Food and ambiance are top knotch! Really fresh ingredients. Healthy and delicious options. BYOB

I can't say about the ambiance because we got it for pickup. The service was ok in that they forgot the tzatziki sauce for the gyros and the one I got was watery without much taste. They also forgot a $20 flatbread and we had to drive back for because they couldn't issue credit by phone??? On the other hand my friend ordered hummus and loved it. The falafel was very tasty and seasoned well. I had the suvlaki kebab that was good but not quite enough for the price. I would try it again but double check the order before I left. read more

Good day Yelpers! I used OpenTable to make the reservation which I love doing. This evening we sampled the fare at the Blue Fig Garden in Southbury, CT. The facility itself is Turkish and "BYOB". The Fig is nestled in a shopping plaza, in an upper scaled area. Upon entering the establishment we were "greeted" by a very un-entertained looking young lady, not much personality or welcoming attitude there, but I digress. (.5) We were led to our table in the spacious and tastefully decorated facility. Walking by everyone's tables I glanced in to see how their foods looked and I got even hungrier. Upon being seated, we waited roughly 10 minutes with plenty of staff walking by without saying a word before I made uncomfortable eye contact with who I assumed was the owner, when he finally came over and asked if we'd been helped yet. (Strike-1.5). As the owner started walking away to get someone to help and waiter finally approached and asked what type of water we wanted, sparkling or flat. No introduction or nothing.. ok...... (.5) I was unaware that it was byob and asked for a wine menu... luckily there's a package store nearby. I returned from my walk with a bottle of wine and was given a cup for my wine. Not a deal breaker, but also not very classy. We ordered a tasty dip platter with all the hummus and tzatziki we wanted. Points for presentation and flavor, which made up for the lack luster attitudes we'd received thus far. To be quite honest I was ready to leave because of the wait time on the initial contact. The rooms humidity wasn't much different than outside, which by the way was pretty uncomfortable. Maybe the A/C was broken, idk. There was an abundance of fruit flies all around which was not cool at all. Anywho, the meals came out, I had ordered a meat platter that was just perfect. The meats were tender and flavorful. "Thank God"! I finally asked the waiter what his name was well into the meal. Kadir my friend, you work for tips. Time to level up my guy. You're saving Grace was that the food was top tier. I really love Turkish, Mediterranean food and I will give the fig another chance but y'all need some fine tuning on the customer service side. I've been to Sultans many times and If I had to choose a Turkish spot to go to, I'd probably choose them based on the customer service, and I really don't like Waterbury. There's some food for thought. Do better. See you all again. read more

*3% fee is added when you pay with a card. *no tap water offered - only sparkling or still. *gratuity added for a 6 person party *sandwiches not offered during dinner, cannot get a gyro for dinner We had made a reservation online in advance & got notified that the restaurant would call us to confirm it. When we got no call, I called to ask if they had our reservation. They told us that because they were overbooked our online reservation did not go through. We were able to be accommodated, yet we were seated right next to the restrooms. When our server came over, she told us they may be able to move us but we never moved. I also had to re-explain the reservation situation again because she was telling me a different story than what happened. In comparison to other reviews, our service was rather attentive which I appreciate. We started with the cheese phyllo rolls which were probably the best things. I had the stuffed grape leaves which were weirdly cinnamon flavored but good with tzatziki. The falafels had good flavor, but came with a weirdly nutty sauce. My sister got the beef kabobs which were disgustingly dry & inedible which we had to return. We asked for sides of mayo and had to ask like 3 times. She ended up getting the chicken kabobs which were much better. Would recommend telling them a temperature on the beef kabob if possible. read more

Amazing service and really cool ambience. The service was top-notch, but the food was the star. Loved the Adana dish. What a delight. It transported me to an exotic place. Our new favorite place! read more

Blue Fig Garden - Atmosphere was bar none amazing! - Mediterranean Near Me - Southbury, Connecticut

Absolutely wonderful!!! I've been patiently waiting for the opening of this new restaurant and the wait was worth it! Our meals were absolutely amazing! I had the Beyti kebab. Babba Ganoush for appetizer. Other guests had the moussaka, and also these amazing little dumplings with a lamb mix inside. I'd say the dumplings were my favorite. They tasted homemade and very fresh. Again, everything was phenomenal though! Can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu! My daughter who is not adventurous with food enjoyed a very delicious steak with mashed potatoes, mushrooms, asparagus, etc. Restaurant had a very open, clean, modern, trendy feel while also giving some Mediterranean vibes. Our server was friendly and food came out pretty fast! So happy to have this spot in Southbury! read more

Terrible Service, never came back to table. Over 35 minutes to get check. Food no flavor!! Nice interior Will not go back! read more

