The best lox West of the Mississippi!! If you are from the New York area and live in Los Angeles, this should be your final stop for Fig's handmade lox! I don't know how they do it and I don't understand how this secret has been kept. No other deli within thousands of miles can even come close to compare!! LA's biggest hidden secret!!!

Went in for Sunday brunch with the family including young ones. Great service all around and attentive. Checked on us regularly. The meal was great, and even better with the ambiance. The pictures of the restaurant on the review are perfect, exactly as we saw it.

They are still killing that happy hour game! New pics added. My friends and I try to go when we can get there by 5pm (that part is important!) and you have to be OK sitting at the bar.

The FIG is such a cute little gem located inmthe heart of Venice right on the strip. We walked past the Fig and the first thing we noticed was the decor which was decorated with flowers and it was beautiful. We kept walking and then turned around because we couldn't get this restaurant out of our mind, we stopped in for a few drinks and appetizers. We settled on chips and salsa and a half dozen oysters plus a glass of champagne and an espresso martini. the chips and salsa and guacamole were delicious the chips were hot and fresh. The oysters were delicious and were accompanied by a horse radish vinegar sauce however I love an extra spice so asked for Tabasco and they brought this amazing habanero sauce that went good with it. This restaurant also offers brunch, lunch food but we' still had a lot of Venice to see so only had appetizers. I would definitely come back!

It's lovely but truly, it's for tourists and business folk. Went for brunch. Food was fine. Service was great! Environment is lovely. But menu is extremely limited. For a brunch. And you are basically paying hotel prices. I was given a gift card to use at FIG. There was $ on the card remaining when my husband and I were done. I gave it to him.. thinking he would use it with a friend. Basically, it's just sort of there. Not terrible but not wonderful. I don't think he's been back. They did validate parking at the hotel which was nice!

We came here for happy hour and to have a business meeting, and wow the food is so good. I forgot how much I loved persimmon but the Persimmon and Burrata is fantastic. The shishito peppers, the broccolini, and the rosemary fries were also all very good. But man, that Persimmon and Burrata is going to show up in my dreams. I am thinking of incorporating persimmon into so many things now. Our server was so sweet and warm. I felt like a VIP during my whole time here. They helped me with my parking (the valet is quite good here), and tracked me down here also. I was a little freaked out, but this is what good service looks like. The ambiance is romantic and intimate, making for a nice night out with my colleagues who also happen to be really good friends of mine. I know where I would like to go for future happy hours.

Nestled in the Fairmont Hotel, this restaurant didn't disappoint. The atmosphere is that of a French Brasserie with beautiful black and white tile and marble tables. Plants hang overhead adding a summer greenhouse ambiance. Although windy and cold the day we dined, (the glass walls and heaters kept us warm) we can see the typical configuration is for the walls to be open, overhanging the pool. It's a stunning venue. We ordered breakfast, Chilaquiles and the Lemon Ricotta pancakes. The Lemon Ricotta pancakes were the best pancakes I have ever eaten. I never even added syrup because they are perfect by themselves. Light and airy, I could only eat half of the portion as it was generous. The Chilaquiles included egg and chicken and the dish has quite a kick of spicy heat, be forewarned! The service was impeccable as you would expect at a Fairmont Resort.

I have been back a handful of times now for Fig at Five and it never disappoints!! Menu has been adjusted for the season (I think) so we tried the Persimmon Burrata which honestly reminds me of some meals at Michelin star restaurants in Paris. Just wow! Lamb bolognese is just mouthwateringly good. Very tender meat and al dente pasta. Yum! Scallops were also just next level. Incredible buttery texture and the flavors were nicely balanced. Thai peppers, coconut flavor, and mint gave it a very Thai infused flavor which I loved. Again the plating and use of flavor here also reminds me of Paris. Service is as always top notch and friendly. This time, someone came around and provided bag holders to those with purses -- such a nice touch!! Whoever this lady was, you made my day :) Of course, ambience was lively yet cozy. I will be back again soon.

I wanted to hate this place. $38 for 2 eggs, bacon, toast, and potatoes? Come on. I will say right now I was wrong. The food here is some of the best I've had in California. The service here is some of the best I've had in California. We stayed here for my 40th Birthday. I was hungover nearly everyday and with my kids. It was messy but fun. I didn't want to walk far for breakfast. Walked out of my bungalow and to the Fig was awesome. The scrambled eggs and hollendaise here are incredible. Pair them, dip them, love them. The sausage is ok, deep fried so it's meh. I had breakfast here twice and both ranked 5/5. My Birthday evening, after our dinner we came here to have some final drinks. That included Macallan 18 and muscles. The muscles here were bomb. So lucious, so fresh, so soft. Prices are steep, but the food and service here are just so damn good. My friend brought breakfast burritos to the bar when I was chowing on eggs. The bartender offered him an array of sauces versus giving him crap. If budget and financials are not in the picture this is your place. You'll love it.
