Blue Fig Signature Dish
Allison C.

We've been curious about Blue Fig Garden since they opened, so my husband, mother, and I came for dinner on a Wednesday night. It took a little bit to get water, and I was surprised that they bring over bottles rather than tap. They did apologize several times for service delays as they said it was busy. Ultimately, all of the food we had was delicious. Perfectly cooked meats, and I really loved the tzatziki and the fig and feta flatbread. Fun glasses for the juice drinks too. If they can nail down the service this will be a great spot!

Food was amazing! I went for lunch with my parents. Food and drink tasted fresh. Our waitress was so sweet! They don't rush you or expect you to be in and out. Very pretty inside!

The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful inside, creating a welcoming and elegant dining experience. Every dish was presented beautifully and tasted just as good as it looked. I tried the mixed appetizers, Fig Garden Salad, Blue Big Signature Dish (the kabob platter), and the lahmacun! It is a great new addition to Southbury, and I hope to see it continue to grow. I was disappointed to see some of the negative reviews, but hopefully the team can work through any early challenges and create a more consistent experience for all customers.

Good day Yelpers! I used OpenTable to make the reservation which I love doing. This evening we sampled the fare at the Blue Fig Garden in Southbury, CT. The facility itself is Turkish and "BYOB". The Fig is nestled in a shopping plaza, in an upper scaled area. Upon entering the establishment we were "greeted" by a very un-entertained looking young lady, not much personality or welcoming attitude there, but I digress. (.5) We were led to our table in the spacious and tastefully decorated facility. Walking by everyone's tables I glanced in to see how their foods looked and I got even hungrier. Upon being seated, we waited roughly 10 minutes with plenty of staff walking by without saying a word before I made uncomfortable eye contact with who I assumed was the owner, when he finally came over and asked if we'd been helped yet. (Strike-1.5). As the owner started walking away to get someone to help and waiter finally approached and asked what type of water we wanted, sparkling or flat. No introduction or nothing.. ok...... (.5) I was unaware that it was byob and asked for a wine menu... luckily there's a package store nearby. I returned from my walk with a bottle of wine and was given a cup for my wine. Not a deal breaker, but also not very classy. We ordered a tasty dip platter with all the hummus and tzatziki we wanted. Points for presentation and flavor, which made up for the lack luster attitudes we'd received thus far. To be quite honest I was ready to leave because of the wait time on the initial contact. The rooms humidity wasn't much different than outside, which by the way was pretty uncomfortable. Maybe the A/C was broken, idk. There was an abundance of fruit flies all around which was not cool at all. Anywho, the meals came out, I had ordered a meat platter that was just perfect. The meats were tender and flavorful. "Thank God"! I finally asked the waiter what his name was well into the meal. Kadir my friend, you work for tips. Time to level up my guy. You're saving Grace was that the food was top tier. I really love Turkish, Mediterranean food and I will give the fig another chance but y'all need some fine tuning on the customer service side. I've been to Sultans many times and If I had to choose a Turkish spot to go to, I'd probably choose them based on the customer service, and I really don't like Waterbury. There's some food for thought. Do better. See you all again.

Beef kabobs and baba ghanoush.

Service was great! My waiter was attentive, helpful... and the food was excellent. I ordered the baba ghanoush. And beef kabobs. Cooked to a perfect medium as requested. So tender and flavorful! So many healthy choices too. Highly recommend. I'll be a regular.

Drinks: strawberry, mandarin/mango/strawberry, mango, lime juice, & cappucino

*3% fee is added when you pay with a card. *no tap water offered - only sparkling or still. *gratuity added for a 6 person party *sandwiches not offered during dinner, cannot get a gyro for dinner We had made a reservation online in advance & got notified that the restaurant would call us to confirm it. When we got no call, I called to ask if they had our reservation. They told us that because they were overbooked our online reservation did not go through. We were able to be accommodated, yet we were seated right next to the restrooms. When our server came over, she told us they may be able to move us but we never moved. I also had to re-explain the reservation situation again because she was telling me a different story than what happened. In comparison to other reviews, our service was rather attentive which I appreciate. We started with the cheese phyllo rolls which were probably the best things. I had the stuffed grape leaves which were weirdly cinnamon flavored but good with tzatziki. The falafels had good flavor, but came with a weirdly nutty sauce. My sister got the beef kabobs which were disgustingly dry & inedible which we had to return. We asked for sides of mayo and had to ask like 3 times. She ended up getting the chicken kabobs which were much better. Would recommend telling them a temperature on the beef kabob if possible.

The food was excellent. The service was great. The ambiance was okay, little bright. Almost cafeteria like

Strawberry Lemonade -

Decor & seating were very nice open style - comfy and stylish. The service was ok , NOT great ! The food needs help ! The food falls flat ! No pun intended - for 3 hummus your given 9 tortilla chips that were burned and tasted bad, even tho waiter said they're freshly made and seasoned. The fresh made pitas were good , but plain , no flavor, no seasoning no flavor, just warm & fresh. The flatbread pizza was very good very flavorful! We asked for a side of olives thinking they'd be great and were given 5 black canned olives in oil ! I ordered a strawberry lemonade and received a glass of concentrate lemon juice - beyond consumable ! I had to ask for water, and stated I can't drink it. Staff ignored smiles and walked away. Nice concept but needs help to survive.

