A must do in Charleston. Menu has small options but don't let that dissuade you every dish we had was amazing! Reservations are hard to come by but don't let that dissuade you as well a secret is if you get there around 4:40pm they actually seat up to 13 people at the bar and a communal table with no reservations. Food--might be the best meal I have had in a long time from front to back. Drinks were great and service at the bar was intimate and great conversation with Bartender/server and the other patrons. My must come back restaurant in Charleston. read more

Yep - It's worth it - the hype is real. So, yes, get on resy exactly 4 weeks to the day at exactly 12 pm (because at 12:04, there was 6 pm or late already - we were good with 6 pm anyway). This is a traditional fine dining experience, which honestly, we don't have many of here in Charleston. Like literal, white tablecloth, dim lights and tables not crushed together. Service is top notch. Our server, Sam was just perfection. She knew when to come by, she knew when not to. She was friendly and conversive, but not obtrusive. Now, the part you are waiting for, the food. Just divine. This is what fresh, local ingredients get you. Delicious food and it shows. The food isn't overly innovative like some restaurants and that is ok, what it does is let the ingredients shine all by themselves as they should. And, that is the point of this restaurant. The freshest most tasty crab I've ever had, the most flavorful broth in that bouillabaisse, things like that you will notice. So go, you will thank yourself later. read more

The food is sublime,without fail The gnocchi is a must start. All salads and entrées, above reproach- all of them. Reservations are tough to get but we always enjoy the community table. read more

Overrated boring fare, doesn't treat their workers well. There are much better restaurants out there.

One of the best meals I have ever had, and I have had some incredible meals in my life! Also very positive experience with the wait staff (Curtis was our server). Would go back to Charleston just to eat at Fig again. Highly recommend! read more

Good food, not great. I expected quite a bit from this place and honestly I've had better. Service was a bit rushed and my fish, though cooked very well was a bit too salty/over seasoned on the outside. Overall food was pretty solid, but nothing stood out as great or amazing. The drinks were made well (not too sweet and v balanced). Good selection of gf options. Our server checked in on us v frequently, from beginning to end, which made us feel very rushed to order and to leave. read more

We had an early summer dinner having Cornmeal Crusted Wreckfish and B-Line Snapper as main courses, Fresh-Dug Nicola Potato Purée as a side and the Broiled Steamboat Creek Oysters to start. All were fantastic, presented and served beautifully by our Charleston native server. For dessert we had the Peach (just in season) sorbet and Lime Cream Puffs which were both delicious. This was our first time there since moving to the area 2 years ago. Reservations are hard to get, but if you can't get them, the server said to try calling the day of for cancellations or drop by and see if there is a table available. We'll be stopping by again to try out something more from their seasonal menu. A must hit in Charleston! read more

We were excited to get into FIG after placing ourselves on the wait list. The service was exceptional, the food sublime, and we honestly could not have wished for a better experience. If you cannot get a reservation, please put yourself on the wait list or just go-they have bar seats that don't require a reservation. This is the best place we've enjoyed in several years. We look forward to dining at FIG again very soon. read more

Delicious and unique. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire night! Great atmosphere too. Will definitely be back! read more

FIG - Red Snapper - New American Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Let's start with the positives: the fish was incredible. Definitely make sure to order one of their fishes as an entree. I had the grouper in a tomato vierge (which the waiter described as an ode to olive oil) and it was perfect. Boyfriend had the bouillabaisse which he enjoyed. Also incredible was the service. We were curious about a couple wines on the menu and he brought over glasses for us to sample! I've never had that in a restaurant before. Also, it was my birthday and when we sat down there was a nice happy birthday placard waiting at the table. So what can they do better? I feel like other than the fish, they are catering to the masses and their flavors are muted. I really had to pile on the pate to get that liver taste that I craved. This is one of their long-standing items on the menu, so I expected more. The texture was very smooth though. Also, I ordered a cocktail that had three different peppers and was named the Pied Pepper and it just came off bland and like 5% spicy. How is that even possible? read more

