e had an early dinner around 5:30 pm since it's the only time they had for reservation. Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable on the drinks and meal menu. The inside of the restaurant was nice and has the dim romantic light setting but not a modern styles. The appetizers were great and our dinner was good too. Their dinner portion is quite small so be ready to order different appetizers before your dinner but the food is good! read more

This place was a meh for me .... Mind you I only got dessert... the dishes that I did see come out seem a little over rated in my opinion. Seemed to be over priced average food. As for the dessert I ordered... "Sticky Sorghum Pudding"? ... not sure where they came up with the name but it was cake; the cake itself was dry & it was served with a literal 1/2 scoop of ice cream... If they gave a full scoop it would have helped with the dryness of the cake ... overall flavor was like a 3. I think they were attempting to lure people in to the it was Gordon Ramseys sticky toffee pudding ... but they missed the mark big time!! Nothing else looked appealing on the menu or in the Yelp pictures, which is why I only came here for dessert. But wasn't impressed with that either. Would suggest devoting my time elsewhere. read more

We were in Charleston just for a weekend. We were waitlisted for a table at Fig and got a table last minute. Great atmosphere, and meal and service were excellent. Had the charred eggplant with cottage cheese for an appetizer. Sounded odd to me, but it was amazing!!! The bouillabaisse was the best I have ever had anywhere. My husband had grilled triggerfish, and he said it was wonderful. Would definitely recommend Fig to anyone. We were so lucky to get a table. Tried a few weeks earlier but nothing was available. Go to Fig--you won't be disappointed. Make your reservation as early as 28 days out. You'll be glad you did. read more

Ahhh I so wanted to love tonight but....it's ridiculously expensive and the service was terrible. The food was so tasty, but stodgy bread with pate?? No sides with a tiny piece of fish for main course. Extra long wait between courses and a waiter who never really checked up on us! A hostess who probably lied about the delay. Ruined my valentine (and diet) read more

FIG is soooo good and worth the hype. We had an awesome waiter who helped walk us through the menu. The ambiance was upscale. The food was just delicious. It's not really a tasting menu situation. There are a few items on the menu that never really leave and then there are some newer items. We went with staple items of the restaurant that have been on the menu for like 20 years because we wanted to try what the restaurant is known for which I think was a phenomenal choice because the food was just exceptional. You must go!! Book your res in advance. It fills up! read more

Food IS Good! And so is FIG. We've been 3 times over the past 17 years and it has never failed to truly wow me with inspiring, creative, and delicious food. Tonight's visit was no different. The rudderfish crudo was mind expanding, and I had to stop myself from licking the sauce off of the spoon. The gnocchi were pillowy light in a delicious lamb bolognese, and the lamb was perfectly braised. Also words that have never ever come out of my mouth before: I love these prunes and rutabagas. I thought I knew these foods, and knew that I hated them. Why do they taste so good at FIG?? I'm thinking they use magic. Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable (and maybe a little too attentive?). Ambience is nice, although maybe a touch too dark after the sun set. But the food is the real reason to go there. Because the food is pretty amazingly good. read more

FIG stands for Food Is Good, which I just love. Quaint, cozy, kinda dark but in the best way....FIG will quickly draw you in and make you feel special. Attentive and knowledgeable staff, beautiful and thoughtful food....i would happily go back again and again. Late night meal for us so we just ordered drinks, entrees and dessert. We got the mustard crusted swordfish (they had me at capers) and the cast iron wagyu bavette. The wagyu wasn't as tender as I expected but the flavor was deep and rich and it was cooked perfectly. The swordfish had all the elements I was looking for it was bright and fresh and just the right bite everytime. The sorghum sticky pudding with amaretto ice cream was lovely. I loved it. I really want to go back and just sample all the desserts because that chocolate budino sounded really good. Solid, classic and always a great meal.....love FIG! read more

