    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great drinks and quiet/intimate vibes at the bar when I visited.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wished the brunch and happy hour menu was more versatile, however the choice or 3 crosanti was a great option for a light bite.

    Great noodles with wonderful sauce and burratta cheese

    Almost perfect! Food was delicious, service is over the top and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is first rate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mediterranean food and appropriate music included.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Our waitress was super sweet and very accommodating. She recommended a spritz to my sister that she absolutely loved. I have been wanting to try Fig & Olive for a while now and let me tell you it did not disappoint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was giving, love the modern, simple esthetic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The crostini, choose 3, was delish! My sister and I both ordered the steak and eggs, I got my eggs over easy and she scrambled. The chimichurri sauce was so good. The plate was well balanced with the salad. It didn't leave you feeling stuffed but satisfied. I needed my meal with an espresso martini. I will definitely be back! Perfect for a brunch, GNO, or date night.

    We had a girls day at the mall and wanted to stop for a nice brunch. I've gone to the Fig and Olive in D.C. so decided this would be a good option for us especially since I've never had their brunch menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is very clean, cute and the ambiance gave us the vibe we wanted.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was very nice and gave us some great recs. We started with the crostinis which were really good. We did two of the manchego ones and one with the burrata. I chose the steak and eggs for my meal which was cooked well and very flavorful. Overall, Fig & Olive just doesn't miss. This is a great option for a girls day out at the mall!

    Fig and olive was absolutely great. Met up for a pre Christmas dinner with my friend and enjoyed every single bit of food we ate! Service felt like we were the only ones there and being catered to uniquely. Our server had the absolutely best suggestions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was classy and delicately decorated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Did I mention the food was fabulous. I can no longer eat beef but the lamb sirloin dish truly replaced my want for steak!! The mussels and fries were good, and their cocktails perfectly strong. I've been raving about Fig to my friends in hopes to return soon.

    I was taken aback by the cold caramelized onions on the Crostini...and not in a pleasant way. The flavor profile just didn't do it for me. There was a bitterness that I couldn't quite put my finger on. Likewise, the prosciutto option left something to be desired. The Burrata, however, was quite nice. I would love to report that our experience improved as the brunch wore on, but alas... The prefixed Mother's Day menu stipulated that everyone at the table had to order from the menu, and even though several of the items are regularly served, they were off limits even to mothers who didn't wish to order a copious amount of food. I guess the idea of making sure your guests are happy no longer really plays a part in "service". Since we couldn't order what we wanted, we opted for the Benedict and the F&M burger. My mom felt the spinach interfered with her perfectly poached egg and crabcake. She longing stared off into the distance thinking about the far superior crabcake out at Brookwood. The burger looks amazing but just couldn't compete with other burgers around town. I can't say that the food would entice us to return. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nor would the incessant blinking light above our table. The ambiance would have otherwise been enjoyable had it not been for the light.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Went for a dinner meeting. Food was great and [[HIGHLIGHT]]atmosphere was nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Parking was a but difficult but not too crazy. The loss of a star was i asked for an ice tea 3 times with two different servers and it was never brought.

    Dinner Prix Fixe Dessert - Flourless Chocolate Espelette Cake
    Peter M.

    Since I was staying in the Houston Galleria area, we decided to look for a place that was walking distance from the hotel. A little searching brought us to Fig and Olive Tasting Kitchen and Bar. The restaurant has a pleasant ambiance, perfect lighting and well appointed decor. We had arrived without a reservation, but still were able to get a nice table outside. All the food choices were enticing. The best bet was the Dinner Prix Fixe Menu, which was reasonably priced at $48 per person for a 3-course meal. Since our party was comprised of seven people, we were able to taste all the selections on the menu. Appetizers were: Baby Arugula Salad, Tuna Meatballs and Wild Mushroom Croquettes. Entrees were: Moroccan-Spiced Salmon, Paccheri, Roasted Brick Chicken and Peppercorn-Crusted Strip Steak. Dessert choices were: Flourless Chocolate Espelette Cake and Lemon and Olive Oil Cake. All the dishes were superbly prepared and exuded with texture, flavor and taste, Service was exceptional.

    If I could give this restaurant 3.5 stars, I would. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is perfect, gorgeous inside and perfect for a date night, but not too loud so it's not overbearing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food and service were great too, don't get me wrong. But all of the dishes felt so rich with no acidity to cut through them. This felt like the case with everything that we ordered.

    I hesitate to give 5 stars for anyone, because nobody is perfect. However this was a solid 4.8 experience. The ambiance is modern classy upscale. The staff was friendly, informative, and so attentive, my glass was always full, food was hot and quickly served, and used plates were whisked away immediately. We did the brunch menu. Steak and eggs were fantastic, with gorgeous presentation, and the Chimichurri sauce was maybe the best I have had. My drink was their version of an old fashioned, with fresh rosemary as an unexpected twist. We finished up with lemon pound cake and cappuccino. Overall a great experience, and I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

    Smoke & Spice
    Sean C.

