Magical from start to finish. The gnocchi à la bolognese was pillowy and rich, the amberjack with squash velouté was beautifully balanced, and the wagyu with bordelaise was truly out of this world. Dessert sealed it: sticky sorghum pudding with almond ice cream. warm, decadent, and unforgettable.
The corn soup was devine, all the dishes were delicious. Fine dining at its best. Thanks we thoroughly enjoyed our fare. Complements to the chef!
Lucked into a reservation during SEWE weekend. Bartender and service were great. The standouts were our fish entrees. Both were delucious, but my snowy grouper was my best in memory. Petfectly cooked and seasoned and an interesting preparation. We will be back!
Excellent food. Restaurant is very dark and a bit loud. With that said the food was delicious. Had to order the gnocchi and was pleasantly surprised by the simple, but delish arugula salad. Tartare app was perfect. The flank steak was tasty though a bit chewy. Enjoyed dinner.
This was an awesome meal without question. Their carne crudo toast served with truffle aioli and topped with black truffle is a dish that you'll think about, it was so good. Their menu changes often but their Bouillabaisse i was told is a staple, and for good reason. Rich seafood broth with sizeable chunks of fish, shrimp and clams. I'll be recommending FIG to anyone who's planning on being in Charleston.
Delicious meal at FIG! The service at FIG is wonderful, shout out to our great waitress, Meredith who gave us recommendations from the menu. The salads and entrees were fabulous and the real star was the sticky sorghum pudding with amaretto ice cream. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in Charleston.
My husband and I are a well traveled couple and this meal by far was one of the best we’ve had in a long time. Every bite of every dish was incredibly delicious! Ask the wait staff to recommend the must haves on the menu - you won’t regret it. Ricotta Gnocchi was melt in your mouth buttery sensation you won’t forget. I had flounder for my main dish - the outside was crunchy and delicious with soft buttery tender inside. Sooooo delicious! Our waiter, I think his name was Misso, was amazing, professional, and very attentive. I will come back here again!
Got lucky with a last minute reservation and hands down this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The food was amazing, great ambiance, but the customer service we received from our server was superb! This is definitely a must-try in Charleston.
Food Is Good, says FIG in Charleston and I couldn’t agree more. This is one of those places where you sit down and immediately trust them with your life. They know everything about fish!They must have magic fishermen! The encrusted flounder was…I don’t know how something could be this good. Perfectly cooked! You know that crunch we’re always chasing in a bite? This is it. FIG quietly serves one of the best seafood meals you’ll have and lets you spiral about it later. I rarely go back to restaurants because I always want to try new ones. This was my 3rd time going to FIG. Let that be the review. Very dark so bring those reading glasses.
FIG is one of the greatest restaurants in the United States. Came here twice in a week, once alone and once with family and could not have been more please each time. The Eggplant and Cottage cheese is a must, even if you don’t like cottage cheese or eggplant, you will walk away a devotee of both. The menu changes every day so I can’t really tell you what to order but your waiter absolutely can! The servers, in addition to being among the most hospitable I’ve ever encountered, are some of the most knowledgeable and genuinely devoted people I’ve run across in any profession. If you want low country produce, there’s no one handling it better than the team at FIG, go eat here!
