We are new to this area and have heard great things about this place, so we had to try! We placed a to go order and it was a little awkward. We got the order, but the issue seemed to have connections issues with the establishment, also they didn't even ask for a name to put on the order. We got there and the place is beautiful! We were definitely underdressed even with taking our food to go. Everyone was dressed up and you can tell they try to make this place "approachable high end" which felt nice. The service was friendly and quick. The food is the easily the highlight! Everything was very fresh and packed with a lot of flavor, even the side of rice. With everything together of our meal, the two wraps, the cheese Barek, and the rice came together beautifully. For everything being around $60, it's definitely worth it! I have to say if you are looking for some good Mediterranean food at a decent price, this is a great choice for you! read more

I ordered the lamb chops cooked medium, but as you can see in the picture, some parts were burned while others were raw. This inconsistency made the dish practically inedible. Additionally, the music was so loud that I could barely hear what other people were saying, making it difficult to enjoy the meal and conversation. The only reason I'm giving this restaurant two stars instead of one is because of the staff. They were friendly and attentive. read more

Went here for a second time. Had to downgrade my review this time. Our server Juan, was anything but pleasant. Almost seemed as if we were bothering him to be there. Long story short, we waited over 25 minutes for him to bring us our check and while we were waiting, another server was taking photos for a group of women and while taking this photo she not only impeded our space, she was actually in a leaning backwards position with her long hair on our table. Very uncouth. Please do better. Food was good. VERY Noisy. Not a place to go to if you want an intimate evening. Live band was amazing also. read more

I really enjoyed the live jazz band and the ambiance of this restaurant. The waiter was also very informative about their specials and the most popular items on the menu. As far as the food goes, it was just ok. I felt like our appetizer ( I forgot the exact name but it was similar to a cheese empanada) was too salty and my husband also mentioned that his entree had so much sodium in it to the point where it took away from the flavor of the food. read more

The inside of the restaurant is lovely with fireplaces and great lighting. Although we didn't show up on a day where they had jazz, it was a lovely restaurant. The service was great. He was very attentive, even though they close in an hour they allowed us to eat in peace. All 4 of us truly appreciated it !! The food came out cooked to perfection and tasted great. Their rice was the fluffiest and tastiest I've had in forever!! They only serve beer and wine which is fine with me. Oh they also serve wine based cocktails .. not something I'm particularly interested in but it would be nice for someone seeking something outside of the norm. I'd love to return again on a night that they have just to experience the meal with a jazz band. read more

I spent my 49th birthday at your restaurant with a large group of family and friends the same week you opened for business. It was fabulous! We had a wonderful time. The food was excellent and service impeccable. There was live music too which I love! That was 4 years ago and I am just now leaving a review, so sorry! Thanks for being the backdrop for a great memory! read more

EDIT: Disappointed to find the receipt included a 20% gratuity (for two) and we added another 20% tip = 40% tip!? it was good, but not 40% tip good....i find this so shady! Almost $200 for 2 people is ridiculous! Minus 2 stars. Found this place by pure luck and what a treasure it was! The Sunday eve ambiance was sophisticated and sexy with its elevated Mediterranean cuisine, moody lounge with dimmed ceiling string lights, wall candles and faux fireplace. The food and wine impressed! We ordered wine, fig & goat cheese (to die for), the dip trio and Greek salad- all 5-stars (except the pita fell a little flat-didn't taste fresh). Then the live music began... a little seductive intro and sultry songs from the big screen giving old Hollywood vibes. We lingered to listen more and opted for a dessert to split and ordered a Napoleon which was the most light, flakey and decadent sweet I've ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth. Seriously. Even the vanilla cream was so light, it left me feeling guilt-free and overall slight sedated with the entire experience. My only regret is not taking photos of the fig & goat cheese appetizer and the Napoleon dessert, both were beautifully presented and oh so delicious! read more

What a hidden gem! Tucked up in West Hills, this little restaurant will not disappoint. Nicely decorated entry way, nice big screened in patio, and nice dining room filled with twinkle lights. The blues is such a treat. Really talented musicians. Nice little stage set up at the front of the dining room. You can hear the music from inside or on the patio. Great wine selection. The food is yummy - although it overly relies on cheese to create flavor. Rich fat bombs, that are of course delicious, but heavy. We had the cheese burka. It's basically a mozzarella stick in a pastry dough. The mushroom julienne was a new item on the menu. The description in the menu doesn't describe it well. It's sautéed mushroom and onion which is then baked in cheese. Like a mushroom cheese dip. It should be served with pita on the side, but isn't. So we asked for some pita. The pita was just plain pita, barely heated. The branzino is really good. It's not a whole fish. It's 2 fillets, nicely cooked. The mashed potatoes on the side are perfect. They are the same potatoes as served with the steak. We ordered the crème brûlée. Unfortunately it was not brought out right after it was fired, so it was served with an over crisp sugar top and cold custard. The chef sent out a taste of the roast beef as a surprise. Wow. That was a tender piece of meat. So yummy. read more

