Hostess and assistants were amazing. Server seemed disengaged and irritated, but as if she weee having a very bad day. Food was good overall but was barely warm.

Perfect for a date night, special occasion or friend/ family dinner. Amazing food and great ambiance. Kind of experience but worth it

We were very disappointed in our dining experience at Fig & Olive. The main reason was the food. We ordered two appetizers that were inedible. The octopus was heavily breaded and deep fried, served with cold potatoes in an unappetizing sauce. When is Mediterranean octopus served deep fried? The sauce on the flatbread tasted like pure tomato paste with limp vegetables. The manager took back our food and gave us a second order which was now warm but equally unsatisfactory. His efforts were appreciated but the second round was just as bad. We did not eat the food and he was nice enough to take it off our tab. We did not stay around for an entree and left without having eaten. The only reason I gave this restaurant two stars is that the ambiance and service was good. The manager tried to remedy the situation but did not compensate for the fact that we left hungry and needed to find someplace else to eat.

The server was very nice but very poor very disappointing based on some previous experiences that we’ve had and other restaurants that you would think were on the same level:

They had our seat ready and an alternative (we didn’t know if we were going to end up with 6 or 7 people until last minute) right away. Both our server we and host went above and beyond. Great brunch!

Our server Daisy was wonderful!

Daisy was the absolute best waitress! She got to know us as a table and realized that we were celebrating a lot of different accomplishments/life events as a group and went the extra mile to get us a special dessert from the kitchen. She was overall just so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The food, as always, was very good. We’ll definitely be back and hope to have Daisy as our waitress again!

Things have changed . How could I expect them to be the same or better?

This was a great dinner for a special occasion. Expensive, but great food and great service!!

Good atmosphere and good food selections. Fantastic service. Our server was super attentive and checked in with the kitchen to accommodate our late request after the kitchen is closed. The manager of the night introduced himself to us and checked in after we finished our food. Great service. The place is very spacious and we liked how it was quiet and everyone’s sitting far enough from each other so we can enjoy our own time and conversation.
