“We showed up 15 min. early for our reservation and was seated right away. Water and bread was brought immediately. Our server, Eric was pleasant and was on his game. We ordered the crab cakes which were just ok. The entrees were next and were taking a very long time, but the rack of lamb and beef wellington was ordered which was taking a while which meant it was fresh. The lamb was tender and good. Beef wellington was tender and cooked to order. The lamb was ordered with the au grarin potatoes, however came out with petite whole potatoes. Eric noticed and very attentively brought the correct potatoes. The broccolini was tasty and the carrots were cooked perfectly. We ordered dessert which consisted of creme brulee and the apple caramel bread pudding. Both were very good. We have been to a few pretty bad places in recent months and agreed that we would return based on the experience and food we received.“
“My third or fourth visit to Hawks. I've never been disappointed, and tonight was a memorable experience. Party of four for early dinner. The mushroom soup amuse bouche was wonderful. White Fog Farm lettuce salad was (reportedly) excellent. The Caesar salad was tasty but the creamy dressing revealed it as an imitation Caesar (in my opinion); the saving grace was the white anchovy on top. (I am a Caesar salad purist and I am frequently unimpressed; woe is me.). Entrées: Duck--excellent! Short ribs--excellent! Steelhead--excellent! Lamb loin--excellent and more! Wine: Fair--a Tuscan red, good but overpriced for the quality. Dessert: We have had the "beignets" before--these are tasty enough but they are NOT in any sense beignets--just sugary doughnut holes with caramel sauce on the side. What they called an entremet might, in a pinch, be considered a "deconstructed" entremet--but an entremet it was not. The parts were, however, very good, if little more than a small mound of fond chocolate with cocoa nibs and a bit of white filling. We were very pleased with the unexpected serving of two extra dessert items, quartets of little chocolate dollops on shortbread and Sangria-infused gel cubes--very playful and delightful. Decent late-bottled vintage port and good tea and coffee. The service was spot on--absolutely top-notch. We were VERY pleased with service and atmosphere. Despite the scattered culinary contradictions, I say : Go to Hawks--time well spent.“

“Pretty busy on St. Patrick's Day. The service was quick and good. Martina was very friendly. I had the chicken fried steak and it was made fresh. The steak was a bit too chewy but it was flavorful. My wife had the biscuits and gravy with two sausages and scrambled eggs. The sausages were excellent and the biscuits were moist.“
