    The Figleaf Bar & Lounge is located inside Hotel Zena. I came here for an event, and the space gave a sense of sophistication and a fun vibe, with plenty of comfortable seating. 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! Restricted and metered street parking available in the area. +tasty bites +friendly and attentive service +restricted and metered street parking available

    On ambiance alone, this place is five stars, given the location and rooftop that offers a solid escape within D.C. 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.

    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.

    A bar/cocktail lounge inside an art gallery. The wait staff is helpful and quick, and the food is fantastic!

    Amazing Brunch! Amazing Artwork & Atmosphere! 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!

    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.

    It was a cold and rainy night. We had tried to get into Allegory. It was full so we walked a few blocks and found are selves at Figleaf in the hotel Zena. We were the only ones at the bar. Shivan the bartender took great caee of us. We ordered some of the signature drinks. They were delicious. The Drunk love was particularly good. Thank you Figleaf for making a cold evening very warm!

    I love the atmosphere of this bar and lounge. Great location as hotel Zena is a great vibe. Service was great and bartender even better. As for the food, it was pretty mediocre. Nothing to really rave about. Definitely a place for good vibes and music.

    The food was very delicious!!! I'm hungry just thinking about it lol. The service was really warm and friendly. The food came out quick which was perfect since we had a full day in front of us! The ambiance was calm, relaxing and perfect for us while talking. Highly recommend! We also had a late night snack during an event that was happening in the restaurant. Despite it being busy the food came out quick. The Chicken Wings and "Not your Mom's Chocolate Cake" was all delicious!!

    located inside hotel Zena, really hip modern American restaurant. The food (burgers) was in good portion and tasted really good but I felt like the cocktails were a lot for $17. The service was good and our food came out quickly.

    Cute photo room!

    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

    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.

    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!

The food at this location was great. The red snapper with the rice and tomatoes was very flavorful. The red snapper could have been cooked a little harder. However, other than that it was great. My friend order the same dish except with salmon. She enjoyed the dish as well but also mentioned that the fish could be cooked harder. We sat at the bar so we didn't get service from the waiter. However, the service from the bartender as great. He was very knowledgeable on the drinks and the food. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of the drinks. But I ordered a smoked margarita which had a great taste. The ambiance was wonderful. It was very aesthetically please. From the flowers on the ceiling to the rooftop overlooking the Capitol it was great. The roof top provided a chill vibe with low music. It could be a great place for a date night or just a place to go to meet up with friends. I 100% recommend.

The views alone make you want to stay all night, especially as the sun starts to set over the city. We also got to enjoy live music from the band, which made the atmosphere feel even more fun and elevated. It was the perfect mix of great energy, good music, and a beautiful rooftop setting. For drinks, we tried the Blushing Orchard Martini, Capitol Blossom Fizz, and the Lavender Ginger Bloom -- all refreshing and well-crafted. For food, we ordered the East Coast Oysters on the Half Shell, Beef Sliders, and Mediterranean Tacos. Everything came out fresh and flavorful.

I think they take reservations but we were able to grab a bar spot. Are drinks pricey? What do you think? It's a cocktail bar in DC. The drinks we tried were pretty tasty, even the mezcal one which I thought was a refreshing take. The wall shows some of the drinks on the menu and the ingredients/glass it comes in which I thought was a nice touch. Bartenders were friendly but not too chatty as they were super busy but you never waited long for a drink. The bourbon drink with the whipped honey was our favorite but the gin drink that was pink was also fantastic. For food I did try the buffalo chicken dip, pretty large and tasty (not too spicy) and loved the super crisp celery and the fritos.

They don't take revelations and the place fills up fast. It's a very cute spot and feels so comfortable and fun. Our bartender was Gaylan and he was great--had great reccs, laughed with us a bit, all around great guy. The 'let me just say this' was so soo good! It tasted like a rainbow--just bright and with a really delicious after taste. I should have stopped at the rose but after my trying my friend's, i had to have one! We initially came for happy hour, but moved to the cocktail menu. The hh was a bit limited, but the drinks were priced overall pretty reasonably for the area. My one complaint is the wine glasses were so teeny. Overall though, I would recommend this bar. Bonus: cheese balls when you sit down! I believe there is also a limited food menu (think nachos) for the after work or late night crowd.

I know reservations are probably highly recommended, but we were fortunate to walk in at just the right moment and snag a seat. The seating is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening. The atmosphere is just my style, an elegant, dark, grown and sexy vibe that really sets the mood. The decor is striking, with thoughtful touches that create an inviting space to unwind. While it leans a bit on the pricier side, the exceptional service more than justifies the cost. Jordan and the team were incredibly knowledgeable about both the drinks and food menu, offering suggestions that perfectly matched our tastes. We tried two standout drinks that I can't recommend enough: the Attractive Nuisance and El Tiburon, (which is an Old Fashioned made with gin). The bartenders here clearly know what they're doing, each drink was crafted with care and precision. The good music in the background added to the overall ambiance, making it a delightful spot to spend an evening.

Ambiance: from the outside you'd have no idea that a hidden treasure awaits you up a flight of stairs. The decor was very mysterious, perfectly dimmed, and sexy. They added greenery near the hostess station to create what I would describe as an exotic/jungle vibe. This area also contained a beautiful small bar and a few cozy seatings. Next, the hostess led us to a table inside where the magic of candles, cozy tables, and intimate booths immediately meets your eyes. Did I mention that we sat in most comfy green velvet chairs in our cozy booth? How sexy! Service: our waiter, Jordan, was the best! He provided great service and recommendations. However, shoutout to the rest of the staff because it was truly all hands on deck. Drinks: the bartender is indeed a mixologist! There is no question of the magic he created in a glass. Her drink- I ordered the Attractive Nuisance, an elevated spritz. The drink was perfectly balanced with flavors to include G.H. Mumm Champagne, Avua Prata Cachaca, Cocchi Americano, Saffron, Vanilla. I literally tasted all the flavors in the drink and the liquor ratio was just right. Of course I went with another round, you simply have to try it understand why I did. His drink: El Tiburón-Let's just say that he said that this is now one of his favorite cocktails because it was smooth! Small bites: the kitchen was out of mussels and their famous donuts so we decided to try the Franks en Crute, the sexy adult version of pigs in a blanket lol. Such a delicious treat, well balanced flavors giving both sweet (flaky puff pastry) and savory (well grilled wagyu beef). Definitely recommend. The music was perfect for the evening! The bar was filled with all matured folks enjoying their group meets or dates, the atmosphere welcomed all. As I stated earlier, this has now become a regular on the list and I'm excited to visit again.
