The shawarma spiced chicken wings were my favorite! The wings are packed with flavor and spices similar to jerk wings! The chicken skewers are juicy and tender! Seasoned with a yogurt and lemon flavor. Pretty tasty. Staff are friendly and accommodating.

Got food from here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is attached to the Zena Hotel. It's chic and very pretty, with an art gallery and full service bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Roland served me from behind the bar and he was super pleasant and patient. The food itself wasn't bad. No real complaints. We tried the breakfast sandwich and vanilla french toast. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and the syrup served warm. A Service charge and gratuity both included, so between the two items and a side of potatoes, we spent $60. Thanks again Roland and Maria for your hospitality! read more

The Figleaf Bar & Lounge is located inside Hotel Zena. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came here for an event, and the space gave a sense of sophistication and a fun vibe, with plenty of comfortable seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food offerings were delicious, as I was able to try their butternut squash soup, build-your-own nachos, pizza, as well as some of their dips. Staff were very friendly, attentive, and really was on point in clearing plates/glasses away. The bartender made great drinks, and there were some good options. Don't forget to take a selfie with RBG before you leave!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]On ambiance alone, this place is five stars, given the location and rooftop that offers a solid escape within D.C.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For the price though, the food doesn't quite live up to the expectations. I just ordered a burger, which was filling and good but probably should've been no more than $15. The kofta was good but felt more like a salad than a meaty dish. The cost of 2 entrees and 2 drinks were over $100, which feels like a steep price. read more

We had breakfast at the fig leaf while it's staying at the Zena Hotel! The food was so much better than most any other hotel breakfasts! I had the avocado toast and a smoothie and both were so packed with flavor! It also felt so much fresher than most breakfasts you can get at a hotel. It was a bit on the pricier side, but I had a credit I was able to use. The staff was friendly and overall for a hotel breakfast, I'd recommend. read more

Amazing Brunch! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazing Artwork & Atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was my fourth brunch experience and by far my favorite. As a art enthusiast, mimosas, and food lover, I was in heaven. The bottomless mimosas are $22 per person. The food is a la carte meaning you purchase each food item that you want. I went to this location twice during our Hotel Zena stay because the first visit to the restaurant was so immaculate. I tried the Shawarma Wings, Duck Bao, and Salmon Croque. EVERY DISH.......and I mean EVERY DISH was a 5/5. Plating, Texture, Consistency, Flavor, you name it, it was FIRE!! The service was pristine, sadly this must be a hidden gem because there weren't many people during either visit, but I can assure you that they are missing out. I will be returning to this location for brunch in the near future. Hopefully I convince a fellow art lover and foodie to visit. Overall, 5/5 rating! read more

A fantastic happy hour spot with lovely vibes! My best friend and I met up here after work and adored the female-centric decor and design. We took advantage of the happy hour $9 well drinks deal and got lemonade martinis and cosmos! All were made strong, fruity, and tasted delicious. I loved the free sparkling wine I received for checking-in! The service was fast and it was clear the staff was dedicated to making us feel comfortable. Overall, this is a great place for small bites and catching up with friends over a drink. read more

Went for dinner as I was staying at the Zena Hotel in which it's located. I got a burger wrapped in lettuce and fries. The food was good... I ordered breakfast the next morning and was pleasantly pleased. The flavors were robust and everything was cooked perfectly! The venue is chic and modern... it's quiet... not many people were there on a Saturday evening, so I would say this is a great date night, especially with the artistic decor and games, such as a pool table! Go enjoy yourselves read more

Visiting here is a treat. The bar is located inside Hotel Zena. If you are only visiting the bar, parking is nearly $20. I was in the last group to leave because we were having so much fun. Figleaf prepared wonderful bites for an event I attended. The bartenders were nice. The lounge has comfy chairs and couches. Charge your phones for all the selfies you will take while visiting. You can see a great mural of RGB near the pool table. There are hundreds of buttons hanging around the venue (don't lean on them as it isn't an actual wall). This is a wonderful event space or place to catch up with friends. Metro is nearby. Bonus points for the fun gift shop. read more

Had the burger and it was beyond delicious. Highly recommend this place if staying at Hotel Zena or nearby.

Just had a fabulous dinner at Figleaf Bar and Lounge, in the lobby of the Hotel Zena. First off, the place is fabulous... and a glorious homage to strong women. The atmosphere is beautiful, and I absolutely loved the art work of Notorious RBG, made out of tampons and bullets. My BFF Kate and I had a multicourse dinner tonight and it was delicious. They've just launched a new menu, and we loved it. Some of our favorites were: - Bacon-Wrapped Dates with Cream Cheese, Goat Cheese,Chorizo, Bacon, Red Wine Gastrique -Grilled Head on Prawns, Brassicas, Blistered Tomatoes, Aji Amaraillo -Yucca Gnocchi, Braised Oxtail, Hen of the Woods, Adobo Brado, Dandelion, Smoked Peppercorn SO YUMMY! We got to meet GM, Matt, who was friendly and kind... and we particularly loved our waiter DOUG! He is great! Next time you're there, ask for Doug! read more

It was good solid flavor. The salmon was good well and super flavorful. I loved the cauliflower mash and appreciated having such a healthy option. The environment is really fun and super girl powered. We went for a bridal shower due to the rooftop pool, fun suites, and unique vibe. I don't think I'll seek it out again even if in the area due to sooo many options there but if you're staying at the hotel it's solid. read more

