My husband and I stopped into Falconer's for a midday lunch‑early‑dinner situation. The teens were home, so we took full advantage of the free time and treated ourselves to an adult meal with adult company. The place had plenty of open seating, and the vibe was calm and lofi, which matched our mood perfectly. Our waitress was very friendly, and another gentleman working the floor checked in on guests as well. Between the two of them, we had attentive service and genuinely good conversation while waiting for our food. It had been a long day, so we ordered a couple of appetizers and drinks to start. We tried to get oysters, but they were out. A little disappointing, but the other appetizers absolutely made up for it. Delicioso. When our main courses arrived, my husband's steak was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. No A1 needed. My salmon was moist, flavorful, and paired really well with the rice and veggies on the side. Everything tasted fresh and well‑prepared. Overall, we had a great meal in an environment that catered to good energy, good conversation, and good food. We'll definitely be back. read more

We recently had dinner at Royal Falconer British Pub in Redlands, and it was one of those nights that reminded us why we love supporting local restaurants. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. It didn't feel like just another restaurant, it felt like you were walking into a place where people genuinely enjoy being there. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from start to finish. The food was excellent. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. Whether you're looking for a nice date night, dinner with friends, or a family meal, this is a great spot. One of my favorite parts of the evening was that there wasn't any pressure to rush us out. We were able to enjoy good food, good conversation, and just relax. It's becoming harder to find restaurants that still make dining feel like an experience rather than a transaction. Downtown Redlands already has a great vibe, and The Falconer fits right in. We'll definitely be back and look forward to trying more of the menu. Highly recommend! read more

We had a very pleasant birthday dinner here and overall I would absolutely come back. I ordered the pan fried sand dabs. The fish itself was excellent -- delicate, nicely cooked, and the capers paired well with it. The broccolini was especially good and the carrot was perfectly done, which honestly says a lot about a kitchen's attention to detail. My only criticism was the sauce. It was heavier and blander than I expected for this type of dish, and I ended up asking for pepper to give it a little more life. A lighter, brighter beurre blanc would have elevated the entrée considerably. That said, the service was outstanding. The restaurant was about half full, so our waiter had time to actually engage with us and struck up a fun conversation about the Michael Jackson biopic. Attentive without hovering, which is a rare balance. Overall: very good experience, strong service, well-cooked food, and just one component that could use refinement. Solid 4 stars. read more

My friend Kathy lives in Redlands and so I was excited to go on Yelp to look for a restaurant in her town. My first time in Redlands California about 30 minutes from Rancho Cucamonga. I loved the name and the reviews and the Falconer of Redlands was even better than advertised. Food - 5 stars - the fried calamari was stupendous. Fried just right and good pieces of the squid seasoned perfectly. Good sauce and lots of lemons requested. The Ahi Tuna over the salad was a really nice sized portion with delicious fish and a healthy green mix including edamame. Kathy loved her Sea Bass. The fun menu also features a nice selection of steaks and some cool and familiar British pub grub. We did not drink any alcohol and our fun waitress Yvonne kept checking up on us for my frequent requests for extra balsamic and lemons and soda refills. The top notch service was great and we were not rushed. We sat downstairs in a nice area by the bar. It was not too loud. The entire staff seemed really chill. Heard some music playing upstairs and saw some customers going up as well.Apparently there is a piano on that floor and they do have Karaoke. Definitely next time. The restaurant/bar is on a Main Street so I had to drive a bit to find free street parking 2 blocks up but it was a fun walk checking out the local mom and pop shops and nice bars with patios. The Falconer was a really nice time. read more

First time back since the changeover. They did a nice job with the remodel. Kept a lot of the old pub vibe, which I'm glad about. We've got a lot of memories there--drinking with buddies--and it still feels familiar. Just two of us for lunch. We had the salmon and the fish & chips. Salmon was cooked right. Not dry at all. That lemon pepper seasoning (or whatever they're using) worked really well with the fish. Simple, but it hit. I had the fish & chips. Fish was hand-dipped and fried, came out super crispy. Fries... yeah, those are bulk frozen. Still fine, just calling it what it is. Service was very good. Attentive, friendly, no issues. Place was super clean too--and I gotta say, I don't smell the urinals anymore and Paul's not verbally abusing the patrons. I also appreciated the lighter, less expensive lunch menu. Nice option when you're not trying to go full send on dinner. It was pretty empty for a Friday at 1pm, which surprised me a bit. Overall, solid lunch. Good to see the place kept its old soul while cleaning things up. read more

