About this business

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.

incredible! – Hard to make a dining decision in this city of great food, but this is definitely a top-notch choice. The food and decor are outstanding. Prices are reasonable for what you get. The trio of sashimi appetizer is to die for. Request a romantic table on the second floor--the atmosphere can't be beat.
Here's why I would go back – I took my out of town friend to this place and she love it. The under the water decor/theme is so eye catching and it was done very tastefully, not cheesy. The food was great. We had the mussels, seared foie gras, the sea bass and stuffed quail with foie gras. The Sea Bass was good but it is the mussells, the foie gras and the stuffed quail that really made an impression. The service was great too...our waitess took her time to explain everything on the menu to us, took our coats, make sure we li... read more
Go but avoid the holidays! – I have been a frequent visitor to Farallon and have loved almost everything. The decor is like a Dali dream in Atlantis, the food is dazzling and the staff impeccable. However there is one thing I noticed last week while dining, too many tourists. I think the holidays brings in a lot of yahoos from Union Square who somehow miss Postrio and end up here. I can't blame the restaurant for its clientele but then again I would wait until the offseason to enjoy the splendors of the sea.
Yummie! – I love the food here, and its neat to sit under jelly fish. You must try this place at least once. just wish it was cheaper.
Great!!! – Food was great, decor was great, service was great. The price was what you would expect for this caliber of restaurant.
Super Selection – Great place to absorb atmosphere and enjoy some really great food. The service was excellent. Liz was great! Don't miss dessert. The chocolate crepes were excellent. I was expecting the chocolate to change the texture of the crepe, but they made them perfectly. They were also kind enough to give us a little sample of their pumpkin ice cream. It was very tasty. They have a very nice wine list, but we were somewhat limited in our budget. We did manage to enjoy a very nice French white that did not put the din... read more
Flawless Experience – Wow...what an incredible experience. From the moment we walked into the door, we knew we were in good hands. The sommolier took care of us from beginning to end making not only impeccable wine recommendations but also keeping cost in mind. We started with the heirloom tomato salad and lobster raviolo...both of which were delicious. Raviolo was very rich...excellent flavor and the lobster was moist and succulent...not chewey at all. We had the grouper and branzino for our entrees which were equally as im... read more
What's all the hype about? – I used to pass by Farallon on the weekends and always wanted to try it out. From the outside, the decor looks really grand. But when I actually went there, it wasn't so special. People came in from the streets in shorts and jeans. The food was good but for those prices I was expecting a lot more. I ordered the seabass which was cooked perfectly, but yet the sauce/taste of the dish wasn't spectacular. Overall I was disappointed by the restaurant and will probably not go there again.
Impressive decor and food. – If you would like to have a great dinner with your special someone or just with a couple of friends and you love great seafood and like a lavish environment; then Farallon is the place to go. Service is impecable. The best seafood place I know.
