Hands down, some of the BEST Persian food I've ever had, and I'm Persian, so believe me when I say I know good Persian food! I grew up eating Persian food and still eat it all the time, so my standards are pretty high. I've been to Sebastian's/Fig and Olive more times than I can count, and it never disappoints! First off, the restaurant itself is absolutely adorable! It's cozy, quaint, beautifully put together, and has such a warm, inviting vibe. It's the kind of place you just love spending time in. I actually met the owner years ago when he had another restaurant just down the street, which has since closed. His son also plays soccer with one of my friend's kids, so there's a little personal connection there. What has always stood out to me is how personable, humble, and genuinely kind he is. You can tell he truly cares about his customers, their experience, and providing excellent service. Now, let's talk about the FOOD! My absolute FAVORITE dish is the Chinchin Shrimp! OMG, THE SAUCE!!! I could literally pour that sauce over a bowl of pasta and live happily ever after until the day I die! LOL. It is THAT good! The kebabs are absolutely amazing, the lamb shank is incredibly tender and slow-cooked to perfection, and I also tried the white fish, which came with the most delicious creamy sauce. Every dish I've had has been packed with flavor and prepared beautifully. I seriously cannot recommend this restaurant enough! Between the incredible food, charming atmosphere, and an owner who genuinely takes pride in what he does, this place is such a gem. Do yourself a favor and try it at least once. But consider yourself warned... once you do, you'll probably find yourself making excuses to come back a few times a week! Absolutely LOVE this place! read more

I ordered the chicken kebab, it came with two sides, the website listed it at $18. When I picked up my order, I was charged $28. I mentioned that the website still showed $18, but I was told that it was no longer the current price. The food itself was good, but I was disappointed by the price discrepancy. If the price has increased, the website should be updated so customers aren't surprised when they pick up their order. $28 for such a small plate is simply too much for what you get. read more

Ended up here since they had a few vegan options. Unfortunately it's on a street with a lot of vacant storefronts. I'm always questioning places when I'mthe only one there..but eventually They had a steady stream of people...so that's always good to see on a Thursday night. The server was really prompt and helped me decide on the lemon chicken. Great choice! Was served with a cover so it was piping hot. Really nice and tangy with a side of veggies and potatoes. The hummus had a beautiful presentation. 3 kinds on a plate with pita/cucumber/onions. The potatoes had a strong rosemary and garlic herb topping and a dipping sauce that was like a spicy mayo. Parking was easy on the street...free after 6 and verrry reasonable per hour... I can't totally remember but it was about $1.75 an hour.. sooooo cheap!!! read more

Small restaurant with a great vibe. Nicely decorated and cozy. The menu items were interesting and the best beet salad. I would go back for that. The kabobs and pasta entrees were a good size portion and everyone enjoyed their selections. Our server was very busy and worked solo but still managed to make us feel welcomed. No corkage fee too as they do not have their license. I would recommend you trying this local restaurant read more

A cute place! Inside was so well themed I loved all the plants that we were surrounded by. Service was a bit slow, but it was busy inside and there was only 1 server. Food tasted great. Will have to come back to try more! read more

Sebastian’s Mediterranean - Tzatziki and Hummus player - Mediterranean Near Me - San Pedro, California

We have been coming to Sebastian's for a few years now and the food is always good. Everything was tasty about dinner tonight expect for when we got the bill. First off the prices were higher than what the menu said. Lambs chops said $29 on menu but on the bill we paid $34. The chicken and beef combo was a dollar more. It' comes down to the principle of the matter and getting the price on the menu not an inflated price. Also as I was trying to pay I was being watched over and over and then a $15 dollar credit came up . The waitress ran over and cancelled it right away said it was an error, made it hard to believe. For those reasons had to knock off a couple stars my review and so they are aware of this. read more

Stopped in for lunch today. The Baba Ganush was a terrific appetizer choice and quite plentiful. Mani was our gracious server. We ordered entrees with my wife ordering the ground beef kabob plate and I had the gyro plate. The presentation of each dish was very nice. The ground beef kabob was quite different that the beef koobideh my wife was used to as this is more of a Mediterranean recipe than middle eastern. The gyro meat was not prepared the way I am used to as the texture seemed a bit overdone. As a chef back in the day I am a foodie with a keen eye for detail. The rice was very good as were the potatoes. The pita bread was fresh ans plentiful. I would try them again as the menu is extensive and worth another go. Recommended read more

Now, their food is EXCEPTIONAL!!! This is more about being trapped on a peninsula and businesses thinking they can gouge us. Very disheartening. $22 for this. Lettuce, (no Parmesan) and a few croutons, doesn't even fill the container. WHY??? The rest of their food is fabulous. Also a slight comment on the person working, not the nicest. No warmth, no real reception. Basing their energy on my energy.thats a NOPE! Hospitality calls for more than that. You're hosting, act like it. read more

