This is a review for Little Falcon. Everything here is first class. The space. The service. The passion that comes out of the kitchen in every course. Even the plates used. The attention to detail is impressive and notable. Also. The value. Our bill was probably a little more than average because of the impressive, and well thought out, wine list. That's on us. But if you're seeking a first class French-inspired, seasonal , price fix...there's no better value for miles around. We will be back. read more

We went to Third Falcon for Tasting Collective 5-course dinner event in 2025. Inside the restaurant was cozy and although not large, it felt roomy and inviting. We started off with some drinks. I ordered House Spritz. It was a really nice drink to start off the dinner. My hubby went with the Billy the Cid Cider. Full flavor, dry, and crisp. My hubby enjoyed it. The first course was Our Favorite Oysters with Peeko Oyster from Long Island, topped with Sorrel, Cucumber, and Oro Blanco Granita. Fresh and refreshing, they got our tastebuds open and ready for some tasty dishes. The second course was Red Shrimp Kari-Gosse with Breton Curry. It was a bit hard to eat since you have to peel off the shells, we sure got our hands messy. The fragrance of curry was amazing, and the flavor of all the spices were great. Just wish if they provided wet towel with this dish though... The third course was Crepe Soufflé with Morel Mushrooms. The mushrooms were firm and meaty, plump with earthy, nutty flavor. Crepe was egg-y in a good way, soft, light and fluffy like a sponge. So tasty! The fourth course was Le Meunière with Skate, Brown Butter, Lemon, and Brassicas. The exterior of the fish had kind of crispy-ish batter, which I really enjoyed. Marinated Brassicas were super lemony which complimented the fish perfectly. Delicious dish! Last but not least, Buckwheat Sticky Toffee Pudding with Salted Calvados Toffee Sauce, and Whipped Crème Fraîche. It had an interesting texture, I assume with the buckwheat as the main ingredient, it has a distinctive texture. The whole dessert was not really sweet, even though it looks as if it is a very sweet dessert. We enjoyed all the dishes. I am glad we got to experience the new "it" restaurant in Brooklyn. read more

I came here for dinner and had a 9:15 reservation but unfortunately was not seated for 35 minutes after getting there a few minutes early. The host sat us at a bar where they told us it would be a few minutes but half an hour went by and still no seat. They were kind enough to give us drinks on the house. The host ended up leaving before updating us. We sat down close to closing time it still got to order berthing we wanted. The menu is pretty small and seafood forward. I tried both the burger and the roasted chicken. Both of which were pretty good. My favorite was the "instead of olives". These were fried leeks but a small portion for the price. The sticky toffee pudding was another favorite. read more

Make reservations! The seating is very limited, and this place is super popular, so a reservation is a must. Indoor, outdoor, bar. Not suitable for groups. Tables for twos only. Staff were impeccable. Enjoyed genuinely warm and affable interactions. Got some really good recommendations and had open, human conversations, which was a breath of fresh air. Didn't feel any pressure from any one at any point, which was marvelous. Noise level gets high, despite how small the space is. Relaxing, bohemian/classy ambiance. Perfect for a date. Menu changes daily, so I was excited for the food! The portions are small and the prices are high, so this isn't a place if you're starving and just want to fill the belly. This is for satisfying the soul. Fried cheese appetizer could be skipped. Just a piece of soft cheese fried in batter with some tomatoes on the side. The crab toast appetizer was tasty--brioche was sweet and crab was mixed with a refreshingly tart dressing. Not extraordinary, but decent if you like crab meat and brioche. Buckwheat risotto felt like buckwheat couscous. Very simple. A piece of Brie on top. No protein. Not worth $25. Pretty much a glorified side sold as an entree. Skip. Scallops with butter and corn were the highlight of the meal. Perfection! Could eat this daily and never tire. So decadent and indulgent! Butter makes everything better. Definitely get this. You'll want to order seconds, I promise. We licked the plate clean. Top dish. Monkfish entree was tasty but underwhelming. Tiny piece of fish and lots of greenery. Very light. Not filling at all. Tasty, but not as amazing as our waiter made it sound. At 9pm on a Friday we ordered dessert and were told that they just sold the last blackberry jam tart. Wow. How can you run out of pieces of dough that you slather with berry jam and put an ice cream scoop on top? Very disappointing. We got seasonal sorbet--strawberry, melon, basil. Basil was my favorite. All three were very refreshing and not sweet, which I really appreciated. Would get more sorbets here in the future. You could taste the quality. Sticky toffee pudding was so sweet that I didn't mind how tiny it was. All you taste was sweetness. Very simple flavor profile--almost boring. The rush of sugar you get is overwhelming. It is cooked fresh for you, so you'll wait half an hour for it. Adonis drink was a very tasty sherry--we got two and highly enjoyed! Highly recommend. White wine was delicious too. A very extensive wine menu--this is the place to go if you're into wines. Only one bathroom, which makes it problematic if there's a line (and there always is). read more

