3.5 because the hostess sat a party of 3 before our party of 3 , however, we were there first. (First come first served waitlist) soo.. it's an odd set up really. **DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT A QUICK DRINK OR MAD HUNGRY ** The gentleman running the front desk apologized and did not know why she did that. Maybe she was in training? no reservations until 8 pm in bar/lounge area. not sure about dining area. Upon entering... it's bougie. could be a tad more bougie in my opinion. We were excited to try this place. After being seated... we had an awesome server! He was so pleasant. It was packed in there. It took over 20 minutes to get our 3 drinks. ** need more staff if this is normal. Because waiting 20 minutes plus for a drink, in my opinion, is too long. We loved the presentation of the hummus . It was really beautiful. The cheese breadsticks were delicious and the dipping sauce, I thought was perfect. We enjoyed the little touches like the wax paper the cheesy breadsticks were served on as well as the little gold bougie plate the cork was left on. I think it would be really fun to have the staff get into the era and dress each nite. Like maybe a flapper headband for girls and a hat for the guys and arm cuffs for shirts. The seats are velvety to touch and we were comfortable. The recessed lighting needs to go and lights need to go down a bit. It ruined the vibe. Don't plan on mingling here and meeting people. It's just not cohesive with the arrangement of chairs & tables. If you were forced to walk through the middle of the room to go to the Lu, then maybe you could mingle and run into people. But that simply is not the case. So go with people you like---like we did and you will enjoy:) It's definitely worth trying for a different experience. read more

1st time coming here & I'm never coming back. This place is racist towards POC, no hospitality whatsoever. Everyone was getting attended to but our table. Our server had a nasty attitude & had us constantly waiting. I'm so upset by the long time the food has arrived it was cold & not cooked right. read more

The ambiance was amazing and such a vibe. The moment you walk in your taken to a place of its own. These service was decent, staff was polite but nothing beyond. The food was decent I did not like the steak was laying in a sauce which I nor my husband liked. The steak was a bit undercooked but was okay. The food was very over seasoned. The pizza which we ordered as an appetizer was the best thing we had by far. The flavor and crunch of the pizza was perfect. read more

Definitely worth the trip. The food and staff were amazing. The Ambiance was really nice.

This was our second time going to Falcon's Lair since their opening, and wow, we were happy to give it another shot. That's not to say our first experience was a bad one-- it was just different. We sat in the dining area this time which has a great vibe with low lights and velvet covered booths. We started things out with Chicken Lettuce Wraps which were delicious! The sauce they use on them really makes the wrap, and they are so fresh and light. For dinner, we ordered the Honey Glazed Salmon, Smash Burger, Broccolini and the Twice Baked Truffle Potatoes. All so yummy! Our server and all the food runners were very friendly and sweet. Following this trip we will probably include Falcon's Lair in our date night rotation from now on. read more

We had such an amazing first time here! The atmosphere is incredible and the staff is top notch. This is definitely a shining gem of the Central Valley. This is the perfect fancy date night spot. My husband's smoked cocktail arrived inside an ornate smoke filled chest. The menu is whimsical and so delicious it is all well worth the price. read more

I love this place. The different rooms have you feeling like you've entered another dimension of elegance and taste. I like the old world flare of glamour and luxury that this Restaurant gives. I highly recommend taking a selfie in the bathroom! I cannot say enough good things about the pizza. You must order a pizza with every meal. And the classiness and deliciousness of the drinks are superb. The staff is very charming, warm and always insightful of the new additions to the menu. I cannot wait for our next night out at this restaurant. This place is definitely a hidden gem in Ripon. read more

Great atmosphere, food and service! Love the 40's vibe and decor. Love the red pepper hummus. read more

Had a great experience at this restaurant! Kaitlin, was amazing -- attentive, welcoming, and full of great energy. Service was fantastic and so were the drinks. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Food was so good, I just wish the service matched. Our waitress would disappear for so long and then come back and be so rude. Also sooo inconvenient that you can only split the check 2 ways.... Cool place but it won't be on my list to come back. read more