walked in at 5:40pm, already full inside. After a couple minutes, was able to sit outisde. A bit of disappointment not to sit inside but the server said reservation is necessary to sit inside next time.. With kind explanation of each menu by kind server, ordered chicory salad and chicken. Salad was really excellent with bluecrab and a hint of greek yogurt. Mohito virgin was not too exciting taste but ok. Slow cooked chicken was a pleasant surprise. Very tender, no fat, no weird smell, but just nice proteins. Ragu sauce with some peas reminded me of Indian dishes for some reason but anyway it was really a wonderful dish. Cream puffs were huge portion for one, there were three puffs came. Nice lime flavored cream to refresh the mouth and crunch puffs were also fun to finish my meal! Parking is easy to find behind the restaurant if you dont mind paying to a private parking company. Pre-paid $7 for 2hrs. Be mindful that parking machine takes only cash without change! To pay by credit card, it requires texting to somewhere.. I paid cash.. It could've been five stars if I were not dining outside.. Buses and cars were passing too close to my table, and making loud noise, especially fire truck.. chilly temp for me outside, (ended up drizzling rains at the end..) then people walking too close to me while my mouth was full with foods..To avoid all these, need to plan ahead to make a reservation! read more

FIG lived up to the hype of its reputation. From the moment you walk in, this feels like an upscale dining experience. The restaurant is dimly lit, and the color of the walls is a dark cherry color. There were some floral arrangements. The food: Delicious! The highlights were the gnocchi and the arugula salad starters. The gnocchi had the fluffiest texture. The bolognese sauce was so good I wanted to scrape every last drop off the plate. The arugula salad was simple and fresh. For the main course, I had the seafood bourride, which is a variety of seafood (shrimp, mussels, fish) in a savory broth over rice and herbs. It was outstanding! But I did wish I had some bread for the sauce. Some of our party members were not big seafood eaters, so they only had two possible options on the menu (chicken or steak). I think everyone enjoyed their meals. We skipped dessert. The service was excellent. Drinks and waters were full all night. The server was attentive and the food was well-timed. Negatives: 1) the main dining room is one large open space, which it gets loud. 2) There are only two single stall bathrooms for the whole restaurant, so there was a line each time. 3) they don't serve bread, but it definitely feels like the type of restaurant where they should serve bread. read more

Fig in this context stands for "food is good." We were hoping that their name fit the bill for their food when we made our reservation for a Friday night in January. We made our reservation online which was very convenient and arrived slightly early to our 5:00 p.m. dinner time. Our server was Janell and she was friendly and informative about the restaurant and the food on the menu. We told her that we wanted to try many small dishes rather than ordering a few large entrees and she was fine with this plan. We started with a bottle of mountain valley sparkling water ($8) while we looked over the menu. The first thing we ordered was the sweet potato tart ($18) . We knew that it was going to be topped with a pungent cheese and encased with a flaky pastry, but it tasted far off the mark for us. It was overly pungent and the flaky pastry was soggy and chewy on the bottom, additionally we thought that the bacon was overly salty for the already flavor packed cheese. Appetizer number two was the persimmon and goat cheese topped cornbread ($12). I was thrilled to see persimmon on the menu, as it's something that I see very rarely when I dine out. The persimmons were perfectly ripe and the cheese was a nice complexity alongside the sweetness of the fruit. The cornbread itself was flavorful, but the texture was crumbly and the edges were overly cooked, lending a bit more toasty flavor and dryness than we were hoping for. Our final appetizer was the gnocchi ($22), which was by far the best thing we ate. The little dumplings were airy, light, fluffy, and were topped with a ground meat and tomato sauce with shaved cheese. I had wished that the sauce was vegetarian because the meat was very strong, but I scraped most of the meat off to let the gnocchi really shine on their own, which they did. Our last savory item was a side order of the potato puree ($9) with an additional Bordelaise sauce ($2). The potatoes were soft and whipped, but otherwise pretty boring overall, and the bordelaise was very sweet, much sweeter than I was expecting. We could have done without this item. For dessert, the birthday boy ordered the pear galette which was served alongside lemon ice cream ($12) and I ordered the sipping chocolate ($5). The galette was sort of deconstructed, with a crescent of puff pastry accompanied by soft poached pears and some ice cream. It was ok but not great, and my sipping chocolate left much to be desired. I was hoping it would be slightly thickened and very strongly flavored, but it was pretty liquidy and mellow. For drinks, hubby had two Seedlip spiced tonics at ($7) each, and I tried their flannel sheets signature cocktail ($16). Hubby loved his spiced tonics as an alternative to alcoholic cocktails, but my signature cocktail was overwhelming and bitter and needed some sweetness to balance out the flavors. When the waitress came back, I ordered the Chinatown cocktail and that too was overly bold for me. The waitress allowed me to send it back and I ordered a Sazerac ($11) instead, but it too was strike three of poorly crafted cocktails in a row. The ambience of the restaurant was clean with modern lines. Prices were high for the overall quality of the food, and I felt like they needed to increase their quality assurance of the food and especially the drinks coming out of their creation areas. While we were leaving we watched them build some of the drinks and it didn't look like they tasted any of them, which could be why all of the cocktails were poorly flavored from my point of view. Quite a mixed bag here, but overall not to my liking, and not something I would return to, given how many other great restaurants there are in this area. read more

