Some of the best food I’ve had, with excellent, extremely professional service in a cozy, unpretentious setting. That’s not a common combo! Loved it. We had a large group booking two tables with lots of late changes, and the staff were very accommodating and responsive via email. We also asked for bread refills way too many times, but our server was so nice and never hesitated to bring them.

We had a wonderful dinner at Fig. It had a huge reputation to live up to and it did. Getting reservations here is a challenge, you are competing not only with other diners but reservation scalpers, which I only learned as we tried and failed to get reservations here - they were gone within minutes of opening for the weekend slots. We were successful for a Tuesday dinner slot. The options are mostly fish entries, with one pork and one beef dish. We both had flounder and it was excellent. The appetizer of egg ravioli was spectacular with a perfectly runny center. The apple tart for dessert was very enjoyable. The service was friendly and attentive. The work of getting a reservation here was worth it.

Chase was our server and he was extremely knowledgeable of the food the restaurant culture, and just an overall good guy. My son and I had the wagyu tartare, the country ham platter which was okay, I had the pork schnitzel, which was tasty but very small. My son had the grouper which was amazing along with the pureed potatoes and the dessert Chocolate Budino was unbelievably good. Overall it was a very tasty meal I've been waiting a year to visit I was expecting to be wowed, They did not disappoint I just need to adjust my expectations overall excellent meal highly recommend.

The first time I went to FIG was a few months ago and was with friends visiting from NYC. There was six of us in total. We somehow lucked out with getting a table on a Saturday night with the same day reservations.(but don't do that) lol! Book ahead if you're not a local.

Our experience at this local staple did not disappoint at all. Starting with our lovely server Elizabeth who guided us first timers at the restaurant so well. She was very pleasant and made the experience with her recommendations of her favorite dishes on the menu all so enjoyable.

The food alone was so DARN good! We ordered literally everything on the menu and no dish stood out over the other. As hard as that is to believe, it's the truth. We left very happy and very impressed.

I went back last week, with another friend visiting from out of town. This time it was just two of us, and we sat at the bar. Again the service was amazing and the food was STILL so darn good. Consistent in every way! Thank you for great food!

This is my second time here and it’s always excellent! Our waitress was super knowledgeable about the dishes and asked the kitchen about the preparation of certain specialty ingredients for us. My boyfriend got the Six Finger Jack cocktail and it was amazing, one of the best cocktails we’ve had. The lamb bolognese gnocchi was so soft and meaty, the wagyu tartare with the crispy artichoke on top was delicious, the pork schnitzel that I dreamed about for months was just as I hoped it would be, and the sticky sorghum pudding was to die for with its amaretto ice cream. This is everything I hope for fine dining and better than all the Michelin star restaurants I’ve been to.

South Carolina

Gå inte hit. Maten är inte utmärkt men priset är högt. Jag förväntade mig att det skulle vara mycket bra på grund av priset. Min huvudrätt är SLOW BAKED GAG GROUPER. Fisken är inte färsk och hård. Så besviken!

Jag satt i baren för en sen middag på torsdag. Bartenders var bra gå över menyn. Jag var inställd på att få ricotta gnocchi och de rekommenderade tryckarfisk som huvudrätt. Ricottan var perfekta små kuddar av ost. Bolognesesåsen hade god smak. Jag har aldrig haft eller hört talas om triggerfish men jag rekommenderar det starkt. Det såg ut som svärdfisk. Grymt grillade marknader och köttiga men ändå skurna som smör. Den riktiga stjärnan var tomatbuljongen. Portioner för en fin restaurang var ganska bra. Jag beställde 2 rätter och det var gott om mat.

FIG, en akronym för Food Is Good, har levt upp till sitt namn sedan 2003. Årligen rankad bland de ledande restaurangerna i Charleston, South Carolina, har det varit en James Beard Award Mottagare under ledning av ägare / kock Mike Lata och ägare / manager Adam Nemirow. Beläget på 232 Meeting Street i hjärtat av centrala Charleston och en go - till destination för trendiga matgäster, är det öppet från 5 till 10 : 30 tisdag till lördag. Säkert har dess popularitet inte avtagit sedan sist jag smakade på menyn innan covid. Vid detta tillfälle började jag med ruccolasallad med basilika, pecorinoost och schalottenlök och vita räkor med butterbean, babymajs, gurka och tomat. Till min förrätt valde jag briocheskorpad flundra med sallad, österrikiska ärtor och kronärtskockor med Yukon Gold potatispuré med gräslök och brunt smör. Till efterrätt tackade jag nej till de vanliga misstänkta till förmån för en ny twist, Sticky Sorghum pudding med amarettoglass. Utsökt. FIG.