This is a review for Little Falcon. Everything was perfect. Not a single dish that I did not like. We tried roughly 80% of the menu

We had such a pleasant weeknight dinner. Such a beautiful space, really feels like a chic French café. The service was also very warm, making great recommendations for both wine and food. The wines by the glass were fantastic. The French butter with the brioche was so amazing. We also loved the fresh melon salad. The special burger for the main was wonderful with a delicious French cheese and sauce. Their dessert tart was also très délicieux. Highly recommend! A great addition to the neighborhood. read more

I liked the touches of simple design that show a touch of elegance but under stated Food From oysters, seafood, crepes, cider, and so much more, the food is farm to table with inspiration from chef, Cali, work from 11 Madison, to France, and the North Fork of Long Island.

Wow, what a find! Third Falcon on Myrtle Ave. here in Brooklyn, is a treasure. It's small, it's packed, it's embracing and it makes pretty damn good food. Their bar is on fire; I had one of the best gin martini ever. Our salad was big enough for four people and us two polished it off without a problem. May I add, it was delicious. Now, comes the pièce de résistance: Their out of control, delicious hamburger. This beauty rivaled Red Hook, and I'm not kidding; it was just that good. It comes out of the kitchen 8" high and you wonder how the hell are you going to tackle this behemoth? After sizing this sandwich up, you press it down with your hands and, voila, you are eating this masterpiece. I was so impressed, that I'm not leaving New York without have one more "throw" with this amazing burger. The service was unbelievable, the ambience was quiet cool and the vibe was this youthful energy that becomes addictive. I loved Third Falcon in every way! It completely worked for me. read more

I wanted to like this place more but felt it was overpriced for the quality. Oysters are $4 each but when they came out, most were shucked very sloppily. I ended up getting bits of shell in two of them and the others looked like someone had taken a knive to them. Maybe a new shucker on the line? But for $48 a dozen, I expect better quality. Also, my date and I ordered the "Instead of Olives" which felt very disappointing. $8 for some raw juilenned carrots I believe? This dish should be offered complimentary as an amuse bouche. Seriously, the markup for that dish felt like we were being played. And considering it's the first thing to be delivered to the table... well, not off to a great start. We shared a few other dishes and the flavors of the monkfish were quite excellent but the portion was small for the price. Overall, this place was a bit of a let down which is a bummer as it's in my neighborhood. I just couldn't get over the expensive and sloppily prepared oysters. AND serving a single raw carrot for $8... that's wild. read more

After seeing articles in Eater, I bookmarked this resto patiently waiting for it to open. I met up with one of my girlfriends on a random weeknight since she lives in FiDi & I currently work in Brooklyn. This Falcon was the mid-point for us and it is a true neighborhood gem not to be missed. What caught my eye was their focus on northern French cuisine. I've got to say, that bread (and butter) and duck were definitely calling our names! Everything was flavorful without being too heavy. The decor of this place was elegant - it's a nice place to grab a drink after work. But what also won me over was how welcoming the staff was. While waiting for the bathroom, I spoke to one of the staff and it seems comforting to know that their main focus to keep the regulars. They took more pride on focusing being local and THAT, ladies and gents, is what makes a restaurant worth visiting. read more

