After attending a Steven Alan sample sale with Kathy, the two of us were ravenous. Presented with several dining options (Fred 62 being the original front-runner), we ultimately decided on the French bistro, Figaro. The restaurant looked sooooo cute from the outside -- that and the fact that it was packed! We'd originally wanted to sit outside (well, I did, because I wanted to people watch -- a fun thing to do in a hip neighborhood like Los Feliz), but there wasn't room, so we set up camp inside. Noticed that were seated alongside lots of Frenchies (folks speaking French)... good sign?!
In an effort to be healthy (and knowing that I'd be placing an order for dessert), I ordered the shrimp-avocado-mango-yogurt-honey salad. Sounds gross, but it was so lovely! So amazing, that the table next to us asked which salad it was that I'd ordered. As for Kathy, she had a craving for fries, so she ordered the mussels & frites. She wolfed down ALL the fries before starting on her mussels...
Bread basket was awesome (they've got this walnut bread that Kathy couldn't stop eating--with butter, of course!)... but the chocolate souffle? Mediocre.
An overall wonderful experience. I'd definitely return.