Ett av mina favoritställen i Charleston. Servicen är lika imponerande som maten. Du kontrolleras ständigt på IT trots att det är en olägenhet. Maten är fantastisk.

Wow! Även om vi inte hade planerat i förväg med reservationer, hade vi tur att komma in på 17:00 för middag. Vi satt i baren och hade bra Service från Ian. Vi hade ett par olika fiskrätter och vi blev inte besvikna! Fikondesserten var fantastisk!

Som alltid - FIG var fantastisk - maten är alltid så underbar - körsbärstomat tartin var utsökt och de är alltid så bra på att göra något speciellt för min partner som har en alliumallergi - de gör allt för att göra honom något han kan äta och njuta av! ! En av våra favoritplatser!

To kvällen den 25 juli. Varje bord bokas och sitter vid 5 : 45 . Servicen var enastående. . . personlig, uppmärksam, påträngande, kunnig med rekommendationer. Mat och dryck enastående. Vårt bord med 4 beställer varsin förrätt... bouillabaisse, schnitzel, grouper och flundra - alla älskade sin. För appar delade vi Gnocchi och Tomattårta Tatin. Allt var utsökt!

Detta var mitt andra besök och det var lika bra som det första! Lauren var vår servitris och hon var stor! 

Förrätt val var bränd aubergine och keso. Så gott. 

Jag fick Ricotta Gnocchi + Lamb Bolognese och den var jättegod! 

Bara ett bra ställe att besöka för en god middag.

Vi satt i baren. Bästa beslutet... att gå till FIG, och sitta i baren. Fantastisk mat. Pratade med personalen. Chattade med ett par bredvid oss. Pratade med ett par på andra sidan. Hade en riktigt bra tid, njöt av det mycket. Negativt. . . det rekommenderade vinet var inte min favorit och från utsidan trodde vi att det inte var öppet. . Bortsett från detta... FIG är bäst.

Har besökt Charleston i över 25 år och kan inte fatta att vi har FIG har inte varit en destination. Underbar men mycket intressant meny. (Inte för den kräsna ätaren) Min fru och jag båda hade Gray Trigger Fish (hade inte hört talas om det) och det var fantastiskt. Vi delade till
Kokta ostron i currysås och kycklingpaté. Olivolja och Pistaschkaka delas till efterrätt. 
Lämna inte Charleston utan att besöka FIG. (Inte en lätt Reservation)

Kvaliteten och smaken på maten här är top notch tillsammans med servicen (Johnathan var vår servitör). Vi åt räkembeche till en app, bouillabaisse och briocheskorpad flundra till förrätt och pistageolivoljetårtan och chokladen Carmel budino till efterrätt. Varje rätt hade flera lager av smak som hatten smälte så bra ihop. Min man majsmjöl pannkakor och jag håller med om att detta var vår bästa måltid när du besöker Charleston, det var dyrt, men kvaliteten var värt det. Vår server var så kunnig i all mat samt vin. Skulle komma tillbaka och rekommenderar starkt.

Vi började vår måltid med de stekta kvinnliga ostronen. Det var en väldigt unik rätt. Den hade en lätt currysmak men var inte så överväldigande att man inte kände smaken av ostronet. Ostronen var utmärkta och toppade upp all curry med brödet som tillhandahölls. Jag har schnitzeln. Den var vackert tillagad och hade mycket mer färg på tallriken än någon schnitzelmåltid jag någonsin ätit. Det var också utmärkt. Den hade en något briny smak och vinäger smak var närvarande men inte övermäktig. Min fru fick briochen skorpad flundra. Måltiden var mycket smörig och krispig. Båda måltiderna ingick i vårmenyn och var mycket uppfriskande. Vi avslutade vår måltid med olivolja pistaschkaka eftersom vi inte gillar super rika desserter. Kakan var väldigt smörig och inte alltför söt. Frukten och marscapone ovanpå lade till precis rätt mängd sötma. Allt vi åt var fantastiskt!

Maten på FIG är fantastisk! Vårt första besök var förra året. Att vara från utanför stan, vi ville komma tillbaka och vi var inte besvikna! Från baren drycker till maten, allt var utmärkt! Jag är inte säker på om SC är i våra planer för nästa år, om så är fallet, kommer vi tillbaka! Vår server Jonathon var så hjälpsam och personlig! Ge honom löneförhöjning!

Otroligt! Den bästa måltiden jag har haft i Charleston och servicen kunde inte ha varit bättre. De nio grönsakssallad och gnocchi var enastående. Bra cocktails också.

Maten var helt utsökt, drycker var bra, och servitrisen var fantastisk. Denna restaurang rekommenderades av alla vi talade med och det gör ingen besviken.