The food is really good! Amazing Mediterranean cuisine! We loved everything, from the appetizer to the main menu. Shish kabob melts in your mouth, chicken kabob is really tender and juicy, luleh is a favorite as well. The service is awesome! She's very friendly and attentive and made us feel comfortable. Great customer service, it's beyond we expected! We made a blind decision at first to dine in but WOW it's the BEST! Dine in by the beach in San Pedro, ambience is really good and very welcoming. It's definitely a hidden gem! Would recommend this 120% Will dine again!!! We're very happy with a full tummy! 5 stars read more

I really was looking forward to trying this place for a really long time and when I went with my friends to order take out the customer service was not there. I don't know if she was just having a bad day or what. The lack of eye contact and acted like as if we were annoying her with the questions we had about certain things in the menu. It was our first time. Finally when our food was ready I told her thank you and she said nothing back didn't even look at me or a knowledge me. I finally said something to her I asked her is she was having a bad day. I told her how her treatment towards us wasn't welcoming and her attitude changed fast she started apologizing and even followed us out the building around the corner still apologizing. She kept apologizing that she was sorry that it was just so busy but honestly it isn't an excuse to treat your customers this way. Food was ok but we were not surprised when we open the bag to see there was no utensils for our food. We are locals for 40 plus years we won't be returning. read more

Meh.....unfortunately my experience of Sebastian's is hit or miss. Today i spent $42 on a chicken kebab plate ($22), hummus ($12), and a side of vegetables ($5). I called in the order and should have asked more questions because the hummus was not a side but appeared to be an appetizer. The veggies were only a few grilled vegetables when he said it was a "2 skewers" of vegetables. The plain hummus was seriously watered down (check the pic). The side of veggies did not appear to be 2 skewers. And the $22 plate of chicken skewers was not tasty or worth the value. I gave 3 stars because I have had good experiences here before. read more

I haven't been here in a while but I do need to come back! Mediterranean food is one of my favorites and there aren't very many around town. I have been here a handful of times and each time I have loved the fiord and the service is usually pretty good. My favorite is the shish and koobideh combo.The meat is seasoned really well and everything is yummy. I will come back! read more

Found this place via yelp and got there around 440 on a weekday and the place was pretty empty. We ordered the Koobideh & shish kabob combo and not only both meats were super delicious but everything exceeded expectations. From the shallot in the yoghurt and the rice we figured the owner(s) should be Iranian like us. I think this place im underrated and we would def go back. A small suggestion would be possibly asking guests how they would like the kabab cooked. I am a rare meat eater but since the shish kabab is very well marinated (i think it has a yogurt base or sth similar) a little more time on the grill would've done magic. Saying this because my friend who accompanied me doesn't like med/rare meat and she was telling me, wish i told the server for extra cooked. Overall great experience. read more

Sebastian's Mediterranean Cuisine has quickly become one of our favorite spots in San Pedro. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The staff made us feel right at home. For lunch, we ordered the sampler platter, and it was absolutely incredible. Every bite was packed with flavor and seemed to melt in your mouth. The variety of dishes gave us the chance to experience so many different tastes, and each one was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with care. The papas bravas, wings, and appetizers were all outstanding, and the warm pita paired beautifully with everything. The lentil soup deserves a special mention--it was rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. It tasted homemade and was the perfect start to our meal. read more

Walking past this place and you would never know the magic that lies behind this Mediterranean gem. When we stepped in we were warmly greeted by Mani and sat in what felt like a Greek garden. The decor is lovely and welcoming. We ordered the sampler because we couldn't decide on the wide variety of appetizers that they offered. We went with the chin chin shrimp, the hummus sampler, the roasted brussel sprouts and the domas. All were exceptional but the domas were the best I've ever had full of flavor and a must try if you're at this place. We then went with one of the specials which tonight was branzino with a lovely lemon herb sauce and the Hercules plate which is a sample of gyro shish meat. The special was bright, light and lovely just like our server. The Hercules was generous and a great way to get a taste of what this restaurant can do. Overall, if you love Mediterranean food, you will fall in love with this place! read more

Imagine turning a customer away and turning down the opportunity to make $18 for my coupon that expired 2 days prior? Especially in this economy where people are spending less money. If they are penny pinching customers like that I would imagine that they are penny pinching on the food they purchase also. Lowest quality? Crazy... read more

