FIG Restaurant – Opened February 3rd, 2009

The Fig Restaurant at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica, named after the enormous 100 yr. old fig tree on the property that I remember quite vividly, having spent a great deal of time at the Miramar as a young boy when my grandparents took up temporary residence there, which stretched into several years while they looked for a house in the vicinity.
John P. Jones, a silver magnate, built an estate in 1889 on five acres of land above the cliffs where Wilshire Boulevard ends and named it “Miramar”.
It seems as if the Fig Bistro has mimicked the menu of of the successful Anisette Brasserie on the Santa Monica mall to a certain extent.
Fairmont Miramar guests may call for room service around the clock or rendezvous at the Koi Pond Lounge for cocktails or soon at The Fig restaurant for California brasserie cuisine.
Enjoy the California Brasserie featuring a Cruvinet and Charcuterie area. The menu features delicious dishes with ingredients from local Farmers Markets to ensure only the freshest produce is used.
The parklike grounds add a wide selection of venues flanked by lawns, fountains, and waterfalls.  ocean-view balconies, and private saunas. Guests may call for room service around the clock or rendezvous at the Koi Pond Lounge for cocktails or The Fig restaurant for California brasserie cuisine. Or use the hotel’s Lexus SUV, to head for the new Miramar Beach Club, where butlers attend umbrella-shaded lounges and furnish Boogie Boards, volleyballs, soft drinks, snacks, and a full beach menu.
