Usually a BYOB place has either wonderful food or is inexpensively priced - - this place had mediocre food and was a bit pricey for what it was. I found the food bland. I was part of a party of four and tasted many things at the table. The only thing that was notable in a good way was the eggplant lasagna. The angel hair pasta tasted like something I easily could have made better by myself and the rock shrimp dish also left a lot to be desired. The service was efficient but not polished. The fig ice cream I ended with has had freezer burn. I had a nice time here but it was due to good conversation with friends and not the food. read more

My friend and I shared the baked brie appetizer after reading the glowing reviews on Yelp. I see what all the fuss is about, it's really delicious! And a large portion for two people, although we ate every last bit of it. I also had the filet mignon. I don't normally order steak but the description on the menu sounded amazing. I'm glad I went for it because it was perfect. We were there pretty early for dinner and it was a weeknight, so maybe I shouldn't be so surprised by this... but we were the only ones in the restaurant for our entire meal. It just seemed odd to me. I'd like to check it out on a weekend and see if the atmosphere is any different. Also love that it's BYOB! read more

This restaurant is near the museum of art, but it could only use cash. The sesame salmon was good with potato and asparagus. The pasta was pite but a little sour, the quantity was generous. read more

Figs - Moroccan Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This place is awesome. Absolutely great food, affordable, cool atmosphere, and BYOB!! I definitely recommend this place! The Baked Brie with lavender and honey appetizer was awesome. I had seared tuna in a coconut curry sauce for dinner which was phenomenal. I forget what my wife and friends had but we all really liked our food. If you're going on a weekend you should probably make a reservation. The only downside I found with this place is that they only accept cash and don't have an ATM machine nearby. But that's just a minor inconvenience that the quality of their food definitely trumps. read more

Really wanted to like this place more. Pluses: we were seated right away for our reservation time. The service was courteous and prompt. The desserts were delicious (fig ice cream and creme brûlée). Minuses: the lamb, which on the menu looks amazing, came out grossly under seasoned and a bit more gamey than I like. The portion was generous enough but it just wasn't savory enough. For a $23 dollar entree, I was disappointed and this brought down the entire experience. Maybe next time Figs... read more

My husband and I went to Figs for dinner on one of our date nights, and we had a lovely time. It's BYOB, and the menu is quite interesting. We had the Baked Brie Appetizer, a pot of melted brie, honey, and almond that was a bit on the sweet side but very tasty. For dinner, my husband had the Lamb Tagine (!!!) and I had the Crispy Duck--both were delicious, and we each were convinced that ours was the best choice. For dessert, we tried their homemade ice cream--the fig was absolutely wonderful. I would describe the atmosphere of the place was very romantic and intimate--not many tables and lower lighting. The only issue we had was a small one--our waiter was sometimes difficult to flag down, and he did seem a bit on the busy side, but it never became an issue. Overall, a good find, and I am proud of my husband for picking it. read more

We went to Figs for our friends birthday party--reservations are recommended on the weekends. They were very accommodating for our large party (9!) in such a small space. They put a little candle in my friend's dessert, so much nicer than having 9 bored waiters at a chain restaurant come over with half-hearted birthday singing. We ordered several of the appetizers--they were all delicious. My favorite was the beet and haricot vert salad with goat cheese. I ordered the seafood mascarpone saffron risotto. I'm usually not a fan of scallops, but these were prepared just right. Even though the restaurant was small, you really weren't aware of all the other diners, it was very cozy. Everyone was super satisfied with their food--we can't wait to go back and try brunch. read more

Just one more birthday dinner to top it all off... Figs, you did not disappoint. Small but cozy BYOB in the art museum district with a short yet diverse menu. We opted for the Mediterranean sampler appetizer with the hummus, baba ganoush, and fish salad. Hummus was excellent, others so-so. For my entrée, I tried the swordfish coated in a date bbq sauce and topped with sliced almonds. Quite delicious. For dessert, I had to try the homemade fig ice cream - what a tasty, creamy combination! And the survey says... unique cuisine, generous portions, cute, cozy, laid back environment. You should try it. Oh and don't forget, this place doesn't take cards so BRING PLENTY OF CASH. read more