Let's start with the one positive, The Restaurant is beautiful, vast, spacious, and extremely comfortable. The chairs, booth are really pleasing and offer a lot of comfort and a sense of privacy. There's ample room between tables, that you don't feel like you're squeezed in. The waiter came pretty quick to our table and that's about where all the positive aspects end-his first greeting to us was: what would you like to drink bottled water, sparkling water, or anything else but we don't have tapwater. Who does not serve tapwater? Is that even legal-am I in Mexico? Ok, let's move on because it actually does get worse So, unto the order-We ordered babaghanoush as an appetizer the Greek salad with chicken as a main course and the lamb kebabs with vegetable and rice. The best part of the entire meal was the bread... The bread is homemade, soft, chewy, but great flavor and texture. The babaghanoush was probably one of the worst ones I've ever had no smoky flavor to it, No taste to it other then cumin and extremely bland. The salad was simply disgusting, the tomatoes were not even close to being ripped as a matter of fact, they were pale and color and hard in texture. The feta cheese was extremely salty and it was excessive of green peppers(by the way what Greek salad has green peppers in it? Peppero pepperoncini, yes but unfortunately it was not that!and the dressing had no flavor whatsoever-it was more like a garden salad with feta cheese, and a lame dressing As for the kebab, no taste other than gaminess. The rice was probably the worst rice I've ever had. The vegetables had no flavor. I don't understand how food can be this bad and yet this expensive. This place is not cheap!! It cost $75 and was absolute garbage and to boot the service was even worse! The waiter never ever came to check on us and see how our meal fared with us. I had to get up, go to the register, and inquire about my bill and I was told he'd be right with us, five minutes later he still didn't come to give us our bill... I had to stop another waiter with a little bit of a temper and ask for my bill immediately. I will never come back to this place again because nothing here was worth it. It's beautiful and that's where it ends. generally I believe in second chances, but clearly there's no second chance to be given to this place, not even a free meal! Back to Constantine's for sure-they KNOW what they are doing there-this place should get some pointers from them! read more

The ambiance is lovely - very relaxing and spacious. The bread with dipping oil delicious and fresh. The service is subpar. We had to ask for water even though there were water glasses on the table. No tap water option - I consider that a money grab - one that can be easily fixed by offering free tap water. My salad with an add on of falafel was good but very small for the price. My friends mashed potatoes were cold; they were replaced with hot ones. The chicken was chewy. We had to go up to the counter to ask for our check. Diner food and service at restaurant prices. I might try other items and give them another chance -just don't go with high expectation read more

We came for July 4 and it was amazing! We got the hummus which was so good. Then I had the branzino which I enjoyed. My boyfriend got the meat sampler plate and everything was cooked very well. Will definitely come back read more

Grain of salt here - it's only been open for a few weeks, but.....charging $6 for water is ridiculous. We asked for tap water and were told "we don't serve that" - $6 bottled water or nothing. Food was good, however they "lost" 2 of 3 orders for our table. It took multiple asks of the waiter and manager to finally get our orders over an hour after the first entree came out. The Mediterranean Tour appetizer was really good, as was the salmon entree. The beef kabob was nice cubes of beef, cooked well, but nothing special. As a make up for the lost entrees we were given free dessert, which were all tasty, but we were asked to walk to the counter to peruse the offerings and choose what we wanted. Weird and to make it weirder, when you want to look at the left end of the dessert case, you are leaning over a table of diners - it was a strange experience. Overall, I am on the fence about going back due to the very strange vibe, however, it was their first 3 weeks or so of operation so we may give it another chance in a few months. read more

Had lunch today... Mashed potatoes not good... dry not creamy. Need improvement... other than that it was good.

Lamb chops were delicious. Very bad wait staff. Once we had dinner we were ignored. When we sat down they never brought water. We had to keep calling for help . PLates on table for bread that we never received. The restaurant decor is lovely but doesn't make up for poor staff. read more

We wanted so badly to like this place but no amount of positive thinking could fix our experience. The food was vastly under-seasoned and undercooked but the prices were exorbitant for what we received and the hostess was miserable. We arrived a party of 3 (1adult, 1 high schooler, 1 middle schooler.). The hostess seemed annoyed we were there without a reservation (although there were plenty of open tables at 6:30 on a Sunday night.) Our server was friendly and pleasant. As expected she offered us water for the table. We said "yes" and she followed up with, "still or sparkling." We chose "still." She never mentioned they charge $6 for water! I found out when I went to pay the hefty bill at the end of the meal. We ordered the fried calamari and tzatziki for appetizers. The calamari was pale, unseasoned and slimy. The tzatziki came just as a sauce in a bowl- nothing to dip into it- no veggies, just sauce in a bowl. We told the server about the calamari and she apologized and said she would let the cooks know, but she did not remove it from the table. It just sat there uneaten. For our meals we ordered the beef kebab, chicken kebab, and tabouli salad with shrimp. The veggies that came with the kebabs were undercooked and too hard to eat (not raw- just undercooked as in potatoes that are soft on the outside, hard in the middle.) The beef was good. The chicken was unseasoned and bland. The tabouli salad was tasteless. I don't think there was any dressing or seasoning on any of it. They charge $10 extra for 4 very small, unseasoned shrimp. The entire meal was lackluster. In addition to the above, we ordered 2 ice teas. The bill came to $150!!!!! They still charged us $17 for the uneaten, slimy calamari that we told them we could not eat. This was a very disappointing and expensive experience. read more

Amazing food was so fresh! My favorite was the bread! Beautiful ambience! Will be going back, service was also great!