This was my first time dining here, and it was a great experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Adding Lydia as our server made the experience even better--she was friendly, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of without being overbearing. You can tell they take pride in both the quality of their dishes and their service. I'll definitely be back and would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We had reservations at Flair's Liars, and to be fair, our reservation was honored and we were seated in a timely manner. However, while waiting to be checked in, we overheard the host telling walk-in guests that the wait time without reservations was about an hour and a half. Hearing that wait time and seeing how busy the entrance was, we expected a higher level of service and organization. When we arrived, the host didn't greet us or ask about our reservations until we walked up ourselves, despite a sign instructing guests to wait to be called. The interaction we did receive felt vague and impersonal. Most of the staff appeared very young--likely high school or college aged--which isn't a problem on its own, but many seemed inexperienced or robotic in how they handled guests. Once seated, the experience continued to feel disorganized. We had to request utensils that should have already been on the table, the wrong bottle of wine was brought out, and certain dishes (like the lamb chops) arrived cold. The food itself was average; not terrible, but not memorable, especially considering the pricing. Portions were small for the cost (for example, a ~$50 4oz ribeye with no sides). At the end of the meal, our server offered to pack leftovers, but when the bill came, the food was gone -- apparently thrown out by mistake. No one seemed sure what happened to it. We also tried to visit the speakeasy lounge afterward and were initially told it was at full capacity. However, once we walked in, we immediately saw open seats and sat down, only to receive another dismissive interaction from the same host. The attitude came off unprofessional and unwelcoming. Overall: While our reservation was handled on time, the overall service, communication, and professionalism did not match the atmosphere or pricing. The restaurant feels overrated for what it offers. The drink presentation is nice, but not enough to recommend the experience. Would not recommend. read more

Love the ambiance, drinks are great! Angelina was fab. Wonderful service! Pizza is amazing!

Please make Julian the busser, a server! He was the most attentive. We loved him! First timer here and hope to have him again!

Lydia gave us impeccable service! First time here and can't wait to go back! The food was top notch, finished dishes we're hastily cleaned, and we were asked if we needed anything. Top notch service. read more

Made reservations for four, was told when I made reservations I had to secure with a credit card and we all had to show up at once. We got there 10 min. Before was seated right away. A young girl approached us while we were deciding and seemed frustrated we were not ready. A very nice young man came to take our order he was nice. We asked for split tickets for we were with another couple. I ordered the filet mignon and the two lobster tails. The steak was so over cooked I couldn't even cut with a knife and the lobster was cold and also over cooked. They brought us our ticket which wasn't separated. I went to look for anyone to fix it. Finally found someone. I mentioned they failed to separate our ticket and I nicely mentioned the issues with the food. We don't mind spending money on food. That is our thing. But four people cost almost 500.00!!! The brought us to go containers and then put our food on floor. So the decor is beautiful but we won't be going back. They didn't even seem to want to fix it. Problem is we won't be back. We wanted the experience and we definitely didn't get that but on a positive my dogs will be eating filet mignon tonight. read more

The ambiance, the food and the service was wonderful. Definitely intend to go back for a special occasion. The only reason I didn't give 5-stars was that the prices are pretty extreme and when my friend and I needed to use the restroom, it was packed full of young girls taking photos and being very loud with the staff outside in the front doing nothing about it. read more

Not the biggest of venues but it lends itself to intimacy. It's dimly lit and the cozy. The service is great. The menu is small but packs a punch with flavor. I had the steak and a cowboy mule on the side. read more

A very unique spot, intriguing atmosphere, definitely an experience. The service was great, shout out to Katie for being an awesome host and going the extra mile to be on theme for the old Hollywood / 20's vibe with her lingo! The menu has a lot of good choices, the drinks are fantastic. A little pricey but all things considered, worth it! read more

Been here twice & sad to say both times have been disappointing. Service was good, food was so so, a little pricey..that's expected in today's economy but what I don't understand is the old world charm of the Hollywood vibe, to me it felt more dark & dreary. Many other better choices in Ripon to choose from read more

Katie was our waitress and she was fantastic! Very charismatic and attentive. We always enjoy our experience when we come here for date night or even a girls night. This is a true gem in Ripon. read more

Bring a down parka before going to this place!! It was very cold in the lobby as we waited to be seated and it was equally cold in the dining room. Talked to the server and he told us he would try to turn on the heat, but no luck. Then talked to the manager and was told that the AC/Heat is controlled by an outside management company and there was nothing she could do. She also told us that they get multiple complaints about being cold every night. This really overshadowed what should have been a wonderful experience. The drinks are very good and the food was delicious. Too bad they can't or won't make it pleasant to enjoy a meal there. read more