The meal we had was the reason Jesus Christ died on the cross. If you think that $14 is to much for mashed (purée) potatoes, you have no idea want you're talking about. Would have paid double. The old fashions flowed like wine. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Judas for backstabbing him so we enjoy bouillabaisse and the slow roasted Berkshire pork loin. My god. read more

I was lucky enough to celebrate one of my last meals as a Charleston restaurant at FIG in February 2020. My friend and I sat at the community table along with another Charleston resident and couples visiting from other states. I wish more restaurants had community tables - it's a treat to share a meal with strangers (one of them literally shared his dessert with us, to convince us to order dessert after dinner). I started off the evening with the Flannel Sheets drink, which set the right note. My friend and I decided to order two entrees to share - the Ricotta Gnocchi Alla Bolognese and the Murasaki Sweet Potato & Époisses Tart. Both were surprising and satisfying and I would have been happy to leave after that, but of course we had to order dessert. For dessert I ordered the Houdini's Martini, paired with the Butterscotch Pot de Creme. We could have used more cookies along with the dessert, but, again, really everything was perfect. From arrival until goodbyes, I couldn't have chosen a better last meal. read more

Great place! Depends on where you order but can be a five out of five or four out of five easy! Get: tomato tarte tart(!!!), gnocchi, budino, cheesecake Avoid: big eye tuna + Carolina gold rice bowl For appetizers we got the ricotta gnocchi, alla Bolognese big eye tuna + Carolina gold rice bowl, and the melon and sherry sabayon. The gnocchi was amazing and so soft, and the sauce was quite flavorful without having too much meat. The melon appetizer was subpar and lacked flavor but sounded cool - nothing special. The big eye tuna was fine - very little flavor and far too much rice. The popcorn on top was not a nice edition. For entrees, we got the steak, the baked gag grouper, and sautéed American red snapper. The cast iron strip steak had an incredible topping of mushrooms but the steak itself was an average steak. The grouper is absolutely incredible!! The sauce and sides were superb! The red snapper was also superb but quite rich! For desserts we got the budino and basque cheesecake. The budino was WONDERFUL! The cheesecake was a nice rendition of a basque style. I would be willing to try again as this place certainly has immense potential and the menu changes frequently. read more

There is a reason why FIG has been listed on multiple travel and restaurant blogs as one of the best, must go to restaurants in the Charleston area. I ended up getting their gnocchi, a steak dish, and a few desserts. Everything was absolutely delicious. My absolute favorite dish of the night was the panna cotta. I've had so many panna cotta desserts in my life but wow, this one was absolutely magical. One of my friends is vegetarian so they actually made her a customized dish which was colorful, flavorful and very interesting! You need to make reservations well in advance, otherwise you will not be able to get a table, or you can add to the waitlist and maybe potentially score a table. My friends and I ended up getting lucky but the reservation was for 9:30PM which is fairly late for dinner for my standards. Either way, I was extremely fortunate to have experienced such fine dining here! read more