We 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. read more

Unexpectedly good. This is as close to finding a French bistro in Brooklyn as you can get. They do everything well from bread to butter to sole. The wine list is decent but nothing phenomenal. The service is on point and friendly and the ambiance is not quite cozy but Brooklyn hip version of cozy. The only downside to this place is that it is sort of "out of the way" if you don't live around the area. Still, I'd probably stop by again just to try some of the other dishes and maybe poke around for something good to drink. read more

I had such a fantastic meal at Third Falcon this past weekend. It's located on the corner of Myrtle Avenue, I actually walked right by it the first time around. Once you do find the restaurant, you'll notice how pretty it is with tons of natural light and lots of blue and white tones. Of course there are homages to the falcon all over in various ways. I was sat at the long bar which is in the middle of the restaurant and basically takes up a big part of the space. Everything was extremely crave-able. I started with the seasonal spritz [$16] which was a grapefruit something something flavor. It was sweet and refreshing and a little bubbly. It was a great way to start the meal. The Instead of Olives [$8] was crazy delicious. It was tomatoes prepared in a variety of ways, dehydrated, pickled, etc. I've never had tomatoes as good as these. The brioche [$9] and the butter really knocked me out. From my seat at the bar, I could see them preparing the brioche. They are so soft and fluffy and slightly sweet. Add the butter and it's like a dream. The chicken with peppers, tomato and crab butter [$32] was also stunning. The chicken was so juicy and flavorful. I want to be slathered with that crab butter. To finish the meal, I had the apple tart tatin [$22] with camomile ice cream. It's definitely meant for two people. There wasn't a printed dessert menu so I wasn't really aware at how big it was. I probably should've stuck with the sticky toffee pudding or something else meant for one person. Regardless, it was super delicious and I would definitely order it again if I was with someone else. Considering this is a new place, service was really good and felt attentive but not too much. There are definitely other things on the menu I'd love to try. I paid $130 with tax and tip. read more

It was a beautiful evening and a lovely meal. The staff could not have been kinder. While we waited for our table the hostess offered us each a free glass of champaign to celebrate our anniversary. We sat at a small table next to a window in the back and the kind service continued with the server. We ordered the leek tarte, oysters and the lamb special for two. We also got a couple more glasses of wine to go with the appetizers, then two more with dinner. The starters were absolutely delicious. The tarte was very French, meaning it had loads of butter in the pastry. The lamb was very good though also very expensive. There were some hiccups in the service but the owner and staff were an absolute pleasure and easily made up for them. read more

The ambiance inside is well done - dim lighting, fresh flowers, and charming decor. Has a romantic atmosphere but not over done in a way that would suggest it to be branded inly for couples or a date night. Also a good vibe to enjoy wine with friends type of evening. Our reso was for dinner and drink over weekend. Service was excellent from the start - welcoming and attentive. But while the drinks were enjoyable, the food didn't quite live up to the atmosphere and hospitality. For the table we shared a few plates. -The brioche and butter were a solid start. Soft bread, rich butter - simple and satisfying. -The Montauk red shrimp had a unique twist, served chilled with a creamy, sweet flavor and a hint of spice, maybe turmeric. -The cured fluke, however, didn't land for us. It was plated fanned out strips and lacked sauce and seasoning, leaving it a bit bland. -The crispy Livarot with maitake mushrooms was intriguing. The mushrooms tasted wonderful alone, but with the gooey cheese, the combination didn't quite click for us - like a fondue gone a bit sideways. Some may enjoy this, though! Very funky flavor -The Porcelet stole the show - and not in a good way. It was gamey, with a texture that felt underdone, and the cutlery struggled to cut through. By the time we finished, nobody had checked in, so we decided to skip the feedback and just settle the bill. Had left almost the entire dish untouched. It's a wonderful place with great drinks and ambiance. Grab a cozy spot by the window or at the bar and stick to the wine (or draft cocktails). But I'd say dinner might be best enjoyed elsewhere. read more