Sometimes I literally dream about the sesame crusted salmon in the plum sauce, served over grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes. I finally took the boyfriend to Figs, and he thought it was "really good" but he hasn't dreamed about it yet. For shame. Other things to get: brie with honey in a clay pot, duck with spinach & bread pudding, risotto. Also their brunch is a little atypical, but still really great (fluffiest pancakes I've ever seen), BYO, and never has a wait like the other places in the 'hood. read more

Food was delicious, service was great, and we really enjoyed our experience at this restaurant for brunch. Moroccan eggs were scrumptious.

It's been over 10 years since I dined at Figs, and I'm surprised I didn't have memories of the delicious food. For a laid back NYE dinner, Figs was available on short notice and they delivered. The moroccan inspired menu featured whole fish, savory meats falling off the bone, duck, shellfish, as well as some vegetarian options. Prices were reasonable; it's a BYOB. I ordered the seared tuna special served on wasabi mashed potatoes. The boo had salmon with shrimp, crab, and crawfish on top. SO STINKING GOOD. Having just gotten over a stomach bug, I was fully able to clean my plate. It was the first plate I had cleaned in 3 days. And I'm a cleaner. The wait staff was extremely friendly and continuously assured us we'd be sitting shortly as we stood awkwardly in the vestibule. I'd definitely return, especially with a group - can't beat a BYOB on a group dinner! **Cash only** read more

Figs was a lovely venue for our 8-person dinner. Elegant interior which made it feel spacious yet intimate. Servers were attentive and up for the challenge of my interrogation (I ask a lot of questions sometimes). I set the bar high for Mediterranean, and Figs is just above average. Three stars because the salads were meager and the baba ganoush was nothing special. My tapas were on the oily-side with out the spice and zest to balance the fat. The "fish salad" tasted like creamy anchovies. My server said it was dairy free, so I don't know what made it creamy white. Whatevs. Also loved the eggplant with marinara and cheese. If you haven't noticed, I'm an eggplant fiend. Everyone else enjoyed their meat dishes. Some appetizers were small, some large, so value is grab bag. Can't say I will choose to go back, but if I need a place for a group BYO it's a solid option. read more

This isn't one of the first places I think of when making brunch plans. The food is pretty standard, with a few Moroccan items adding some flair, earning only 3 stars. Also, there were only 2 vegan items on the menu, not counting the bread items. But the service is amazing, with a nice, homely feel. Also, they serve only halal meat, and I know how hard that is to come by in a nice, sit down restaurant. For those two reasons alone, I give Figs four stars and would recommend it to my carnivorous Muslim friends... read more

It's a trek to get to Figs from my house in South Philly, but it's worth it! What I like the most: The tin roof, the build your own omelet (I go for goat cheese, tomato, and spinach), the kind and lovely server who attends the whole restaurant, the sunlight streaming in, the bread pudding, the paintings in the bathroom.... there's a lot to like. I went there for my birthday this year and they put some candles in our desserts. A nice little touch. read more

Yum Yum Yum! Instead of a main course I had a slew of apps. The tapas plate was a big thumbs up and the waitress was nice enough to bring us an extra helping of bread. My friends meal looked incredibly delish (crunchy duck) while I had the filo triangle with spinach (the best!), salmon pizza (meh), eggplant lasagna (thumbs up!) and the special salad (mango!). Needless to say, half came home with me. It's BYOB and Cash only. It's incredibly priced-so good for so little! I can't wait to go back. Our waitress was incredibly patient, kind and helpful. Is it time to go back yet? read more