Fig and executive chef Mike Latta have created an absolute beast in Charleston in terms of publicity and Mike being on Iron Chef and "The Best thing I've ever had" as well as being one of the top restaurants in Charleston. The bar is inviting with a picturesque view of many wines and opposite another bar with a long bar style table. The rest of the restaurant has white linen covered tables, local simplistic artwork and low lighting with soft music. The front of the house are well informed of both the menu and drinks. I typically like to plan out the meal and let the waiter pair my wines with a little input from me. The apps are top notch. I opted for the Chicken Pate which was divine and smooth. I've also sampled the ricotta gnocchi alla Bolognese. The gnocchi are good and not as filling as some potato pastas tend to be while the sauce had a plethora of perfectly cooked meats. Be careful you don't overindulge before hitting the entrees! As with all the fine dining establishments, menus are seasonal so I believe my expertise might be a bit outdated. But fear not, as all of the entrees are done with quality and precision. The hanger steak if it's still on the menu "is the bees knees" (trying to conjure up a time when "the Charleston" was en vogue). Perfectly cooked beef sliced semi-thin, almost bite sized. The meat is topped with trumpet mushrooms then by one of the best sauces in the agrodolce sauce. I tasted sweet (balsamic maybe?) and sour and complimented the meat as well as the potato puree. I'm salivating thinking about it. Another great dish was the grouper. Perfectly cooked fish with kale made my mouth water for the next bite. Flaky and tender the fish almost melts while the smoked roe adds a nice pop of salinity and smoke. The beverage menu has some interesting creations while the whine menu is more about quality at reasonable prices vs a bloated menu with wine I can't afford. As far as deserts I only had the Sticky Sorghum Pudding. The pudding was bouncy and extremely satisfying with salty and sweet punch from the toffee was the perfect contrast. All the other deserts look good but I was pretty full by then. In summary Fig is awesome and a must try for locals and those visiting alike. Try it, you wont leave without a smile on your face! read more

Third time in Charleston, finally got to have a dinner at this so famous restaurant, and it was all worth it! The vibe, decoration, services and foods, of course, were all fantastic! My favorite one was absolutely the ricotta stuffed gnocchi! It was the best gnocchi I have ever ate. With every bite, the ricotta exploded in my mouth and it was just so hard to forget! My second favorite was the wagyu bavette. Actually it was not on the menu of that day. It was on the menu of previous day. I checked the previous day's menu before I visited and I was so attracted by the wagyu bavette, but then I found it was not on the menu of the day I went. I was a little disappointed, so I asked the waiter if they still had it. She was super nice. Firstly she said they might not have it but she'd be happy to check it with the kitchen. And then she came back said they still had something left and could make it. I really appreciated it and it was so delicious! And then my third favorite was the Creamy Morels handkerchief Pasta. It was also super delicious but to me it was not as good as gnocchi. However, some appetizers were not so satisfying compared to what I mentioned above. The burnt eggplant was too salty and didn't have flavor of eggplant. Felt like I was eating something unknown. And the salad - it was not bad but just my personal preference - they only have one salad choice and it contained almost 80% root vegetables. I'd prefer more leaves. Overall it was still a wonderful dinner experience. It was absolutely the best dinner I've ever had in Charleston. read more

From start to finish, we enjoyed what we consider to be our best meal thus far in this city. The staff are all knowledgeable about the menu and clearly know the meaning of quality customer service. The place is breathtaking, and the food is so great that the restaurant has earned a James Beard award. Thanks to everyone who helped make our night so special. This place is the definition of true Southern hospitality which is even reflected in the enthusiasm of the other diners. Our servers Jonathan and Sheila are superstars who enhanced our experience thanks to their passion for professionalism and just being great people along with everyone else on the team. And I should note that their steak tartar has real truffles in it which, of course, makes it the very best one we've ever had. read more

My partner and I came to FIG for our anniversary dinner. We were so excited to get reservations because they can be challenging to come by. Our server shared with us that the bar and community table at the front are for walk-ins, so that was good to know! Service was excellent. No critique there at all. I ordered a zero-proof drink and it was delicious. My partner enjoyed her beer. We ordered the ricotta gnocchi as a starter and really really enjoyed it. So good! Our only critiques were with the entrees. She ordered the bouillabaisse and I ordered the chicken meal. Both desperately needed a more nuanced and deep flavor profile. It was, unfortunately, pretty bland. Which was a bit disappointing with how pricey the entrees are. I'm glad we were finally able to give it a try but I doubt we will return. read more

