Farallon restaurant - 450 Post Street, San Francisco, CA (opened June 1997 - closed 2020)
"Farallon is named after a fishing island off the Pacific coast.
The underwater fantasy theme drives the $4 million restaurant. The electric atmosphere grabs customers the minute they walk through the glass doors framed by a brushed steel and Lucite canopy, which vaguely looks like a scallop shell. Giant jellyfish chandeliers hang from the high ceiling. The walls are textured with shellfish impressions, and lighted yellow pillars that climb the walls are imprinted with seaweed. And that's just the bar.
The big main dining room is more elegant, but maintains the marine motif. Tiny tiles form mosaics on the ceiling, where two huge light fixtures are formed into seashells. Even the hood over the kitchen carries out the theme: It's covered in copper scales. And suspended over the counter are beautiful blown-glass lights shaped like fish.
A gracefully curving staircase leading to the mezzanine is covered in 50,000 blue-black glass beads that resemble magnified caviar, while the wall sconces replicate stands of coral and barnacles."
Excellent examples of the 'Org-Nouveau' style popular in the 1990's
Designed by Pat Kuleto
Scanned from American Theme Restaurants by I.M. Tao (1999) and the February 1998 issue of Interiors Magazine

Incredible glass figurine stop motion animation! How in the world did they make this? The little glass figures have so much personality. Shared with permission from the Tik Tok page Old Beautiful Clips.