I returned to Figs recently for the first time in 2 years with my mom & sisters for dinner. I was glad to see that nothing had changed. Same cozy restaraunt with the same (delicious) menu. I had made reservations for 7:30pm for my party of 6 on a Saturday night and we were seated promptly. We orderd a lot of food and I got to sample a little bit of everything. Appetizers: the baked brie in the clay pot is a must. The lavendaer gives it a really unique flavor. We also got the mussels (delicious), the hummus/smoked salmon pizza (surprisingly really good, at first thought it might be an odd combo) and the tzatziki which I wasn't really a fan of (but I think I just don't liek tzatziki in general). Entrees: I had the tuna. It was perfectly cooked, pan seared and melted in your mouth. That came with spinach which was really fresh, not a gritty mass of slimy overcooked stuff. It also came with mashed potatos with banana coconut curry sauce (yum!). I also got to sample the seafood risotto and the filet mignon which were both really good. I tasted the swordfish which I really liked but the vanilla rice that it came with was way too sweet for my taste. I would say the only con was that the service could have been a bit better. For example, we asked 3 times before finally getting a bucket of ice for our white wine. By the time it arrived the wine was warm. But overall I love figs and will continue to go back. And remember, it's byob and cash only! read more

A traditionally decorated place on an inconspicuous corner run (at least when we were there) by a sweet older woman in a headdress. Nice. I'm in for some solid, perhaps more refined Moroccan food here, right? Well...sorta. Sesame crusted salmon? Awesome. Perfectly cooked. Zero complaints. But Moroccan? Nah. Well...sorta. The ginger plum sauce it's on certainly is, but otherwise this seems like an old American/Pan-Asian "standard" adopted because it would sell. This trend of "typical" dishes (crab stuffed sole, crispy duck, seafood risotto, etc) with Northern African twists seems to be the trend here. Is that bad? No. Do I wish the more traditional side of things came out here more (like in the braised lamb tagine over sweet couscous and veggies)? Sure. But was everything we had absolutely phenomenal? Damn straight. Sidenote: BYO and super low pricing here. Brie in a clay pot for under $6, a meal for two consisting of roast lamb, brie, and salmon for under $50? So many reasons to return. read more

Who: Man and I and 2 bottles of wine When: Friday at 7 PM Reservations: Nah. I can praise compensation, especially when food makes you forget about the the under air-conditioned restaurant and its NO air-conditioned bathroom (salient and pertinent facts on a humid, 90+ degree summer evening). Talk about compensation; the lavender brie appetizer was by far the most taste-bud inspiring thing I've tasted on an appetizer menu. It was a heavenly combination along with sliced almonds, honey, and I wished it was in a pushed pastry rather than on pita bread slices. Still, I prolonged its existence on our table and deflected the server's 3 attempts to get cleared, even as he took away my nearly done entree. Man looked enviously at my rare tuna entree, which sat upon a garlic-y spinach bed and a foundation of mashed potatoes, made an island unto itself by the banana coconut curry. THAT was also good, much better than Man's lamb shank dish, a solid but unspectacular meal whose highlights were the aromatic couscous. Done speaking of the highs, I want to speak of one more speakable low: the mussel appetizer. Dried and shrivel, Figs threw away their potential; the grass was proven to be greener at Monk's/Belgian Cafe. Stomach space is precious real estate, and I could have gotten another 5 dollar heavenly brie for the nearly half the price of the mussels. read more

I came here for date night and had a great time. I love the low key ambiance with BYO and delicious food - I got eggplant goat cheese lasagna, baked Brie and the whole fish of the day. The service is rather slow- only downside. I would definitely come back, I hear the brunch is really good. read more

Came here again for dinner with the man friend And both of us were yet again pleased with our experience. I got the ginger plum salmon with grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes. While he got the date BBQ swordfish with vanilla rice and spinach. Both were really rich and well seasoned dishes that were incredibly tasty and complex. However, only complaint was that they were a but over sauced. And the sweetness made me want to squeeze a lemon over my fish. Will still be coming for dinner again though!! read more