Third Falcon recently opened on a Myrtle and Adelphi and is definitely contending as a neighborhood intimate date night restaurant. There are only a handful of tables, a lot of seating is bar style along the windows and at the big L shaped counter in the middle. If you need back support or have trouble with getting up high on a stool, definitely make a reservation for a table. On a Thursday night, Third Falcon was about 80% full. Service was excellent. The server has a great understanding of the menu, making good recommendations to ensure I had enough and things felt balanced. Note that the menu is a bit deceiving - many of the plates are small, and everything is meant to be shared, so think fancy tapas rather that order an entree and leave. This was the most confusing part of my experience and takes the cost expectation from "nice night out" to "bougie" instantly. I ordered: SEASONAL SODA Quince flavored syrup with tonic water. Not enough quince and expensive. Skip. WHELK in garlic butter, presented diced in shell with some lightly pickled peppers. Good, mild, and felt luxe. If you're not into chewy shellfish, skip. PLATE OF GREENS a large seasonal salad, designed to share. Today included endive, dandelion, what I think is crown daisy, tomatoes, and smashed dates, with sesame for crunch. I surprisingly loved the hidden dates with the bitter daisy. Are the whole thing solo. SCALLOPS Delicious but tiny portion. Three inch and a half wide scallops, served in shell, with a sweet corn base. I liked that the scallops were very lightly cooked, a crunchy sear on one side but so very mellow and creamy inside. A+ execution . STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING the other reviews raved about this dish, and after my three dishes I still had plenty of room. The 4" cake is barely sweet and is topped with a sticky toffee caramel and a dollop of creme fraiche. Tasty, good portion, with a hint of bitter burnt sugar (in a good way) My four dishes came out to $103 for myself with tax and tip. This is a splurge kind of meal and may be a point of contention for the neighborhood. read more

I felt called to write this review because i think with some effort they can be as good as their reviews seem to indicate. The place itself is very cute and the service was wonderful, so nothing to say there. The brioche was fantastic so again a win. Unfortunately the "greens of the moment" was a plate of overdressed radicchio which is a bitter "green" and a whole plate of it mixed with nothing is just not the vibe. The monkfish my husband had was tasty but served basically lukewarm, the real problem arose with the chicken. It literally looked (and tasted) like boiled chicken and my stomach was immediately unhappy. Ive never seen chicken w skin on where the place didnt even attempt to crisp the skin and it was as pale as the chicken itself. There was no flavor to the chicken and it just tasted like a boiled chicken breast which i am sorry to say was not good. They redeemed themselves with possibly the best dish of the night - their apple tart w cinnamon ice cream, perhaps the best apple tart ive ever had. For the price i would absolutely not return but wish them well and hope this was just an off night for them. read more

Didn't love our experience. We waited more than an hour for entrees during first service on a Saturday night while watching other tables order, get their courses, eat, finish and pay. Was genuinely surprised that the staff caught a bit of an attitude when we explained we were going to pay for what we had to that point (which, if I'm being honest, was delicious - just not one hour wait delicious). I guess the place is quality, but I won't be going back. A shame, too, because I want to support all the local businesses. read more

Will be back! "not olives" was a delicious way to start off. Bread and butter was excellent--warm, soft and crusty at the same time. Bordier butter is tough to find in the city! The salad was beautiful looking. Scallons and Bavetter were great. The mushroom ficelle was outstanding. Good lighting. read more

Third Falcon - Lobster on brioche halfway eaten - French Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Just had dinner at Third Falcon and it was absolutely delicious, and the wine is great, too. It was me and my friend and we brought my 2 young children for an early bird dinner. Cali was very welcoming and child-friendly, which is lovely because you don't always get to go out for excellent food when you have kids. Northern French food means apples, pears, gooey cheeses and creamy butter, briny shellfish, rich sauces...these beautiful contrasts... I started with a pear cider that was just fresh and bursting alongside camembert, deeply umami mushrooms, warm brioche and butter...then the spice-rubbed head-on prawns, a chilled, curry-spiked counterpoint...followed by coq au vin for the kids (I finished the rich sauce with a spoon) and sole meuniere for my friend and I, with a delectable potato gratin and lovely side of endive and radishes...and a couple more exceptional glasses of wine... I highly recommend this place, a little neighborhood journey to the rocky French coast. Perfect winter food, too. read more

The restaurant is charming, the food exceptional. Service was warm and efficient. Sticky toffee pudding is a must!

Incredible butter - Cali is a wizard behind the kitchen . Great wine selection too - love to see the neighborhood grow!
