What People Are Saying About Falcon

Featured Review

The Scene – The stunning Dodd Mitchell-designed space teems with striking blondes in stiletto heels and boyish men wearing shaggy haircuts and the latest trends. The huge polished-concrete patio with outdoor bar and fireplace provides posing opportunities, while the dining room and lounge amp up the glamour with dark wood, pillows and faux fur. – – The Food – Gourmet comfort fare is the result of combining fresh market ingredients with Cal-Euro accents. The roasted beet salad with aged goat cheese, or poached pears with endive and blue cheese, get the flavor combos…

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
There's no sign, so look out for the valet stand across the street from the Saharan Motel.
Where to Sit:
The black slatted chairs may be beautiful, but they're desperately uncomfortable. Avoid them if you can.
The Extras:
The Maltese, a fresh fruit cocktail martini, changes nightly, but is usually vodka-based and starts at $8.

Beyond Horrible

by ikorosec

This place used to be one of my favorite places and therefore I have chosen it a few years ago as THE place to host my annual clients appreciation party. As a Los Angeles realtor I love to reward my past clients for trusting me during their home purchase/sale/lease and bond with any potential/future clients. Tonight at Falcon's was a disaster. Their oven didn't work, so all the food came with an hour delay from who knows where. After we ran out of the delivered food there was no way to put anything else on the table. My guests were asking me where is the food and I couldn't find the words to properly apologize for this horrible service. My real estate partner and I had over 70 guests and all of us needed to walk to the upstairs bar for every drink although there is a bar downstairs, which this restaurant couldn't (or didn't want to) open as they weren't able to find another bartender. At the upper bar there was most of the time only one bartender who tried to do his best, but unfortunately that wasn't enough. I have waited with each guest of mine an extensive period of time to get them a drink instead of spending that time entertaining my guests. All prior years we had valet parking, but this year nobody decided to bother with that, which caused quite a bit of our guests to walk to the party annoyed after driving around the neighborhood looking for a parking. I will never ever again put a foot into this horrible place that calls themselves a restaurant (without a working stove or oven to make any food). If you value your guests, don't ever consider bringing them to Falcon on Sunset.

Once upon a time

Falcon is more popular as a club / lounge than for its restaurant services. Way past its prime, they definitely need some refurbishment and a new name.

New clubs opens in Hollywood all the time. To find the best option for you, check out my website - www-evitaparties-com. eVita Parties provides Hollywood Guest List to Hollywood Clubs & Los Angeles Events.

by spenc36

Let me start of by saying we went there for dinner and some old chick by the name of shirley levi was performing, anyways she sucked and so did everything else there, that girl does not know how to sing ... the bouncer some skinny old white dude they really need to fire him! He is dirty and rude looks like he never cleans himself!, the food was horiffic and expensive, no taste and the service charge was outragious, i would rather eat at jack in the box then there, they seriously need to fire the bounce, have better live shows there not artist that lipsync! and change management!