Really enjoyed this spot. I stumbled in on a girls' trip not realizing it was supposed to be a Big Deal, so I didn't have any expectations beyond hoping for yummy food. The dining room was beautiful. I love a place with low light. We had a passionate, fun waiter who explained basically every single dish on the menu and said each one was his favorite. Who could blame him. We all had cocktails, which all looked beautiful but weren't very good, I'm sorry to say. We also ordered the gnocchi, oysters, cottage cheese, Yukon gold puree, young arugula salad, shrimp scampi, and steak and shared it family-style. Everything was truly delicious, although I remain skeptical on the prices. If you're going to charge $20 for a salad, I sincerely hope it's because you pay your staff very very well. Overall, I'm glad we had the experience but if I come back to Charleston it wouldn't make the top of my list to try again. read more

Over the years I've been to FIG multiple times. Chef Mike Lata is a friend of a friend so we love to support him here and at the Ordinary. Our most recent visit in Nov 2023 was for a girls night dinner and a chance for me to share my big news about getting ready to be a first time home buyer! We were at a table in the back this visit. It fun to sit up front in the bar area or the back dining area. Over this visit we ordered two drinks each. We shared three apps, two entrees, and one dessert. Three best bites of the night for me were from the lump crab spaghetti app (Amazing!!!) and the country ham app, as well as the bouillabaisse. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, if you find yourself in CHS, make reservations for FIG. read more

FIG is one of those special restaurants that you can't find most places, and we're lucky enough to have one here in Charleston! This impeccable restaurant has some of the best service and most excellent food in town. We've been here a handful of times and it has consistently blown me away. Their menu changes nightly to whatever is in season, but you can get a good idea of the menu by looking at the couple of nights before. Make sure to get reservations if you want to ensure you have a spot! I've heard of a few folks walking in to get a bar seat, but they open reservations at noon exactly 4 weeks before online- no kidding, I dutifully set a timer. The actual restaurant isn't huge but is very quaint and intimate with that high class vibe. This time, we ordered the gnocchi bolognese (highly, highly recommend) and the broiled oysters as appetizers. The gnocchi is a nonnegotiable for us and all of the other appetizers have been spot on with flavor and portion size. I ordered the wreckfish and my husband ordered the schnitzel. Both were outstanding and we asked for extra bread to make sure no sauce was left behind. All of the food is flawlessly prepared and beautifully presented. They have a generous wine selection with beer and cocktails as well, so sit down and stay a while to enjoy your incredible evening! read more

This Charleston staple has been around for a long time. They hardly need my review because clearly their reviews speak for themselves. However, I wanted to say that my dining experience at Fig was spectacular! The Bouillabaisse was amazing. And our server recommended the Ricotta Gnocchi + Lamb Bolognese for an appetizer. It was so flavorful. I do not have one negative thing to say about Fig. It was crowded but reservations go fast. We luckily booked close to a month in advance. Service was incredible. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who visits Charleston. read more