I took a date here for a celebration for a special milestone and regret every moment of it. First I checked reviews and visited the Instagram page and there are advertisements of all the great live musics and good food. I first made a reservation on Open Table. I then called the restaurant and confirm the reservation and asked if there would be live music playing. I was advised that there was going to be live music. When we arrived tonight there was only live music playing on a YouTube station on the tv. When making the reservation online I selected from the drop down menu that we were celebrating. Even left a note asking if "congratulations can be written on the dessert plate (days in advance). The day of the reservation, I called the restaurant and a lady answered the phone. I told her my name and asked her if a dessert can be brought out with "congratulations" on the plate and she said it would be no problem and that she would see me in a few hours. I'm was excited thinking everything would go smoothly. When we arrived there was only 1 other group of 3 sitting. There was no one in the front or the bar so we stood there for a few moments when a young girl (maybe early 20s) came out and asked us if we had a reservation. It was literally us (2) and the other group of 3 in the entire restaurant. I said, "yes I have a reservation" and she asked me if I was sure. Once I confirmed again she walked us to our table. We ordered appetizers and approximately 15 minutes later we ordered the meals. All the food came out at the same time, including appetizers. Okay whatever. Again no live bands were there, and when we ordered dessert, there was no congratulations written or nothing acknowledging the moment. The menu isn't has Mediterranean as one would think but the food is delicious. That's literally why I'm giving the one star. Overall with this place your paying solely for the environment which is nice and gives a romantic feel. But the quality of the experience is not great. It's more of just a neighborhood diner dressed in fancy clothing. Totally my first and last time going. read more

The restaurant is beautiful the food was great the service was HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE Will never be back.The woman in the front was not welcoming and rushed us to hurry and order the second we sat down. We were one of 2 people in the restaurant. We waited over 40 minutes for the check and finally had to go search for someone to settle the check. read more

I absolutely adored this restaurant! The whole ambiance of the restaurant was amazing. I enjoyed listening to live music while eating & drinking. You have to try the trio for your appetizer. It was divine! One of the best parts of this place is the hooka bar in the back. After dinner, I spent another hour and a half drinking and smoking hooka. Yuri helped us out and he was amazing! read more

Not much into jazz but there was a birthday party planned here and went to this very obscure location located on the end of Roscoe and Valley Circle. Very tacky to charge 10.00 valet parking in a shopping mall Corner strip type place I just parked the cross the street for free. The Armenian mafia imposes its will once again. The interior is typical Armenian decor nice clean and modern furniture with colorfuul lighting. There was a dude singing some tunes mostly from the '80s he did a good job playing the keyboard at the same time. The inside is very cozy but now let's get to the food which is what matters more than anything. The appetizer crispy puff pastry cheese boreg was delicious. I also had probably the best french fries I've had at a restaurant. Unfortunately the buck stops here in terms of taste and quality. Salad was crisp but lacked seasoning. The hummus trio (only tried hummus) was flavorless, super bland. The rice was fluffy white good, but the meats were zero flavor to borderline awful. The lule (skewered grilled ground beef) was the worst, rubbery and non-existent of flavor. Chicken breast chunks dry and zero flavor. The shish kabob pieces were large, tough to chew and-you guessed it-zippo flavor. Cant recall tasting more bland food/meat in my life. Overpaid my dues and although an easy one and done, appreciated the service and ambience and tunes, so giving 3. But besides the boreg and fries, food is 1-2 stars at best, especially the main meats. read more

Was in Los Angeles for a wedding and grabbed some food with some old friends. They love jazz so suggested this restaurant. It's known for the music first and foremost. Two rooms, one where the band and singer are located, one where you are separated from the music. As we were there to talk we choose the latter. Could still hear the music but did not compete with it when chatting. Small wine list, nothing outstanding, mostly Cali reds but the price points were good. The ambiance was perfectly fine and the service was quite good. Waiter (Ricky) sounded as if his day job was auditioning for comedic script writing but he took great care of us! The food - Mediterranean based, combination of small plates and entree's. Had Baba Ghanouj and for apps. Quite tasty. For mains the wife and I went for chicken shawarma and Sambousek (meat turnovers). I know, shawarma - how boring - but it is how I judge competency and these guys delivered a solid dish. The turnover was quite tasty as was the the Ghanouj. Hummus was perfectly fine, nothing to write home about. Only four stars as the meal was good but nothing memorable. Also the pita, which they served a lot of was frankly just dull. Warmed up commercially purchased pita bread. A little oil and a short time on a flaptop would have made all the difference. read more