Walked in with a group of 5 and it was pretty cramped, but quaint. We were told they were doing brunch and weren't seated or given a menu until we told the lady yes, we'd stay for brunch. There were a few tables not in use, but we had to wait for the hostess to clear off two dirty tables to seat us at those. Odd, but ok. We were sort of surprised that the only Moroccan thing on the menu was Moroccan eggs. Everything else was American food. CASH ONLY. Took a few minutes in to figure out why my group was a bit annoyed and they pointed out to me that everyone in the restaurant was eating pasta, and steak, wine, shrimp, dinner foods, while we were told they were only serving brunch. I had the Moroccan eggs which were alright. It's a bit of ground beef and marinara sauce served with sunny side up eggs. I have to assume they accommodate local regulars for meals? The hostess was very polite, but didn't really check on us but twice the entire time we were there. It was also, overly warm in the place with no AC on a 98 degree day. Three out of four of my friends enjoyed their meals, but were disappointed in the lack of food choices. The prices are excellent at brunch, though. My husband asked about why people were having dinner foods and we were told brunch and the hostess explained afterwards that they'd have cooked whatever we wanted if we'd asked, but made it clear when we walked in it was brunch only. We won't go there again due to how awkward that whole situation was, and the noise level was insane because of how loud people were in such a tiny place, but it is a nice little hole in the wall for locals. read more

What a lovely find for me, my family and my business colleagues. Last night I had clients here from out of town. When I last saw them, I took them to Audrey Claire, which if you read my prior Yelp was a tragic mistake. I wanted our experience to be far better yesterday, so we had manicures, lunch, massages (read other reviews about those events) followed by dinner and a trip to the Philadelphia Art Museum to hear First Person Arts storyslams. My research found Figs and I thought it would accommodate the various eating habits of the guests: you know, one is vegan, one is on Atkins diet, one will eat anything that doesn't eat him first, and then there is always someone with allergies or strong dislikes. Figs was just that. The menu contains meat, seafood, and vegetable dishes. Plus, the wait staff, a wonderful woman who is from Morocco but speaks very clear and understandable English, helped us by asking the cooks what ingredients were used in certain items and making our meals deviate from that offered on the menu -- all without any qualms. So , I could order the spinach over couscous minus the shrimp to avoid eating animals, and my colleague could order the salmon with extra asparagus but no mashed potatoes to skip the carbs. The staff and the menu were accommodating, but wait, there's more. The food was delicious. We ate every bite, well almost every bite before leaving. We were so full that I could not finish every vegetable on the Mediterranean Vegetable platter (probably because I had a fill of the bean dip with pita (we refused wonderful offers for more pita too) and the beet and haricot verts salad. But, the food was so good, I got up this morning and finished it for my pre-breakfast snack! The restaurant is pretty to look at, it was quiet and perfectly lit to give you the impression you were alone even though other customers were sitting nearby. Best of all, when we asked for a receipt to get reimbursed for business expenses, the love waitress described above hand wrote the order a second time to give us an itemized list of foods. So, here you have it - a restaurant two blocks from the art museum that is good for people with all sorts of eating habits, people who just wanna have fun visiting our wonderful Philadelphia sites and people who want to entertain business colleagues -- all in one lovely place. read more

The table ordered: brie in the clay pot special salad with pineapple-very good lamb 3 shrimp with angel hair filet 2 sole stuffed with crab meat everything was delicious. The waiter was very helpful and attentive. A place my family loves to go back to every few months! read more