Stuffed falafel. The lettuce garnish is as presented, scattered on plate. None had been eaten.

Presentation is nice. Both mine and my husbands' napkins had dried food particles on them (utensils rolled in napkin). I kindly asked for replacements and we were brought a stack of paper napkins. The hummus trio, including a hummus of avocado, looked exposed to air (grayish hue on a portion of the hummus). The hummus trio was served with approximately 8 triangle -shaped 'chips', not nearly enough for approximately 6 oz. hummus. My husband asked for more, never came. Alcohol is not served. Chicken wrap my husband ordered came wrapped in tin foil, like cafeteria style. My husband grew tired from chewing the chicken, as it was tough like jerky. I ordered cheese-stuffed falafel as an appetizer. It arrived after my entree salad. My salad was a beet salad with goat cheese and was 80% arugula, accented with beets and goat cheese, as well as pistachios. Cheese stuffed falafel tasted ok, however there was only one tiny 'chunk' of cheese in each, like 1 cubic centimeter. It was barely detectable. The bill was $78.00 for 2 poor appetizers. a wrsp, a salad, an iced tea (no fruit offered or present), and Aqua Panna.

Atmosphere was bar none amazing!
Alex K.

Amazing service and really cool ambience. The service was top-notch, but the food was the star. Loved the Adana dish. What a delight. It transported me to an exotic place. Our new favorite place!

Three of us had brunch there for my adult son's birthday…read more Restaurant was busy but we managed with a table usually for two. The service was perfect. Son ordered a Benedict meal and my vegan daughter-in-law and I ordered veggie quiche. Our only issue was the high noise level. There was a huge baby shower in the side room and the restaurant was completely filled with happy, chatty diners. We'd happily return in a heart beat.

service was GREAT! Lea did a great job serving-an intuitive server or maybe great training & taking…read moreher job seriously as a professional. couldnt have asked for better. the presentations were unbelievable. & everyone raved. i had a crepe & CB Hash on the side. the hash was probably nest ive had in a very long time. the crepe was impressive but doughey, & tasted more like a cheese quesadilla than a crepe. it was good however, i know what a crepe should taste like. light. good mouth feel. not like a quesadilla-i have my own mexican spots that i can go for that. you want a great crepe, go to Choupette in New Haven. this 1850 house has a very warm & seasonal feel & they do make you feel comfortable. i was confused by many people talking about this place. some csll it the 1850 house, some call it the brunch house & the humoungous wood carved mimosa glass @ the entrance gives it away, however, i wish they would come ip with one name as i thought people were tslking about 2 different places. i know the Southbury community lives their own code for it. but please make it easy on all of us & use a specified name. def worth the trip. when the presentation meets the taste its definitely worth the trip. i also think the bar is an underutilized treasure. in this elderly community i cant see it being open late but i would go for the bar alone. its comfy & unintimidating. and omg, i almost forgot the dessert menu! i had the flourless choc torte. my dad & other guests had fifferent variations of the cannoli sslections! suberb!

Thanks to fellow helpers, we found this restaurant…read more Went during the week, and it wasn't busy. Just one other couple in the main dining room. Several couples at the bar. Had to wait a few minutes for the hostess, which gave us an opportunity to view their decor. Main dining room is actually divided in two but was spacious. Waitress immediately stopped by to get our drinks settled. She was welcoming and friendly. Their menu had a lot of choices, so we just ordered the fried calamari to start. In the meantime, she brought warm rolls while we decided on entrees. Saw photos of their hamburgers and knew my husband would love it. I had a hard choice between the hangar steak or seafood linguini . The calamari came out, so I went for the linguini . The calamari was so Good! Some of the hot peppers were also fried , so be careful. Had a bite and was choking, but just ate more calamari. A winner! Entrees came out and both were so good! My husband was so happy. His hand cut fries were so good too. Cooked exactly as he liked, with Gorgonzola for the cheese. My linguine was really good too. Had scallops and shrimp. There was so much pasta, I couldn't finish. Took it home. Unfortunately, no room for dessert, but I hear their crème brûlée is good too. Have to try it next time. Service was really good. Our waitress checked on us quite a bit. Checkout didn't take long either. In all, we had a terrific meal and good time. Can't wait to return. If you're interested in a good night, stop on by.

I had leftovers for the next day. It was very good but again, the gouda is rich. They put it in the middle of the omelete. Nice pieces of bacon on the side and I ordered gluten free toast. My other friends got the fried chicken sandwich and the lamb burger. No complaints but I can't speak too much about their dishes. Just make sure to come hungry if you're getting the omelet.
