Welcome to the Falcon House, where as soon as you step in the door, everyone knows your name, your drink and your favorite song. The bar’s packed every night of the week (except Mondays when they’re closed) with people of all ages and flavors.
The music is a great mix—whatever you want to hear, they’ll play. Owners Tim Bauer and Ted Keer, formerly of 32 East, serve up a great tapas menu as well, including everything from risotto to chowder, salads to cookies. On Sundays, roll out of bed in your PJs and head over for a free mimosa or Bloody Mary and brunch—this is as laid-back as Delray gets.

Owners Tim Baur and Ted Keer bought and fully renovated The Falcon House (formerly Bennardo's Italian), putting a bit of polish on this lovely historic property and turning it into a popular cocktail and tapas bar. The one-story Mediterranean cottage, built in 1925, now offers 350 seats and a pretty outdoor patio.
Patrons can sit and soak up the tropical breezes while sipping cosmopolitans, margaritas, angel-food cake martinis and the "Falcon House Sidecar," a specialty cognac sour. A small but elegant tapas menu is the perfect light touch for the relaxed setting and inexpensive enough (all dishes are under $10) that you can sample several, or share a bunch, without breaking the bank. Noteworthy tapas: the grilled veggies drizzled with basil oil and roasted pepper coulis, tuna poki with tarp chips, spicy lobster etoufee, pirogies stuffed with cheddar cheese and potatoes, beef Satay with Asian slaw and lamb ribs with Mongolian barbeque sauce.

Billing itself as “The All American Tapas Bar,” Chef Jose Argueta is preparing a large selection of samplings each evening in this eclectically designed establishment. And perhaps reflecting American largesse, the tapas dishes here are larger than you might find at other restaurants. This allows for more tasting, as a couple of people can split a dish -- not usually possible in small-portions-by-definition tapas establishments.
We preferred the non fried offerings to the fried, but other tables obviously were enjoying the entire array of dishes. For our money, from the permanent menu we would choose the shrimp mojo (with fresh citrus, garlic, and cumin); the seafood pasta (with shrimp, scallops, crab, asparagus, and roasted garlic); Steak Diane (with peppercorns); and seared scallops. The evening we visited we also enjoyed the Key West pink shrimp with mango papaya; as well as the Yellowtail snapper with buerre blanc and garlic spinach from the daily specials. Service is friendly and efficient, and the wine list is interesting and worth a look.