It is not easy to find a nice, cute little place in LA that would have it all: a substantial menu, delicious food, great drinks, kind service, ambient atmosphere, AND entertainment. All of these under one roof in a quiet corner of Canoga Park. Is this a reality? How come residents of Canoga Park got so lucky??? Live music 5 days a week. Blues or Jazz. The cover charge is so worth it, besides, musicians deserve to be paid. Sturgeon fish as a main dish is another level of dining experience. If you love and appreciate food, you will definitely find something you'll enjoy on the menu. Next time I'm trying their mushroom julienne and lamb chops. The bar doesn't serve hard liquor yet, but the bartender makes incredibly balanced and tasty cocktails anyway. It's a gift, I guess. If you feel adventurous, as I did, ask for something off the cocktail menu. My discovery was limoncello with peach and champagne, as well as some cherry drink. If I lived closer, I'd be coming here almost every night because it feels cozy and homey, not like you are in a big fancy restaurant where no one cares about you. Here, I felt really good and will be coming back for sure. read more

5 stars for the vibe and service but sad to say the food is 2 stars at best. We live walking distance down the street and had been dying to try this place. My girlfriends and I decided to have a girls dinner date night here. It's very cute, definitely a vibe. They don't serve hard liquor (beer & wine only) but I think they are in the process of getting their license so hopefully soon they'll have some cocktails on the menu. The Babaganoush was awful. Served very cold (as if it came out of a refrigerator) & it is not like a spread or a dip. It's pieces of eggplant in a strange oily base. I have a lot of Lebanese and Syrian friends and have never had baba ganoush like olive & fig serves it. No bueno! I ordered the chicken lula and one of my girlfriends ordered the beef lula kebob plate. They were served cold... we are not complainers by any means but if we are paying to eat out we at least expect a warm meal. The server was very kind, he sent it back. The chef came out to apologize & warmed our food up for us. I would say it was 5/10 very averages. My other girlfriend ordered the chicken shwarma. It was cold but it was so disgusting. It tasted like it was marinated in pickle juice and a few bites gave her a stomach ache. The quick shops like Panini kebob grill have much better quality & tasty food and that should not be the case. It was really crowded so this place is definitely a great time with the live music but I hope they do better with their food quality. The only good item we tried was the hummus. read more

Disappointed. Fig & Olive Restaurant and Jazz Bar is such a cute restaurant, but fell short on so many aspects. Service is terrible. First, our initial waitress took awhile to introduce herself and take drink orders. By that time, we placed our dinner order and never saw her again. Our second waiter shows up to check on us and take my friend's order, as she arrived late. There was no communication, in regards to the changing of the servers/wait staff btw ...only after the fact, due to our group complained to the wait staff about service. The second server checked on us, I asked for more water and he never came back (WTH?). Tsk tsk... they need to get it together here. Place was busy with birthday parties that night, but that should be no excuse for lack of and poor service. Food was a let down. I ordered the veggie wrap with fries $10.50 - fries were undercooked and my wrap didn't have all the listed ingredients, as it was missing lettuce. Only thing good, was the live music that night (was a Sunday night) and $6 for 16oz beer. Valet parking for $7 and only 1 guy working the lot, so it'll take awhile for your car. Arrive early, as there aren't many spots available for valet. Oh well ... too bad not every Yelp restaurant adventure gets 5 shiny stars ... Stay safe and healthy (mind, body and soul) Yelping out there :) read more

Hands down one of the best places in the valley. Food is so rich and delicious, service was great, and even the host was kind and welcoming. Inside is very cozy and has the vibe of a place in WEHO or LA but with MUCH less people. It was so cozy and relaxed on a Friday night at 10 pm...definitely will be returning. read more

This place is sooo beautiful, such a great ambiance. Food was delicious but very small portion for the amount you pay.....their HOOKAH IS BOMB SO GOOD! However, if they want for customers to return back they really need to work on their customer service. The gentleman that was helping us was veryyyy lost, confused and slow & didn't speak English very well. Communication was difficult with him. He needs to get train better or hire more ppl because for Thursday night dinning it wasn't even busy.. They were too slow.! read more

It has a great ambiance and service. Music was nice. Valet parking is $15, no way I gave them my car. Food is pricy but unfortunately the value is not there. I ordered Bronzino fish which smelled strongly, but tasted OK. However, I don't want to pay almost $40 for a 'OK dish'. The kale and fig salad didn't have any taste and we had to ask and add additional dressing. Filletmignon kabob was not memorable. It is a neighborhood joint which I like to support but food really needs improvement. read more

