About Farallon - San Francisco
Farallon, once a defining staple of San Francisco’s dining scene, offered an upscale seafood experience with a focus on elegant presentation and a dramatic jellyfish-inspired decor. Although the restaurant closed in 2020, the building at 450 Post Street continues to be a hub of hospitality with the Kensington Park Hotel, Post Street Theatre, and San Francisco Playhouse. This page preserves essential venue information for planners and locals seeking context about the site and nearby amenities.
Located in Union Square, Farallon’s legacy lives on in the surrounding accommodations, dining options, and easy access to public transit. Whether you’re researching historic venues for events or exploring the neighborhood’s current offerings, this page provides practical details to help you plan with confidence.
Note: Farallon’s original dining spaces were known for a main dining room seating about 175 and three private dining rooms—Sevruga (up to 16), Osetra (up to 32), Beluga (up to 96). Private events could accommodate up to 250 guests, with Jellyfish Loft suitable for standing receptions of about 30.