Omgosh - first night in Charleston and this gem was in a great neighborhood in the hub of downtown. Lauren was our amazing server with a culinary background. Cocktails - I'd recommend Los Tres Amigos if you enjoy spice and also I Love Lucy. The Prosciutto & Cornbread was a great starter and unlike anything you've had in the past. The Gnocchi was no derived from potatoes and more like Italian "pillows from heaven!" They are a must no matter . The Wreckfish was a light flaky whitefish and another seasonal catch cooked to perfection ! Be sure to plan a visit to this fine establishment!! read more

We came here after securing reservations and it was absolutely amazing. or starters we had the chicken liver pate and lamb tartare. We also had some other fantastic mains and sides whose names escape me at the moment, plus the menu has unfortunately changed. That said, I guarantee you almost can't go wrong at this place. Whether you're looking for a fancy place for a romantic dinner, or just a chill and relaxed dining with an old friend you won't be disappointed at FIG. It's definitely on the pricier side, but it's totally worth it if you have the money to blow. Go here fam. read more

You have not been to Charleston until you've ate at FIG. This is the best restaurant in CHS! We split so many things and everything was to die for. The burnt eggplant was my favorite!! We sat at the community table and met the sweetest people all night long. Eating at FIG was the highlight of our trip! I often day dream about everything we ate that night it was TOO good! Service was amazing too. Will be back. Need to try everything on the menu as it changes often read more

First. Reservations are only taken four weeks in advance. The reservation program opens on Saturdays at 10am. They fill up quick. I logged in at 10:02 and only 5pm, 815pm or 10pm were available! Gotta get in quick! Upon arrival, we were seated at our table and promptly greeted by our waiter. We ordered drinks and they were absolutely delicious! I ordered a raspberry lemon martini. I had three. Their menu changes weekly, so some things may not be on it when you go. As appetizers we tried the ricotta gnocchi bolognese and the tomato tartin fromage blanc. Both were very fresh and had amazing flavor. As entrees we had the mustard crusted sea bass and the ribeye steak with carrots and topped with brisket. As sides we had the Yukon puree and lunchbox peppers work tahini. The desserts we had were the corn fritters and ice cream and the mixed berry tart. The food was probably the best meal I've had in Charleston. It was incredible. I highly highly highly recommend getting a reservation here. You will not be disappointed. read more

I made a reservation a month ago and the only time I could get was 9:45 on a Wednesday. It was a very late dinner but it was excellent. My husband and I ordered the gnocchi and the lowcoutry bourride. They were nice enough to split the Bourride into two bowls, as pictured below. The meal had 6 huge shrimp, 8 mussels, fish and tons of rice and beans. The flavor was EVERYTHING! The gnocchi was also amazing. I don't typically order gnocchi since they are so heavy. These were made with just dough and no potato so they were extremely light and fluffy. If you're in the area make the time to come here. read more

One of my favorite meals in Charleston! We had the ricotta gnocchi to start which was delicious. It was light and fluffy, with the overall dish reminiscent of lasagna without feeling as heavy. For my main course I chose the tilefish, it was my first time trying tilefish and it was delicious. It was served with kale, a lemon butter sauce that was delicious and really enhanced the flavor of the tilefish as well as a crunch from the croutons. For dessert we got the sticky sorghum cake which was absolutely delicious. It was flavorful, not overly sweet and the caramel sauce was so smooth and buttery. The service was excellent, our waitress was friendly and gave great recommendations/insight on the menu. I would definitely dine here if I visit Charleston again. read more

Stopped in for a drink at the bar recently. The service was better and more personable when I dined at a table a few months back.