Ya know my meal here was so delicious I have to go back to try it again, just to make sure! I met friends for brunch and thank goodness for their valet! I initially walked in and thought it smelled funny in there but the mimosa bar soon distracted me. How often are we able to make our own Mimosas! The smoked salmon croque Madame I ordered was absolutely amazing! My friends however said they were underwhelmed with their orders. I will note that the atmosphere was perfect for catching up with old friends. Great music but not too loud! Comfy chairs and ambiance. Can't quite recall the customer service being all that endearing but I do remember that smoked salmon croque Madame! And for that reason, I shall be back! read more

Delicious meal and great service. Gnocchi was a big hit! And check out the artistic tributes to RBG!

I had the hamburger and fries, and they were exceptional. Additionally, the service was good.

I went here a few months ago for a working brunch, where we were planning our upcoming trip. This is inside of a hotel on the main level and also has a rooftop (although not open when I went). The place is really cute inside - it was bright and had some artwork. There weren't many people there so the service was good - we were there for several hours and didn't feel rushed. We all got breakfast food and mimosas and it was good. read more

Figleaf is a to-go when you are in need of an amazing cocktail after a long day of work. Personally, Nana's Manhattan is my favorite. If you are feeling snack-ish, I recommend the grilled shrimp or croquettes. My sweet tooth must is the Turkish coffee cake. The team taking care of you is very attentive, especially the manager Matt. He checked in on us to make sure everything was perfect. Figleaf is in Hotel Zena, so the space has so much artwork to look at while enjoying your cocktail. read more

Figleaf was the highly of our winter in DC. The girl power vibes, the beautiful assortment of cocktail, and the TASTY chicken sandwich can't be beat. This is the PERFECT place to have a girls night or treat yourself to a self care date. Couldn't recommend this place more, and if you visit, do yourself a favor and get the chicken sandwich. You won't regret it! read more

I had such a wonderful time at Figleaf, and Hotel Zena, what a beautiful property-LOVED all of the original artwork in the lobby. Where do I start, not only were the happy hour specials amazing, you have to get the chicken sandwich. The cocktails and dinner was great as well! The Gnocchi and Green Salad are must tries, and they paired perfectly with my Penicillin cocktail. Both the hotel and bar staff were super attentive to every detail and friendly. If you are in DC make sure you stop at Hotel Zana and experience Figleaf. It is a unique experience unlike any other I've had in the city, definitely a great place to enjoy with friends and family. read more

Went to the restaurant and it was mostly empty. We asked for a table and the host said there was no tables available. I thought that was weird because I saw there tables available on open table before we got there. So we sat at the bar and booked a table on open table. Told the host and we were seated. It also took a while before the waitress showed up (10+ minutes). We weren't sure if we were supposed to order from the bar or not before the waitress showed up. Ordered the fried chicken sandwich and there was barely any chicken. It was mostly fried batter. The only thing this place has going for it was the fries and the decor. read more

Food is pretty good, we only tried a couple dishes so I'd have to come again and try more. But these drinks! I am a fiend for complicated cocktails and the Toastess with the Mostest featured a sweet potato shrub and marshmallow syrup. Not sickeningly sweet as you might fear but had a really good depth of flavor instead. I have three or four more cocktails to try on their list and will be back. Great vibe, of course. The free girl power pins were a cute touch. read more

I came to this lounge for a small gathering with friends. There were ONLY 2 other tables that were getting serviced and assisted (with no issues), however, we had to wait over an hour, just to order drinks. When we ordered food, the wait was so long, some of the guests were ready to leave. The bartender was extremly rude to all of us, but the icing on the cake was when he questioned my friend for no reason. My friend was speaking to another guest as they were leaving. The bartender then rushed to my friend and asked what did she say to her in a sharp tone. This made her very uncomfortable during the remainder of the stay. I felt like the waitress tried her best to accomadate us towards the end, but the damage was done. No one apoligized for the behavior or the wait. I beleieve the manager should have came out and offer an apoligy to everyone for the issues we had the entire night. read more

I hadn't been here or even heard of it prior to visiting for dinner. I chose this restaurant simply because they had a reservation at the time I needed. I thought I'd take a chance and see how it went. It went VERY well!!! The drinks were delicious and the food was excellent!!! We had the Moqueca Mista, which was a special dish selected for the Valentines Day menu. It should be a permanent part of the menu as everyone should have the opportunity to try it and I'd like to have it again as well :). I highly recommend this restaurant/bar I'd you're looking for a new spot to check out. The ambiance with all the art and sculptures also make for a great backdrop. read more

So we had reservations for the place. We walked in and the ambiance was nice so we just kind of just waited for someone to greet us. No one ever said so much as hello. So I asked if we just seat ourselves and the bartender just looked up and said yes. What's the point of a reservation if you walk-in and seat yourself. Being new to the place you would think someone would explain what's going on. We sat and scanned the QR code on the tables only to see there were limited brunch options. After waiting for about 10 minutes without any attention not even a glass of water we decided to leave. read more

Service not as advertised. Some items on an already short menu were not available. Slow service and poor ambiance for dinner. Bartender could not tell types of available scotches. Will not be going back. read more