Excellent food in San Pedro - both appetizers and entrées are worth trying. Stopped by this evening with family, and we each ordered a dish to share. All the food was good, but the following three stood out. (1) Chicken Wings ($14) - flavorful and juicy, marinated to perfection and served with "just right" spicy sauce and thick creamy ranch dressing. Polished off in less than 3 minutes. (2) Sebastian's Hummus ($12) - three types served with warm toasted pita wedges. Everyone found a flavor they liked - garbanzo, roasted bell pepper, or red beet. (3) Lemon Chicken Skillet ($19) - cooked to perfection with a tangy sauce to die for! We also ordered Moroccan chicken and Lule sandwiches ($15 each), which were good, but didn't crack the top three. Service was attentive, and while our table was cramped and right next to the kitchen, we didn't mind because the food was so good! Will be back! read more

I was looking for clean food to eat on a Sunday and drove toward San Pedro out of curiosity. Most stores were closed, but I saw this Mediterranean place with its doors wide open. Just looking at their menu made me drool over the meat and traditional presentation. I finished my meal happy and completely satisfied, like a kid! Plus, the Turkish coffee and tiramisu were a perfect match. The service was great--I forgot the server's name, but I loved that she encouraged me to take photos before I dug in. I'm definitely going back. Overall, a 5-star experience for me. read more

Went to Sebastian's Olive and Fig for a early dinner on Saturday. It started with a carafe of mint flavored water on the table. Ordered the Gyro plate, I was expecting a Gyro sandwich, what I received was Gyro meat with slices of pita bread on basmati rice with appeared to be saffron with marinated cabbage pieces on top of the plate. I would have liked pickled turnips instead. It came with two small amounts of tzatziki and a homemade spicy sauce. The service was good and ambiance very nice for how small the building is. Although a unisex bathroom with a urinal was a bit much! I don't think I'll return, it looks like they don't offer pricing specials and the prices on the menu for the amount of food you get, I've had better experiences at other mediterranean food locales! read more

I can't believe how delicious this place is! It was on the pricier side but worth every penny since I've not tried Mediterranean as good as this before. We basically tried a sample of their kebabs (not on the menu but we asked). Their lule and lamb chops are the best and I love that they came out with a hummus appetizer too. Incredible food! My mouth is drooling as I write this. I gotta go back asap! read more

As a long time customer of over 5 years, I am sad to report that something had changed here, and not for the better. First off- the Moroccan Chicken Sandwich used to be one of my favorite sandwiches in the world. It had the juiciest, most succulent, tender chicken with a generous amount of aoli and veggies. The sandwich I received today, -while did have a generous amount of chicken- was dry and chewie. The flavor was ok but not like it used to be. Veggies were fine, but not like I ad come to expect. Second- my GF ordered a side of Greek salad with her filet kebob (the Kebob was actually really good), but the "Greek salad" was 90% kale and just a few bits of tomato and cucumber. This was NEVER the case before from Sebastian's, we've ordered their Greek salads many times over the years and they were proper and excellent. Btw who even puts kale in a Greek salad? Their menu says nothing about kale? Wtf? Lastly- as a previous reviewer noted- their hummus appetizer has also gone downhill. Before it was amazing, rich and delicious. Now it's just a small step up from store-bought hummus. A bit bland and watered down tasting. I usually would never spend this much time on a review, but here in SP, in spite of their being many restaurants to choose from, there's very few real gems. It to mention- a kebob plate, a gyro sandwich and an appetizer to go (no drinks) for $60 ain't exactly cheap, even in this financial hellscape we now live in. Consistency is so important for small restaurants like these, or I suppose any restaurant. It's fine if they want to change things up a bit, but at lease update the menu read more

The food was good yet small portions for the price. Service was good and the ambiance was great!

First of all, Manny, she is hands down the sweetest server ever. I always enjoy being in her section because she just gets it. Super kind, attentive, and makes you feel taken care of every single time. You can tell she actually cares, not just going through the motions. And the FOOD... specifically the chicken kebab plate. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best I've ever had. The chicken is so tender and you can genuinely taste the difference, it tastes clean, fresh, like real organic chicken, not that artificial flavor you get at other places. I always get it with the green sauce and pita, and it's honestly fire every time. Ambiance is perfect. I love the small outdoor tables. If you go, ask for Manny and get the chicken kebab. You won't regret it. read more

Wow. Just wow. First off - the ambiance. The restaurant is so cute and quaint. There are real and fake plants everywhere, the music is nice, and it's just so elegant yet approachable. Secondly - the service is just superb. Brian (Bahram) the owner is so kind, patient and helpful. Lastly - and most importantly - the food. The food is just top-notch. Each dish is so tasty, priced reasonably, and a well-balanced meal. I ordered the combo and still was able to take half of it home. It's of the highest quality meat as it's Halal; you're left feeling great afterwards. My new favorite restaurant! read more