There is a lot of hype around this place and I am always a bit skeptical. Is it really that good or is it just, trendy. Let's find out. For starters, we had the Broiled Steamboat Creek Oysters with green garlic, preserved lemon and Calabrian chili. WOW! So, our server told us they top the oysters and the. It goes in the broiler for only 15 seconds to melt the lemon and out yet come so the oyster is still raw. An absolutely fantastic dish. We also had the chicken liver pate. I was hoping for a duck pate as chicken can sometimes be boring. Not here. This was so great and creamy, you didn't even need the toast points. I. Fact, I was glad we ran out. It was delicious on its own. My wife had the ricotta gnocchi in a lamb bolognese. This is a starter option but a perfect entree size for her. The gnocchi stuffed with ricotta were clouds of flavor. I am not big on lamb, but this was mild and did not overwhelm anything on the dish. I went with the Duroc Pork Schnitzel. I knew this wasn't a standard schnitzel when I ordered it. It has a delicious cider vinegar, chicories and sliced cornichon sauce. When they coat and fry the pork, the grate a small amount of horseradish on top. This dish was nothing like any German schnitzel I have ever had and I would order it a dozen times if I could. The pork was a bit thicker than traditional schnitzel but I was cooked perfectly and still juicy. And the sauce, my goodness, I would have licked the plate if not in public. Finally, my wife wanted a taste of something for dessert. I don't know if I was full or just still savoring the schnitzel, but I said I would only have a bite of something. We ordered the Sticky Sorghum Pudding. Now, if you haven't had sorghum, it can be delicious or overpowering. It is served with a scoop of amaretto ice cream. My wife ended up having the bite or two and I demolished the rest. What an outstanding dessert. This doesn't feel like a fancy fine dining restaurant inside. It was nice, but not what I would call pulled together. When you enter they stand you across from the bar and offer a cocktail, but it felt crowded here. The other thing worth mentioning is they had some wonderful wines that paired well with dishes. A shout out to our server Lauren. She was really pleasant but was also able to articulate the dishes and their preparation. She is a stand out! FIG is definitely worth the hype. I will say this, Charleston has a beautiful cuisine that it is known for. FIG is a step away from that and more a culinary adventure which is great if you want something different during your visit. read more

FIG - Vegan dish - New American Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

The best meal I had in Charleston. Really hard to get early reservations. I reserved 2 weeks in advance and the earliest reservation I saw was for 9:45PM, so make sure you book at least a month in advance or whenever the reservations are released or eat a late lunch like we did. The menu varies so whatever you see few days before might not be in the menu on the day of your reservation. I noticed that most appetizers and some of the entrees remained the same. We ordered the ricotta gnocchi + lamb Bolognese, the lump crab spaghetti and the cast iron wagyu bavette. The dishes were all shared and the staff was kind enough to split the entrée in two plates. We also got mocktails and a citrus panna cotta for dessert. Everything was exquisite. The gnocchi was very soft, pillow-like and had a good amount of sauce. I just wished they provided bread to dip it in the sauce. They were very generous with the amount of crab on the spaghetti as well. From the 2 appetizers, the lump crab was my favorite. It had a touch of lemon and crunchy bits of bread crumbs. As for the entrée, delicious! the meat was tender, cooked medium rare. The dessert was outstanding! If you get a chance to try it, do it! Perfect balance of sweet and sour. Just thinking about the meal I had at FIG makes me want to go back to Charleston. Amazing food, highly recommended! read more

After watching about 10 videos about the BEST restaurants in Charleston, we decided to try FIG. We made our reservation and were very excited. When we arrived, the front entrance was difficult to find. When we entered, the hostess stand was between two tables that guests were dining at. Quite strange. It's ridiculously dark with red mirrored walls. It reminded me of a brothel in an HBO tv series. We were a party of two seated at a table for six even though there were several tables around the room more suited for us. The menu reminded me of how Gen Xs ate in the 1980s. Too many tiny things on huge plates. We started with the tartare. It was served with burnt potato chips. The tartare was tasteless. Because of this start, our excitement was gone. We decided to leave and find another place to have entrees. The only reason I am giving FIG 2 stars is for the service. Our server was exceptional. He tried like crazy to sale the silly menu. We will not return until the menu or chef changes. read more

We were fortunate enough to walk in to two available seats at the bar, otherwise it's essential to have reservations, because one doesn't want to miss this experience while visiting Charleston. We had incredible tasty bites, a brioche covered fish, and whatever else the bartender suggested. It was one of those experiences where we were consistently blown away by what was presented. The cocktails were also fabulous. Cozy spot! read more

