About this business
Imagine a sea of enormous, luminous, purple jellyfish magically floating above an elegantly dressed crowd of martini-sipping elite, and you will be in Farallon. People stand elbow-to-elbow in the bar at this Union Square destination, sipping on their pricey cocktails. The food, such as sea urchin gratin and black-truffled Dungeness crab, is delicious, beautiful and expensive. Overall, Farallon provides a whimsical, aquatic dining experience with service as exquisite as the glass sculptures that populate the ceiling.

Under the Sea... – Popped into Farallon for a Thursday lunch and the DineAboutTown special. Decor is the big draw here, the Lost World of Atlantis motif gets you ready for some seafood. My friend had the whitebean mint pesto soup which she gave high praise and the grilled mahi. I had a small dungeness crabcake and rainbow trout complete with head and tail. Food was above average, portions on the average to small size. Service was excellent, staff is very well trained and prompt without being intrusive. Overall a good spot to... read more
Yum I don't know which is better, Farallon's food or its out-of-this world decor. Great seafood prepared in both traditional and inventive ways. It was named one of the country's best new restaurants in 1997 when it opened. The crazy yet elegant underwater decorating theme was featured on Home & Garden TV. I love the booths that look like they're right out of "The Little Mermaid." Great place to eat before seeing a show at the Post Theater next door.
Poor Experience – I had guests from out of town and had heard that this was a nice restaurant. I was extremely disappointed! The service was about as bad as I have ever seen. The food was average, but my guests were treated poorly. I had reservations, arrived on time, but had to wait a long time. Some of my guests were older and had difficulties with the wait.
Dont waste your time and money! – For a restaurant of this caliber to server the main entree 45mins after it had server the starter dish is not acceptable! Other than our order being delay, they substitute the side dish from what was shown on the menu. Go figure! what ever happen to notifing the customer? The chef and staff has serious issues that they need to address. Otherwise this establishment is over rated.
Extragavant and high class seafood restaurant with an amazing Atlantis-like decor. The food is delicious. Makes for a great romantic night out or a fancy dinner with your vacationing friends.
Love This Place – Being an interior designer this place is 'eye candy' for me. The food is always impeccable in taste and presentation. The wait staff is very knowledgeable and pleasant. I love this place!
It was OK (both visits). – This was my second visit to Farallon in six months. I can't be objective since I don't like seafood. I had some type of beef on my first visit (it was OK) and the pork chop on my second visit (it was great - the sauce was superb! and it wasn't overcooked). My companion on the first visit thought his seafood was good (but not great) and my companion on the second visit thought her seafood was "wonderful." Dessert on the first visit wasn't memorable; we passed on dessert the second visit. Service on ... read more
Disappointing – If you are looking for a romantic dinner, Farallon is not the place. Though the place is beautiful, we could barely hear each other across the table! Not quite the close, romantic dining I had hoped for. The food was extremely overpriced, and the menu was far too limited. The oysters were good, the appetizers were average, the entrée was sub-par, the service was friendly, but a bit slow. The desserts were great. For the price, I would have hoped for a much higher quality and taste. My entire meal tasted like ... read more
Superb! – My wife and I have been here a total of 4 times now since we moved in November of 2002. On all occassions we have had fantastic food and service - not to mention one of the most elegant settings we've seen. We would recommend this to anyone interested in a romantic night out!
