Figs

The food was amazing! The vibe in this restaurant is so cool and relaxed. It's BYOB so bring your favorite wine to pair with these amazing menu options!

BYOB. Quiet neighborhood eatery near the art museum. Wonderful place. Attentive. Menu choices were well thought out. I do not have a taste for fish like my friends so I ordered the duck. Perfectly cooked and presented. The fish, my friends said, was excellent. The bread pudding for dessert capped off the meal nicely. Then we went for a nice walk around the museum. Beautiful night.

Visited this hidden gem in Fairmount on a whim for Saturday brunch. The place is very cute and quaint with Moroccan decor adorning the walls. The brunch menu features some American classics but with a Mediterranean flare. The food was great and the woman who was the server for the entire dining room was fantastic. I'm not a big turkey bacon person, but it was cooked very well and didn't have the typical rubbery texture I've had elsewhere. Oh and did I mention it's BYOB?! Can't wait to come again to try the dinner menu! Just keep in mind they're cash only, but there is an ATM outside.

My wife and I had a terrific experience at this neighborhood gem. We started with the Moroccan mussels, which were served in a tasty broth. For the main course, I had the sesame crusted salmon with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Loved the contrast of the crunchy sesame seeds on the flaky fish. Asparagus was tender and the potatoes were creamy and well seasoned. My wife opted for the duck, which is always risky because not every restaurant cooks it correctly. I'm happy to report that Figs absolutely nailed it. The duck was crispy on the outside and not overcooked. For dessert, mango sorbet and crème brûlée. The crème brûlée could have used some real vanilla bean, but otherwise was very good. I also recommend the Moroccan mint tea. Would definitely recommend this place!

The food and service at Figs are consistently wonderful, and I feel badly that I haven't written a review until now. I've had dinner there three times over the past 18 or so months and have loved everything I've ordered. Their fish entrees are delicious, especially the salmon. I had an excellent filet a few months ago, and had the lamb tagine last week and loved it. The decor inside is colorful, warm, and reminiscent of Morocco; and the server (and owner I believe) is always very kind and attentive. It's great to have this place within walking distance of our home! Oh, and it's also BYOB, which is an added bonus.

We have lived in Fairmount for almost three years and finally got around to having date night at Figs. Everything was absolutely delicious. To start, we shared the Baked Brie with Honey, Lavender, Toasted Almonds & Pita Bread. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! We also shared the Grilled Vegetable Pizza Flatbread with Sundried Tomato Pesto and Feta Cheese. For my meal I ordered the Sesame Crusted Salmon Filet served with Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Grilled Asparagus and Ginger Plum Sauce and my husband had the Crab Stuffed Filet of Sole in a Mixed Mushroom Cream Sauce served with Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Haricot verts. I think the portion size of my meal was a bit more manageable than my husband's but he enjoyed it anyway (and still had room for dessert!). I love that its BYOB making it an added bonus and almost forcing you - in a good way - to really sit and enjoy a bottle of wine while you take your time savoring every bite of the meal. The service was also excellent and friendly. It is cash only which is not a problem but something to remember!

This restaurant has been on my list ever since I moved to Fairmount. It is absolutely adorable and a hidden gem in the neighborhood. A small and intimate space. My bf and I enjoyed our experience very much, but both agreed we wouldn't order the same food next time.We ordered the baked Brie in clay pot as our app and everything about that dish was perfect! Extremely flavorful and a perfect way to start our meal. Only downside was that the portion was fairly small. So delicious though!I was debating between the sesame crusted salmon filet and grilled king shrimp. The waiter suggested the salmon because it is very different. My salmon was perfectly cooked and everything on my plate tasted amazing. Perfect portion size! It was delicious, but I personally wouldn't order it again because the ginger plum sauce was just a bit too sweet for me. My bf ordered the seafood risotto and the seafood was very generous. He wasn't the biggest fan of his dish because the cream sauce was a bit bland. All the seafood was drenched in the thick white sauce. I thought it was delicious when I took a few bites, but I would not order that as my entree because it is a very heavy meal.We ordered the warm peach bread pudding for dessert. It was very good, but did not blow us away. I would try something different next time.Great service, beautiful decor, intimate setting, byo and flavorful food. I would 100% come back.

We came here for dinner. First off cash only and BYOB. But didn't mind that. The food was solid. We tried a couple smaller dishes. We got the salmon pizza, tuna (my favorite appetizer)spinach and feta triangle, scallops. All was delicious and fresh. The place was not busy, but had a good carryout crowd. The appetizer "my favorite appetizer" was ironically my favorite.

It's been a while since we had eaten at Figs, the scene of our first date almost twenty years ago. We've gone back many times over the years, but recently returned to celebrate our anniversary. It was just as good as ever! My usual go-to is the seared tuna over banana curry, but this time I tried the sesame crusted salmon, which was also delicious. The service is friendly and pleasant, the ambiance is delightfully exotic, and the owner (I assume) is always there, a good sign. Figs is a neighborhood gem. I can hardly wait to go back for the tuna!

Food was absolutely delicious. The sole stuffed with crab was delicious, as was the baked Brie and the tapas. You can't go wrong with anything, though. The service was EXCELLENT. The staff was attentive and kind. 10/10 would recommend.
