★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1We visited Third Falcons as part of a Tasting Collective dinner. I was really excited when I saw that this had been selected as I had been wanting to try this restaurant for a little while. The premise of the Tasting Collective is that you try both existing menu staples and dishes that are in development. We arrived promptly and the space was lovely, albeit very small. They have a great wine menu and we decided to order the bottle of tavel and waited for our food to be served!The first dish was the oysters, which unfortunately I found the flavour of the oyster itself overwhelmed by the granita. We then moved on to the shrimp, which was DELICIOUS! Unfortunately though the plating was uneven and we ended up with one large shrimp and one absolutely tiny shrimp (and we could see everyone else dining around us had 2 large shrimp). The third dish was the white asparagus dish and I would have loved it if they served it with some of their fresh brioche that the chef spoke about. The next dish, Le Meunière, was probably the biggest disappointment of the night (and also the signature dish of the restaurant). The flavour of the dish was delicious but the way the dish was served was just disappointing, it would have been much better if the dish was served family style (as a whole fish) as opposed to a small portion of individual skate. The final dish was the sticky toffee pudding, which was my standout dish of the evening. Everything about this was just so tasty (I could eat a bowl of that salted calvados sauce), a 10/10 dish.All in all I would give our dining experience for that evening a 3.5/5 but understand that this wasn’t their usual menu or dining service. There was a lot of great potential there though and we both agreed that we would revisit to try their standard menu.
May 23 · Helen SAfter having dinner down the block, we happened upon the third falcon and thought it looked really nice so I booked it for my mother's birthday.Congratulations for getting the accolade of being 100 best new York restaurants this week!Excellent service. Our server was very gracious and informative. She suggested a pear cider.We really liked some of the dishes. The brioche was outstanding! And the butter! I wanted to curl up inside of it and stay there forever.The wild leek tart was very nice although the crust seemed a little tough to cut with the butter knife.Carrots were good!The red snapper and chicken were very well done.I loved the brown butter hollandaise on the scallops although I thought it was a little strange to bury beautifully seared scallops only because it remoistens the top of the scallop. Still, it was a delicious dish.I thought that the crepes souffle was an interesting idea but it didn't actually work because the crepe shell weighs down the souffle filling and it seems more gooey than light. Great morels and sauce.I didn't see or taste the peppers on the tuna crudo although I did like contrast and flavor of the pickled melon.Loved the crackers with the cheese and chanterelles!The salad was beautiful and I loved the different textures from the buckwheat and the lentils sesame seeds. I love a busy salad! I thought that the dressing was unevenly distributed. Parts of the salad were bland and other parts of the salad were overly acidic. I was a little baffled by the white asparagus confit. I couldn't really tell what it was. But that can be kind of interesting.I didn't like the panna cotta filled donut peach dessert which is weird because it's two of my favorite things. It sounded like a good idea, but It looked sad when it hit the table. I don't know if the panna cotta filing breaks down a bit in the face of the moist peach, but it wasn't very nice and the peach just didn't have any dazzle at all.Also, the banquette seat are incredibly uncomfortable. I may be hyper aware of these things because I've been chair shopping recently but the flat hard wood is no good when you're trying to enjoy a lovely meal.
June 06 · Jackie Gordon Singing ChefI don't write reviews often, but I was so blown away by my meal at Third Falcon last night I had to write something. I went with my cousin to celebrate my birthday and, wow, we were not disappointed. Every part of the experience was exceptional. The food, the service, the ambiance- all 10s.We split six dishes and each one was stunning. The standouts for us were the "Instead of Olives" dish, which was two variations on eggplant, and the gnocchi. The "olives" in particular were so unexpected and incredible. I would order them again and again. Our main waiter was very nice and attentive, and several other members of the wait staff checked in at various points to see how we were doing.This was easily the best meal I've had in ages. And I'll have to go back soon to try the leek tart which I've been told is a standout! (They were sold out when we ordered) Thank you, Third Falcon for an incredible meal and a memorable birthday.
September 12 · James GoldMy experience with Third Falcon was truly eye-opening. Given the fact I have dined at countless French restaurants in NYC, Nash and other states, I thought" Okay, this place must make great food". But that wasn't the case. The price doesn't match the quality or the portions. If I wanted fish as an appetizer, sure, however, that serving doesn't come even close to what is deemed the main course. Don't get me started with the lettuce... Total bill: $200 which included a bottle of wine, two apps, a head of lettuce they like to call salad, lamb and my dish, a portion you would call appetizer, not a main dish... for $29! Disappointing!
June 01 · Ria Sc.Decent meal at this new spot in Fort Greene!The standout dish was by far the caramelized onion tart. This should be a must-order. The leeks in the gnocchi dish were also a treat.Great service from start to finish and we liked the wines on the menu.