Ok, straight up. The food is good. No doubt. The service by our waiter was also very good. Here's where they failed: Upon walking in, one person slipped on a wet/buttery floor as they passed the kitchen door, which is required to get to the seating area. Hit the floor hard, as in two bruised knees, one bruised tailbone, and a visible knot on one knee (half golf ball sized). A bus boy was gracious "are you ok?" That was it. The assumed manager asked, on our way out, after dinner, if anyone was hurt. Our response? "Yes, quite hurt and painful". That was it. A complete failure. At the very least, a visit to the table to offer ice packs, or ask if any intervention was needed would have been appropriate and kind. Instead, we got the "we don't want to get sued so we won't even acknowledge someone got hurt" vibe. A restaurant of this caliber deserves better. The food was better than good, it was excellent. The service was attentive and accurate. However, details, such as someone hitting the floor on their way to the table, should be given a much higher priority. Unforgivable in my opinion. read more

Fig serves a wonderful dinner. We started out with chicken liver pate, baked oysters, and the nine vegetable salad. All of these were excellent appetizers. I need to figure out how to make that salad at home. Then, I had the bouillabaisse for dinner, which was incredible. And, we shared three different desserts that were all good too, my favorite being the sticky toffee pudding. Service was top notch, friendly, and helpful. You know that they know what they're doing when they break out the crumb comb. If you are in Charleston and want a fancy, gourmet meal, give Fig a try. read more

Great food and great service. Would recommend to everyone. The setting was brilliant as well!!

I struggle to think about what rating to give FIG. First I must emphasize, this is a 100/person restaurant. Were the dishes we had tasty? Yep they were. We got the ricotta gnocchi, snapper, and the bouillabaisse. Finished with the panna cotta dessert. What I can say is that the gnocchi was supper fluffy and you can barely taste the potato. The ricotta wasn't too rich and the ragu sauce helped add a punch to the flavor. Ranks really high on my favorite gnocchis. The bouillabaisse and snapper? They were good, but I didn't quite see why it was $50/per good. Was the bread in the bouillabaisse well done, yep, but just not enough for me to justify the purchase. The panna cotta had some fresh fruit and basil slivers on it and it was a very nice balance of sweetness, tart, and freshness as a finishing dish. Overall, I think if you want a nice vibe, don't care about cost, and want something on the healthier side, this place is probably for you. However, if you don't fall in all of those buckets, I just don't think it's worth at the price point. read more

Having researched restaurants prior to going to Charleston for a few days, FIG stood out as one that my counterpart & I HAD to go to. And boy were we glad we did (and relieved that we managed to snag one of the last reservations on Resy for that evening!). It was fantastic, definitely held up to its high praise. The waitress was so kind, attentive, really made you feel "at home." The food-- we split several appetizers & then each had a dessert-- was appropriately unique yet comfortably recognizable. Alas I only took a picture of the okra. The dessert-- I had the chocolate budino--finally had some chocolately richness to it that other places seem to shy away from. 10/10 would recommend and 100% would go again! *They change their menu so there's always something new!* read more

We were lucky enough to get a 5:15 reservation on the day of. This place did not disappoint! We were seated promptly and our waiter, Jonathan, was incredibly detailed and was very helpful explaining the menu to us. They take great pride in seasonal menu items and it shows in the quality of the food. The steak tartare, chicken liver pate, and chicken al mattone were all incredible. Per Jonathan's suggestion, we had the tomato tarte tatin as a dessert and it was excellent. The panna cotta was also exceptional. Definitely recommend!

We were greeted by friendly and enthusiastic faces. Sat immediately, although we were 15 minutes early. Justin promptly came over and introduced himself, poring water and giving us menus. He was great, making wonderful recommendations and was so attentive. The entire restaurant followed a white glove service (minus the gloves), Justin was meticulous about being on top of when we needed refills, changing out silverware and removing dishes as we finished. Fig has a fairly small and refined menu, that being said, we still had a hard time deciding what to choose. This is where we lent on Justin. We decided to share the Gnocchi Lamb Bolognese to start, the lightest and most melt-in-my-mouth gnocchi ever, the sauce was thin & didn't over power the little pillows but was absolutely perfect. If licking the place was apprapro, we probably would have! I decided on the Jumbo Flounder en Croute ~ cooked to perfection, sitting on the most delicious clam chowder with peas and tarragon. My friend got the Bouillabaisse, full of sweet Carolina shrimp, tile fish, local summer vegetables, served with fresh brown bread. Although I couldn't finish my meal, I did have a bite of the cream puffs, filled with a custard type light cream. We ended with cappuccinos. Our experience was nothing but amazing, Fig will now be another "go-to" restaurant, next time we visit! Definitely give it a try. Great place for a date, has a nice bar if meeting friends, they also have a great seating area for larger parties around the corner of the restaurant (I'd have never have known if I hadn't gone to the bathroom) I had read reviews where people complained about the price, yes on the higher end, but all in all, you get what you pay for! read more

