We stopped in Friday night (7/21) without a reservation and sat at the "community table"! What a great experience! Of course the food was outstanding! I ordered the gnocchi with lamb bolognese sauce as an appetizer. I thought I had died and gone to Italian Heaven! So delicious, a cloud of happiness. My husband wishes he had ordered that. He had the burnt eggplant and cottage cheese with toast. It was different but fine. My entree was another appetizer, pasta with lemon butter garlic crab sauce. Another dish to die for. My husband had the amberjack with polenta which was extraordinary!! If you get the chance go there and sit at the community table if u don't have a reservation!!

We spent 4 days in Charleston and hit as many of the 'musts' as we could, but Fig was our first stop and the best! The service was outstanding and I dearly wish I could remember our excellent server's name! It was our first vacation with our one year old and trying to figure out how to still do some of the things we loved with a small child. Upscale dining is always fraught with worry for me since I never know how we'll be treated. I found all that vaunted southern hospitality at Fig, from the moment we entered. And the fish stew is on my top five favorite things I have ever eaten list. We love travel and have eaten in some great places but I hope some day to go back to Charleston just to eat at Fig again. Outstanding food with world class service

It was hard to get in and the parking situation sucks(�go figure Charleston) but if you can get in the wait is totally worth it! I loved the crab spaghetti� the salted caramel chocolate black out cake topped it all off. They even made the best Arnold Palmer I've had. Wait staff, Food, beverages: it's all good.�

We made a special trip to Charleston to dine here and it was well worth the effort. The food is delicious and the service is outstanding. We arrived at opening to get seats at the bar, otherwise, we understand that reservations can be tough to get. Order the blackened eggplant. Don't even think twice. I do not like eggplant and I could die happy on a diet of just this dish. Don't pass up the gnocchi. They are light and delicious in exactly the right amount of lamb tomato sauce. When we return to Charleston, it will be to eat in this restaurant again.

An amazing restaurant. I had a few wines (the glass list is really impressive), the schnitzel, and an espresso martini for dessert. Everything was perfect. The bar is first come, first serve and on a Wednesday night there were a few empty seats when I arrived at 6:30. Totally full at 8pm. Staff truly knew everything about the menu (Kristen was stellar). The owner/head chef chats with customers a few times a night and will suggest food/pairings. I could easily eat here every night of the week.

To cut to the chase; We’ve travelled to cities all over the country to eat good food, and it is no exaggeration to say that this meal was the most delicious meal we’ve ever had. A couple months before our meal here we decided on Charleston, SC for a trip because it’s a food destination, and immediately began trying to get a reservation to F.I.G. Our trip was around Thanksgiving so they were booked out, but I set up a notification system to let me know if something opened up, and thankfully a couple weeks before our trip a slot for a later dinner opened! From the moment you walk in the door you’re greeted by an exceptional front of house. There’s a tangible sense in the air that everyone is on their A-game and desiring to provide next level service. When we sat down our waiter walked us that days menu. It changes daily based on what ingredients are available, or even simply what was caught that day. Each menu is dated and signed, and when the waiter said, “we have no specials, because everything is special” he wasn’t joking. We also took the opportunity to ask the waiter for recommendations to other restaurants in town, two of which we tried and are also some of the greatest meals we’ve ever had. The food in Charleston is next level! We ordered the Lump Crab Spaghetti, Slow Baked Wreckfish, and Mustard Crusted Swordfish for our meal. We were debating on ordering the Yukon Gold Potato Puree, and with some encouragement from the waiter went for it. Overall what stood out the most was the greatest balance of Fat and Acid I ever consumed in a meal. Every single bite perfectly proportioned in flavor, texture, and creativity. This wasn’t the kind of meal that made you say “wow” after the first bite, it was the kind that made you say it after each bite, and on the way home, and the next day. Everything hit the palate just right. And the potatoes….just order them! We are still talking about this meal a month later, and it sits comfortably atop our list next to Michelin-Star Dim Sum from SF and every other life changing meal we’ve had. If you visit Charleston make sure you visit FIG, Make the reservation early, and build your expectations.