    Fig & Olive was an incredible dining experience that I was not expecting to find inside the Galleria mall. The service is top-notch; the team that took care of us were always present refilling water glasses, clearing plates, and getting additional cocktails. The menu is also stellar with great items made in special ways. For their autumn menu, I had the Smoke & Spice cocktail and could have that for the rest of my life. The combination of smoke and spice was perfection and was easily a standout of the day. However, the burrata appetizer with apples and beets was also stunning. You can tell the team takes pride in their preparation and ensuring quality ingredients. Lastly, my salmon main course was also lovely. The huge piece of fish was cooked very well, had tons of flavor and made me excited for the overall meal. Sadly, we were too full to try dessert, but next time I will make that happen.

    Partial appetizer menu
    Brittany B.

    Oh I love a good first impression and Fig & Olive did not disappoint. Following the surprise that the restaurant is attached to the Galleria, we were offered complimentary champagne, and amazing service upon entry while waiting for our table. As a party of 8, we were seated in semiprivate room facing the Galleria (not ideal but you can tell they're making an effort to conceal this) with a virtual fireplace gyrating on the television. Our waitress was attentive and kind. The bathrooms were clean, and luxurious. But as we waited for the remainder of our party, the illusion began to fade. First, somehow, somewhere in the restaurant was a constant beeping. This was not a "I didn't change the smoke alarm" beeping, or "food is ready in the kitchen" beeping but some unidentified, every 10 minutes or so , immediately takes you out of the fantasy of a luxury dining experience beeping. Secondly, the restaurant was near empty during brunch hours...odd for sure, but no sweat, maybe it's a hidden gem. Third, the offerings. We ordered the mimosa carafe with pomegranate, orange pineapple juice and apple cider. The idea is fantastic. We were not recommended two orders. For eight folks it included one very VERY "affordable" bottle of champagne. My cucumber cocktail was premixed (not ideal), but strong (ideal). Although it's understandable that the brunch menu is designed to honor the South of France, the portions per the price were surprising, in the worst way, even for the gaunt eaters of the group. *the Mediterranean dips sharing appetizer (on the for the table menu) is likely designed to be shared between 2. No more than 3. It would be appreciated if this could be communicated to parties when they inquire about shareable appetizers. My assumption that a menu titled "For the table" would comfortable feed more than two, but I suppose I should have asked. *the Yellow fish Tuna Carpaccio ($24)- whoop whoop, an appetizer that can be shared between more than 2 folks. Under salted, but otherwise delicious, flavorful, and texturally. *Lemon ricotta pancakes- arrived too thick and overworked. 4 members of the party ordered the dish. 2/4 thought their entree was undercooked, turns out they were stuffed with lemon ricotta. Additionally, if you plan to order, know that this is not a sweet entree, and likely not designed to fill. We did not find out until our dishes arrived, and we inquired about the size and seemingly raw center. While I love the tapaesque concept, we just wish the portion sizes and important notes of each dish ("would you like to order another, you mentioned this us for sharing, it's designed to feed x people" or "that dish is popular, it's a small portion, most people order it with or "just so you know this pancake is filled, it may look raw in the center, but I'm actually it's cooked to temp and what you see is the filling", we're communicated as it's not evident from the menu or the pricing. As a cherry on top, two waiters who were not assigned to our section used our section as an escape room to text while avoiding the eyes of management...they literally behaved as if we were not sitting there dining. This is the first time in a long time, I've felt in more ways than one like an invisible diner. Unfortunately at this pricepoint, the bulk of our experience was underwhelming, but I wish them the best, and hope this was a one off. Everyone is entitled to an off day now and again.

I didn't have a car and this place is conveniently across the street, so it became the default option. I remembered my first experience wasn't great, but I couldn't recall exactly why--this second visit quickly reminded me. When I ordered over the phone, I was a little taken aback to learn they don't use traditional Mexican white cheeses like Oaxaca or queso fresco--only mozzarella. That honestly stumped me, and the woman on the phone could probably tell by my pause. The tacos themselves were good, but very small. They also came with only one corn tortilla instead of the usual double tortilla you'd expect from street tacos. On top of that, the order was five tacos instead of the more common six for around the same price point ($14.99), which seems to be a growing trend but still feels disappointing. There were no complimentary chips and salsa, so I had to order those separately. The upside is that the salsa selection was actually pretty good. I also ordered fries, not realizing they were $7. While the portion was decent, they definitely didn't feel like a $7 side--more in the $4-$5 range. Overall, the tacos did satisfy my craving, but not enough to make this a go-to spot. Paparucho will likely remain a last-resort option for me when I'm craving Mexican food and don't have many other choices nearby.

I stopped in on a Friday evening for a night cap. The bar is a pretty decent size and they have their own parking lot. They have a large patio out front and there was plenty of seating indoors as well. It's a sports bar so there were a lot of TVs throughout. They also have arcade games including Skee Ball and Pop-A-Shot. The menu had beer, wine, and cider, but they do have a full bar. I didn't see any specialty cocktails on the menu so I just asked the bartender, Marc to make me a gin based cocktail. Marc came up with his version of a Corpse Reviver. It had a tart, yet fruity twist to it. I can't recall all of the ingredients he used, but I liked it. I also had a Gimlet which was really good. Marc informed me about The Railyard shot special. Any time a train rolls by, you can purchase a vodka based shot for $2. I'm not much of a shot person, but I went ahead and ordered a White Tea shot. It was really good. Everyone in the bar was friendly and I appreciated the diversity of the clientele. Super chill place, just as a dive should be.