Changed plans to dine here based on a recommendation. So happy with that decision. Such an excellent meal. Such exquisite flavors. Ordered the gnocchi and the bouillabaisse. Both excellent.

The ambiance was full of southern charm and eclectic decor, it was AMAZING! The service was spot on with Zack and his suggestions were literally MOUTH WATERING! The oysters were SPECTACULAR and the Yellowtail Tuna Crudo was so so PERFECT. And the Gnocchi was one of the BEST dishes I have ever had, the lamb and sauce mix with the gnocchi was rich and light in every bite! You have to try it for sure. The martinis were chilled to perfection and the Bouillabaisse was an excellent way to finish our meal and it so so full of so many flavors and last but not least you have to try the Roasted cacio Pepe Cauliflower which was EXTRAORDINARY.... Fig is the BEST restaurant in Charleston and we have to go back there the next time we are here! read more

What an exquisite place! The sign at the front stated that FIG = Food Is Good. At this place? It certainly is! Our server (Dana) was very knowledgeable of the history of the dishes, and drinks that paired well with them. They do have a sommelier available to assist in selecting appropriate wines to coordinate with meals. We opted for the well-reviewed ricotta gnocchi. It definitely has earned its reputation, with its silky texture and pillow softness. The bluefin crudo was also light and a nice palate cleanser for our next course. Our mains consisted of the wagyu dish and the bouillabaisse. The wagyu was fork tender (cooked medium rare), and the bouillabaisse was bright and full of flavor. We were way too full to have dessert, but if we were to return, we would need to try the sticky sorghum pudding with walnuts and amaretto ice cream. See you next time, FIG! read more

You know you picked the right place to eat when you tell locals you're eating at FIG and the first thing they say is either "it's amazing" or "it's the best." FIG stands for Food is Good. Having now dined at FIG, I can say wholeheartedly that it warrants such praise. The James Beard Foundation recognized FIG for Best Chef Southeast in 2015 and Outstanding Wine Program in 2018. We had an awesome server named John who had worked at FIG for three years. He was super knowledgeable about the menu, preparation and was there when we needed him. When I asked John how he would describe the menu, he said it's Mediterranean seafood cuisine. The only negative about the evening was the restaurant was a tad warm. The A/C was not keeping up with the outside temperatures and the full house when we dined. For starters, we went with the signature Gnocchi, Morel Pasta and Tomato Tarte Tatin. For entrees, the Bouillabaisse, Pork Schnitzel (two ordered this) and the Wagyu Bavette. The Gnocchi, Bouillabaisse and Pork Schnitzel were all described as "the best I've ever tasted." Guess we don't need to say much more. The signature Sticky Sorghum Pudding and the Early Peach Sorbet were a perfect ending for a perfect evening. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Charleston. The brioche crusted fish is a repeat favorite.