We had a lovely experience here! Loved the grilled artichokes- cooked delicious and our two year old wanted more too! The chips and guac were yummy and a pretty good old fashioned. We liked the tuna app as well however wish they served a little more chips with it. We just went for drinks and some apps. Service was fast and friendly, comfortable seating. The real highlight and reason I'll be back is the clam chowder- sooooooooo good! I think they should serve the won tons they serve with the tuna app- with the clam chowder and that would make this place stand out even more as a top restaurant in Redlands! Overall it was great read more

Formerly the Royal Falconer I am so happy they decided to switch things up and rebrand this amazing restaurant. Our server Lisa was beyond extraordinary and very helpful in our selections and history about the restaurant. I am so glad this restaurant is more family friendly. We visited and reserved a table during their newest magician at the table event. He was absolutely amazing and made my mother-in-law giggle like a schoolgirl. this is an extremely wonderful event that they I hope they bring back weekly as it will draw in customers and was an absolute delight. My husband ordered the old-fashioned note that they also do their ice cubes with an embossed large ice cube which some of the other restaurants do not we love the large ice cubes and the embossment is a nice touch. My mother-in-law and husband shared the burger, which was ample enough for both of them and delicious and I had the calamari which was more than enough for me as a meal. The calamari was well breaded and the cocktail sauce was perfect. We ended up trying both the orange crème brûlée and the lava cake. Both were delicious! We will definitely be here again. The whole staff was just wonderful. read more

I had been to the old Falconer one over 10 years ago. When the owners bought Falconer they made some changes which I liked. I went to dinner here a month ago and my 8 friends and I loved our food. Last night my husband, sister and brother-in-law went and sat upstairs in the piano bar. It was quaint and loved having the music. Well all thought out meals were one of the best we've ever had. The service was amazing. We will definitely be back again. For the quality of the food , we thought it was reasonably priced. read more

Tried the new Falconer (August 30, 2025). What an upgrade!! Place still has the British pub look but more upscale and nice high top and bench table seating. SERVICE: Top notch! Very friendly when you enter. They got us seated immediately and were super nice. Our server was very personable and attentive and helped us pick out some great drinks!! FOOD: We started with the grilled artichokes and crispy rice paper shrimp appetizers (very yummy). For dinner we all chose seafood and were very happy with our selections. Salmon and the shrimp scampi pasta we would all recommend! And, their bartender makes some solid cocktails - their cucumber gimlets were spectacular!! We were too full to try dessert - next time ;) If you haven't tried the new Falconer - Go try them today!! read more

The Falconer was such an amazing find. Right away the vibes were perfect. It wasn't crowded, it felt historic, and music...if you love old jazz standards, prepare to be in your element. The food was excellent but the service was even better. Had the burger and the fish and chips and can't complain about a single thing about either one. Enjoy! read more

Made reservations for a night out with friends. Love the new renovations, much more restaurant vibe than a pub. The old pub style was awesome, don't get me wrong and the new style is much more family friendly and date night vibes. Really enjoyed the drinks and dinner. Great prices and friendly staff. Will definitely be returning! read more

(Not to be confused with The Royal Falconer) Falconer of Redlands represents an impressive transformation of the familiar downtown location. Under new ownership, the establishment has moved away from traditional pub and finger foods, introducing a refined menu centered on quality steaks and seafood. During my visit, I ordered the blackened salmon accompanied by mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables, while my children enjoyed the shrimp scampi. Each dish was well-prepared, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and professional throughout the evening. The restaurant retains the same warm and inviting interior that many locals remember, but with a refreshed and elegant atmosphere. Watching the sunset through the open windows added to the charm and comfort of the dining experience. Falconer of Redlands is a welcome addition to the local dining scene -- a sophisticated yet relaxed setting perfect for both family dinners and special occasions. I ate my food too fast. Sorry no pictures. read more

Food was good enough but the utensils were dirty and found a sharp metal strip in the Cocktail sauce, it could cut our mouth.

