After a few days of relaxation in Palm Springs..well actually La Quinta, we decided to go out for a nice dinner at a new mediterranean restaurant called Figue. Even simply walking into the restaurant I was in awe, it was fresh and artistic. Blue lights shined on the glass walls, and some tree stumps and abstract art hung from the walls and ceiling. We started off having water, and my dad got a martini.
After we had ordered our drinks we decided to order an appetizer of warm olives. With the addition of the warm olives (Kalamatas) we were also welcomed with bread with a citrus dipping sauce, an oil dipping sauce and some cheese. I didn't have the cheese, but the presentation was nice, and the olives and sauces were good.
Next we got to order our main dishes. I ordered the "Seven Treasures Vegetarian Couscous". It was really yummy, and consisted of winter veggies, couscous, moroccan green charmoula and citrus oil. My dad had the Ahi Tuna and my mom had the halibut. We also got sides of eggplant, with greek yogurt sauce and pomegranates, and Moroccan cauliflower smothered in a minty sauce.

The food was wonderful...although my couscous was a little cold... We really enjoyed the meal but our only complaint was that the food came a little too quick. It seemed that the appetizer came out the exact same time as the main dishes and sides. Other than that we were all very happy with the food, and plan on retuning next time we make a trip to Palm Springs.
