Food was excellent. There was only 1 server for this small restaurant, and he was a little too busy, but very professional and gave good advice. Cannoli was served with chocolate sauce, which I believe is a mistake.

It is a wonderful small restaurant with personal service and high-quality food. The swordfish was very good, and the duck was amazing. The decor provides a nice Middle Eastern flair. Highly recommended. Also, they were perfectly accommodating with bringing our own wine.

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.

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!

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.

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.