C'mon, Figs - I know you can do so much better. I really wanted to like this place because it's in my neighborhood, it seems to be loved by the neighborhood, I've heard from friends that the dinner is great, and the previous Yelp reviews have been very positive. There were some really lovely regulars in the restaurant chatting with one another. The decor is beautiful. Our waitress was sweet. So much potential! So it's Sunday brunch, party of four - two of us ordered the BLT, and the other two ordered build your own omelets. The BLT is comprised of: a large buttery croissant, wilted lettuce served under scrambled eggs, Hollandaise sauce, tomato and turkey bacon. It's a mushy, tasteless messy sammy that you eat with a fork + knife. And it came out to the table about room temp. It seemed very carelessly prepared. The build-your-own omelets were fine, unimpressive, not well seasoned...but they were hot, which was an improvement over the BLT. The potatoes weren't bad - a tad mushy, but well seasoned. The coffee was overly bitter, but maybe it was a bad batch (trying hard to give them the benefit of the doubt). HOWEVER - it's cheap as chips there, and it's a real neighborhood joint. I'd go again to cure a bad hangover maybe - the pancakes looked tasty. It's just not the treasure that I read it was, sadly. With such a simple menu (read: not much selection), you've got to be able to execute everything you're offering. I think maybe they've stopped paying attention to quality, or maybe the kitchen was having a bad day. We went somewhere else after to satisfy our craving for tasty food. read more

Not memorable but worth a visit. It's in the art museum area and parking will likely be a bitch, take a cab or walk. IMPORTANT - The door is really hard to open and makes people look stupid when they try to get in for about 30 seconds. Just grab the handle and throw a shoulder into it. The decor inside is fitting to the place, but it lacked that quality that transported me to Morocco. It just didn't feel like a elegant restaurant, more like a neighborhood spot. It didn't make the jump to fine dining. The kitchen is visible from the dining area also. It is cash only. The food was solid though, the honey & brie appetizer was delicious. I'd give my tuna entree an 8 /10. One reason that I wouldn't go back, as opposed to trying somewhere new was that the entree menu was small, maybe 8-10 items and I ordered the only one that appealed to me. It's a BYO and definitely worth the trip, just don't go expecting the world. read more

I wanted to love this place: I came open minded, building on my earlier experience, which was fantastic - and I wanted to recapture that. Not to be. Made reservation for 6 pm on a Saturday, for pre-theater dinner, and to continue hubby's b'day celebration. We were running 10 min late, so I specifically called to say so, and clearly inquired if the table will wait. I was just as clearly told there would be no problems. We arrive, as noted 10 min late, and had to wait for almost 20 min to be seated. If you were ever at this restaurant, there is no entry foyer, no hostess area where you can discreetly wait. You are literally standing at the front door, in full view of the diners and looking over them, sending subliminal messages to "step on it. " ( and feel they are responding "I'll go when I'm good and ready"). By the time we did sit down, we had lees than an hour to inhale our dinner and run out, to make it to the theater. Since we stick with vegetarian choices, we thought a Moroccan restaurant will be a good dining decision. We decided to take an array of apps and enjoy the "tapas" style meal with a bottle of wine we brought. We ordered salmon and hummus pizza (seemed different and exotic), eggplant & cheese lasagna sans pasta, peppered scallops, and an a combo of baba ganush, tzatziki and stuffed grape leaves. We thought 4 apps would be filling enough. We mentioned our time constraint, and asked for plates to come it as they were prepared. In he meantime, we received some sliced bread and a bean dip - which I'm 95% certain came from a can. Soon the pizza arrived: nothing exotic - a pita smothered with humus and slices of smoked salmon laid on top, sprinkled with chopped onion, slightly warmed up. Interesting. Then came the combo plate - only instead of tzatziki there was more hummus. We pointed out the mistake, and received a small saucer of tzatziki. All three items on the combo plate tasted like they were mass produced, and not home made. The scallops, described as seared with black pepper on top, truly appeared pale, more like poached, and looked & tasted like they were cooked barely enough to be safe to eat. We did not finish these. The "lasagna" was just a mush of ingredients. By this point in time we were so disappointed with the dinner, we just wanted to leave, and have dessert elsewhere. The place was too noisy (there was ~20-person party kicking off) and the open kitchen gave way to a smoky, garlicky haze to settle over the dining area. All added up to an experience best forgotten. We did ask who was the chef that evening, as Fig's web site promotes its owner as the creative chef. We were told another person was the chef that (unfortunate) evening, and he probably had nothing to do with our apps. If you go, I suggest you focus on main dishes, which, hopefully, will have the chef's touch, as my experience says apps are pre-fabbed and not worth your time or money. read more