Such a nice place that would have never known about if it wasn't for my co worker . I'm surprised this place isn't talked about more . The waitress Lydia was excellent . She was very nice and answered any questions we had . The lighting in the place sets a nice calm and relaxed vibe . The food and drinks were good . The appetizer was huge, we didn't even have room to finish our dinner because of it . Definitely one of my new favorite places to go to. The ambience is like a 1920's vibe and in the dining room they have a silent movie playing while you eat . There's a whole other side that is a bar/lounge that i want to check out next time I'm there . read more

What a gorgeous restaurant with delicious food! The design is classy and elegant with a 1920's flare. I ordered the Falcon's combo pizza and a side salad. So tasty! We were well taken care of and the staff went above and beyond for our group of ladies. A beautiful experience here! read more

Went on a date night with friends. The bartender made good cocktails but the restaurant service was not good. Never greeted us and sat at the table for 18 minutes waiting. Pretty positive they forgot to put in our food it took that long . Drinks were forgotten and wine bottle was ordered and took 20 minutes to get to table. Worst service I've ever received that ruined an expensive and first time experience dining here. Thank goodness for the service assistant who was nice and had time for us. Brussel sprouts are bomb. read more

Burger was great! Salmon tacos were disappointing. Not much of the "avocado sauce" at all. The "cole slaw" did not seem to be dressed and was bland. I asked for a dish of the "sauce" and some Tabasco to lift the dish up. The burger though....YUM! The wine list is brief and could use some expansion - there are so many good California wines to choose from! Our service was disappointing. Our waitress went on a 30 min. break after we ordered so another staff member delivered our food and then we never saw him again. I had to flag down another staff member to ask for the extra sauce & Tabasco. read more

This place was amazing! My boyfriend and I decided to go for our 2 year anniversary, and we were both very happy.

Very unique, and we'll definitely be returning! read more

Wow this place is amazing I can't wait to go back ! So I was around the area and I could not find a place to eat thankfully I found this place on yelp. I was in the Manteca area but notice this place was not that far so I decided to check it out . Once you walk in to your left side is the formal dinning and to your right is a lounge with speakeasy vibes it had a bar area and a patio area also . The patio was big and very comfortable either for the cold or hot weather. The whole building inside is like an old school decor like a speakeasy vibe, which I love. The waiter was super nice actually everybody was super nice from the moment. I walked till the moment I left. The drinks were so delicious I got Lavender Fields and the Bees Knees 10/10 and I'm picky with my drinks . The food was so delicious as well . I got a salad and the Fig Pizza very yummy . I highly recommend this place I can't wait to go back . read more

Amazing food, amazing drinks, our server Lydia was exceptional!!! Almost all of us had their special (seafood risotto) amazing!!!

Food and ambiance won't find anything better within 200 miles. Constructive criticism. Ordered appetizers. Wine I specifically ordered for dinner was served half way through the appetizer. Soup came half way through the appetizers. We were forced to use the appetizer silverware for the main course. Our server was chomping on gum. Total turn off to an extremely good meal. Pray for improvement. One more chance. read more

Celebrated my husband's birthday here with my in-laws from Wisconsin. There are 2 sitting areas, 1 is family friendly while the other one is Speakeasy place for adults only. We all loved the ambiance. We ordered Rib-eye steak, Salmon, Fish Tacos, Vodka-Kissed Chicken Pasta and Chicken Nuggies for the kids. We all love the food we ordered, especially the steak. I ordered the Lavender Gin Fizz, it is so pretty but so delicious too. We have been recommending this place to our friends and so do you who reads my review. Our server Marcus has awesome customer service. read more

I have gone twice now and sat in the lounge area. The mood is fun and relaxing. Both times service was ok. Drinks have been amazing each time. We ordered food one time and I got the steak. It did not come with any side and was just ok. Overall service hasn't been top notch and I think it's very pricey for what you get. If you just go for drinks it's great to have a well done cocktail but just for a drink or food, I would go elsewhere. read more

Absolutely love this place. Every time I have came the customer service is excellent. The food is always tasty and I've never gotten something that I haven't liked. It is so beautifully decorated so much attention to detail and honestly, you won't leave disappointed. read more
