FIG, an American bistro, achieves something rare and almost impossible: A rustic yet refined cuisine that is both a favorite of the local community and a coveted destination for world travelers. FIG, located in Santa Monica at the Fairmont Miramar, is a neighborhood bistro committed to fresh, seasonal cuisine. The menu features diverse Southern California bounty, sourced from multiple weekly visits to the local farmers markets and from specialty foragers that comb the coastline for hard to find items.

Great restaurant for a weekend brunch or dining in the neighborhood.

HOW IT WORKS:

Phase One - we get enough support to go forward. We take a non-refundable deposit - this is not the cost of the dinner approx. will hold your space. Should the dinner not hit the minimum - we will refund your purchase. Should the dinner continue, deposit is forfeited if you do not complete the registration.

Phase Two- we have reached enough reservations to go forward and have signed the agreement with the venue. Event is now rain or shine and no cancellation policy is enforced. We open 1 bottle per guest - maximum 15 guests/15 wines (minimum). We always aim to under promise and over deliver - and bring back of wines should we have an issue; but our policy is that corked wine can and does occur - see our policy - one bottle per paying guest, and price of dinner is not predicted on any one wine remain in place and are accepted at deposit.

For some events, we will offer companion tickets (please inquire - they maybe sold out at this time) (only available with a full price companion - you will share their wine)

Once we reach the minimum - we issue invoices that need to be paid inside of 48 hours. Deposit Price of the event includes tax but does not include service and 3.5% credit card fee.

===============================================================

Our Policy

All tickets are non-refundable. We can adjust your menu for dietary needs up to 72 hours prior without any additional cost. Wines can change without notice, failure or corked wine at the dinner does not result in any type of credit or refund. We open one bottle minimum per paying guest, and can reduce the total number of bottles being opened so that the dinner does not have to cancel should ticket sales not reach the minimum. Fewer bottles equals larger pours - you will get the same quantity of wine and we always open the best wines for the quality of the event. Cancellation due to illness is not allowed, you may however take food to go - or assign your seat to someone else without fee. The perishable nature of our product requires no cancellation, no credit, no refunds for any reason - this is like an airline flight or Dodger game… once it goes, its gone.