I think I ordered the wrong thing because it looked and was pitiful. The service is super friendly and feels like a family operated business. Which also brings to light how badly trained the servers are. They are painfully slow-- I'm hungry! read more

I went to Figs with 5 others for a birthday celebration. We had a reservation but were all running late and I was worried we were going to lose our table, so I was really relieved to find the owner so understanding and our table available. We ordered the smoked salmon flatbread, veggie flatbread, Figs sampler and baked Brie for our appetizers - all very good. I had the sesame salmon and it lived up to the other rave reviews; great flavor and the sides were yummy too. Thanks yelpers for the tip! You'd think we'd be full after all that but you'd be wrong because we ordered dessert as well - the double chocolate dessert (which was more like a mousse than a brownie) and the bread pudding, which was absolutely delicious. And then I went home and passed out on my couch in a very content food and red wine coma because I love BYOs. The end! read more

The food at this restaurant was really disappointing, although the people were very nice and the decor was good. The best part of the meal were the appetizers, the baked brie in a honey lavender liquid and a mezze platter. The hummus was coarse and not great. My whole fish was fine, with a side of mashed potatoes that were a little wet. MY daughter ordered the lamb shank. It did not deliver the flavor that this dish should have. It was kind of bland. My wife had Indonesian KIng shrimp that she enjoyed and I'm glad that i did not order it because it had a very strong, unusual flavor that I did not like. This restaurant is listed as Moroccan, but has a range of different dishes. Just disappointing food preparation. read more

This is my favorite brunch spot now. The lady was very attentive and made sure my coffee cup was always filled with hot coffee. Food came out very quickly and the quality was worth every penny. I had eggs Benedict with crab cake. It was one of the best eggs Benedict I had. This is a hidden gem of fairmount everybody would love to come back :) read more

Figs - Moroccan Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Figs is SUCH a hidden gem! The atmosphere is incredible and everything I order is fantastic. I walked past several times before dining here and I regret not going sooner. Prices are very affordable and BYOB only helps in that respect. 11/10! read more

I loved Figs. I tried the dips appetizer with hummus, tzatziki and feta, everything was fresh and well seasoned. The tuna steak special with wasabi mashed potatoes was so good I stuffed myself to eat it all. The salmon was also very, very good and it was cooked perfectly. The food took a bit to come out between courses but I actually like that because it gives you time to digest and ensures you do not feel rushed. The fact that it is cash only is a minor inconvenience. The restaurant is small so it feels nice and intimate and I enjoyed the decor, think dark colors, paintings, and gold accents. I do think the prices are high for the area, and if they were even a couple of dollars lower I would come more often. BYOB is a huge plus though and certainly saves money! read more

Im still trying to figure out where the hype in the reviews came from here. The baked Brie was just not good, and I love lavender honey. There was a secondary flavor that was competing with the lavender, and the flavors did not marry well, making the lavender honey taste bitter. You couldn't really taste the Brie, either. The hummus as part of the tapas appetizer was not seasoned well and tasted bland. The eggplant lasagna was over-seasoned. The lamb shank was braised well, as it fell off of the bone. However, the lamb was under-seasoned. The duck, again, was prepared well but bland. The demi-glace that accompanied it was overwhelmingly sweet. There were some positives: -The Fuji apple and walnut salad was dressed well, and all of the produce going into it tasted fresh. -The tea was very good -Our server was attentive and polite Overall, I wasn't impressed in the slightest. Maybe we went there on the wrong evening, but I'm not willing to spend the money to go back and see if we went there on an off night. read more

Terrible. We went in to get some of their famous fig and pistachio ice cream and tea, and they refused to serve us because we didn't have dinner reservations and only wanted dessert. The whole restaurant was completely empty...after reading other reviews, it was clear that we were racially profiled and refused service because of that. Please do not support this business. Go support other local places. Don't promote their racism. read more