Olive & Fig has a killer ambiance. The music was fantastic when we went and the lighting was beautiful. Everyone we encountered was kind. Our waiter did seem a little lost at times and maybe a little inexperienced, but he did try to be helpful when we asked him for what we needed. I think this would be a good place to go and plan to order a bunch of food to share, instead of individual plates. We plan to go back and I would def recommend others give it a shot. This is a nice place and I sincerely hope it continues to do well. Great job. read more

On the good side, this is a lovely place, nice decor, friendly staff and a super house band playing jazz standards & a great singer Rick Jarrett, all in a nice location in the far west valley. On the other side, having valet parking in a remote corner of the valley just seems a bit.................really? The restaurant has no spirits but has a nice beer & wine selection as well as a nice mediterranean type menu. We tried their Lebanese lentil soup which was fully disappointing, watery, hardly seasoned. Pita & hummus as well as the meat Borek (little beefy egg rolls) were delicious as were the Chicken & Beef Schwarma dishes. The wait staff seems a bit spread out so they were hard to find at times but they were hard at work. Most restaurants have upped their prices, so it was a bit pricey for middle eastern food in the valley, but considering the atmosphere, the cool vibes music ............it brings it into the good, but not great category read more

On April 2nd I went to dinner with my neighbors next door. It was their turn to pick the restaurant and they picked Olive and Fig. Located on Roscoe near Valley Circle. It was new to me. It is beautiful location and setting. A modern setting for a restaurant with jazz music four days a week. The meal was pretty good. I had beef shawarma with basmati rice . The flavors of the tumeric and garlic gave it a tangy and flavorful taste. There was pita but no hummus. Service was superb. Music is not too loud if you do not sit in the same room as the musicians. Plenty of free parking. I will try this place again. read more

Service was horrible gave us room temperature water, the menu is à la cart meat $24, sides $6-$12, it's a very nice atmosphere though.

We dined there a few nights ago and I gave it a few days before leaving this review to give the restaurant an opportunity to correct their mistake. Unfortunately, they did not get back to me. Frankly, it was a terrible service experience in fine dining. The worst I've had in my 40 years of existence and I'm not exaggerating. We had a party of 6 and they all agreed. The waiter did not have the baseline service from the beginning. He wasn't empathizing about the restaurant not serving cocktails, despite the drinks being on the menu. He made no recommendations about the dinner and had an attitude about us just picking what we want. He took our order for appetizers and 15 minutes later, asked us if we need to order appetizers. We said we already ordered from him. He forgot to put in the order so we needed to give it to him again. When the orders came in, he got one of the orders wrong. And instead of being apologetic, he tried to force us to take the order anyway and make it seem like it was our fault for getting the wrong order. Our appetizers arrived over an hour after we ordered. One of the entrees was wrong and arrived 30 minutes after the rest of the entrees were served. I've had thousands of fine dining experiences and I'm not mincing my words when I say this was the absolute worst experience we've ever had with the service. Based on recent reviews, it sounds like the new ownership needs to address some things about service etiquette. I will say the food was good but not worth the service and money we spent. read more

I was there today on Valentines day. Service was horrible. No assign waiter, you need to ask 10 times simple things like napkin for someone to get. The space super crowded, sitting arrangement very uncomfortable. I been here several times last year, months ago, nothing like it. Will not be back here for sure. read more

We were a party of 6 tonight. Service was OK, as was the food. Not great, but OK. Our server actually upset me big time as I ordered a glass of wine the bar was out of. Instead of KNOWING the wine list and the current inventory, he chose to bring me a glass of something different and NOT TELL ME. And this was a veteran server; supposedly a professional? He was SNEAKY about it. He should have come back and informed me my wine choice was unavailable and allow me an opportunity to select another vintage. Speaking of wine.... Their wine list seriously needs help. Please, someone with real wine knowledge come help them! If you're going to run a beer and wine only restaurant, you better have some good wines; You'd think you would devote more time to that area of your menu than a couple dozen inferior choices. Hint: Lodi and Fairfield typically have very fruity wines that lack depth and character. Those grapes are best used for jellies and juice boxes. I can see this place doing an OK lunch as there's little in the way of "up-scale" competition in the immediate area. But, for the "moderately elevated evening out" crowd, looking forward to dinner and some music, better to go somewhere else. Ventura Blvd. is not that far away. BTW...Getting a SURPRISE credit card surcharge angered me. Notification did not exist. I'm disputing that charge with my CC company. And a $10 Valet fee? For a valet that tells you to back into whatever parking space he points to, when there's only about 25-30 spots available on their lot? Seriously? This place nickel and dimes its patrons. I definitely will NOT return. read more