This place lives up to all the hype. Reservations open up four weeks in advance at noon on Resy and they fill up quickly. I got in a few minutes after noon and there were only three slots open and since I wanted a later time it was ideal. The restaurant is located right on Meeting Street on the northern end of the French Quarter. Our server was attentive and very knowledgeable. They really care about the sourcing of their ingredients. Even their cocktails. After the server greeted us and explained FIG's ethos we picked out drinks. I got the Three Bee's and my partner got the Fig Fillthy both expertly concocted. The three bees was interesting for a bourbon based drink as it definitely had a tropical touch to it. I tasted the fig filthy too and it was dirty but in a good way as the brine was well incorporated into the drink without being cloudy. For a starter we shared the Wagyu Steak Tartare and it was divine. The wagyu had a nice subtle beefy taste and it was soft but still had that tartare chop so you didn't miss that texture. The frisse added more texture and was more sweet than the bitter. What put this dish over the top was the slivers of black truffle which added umami to the bite. I never had real truffles before so it was a great experience and it's not at all like truffle essence that you get in truffle oil - the flavor is more refined. We followed the tartare with the snapper crudo. The plate was beautiful with meaty chunks of snapper. For our main we were able to split the bouillabaisse with a slight up charge. This is the a must dish if you're visiting Charleston as it has tons of local seafood. Carolina white rice is so good too and the broth was very filling and tasty. Since we had a great meal we ended with our main. Prices are on par and I found them to be good value for a restaurant that has been acknowledge by James Beard. Cocktails were $15-20 so price accordingly. The tartare was $35 but it wasn't a typical tartare with Wagyu and black truffle so worth the premium. The crudo was about $24. The main was $44 with only a $4 up charge to split the dish and we were satisfied at the end of the meal we didn't need desert and just ended with a second round of drinks. With tip we spent a little over $210. That's good value with a memorable lifetime experience. I've spent way more in Austin for over hyped restaurants that serve mediocre food. read more

This may have been our most favorite dinning spot during our weekend visit to Charleston! It was pretty hard to get a reservation (booked 3 weeks in advance and could only get 10pm on Saturday) but we'll worth it! We arrived early but were invited to sit at the bar for drinks, which we usually wouldn't but we figured we might as well given the beautiful ambiance and decor. Immediately greeted by staff, very attentive. Seated at our reservation time. Service was great! Knowledgeable and friendly waiter. But of course the FOOOD was the major highlight. We started off with what they noted to be known for, gnocchi. It was very large, soft like a pillow filled with cheese and just melted with flavor in your mouth. For entree my husband had the sea bass, which he enjoyed. I got I think it was a wagyu cut of some sort of steak? Very flavorful, tender, juicy! We ended up getting an extra appetizer because of how delicious everything was, which was a beef tartare with these delicate potato like crisps. Ended the night with a delicious pair of strawberry profiteroles. Presentation, food, and service gets a double thumbs up from me! If you're going to pick a place that requires early reservations, THIS place is well worth the try. read more

FIG was quite good, but for all the hype, I'd say it disappointed a little. The other top notch restaurants in Charleston were more memorable. That isn't to say FIG isn't excellent. It is. But I had these really high expectations since everyone told us we couldn't miss FIG. It was very good but not that good. read more

Delicious! You definitely need a reservation though. The servers and waitstaff were so professional and thoughtful. We got the ricotta gnocchi with bolognese which was absolutely divine. The bolognese was dish-lickin good and the gnocchi were very light and fluffy. We also shared the burnt eggplant with cottage cheese and sorghum bread. The burnt eggplant gave me middle eastern vibes and was very delicious with the cottage cheese, though it was slightly acidic. The sorghum bread was soooo good. I love me some good bread. For the entrees we shared the bouillabaisse (they even split it for us which was kind) and the grilled triggerfish with a chicory salad. We really liked the bouillabaisse but I'm not sure if I could've eaten the whole portion for myself. Same for the grilled triggerfish. The chicory salad was nice but the cauliflower was super acidic which was overwhelming at points. The triggerfish had a meaty texture which was good. For dessert we got the chocolate pudding which was perfect! Dark chocolate pudding with a coffee creme and caramel on the bottom. My husband thought the caramel was too sweet but it was fine for me hehe. We felt the food was elevated and executed well except for some of our minor comments. We would definitely come back again. read more