Love the new look! Modern, lux and still very comfortable! Food is absolutely delicious. Our 2nd time here since the reopening and we have added this to our go to list. Happy hour is such a bargain considering the quality and portion sizes you get. The fish and chips are my favorite out of all the places in Redlands. The surf and turf kabobs, chips and guacamole and shrimp tacos all amazing. Lisa our server at the bar was gracious, knowledgeable and attentive. Can't wait to try their taco Tuesday and wine Wednesday dinner next. Great addition to our list of favorites. read more

Really impressed! Between the happy hour menu and wine Wed menu! Manager Kevin was hustling! Bradley was a great server! Cruz was an amazing cook. It's like Tartan 2.0 with Seafood and better prices! I sincerely hope the quality and happy hour menu doesn't go away. Happy hour menu has $15 bottles of Wine and unbelievable food prices. The ambiance is totally different then prior ownership. (The carpet on the stairs is the only thing that keeps the old falconer vibe but kinda throws off the new look, but who cares. There was no background music. I think a solo artist tucked in a corner somewhere would be a nice touch in the future.) Thank you Salamon Family for everything you have continued to do to improve this city while maintaining its legacy. Can't wait to return! read more

Multiple visits: same experience soooo my update...consistently amazing! The ambiance is prefect for a solo lunch, lunch date, business lunch or dinner alike.

Staff is lovely, extremely attentive and appropriately polite. The menu offers something for everyone and the portions are well balanced. The consistency is on point and their adult beverages menu and drinks are creatively curated and intentionally crafted with precision, garnishment and options are top shelf and delicious!

Fish and chips was horrible and doughy. Kale Caesar at $17 was an afterthought. Steak was un-salted and arrived overcooked and dry. Nothing was deducted from our bill nor was there an apology when we mentioned the food was pretty gross.

This is a "Must Try Location" then you will be hooked! We decided to try out the fish and chips with the new owners. What a pleasant surprise for us on a Wednesday afternoon. First the menu selections make it hard to make a decision. Everything looks enticing and fresh. Coleslaw yum, fries crispy and fried to perfection. What really stood out as a noticeable change was the attentive staff and the helping hands of the manager on board. We will be back for fresh oysters, sea bass and the desserts for sure So happy for you DTR. read more

I wanted to try the Falconer after it was recommend by a few people, and was excited to eat the delicious food that they described. Here is how things went: The calamari was super crispy and was the highlight of the lunch. It needed salt though. There was no salt and pepper on the table, so a little sprinkle was not an option. I am going to come off sounding like I am overreacting about the lobster roll, but if you charge $20 for something that is very iconic, it better be at least passable. The lobster roll was inedible! Do not order it! I do not know what seasoning combination they are using, but it was difficult (Yes, this is the true word to describe these flavors.) and overpowered the lobster flavor! The lobster was chopped up so tiny it looked like cat food, and there was no white sweet meat of lobster in it. Only red tips of claws. Unlike the calamari, it was incredibly salty! I was so disappointed when it was brought to the table that I instantly wanted to send it back. Based on another review, I don't think it would have mattered if I complained about it. The accompanying melted butter did not improve things. In fact, it didn't make sense being on the plate. There are two main types of lobster rolls, and this was not the one you put extra melted butter on. The cherry on top, the usually great split top bun was stale and difficult to chew. I can drink tap water, but the water brought to the table was foul. It was so heavily chlorinated and also had an essence of toilet tab (some sort of cleaner). The iced tea was the worst iced tea I have ever had. Truly! My companions coke was flat and tasted off. To top it off, the beloved fish and chips disappointed. The fish pieces were more like fish nuggets. The fish also fell out of the batter coating. Was the coleslaw homemade? Hard to tell, but also not good! Was it an off Friday afternoon? Is this how it always is? The one waitress, who was working the entire room and upstairs, was very nice, but even her sweet disposition cannot make up for the . . . yes, I will say it again . . . the hideous lobster roll!!! A man at another table ordered the surf and turf skewers and seemed to like them. I would recommend that based on how happy he seemed. Maybe they excel at cocktails. Try one of those. read more