Cash only restaurant. Waitress didn't come until we have sat there for 15 minutes. It was listed on the menu that an 18% tip is only mandatory for groups of 6 or more, yet we were charged 18% even though we emphasized that we were not satisfied with their service. In a word, nice food, yet bad service. read more

Had a girls dinner here this past wkn and the food was amazing, thinking about it now is making me drool. This is such a cute little Moroccan restaurant in Fairmount Philly! I had a great time. 1. It's byob! Bring as many bottles as you want. However, they only have enough wine glasses for the table and so don't expect them to give you an extra glass. Weird I know. 2. The food, was amazingggggg! The portions were huge. We had the lamb shank and seafood risotto, I would definitely get both again, amazeballs guys, amazeballs. Must get! 3. Service was fair and flexible, we were 30 mins late on a Saturday for 3 people and they still accommodated us! 4. Cash only yall! But totally worth it. The prices = very affordable. read more

I walked by this restaurant and really wanted to give it a try. My boyfriend and I decided to go last night and were VERY disappointed. We were "greeted" poorly, waved to a table, and thrown menus. We were not informed of the specials nor what spread was served with the complimentary bread. When finally served our food, my boyfriend's chicken was like rubber (I've had better at a wedding buffet- that's saying something). My lamb was under seasoned and just...wet. It was tender enough, but the flavor was lacking. When we asked for a to-go box the waiter rolled his eyes and angrily walked away. When he returned we asked him what were the specials for the evening (after overhearing another table have them recited to them)- and he replied, "I'm sure he told you." All in all, this restaurant was something that I was looking forward to and it let me down multiple times. I would not recommend this place to ANYONE. The staff is rude and curt, to the point that you almost feel like they're doing you some kind of favor. And the food was sub-par at best. We've eaten at many places throughout the city, and this place doesn't deserve our business. I hope this review helps any other curious foodies- STAY AWAY FROM FIGS. read more

My friend and I love going to different BYOs every time we meet up. We settled on Figs since she had moved to the Fairmount area, but unfortunately it was snowy when we went and the roads around here are not very well plowed or shoveled. When we arrived, we were kind of surprised by how romantic this restaurant is and very quiet (almost too quiet) even though there were a couple tables in the small restaurant. We started with the tapas plate with tzatziki, baba ghanoush and stuffed grape leaves. They were served on one plate and some were different temperatures. It made me wish they were separated into little dishes or something. Nonetheless it was a good array of Mediterranean flavors. For our entrees, I got the filet mignon with gorgonzola. The meat was cooked a perfect medium-rare and the flavors went nicely together. The onions sounded exciting but were less than so in execution. My friend got the crispy duck, and she really liked the bread pudding that accompanied it. After dinner we caved and got dessert, but it was so unmemorable that I can't even remember what we chose. read more

Came here for lunch today and have never felt so uncomfortable in my life. The waiter was so rude and clearly did not want us to b there. I ordered a burger and he came back slammed a menu down and said they where out. We finished our lunch quickly and went to pay when he shouted it's cash only which we where informed of as soon as we sat down. On our way out he yells at us to close the door. I'm in the restaurant business myself and have never ever come accross anything like this. Will never be back to this establishment. Not surprised the place was so empty. read more

If you want an incredible big brunch for way cheaper than most places in a quaint little corner shop, and a sweet little lady serving you... this is your spot. I still haven't been for dinner and it looks pricier but probably worth it. For $9 I got an extremely delicious smoked salmon omlette, salad, potatoes, and toast. Also got the morroccan mint tea that was so refreshing and perfect for what my friend and I needed. Other omlettes with the same fixins were only $6 or $7 too and better quality than the places that would charge you almost double. Lucky for me, my friend just moved right around the corner from here and we will be back countless times. Need to try this lavendar brie business and any of their amazing looking entrees. read more
