Book NowAbout Hanks
Hanks pairs Kirra beachfront sunsets with generous shared feasts and an easygoing coastal pulse. Settle in outdoors with warm Tuscan schiacciata bread and smoked mortadella, or anchor a group table inside for the multi-course banquet. Kitchen hands handle gluten-free requests without a pause—most plates adapt effortlessly, from seared snapper and fresh pasta to charred wagyu steak beside heirloom tomatoes. The drinks list is equally dialed in, pouring chilled montepulciano alongside zero-proof margaritas.
- Celebration-Ready Banquets: Curated banquet courses with generous portions, dedicated private dining, and attentive pacing for milestone lunches.
- Gluten-Free Flexibility: Most of the Italian-leaning menu is gluten-free or easily tailored for shared dining without compromise.
- Zero-Proof Cocktails: Thoughtful beverage program featuring chilled wines and custom zero-proof options like specialty mocktail margaritas.
