This is a place you will want to make reservations in advance. Very popular and overheard the Hostess telling people "it will be 1 1/2 hrs before we can seat you" - and this was on a Thursday at 6 pm.
Steaks are dry aged a minimum of 20 days and are cooked to perfection. Several nightly specials are offered in addition to the regular menu. Potato sides that are offered are baked, garlic mashed, and cheddar mashed. All are very tasty.
They also offer several "seafood" dishes - lobster, shrimp, oysters, and fish.
The wait staff was very attentive and made sure you were happy with your meal.

This is a review on Happy Hour at Hawks. We come here for HH to enjoy the small plates and wines. Fresh Pea, Burchetta with Ricotta Cheese, Tempura Asparagus; Caesar Salad and sharing the burger & fries all made for a very enjoyable dinner at Hawks during Happy Hour on a recent visit. Wines by the glass at $ 6 are reasonable but there is limited selection during HH. I would go for the red blend if you are into reds. There is an extensive wine list too if you want to try something else. With about 6-8 seats at the bar and 4-5 small tables- this is a small area - so you will need to come early if you want to sit. Overall experience and service was excellent. IWish there were more restaurants of this quality in the Roseville area!
Dinner Review. Hawks is a nice dinning establishment in Granite Bay with high quality service and attention to detail. Recently celebrated my wife's B-day here. We tried the Hamachi appetizer, Caesar Salad, Slow roasted short ribs, and Halibut. Nice citrus sauce worked well with the Hamachi - although the portion was too small to share. Caesar salad was great, fresh with a touch of anchovy in the creamy cheese dressing- very fresh salad. The Halibut was well prepared - but a small portion for the price. The short rib was a large portion pulled form the bone and pressed together in a generation serving. The flavor was rich - but a little too oily for my taste. Very nice, pleasant dinner experience with serval good wines available by the glass. I wish there were more fish and pasta selections, and a good duck dish on the menu would bring me back .

Best coffee in town. I don't eat a lot of sweets, but if I do...it's Karen's. Great selection. Special occasion cakes - all amazing! And breakfast and lunch to die for. Every dish is my new fav! Hard to choose. I love the poblano chicken sandwich. Their deli case salad trio changes by season. Karen's is really my favorite spot in Folsom.

This is a restaurant I frequented when I lived nearby in 1994. It was a dive with excellent breakfasts, nice service, friendly people. We went for breakfast almost every week for several years. This New Years morning we were looking for a breakfast before a movie and discovered that this was still open. We went!! It is a hopping place, still understated, still excellent food and very helpful staff. I would go every weekend again if I didn’t live 45 minutes away. Strongly recommend for breakfast.

Casual country Italian comfort food/great wine list and wonderful wine prices
Reviewed By Greg H - Sacramento, California
Stopped in for dinner with a business client. Happy with the selection of appetizers, wines, and entrees. Everything was very good. The service was good. The only thing missing was ambience and emotion. I had hoped the restaurant would be darker and more intimate than it was. Overall a good experience.
8. Chicago Fire
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 225 reviews
Chicago Fire was born of my desire to enjoy the flavors and textures unique to Chicago Pizza and share them with others. Our menu is strongly influenced by Chicago’s history and culture. Firstly, many of Chicago’s tastiest foods were created by Greek and Italian immigrants. Secondly, Chicago was once known as the pork capital of the world. Most of our sandwiches and pizzas have over a half pound of meat, staying true to portions one would expect in The Windy City. Lastly, we offer numerous “Fiery” foods such as Extra Hot Wings, The Great Chicago Fire Pizza, Spicy Italian Sausage, and of course our signature Hot Italian Beef. Enjoy!

The pizza is very good - thin crust is much faster from the kitchen here, so that's what we ordered. My Greek pizza was excellent, and mom enjoyed her Combo.
This isn't quick pizza ... I prefer deep dish, the menus indicated 30 minutes, and we waited half that for thin crust. Still, worth the wait. As well, there is a by the slice option which is likely faster.
Service was cheerful with nice touches like a tub of tsiki sauce for my takeaway box to go with my pizza.

So I have been trying to think of reasons why NOT to give this restaurant five stars, and I really cannot think of one! I went to a birthday celebration not knowing the town or the area at all, and was very pleased to find this contemporary, welcoming and super clean and sleek restaurant not far from the freeway in El Dorado Hills. Parking was easy, and the food was exquisite! We had an array of appetizers throughout the afternoon, and the large table was always full of hot, delicious, tempting and beautifully displayed food. The servers were friendly and helpful. There is a private glassed-in room that looked quite intriguing. I will definitely go back and highly recommend Sienna Restaurant.
10. Dominick's Italian Market-Deli
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By porsche74s - Granite Bay, California
We live in the area so we go to Dominick's quite often. The bar area, although very small, is a lively spot where locals hang out waiting for a table. It's a noisy room when it's full, always busy especially on weekends. The food is consistently very good, our favorites are the lasagna or sometimes the spaghetti & meatballs. The deli under the same ownership is next door, they make good sandwiches and salads. Worth a special trip just for the warm atmosphere, although some might not like the closeness of the tables in a relatively small room.
