caused by a truly excellent twirl of pasta. Regardless, Hawks Provisions and Public House hits that sweet spot where the only thing you may recall is the feeling of being happy.

This is the highest praise I can heave at the darling eatery.

Brunch fans have another place to check out soon: Hawks Provisions & Public House.

The Sacramento casual outpost of the Granite Bay fine dining destination, Hawks Public House (1525 Alhambra Boulevard) will start brunch service on Sunday, February 7. The menu is pretty compact—seven small plates and seven mains to choose from—with a European bent.

Main dishes include patatas bravas with a poached egg and braised short rib ($16), smoked salmon bruschetta with herbed cream cheese ($16) and poached eggs over polenta, pork ragu and provolone ($15). Vegetarians have decidedly fewer options, but could opt for pastries or housemade granola with berries and almond milk ($5). Hawks will also offer some lunch favorites, like the burger ($18) and country pate ($7).