Stopped in for lunch. The food is fantastic, I had a gyro. Very nice staff with great service for a new restaurant. Decor is welcoming and creates a great read more

I decided to give Blue Fig a chance, since it's been open about a month and I had the time. I was seated promptly by a friendly hostess. I was the only customer in the restaurant aside from one couple by the front window who had clearly already finished eating and were just chatting. After being seated, I sat for 5-10 minutes without anyone approaching, despite at least two servers and someone working behind the counter being visible the whole time. Bread and olive oil eventually arrived, which was fine. But from there, things stalled again -- it was at least 15 more minutes before anyone returned, and I had to ask for water myself when a server finally came by. I used the wait to decide on an appetizer, the roasted mushrooms. Another 20 minutes or so passed. No new customers had come in, and the one couple in the restaurant was getting ready to leave. I had to make a point of catching the waiter's attention before he seemed to register I was still there. Around that same time, two or three more parties -- all older couples -- arrived and were seated and greeted promptly. It was roughly another 15 minutes before my order was actually taken. What happened next was the most frustrating part. A couple seated next to me, who arrived well after I did, had their order taken around the same time as mine -- and yet by the time my appetizer finally reached the table, they'd already been served a full course (a separate rice dish) and were well into it. Shortly after I finished my appetizer, they were served a second course: two full, beautifully presented entrées. So in the time it took staff to bring me a single $15 appetizer and then check on me again, the table next to me had been served two full courses. I decided not to order a main course -- the mushrooms were fine, but clearly not a priority for the kitchen or the staff. When I was done, the waiter passed my table several times before asking if I wanted the check. After I handed over my card, it took another 5-6 minutes to get it back, despite the restaurant having fewer than 10 customers total and multiple staff on the floor. I was there over an hour, most of it spent waiting. I don't know whether I was intentionally deprioritized, but the difference in how quickly nearby tables were served was hard to ignore. The food itself was mediocre. Overall, it was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. If I had gone to a McDonald's in the worst part of Danbury, I would have had excellent service by comparison. read more

We stopped by for lunch today. The decor is beautiful, chairs comfy and the ambiance very nice. The food was delicious. However, the service was terrible. We were the only people in the restaurant (6 of us) at the time and then another couple of people came in later, so it wasn't crowded. There were 3 young people - 2 male servers and 1 female hostess - who were glued to their phones. The waiter didn't check on us to see how our meals were. We had to wave down the hostess to get more water and condiments. We also had wave someone down to get the bill. Really poor service which is disappointing because the food was very good. read more

I was excited to visit this restaurant but was terribly disappointed. True, the ambiance and decor are lovely, but the service is subpar and inattentive and the food is expensive. You have to pay for water--one of the first things the waiter said to us was they didn't offer tap water and we had to buy a bottle if we wanted water. Seriously? My salad was very good but the falafel was very dry and lacking in taste. Isn't that a Middle Eastern specialty? The waiter asked if we wanted everything at the same time and we said yes but he brought the flatbread way before the hummus. He was very inattentive after that despite having little to do besides stand around. We won't be going back--not the least because you have to pay for water. Sad. read more

Went to dinner tonight, ordered mixed app platter that was ok and ordered our dinners right way so we don't wait. We finished our cold mix app and sat with the plates in front of us for an hour and a half. Finally our dinners came out and I was told at that moment that they don't have my liver entree, WTH??? Why didn't you tell me this after I placed the order but you wait a hour and a half when you bring the rest of the entrees ??? I could have ordered something else right away. We took the other two entrees togo and will never go back. read more

The food is amazing and the service is the best I love this restaurant the ambiance is great I have no complaints about this restaurant

I would give zero stars if I could. Don't waste your time or money. Ordered a salad with chicken. Chicken was raw. Nobody cared. They told me I must have ordered my chicken rare. I have never even heard of rare chicken. . . read more

Really disappointing first experience. Food was ordered at 11:30 for a 12:50 pickup. Food didn't come out until 1:20. Bag was missing an item. Then they had to make it from scratch. Missed my entire lunch break waiting. They knew I was not happy and still unwilling to even discount the item they forgot. Not a great way to introduce your new business to the community. Eventually I got back to work with the food. Opened it up and fries missing from two items. Hopefully they figure it out. read more