Came here during a trip to Charleston. Make sure you have a res! My dining partner and I tried the Burnt Eggplant + Cottage Cheese with brown bread app. It was phenomenal. The flavors were unique, perfectly balanced, and the textural contrast between the eggplant, cheese, and bread was delightful. The Ricotta Gnocchi alla Bolognese with parmesan was also fanastic. The gnocchi was pillowy soft, and the flavors were a great balance of tart and savory. For mains, we tried the Nantucket bay scallop and Snapper. Both of these were good, but I think not quite as unique and outstanding as the apps. The seafood was well prepared and seasoning was spot on. Service was kind and attentive. For drinks, I had the Magical Mastiha Tour (Ford's gin, Skinos mastiha, Vecchio del Capo, lemon, lavender), which I really enjoyed. The Kiss of Life (Ming River baiju, Strega, Saler's aperitivo, lime, absinthe), I didn't like as much. I thought the former one was better balanced, but my dining partner enjoyed it. read more

We attempted to get reservations for thing over the course of three weeks. However, it's nearly impossible. Even though they will send you an email when the resident opens up unless you're on your email that instant you won't get it. We took a chance after not being able to get into a different restaurant and walked in on a Saturday night. The place was packed. However, they do have six seats for just having drinks only. I took a leap of faith and put my name down while sitting on a martini, we were approached by the hostess that two seats at the bar had open for dinner just 55 minutes after we arrive. The bartender/waiter was absolutely phenomenal. I believe her name was Kristin and she knew the menu backwards and forwards, and took the time to explain every single option as well as what she preferred and how to pair the plates. My husband and I decided to stick to the small plates at the top. We decided on six different plates. Each one was better than the next. Ending with a sticky pudding. put my husband over the edge. I've never seen him so excited for a dessert in my life. The drinks are fantastic. The wine selection was extensive. The service was great, and if you had the opportunity to stop in here, I highly recommend it. read more

We were here tonight for my son birthday celebration we very excited to try your restaurant we heard so much good reviews about you guys . Reservations @9:30 great with time we got right in. Then came our server not to helpful when we ask about the menus she seem very annoyed by our questions asking what items at the restaurant is known for she keep saying our menus changes every day we are award winning restaurant which is not helpful when we want a suggestion. We order pate , gnocchi , shrimp scampi for app was great ! We got to entrees was disappointed. Seafood bolognese was the fish was not fresh at all very fishy quality. The grouper was fishy not fresh at all bit cool not even hot . The pork was the best on entrees tonight . Dessert was very well done . We were there for 2 hrs for a fine dinning known restaurant we expected better deco and seating but we felt we were at a hotel conference room with cracker barrel wood  hard chair outdated cheap seating . 2 hrs wine and dinning left us very sore uncomfortable seating . The type of money the restaurant come in every night my suggestions to invest back to a well established businesses you had for the local to continued to support the restaurant not a one time experience. read more

Absolutely flawless. All the 5 star reviews are spot on. Make a reservation the day you can because it books up immediately. The flavors were incredible- even the simplicity of the side of potatoes- I'm still thinking about it! Chicken live pate was perfect, as were all of the fish dishes. The ricotta gnocchi was everything I hoped it would be. But the showstopper was the Lowcountry Bourride. The broth was probably the most delicious broth I've ever had - I've never had anything like it. Regrettably, we were too full for dessert, but we savored every bite. Service was lovely. Absolutely the highlight of our trip to Charleston. read more

I purchased a gift card for my parents and the experience was disappointing. The restaurant was crowded and loud. The waiter was inattentive even though he stood next to the table talking to other guys for over 10 minutes. The food was way over priced for the quantity and quality. When the waiter brought the check he said his name for the first time and said "Oh, I forgot to bring extra bread for you to dip into your oyster sauce". The oysters were the appetizer! I purchased this gift card because they live in the area and based on other reviews I thought it would be a nice experience. I will not be purchasing them a gift card to this restaurant again. They will be telling all their friends in the community about this experience as well. read more

There are a thousand reviews telling you to eat at FIG. They are all correct. You should definitely eat at FIG. The food was fantastic. The service (Hi, Ryan F!) was great. Our server was friendly and chatty, but not clingy. He was professional. Part of that is FIG. They are professional. I really appreciated the little fine dining details, like not clearing our plates until the last of us had finished. But it didn't feel stuffy. The interior is beautiful. And now, story time: I was in town with three friends for a joint 40th birthday party. We've been friends for 30 of them. We wanted to do one dressy night out. But we didn't figure out where to eat until all but the 10:30 reservations were filled. We're 40. We can't eat that late. So we decided to try for the community table. We got there at 5pm and there was already a small crowd outside. Fortunately, they were all reservations, so we got the community table. We were quickly joined by two single parties. And we all chatted. And chatted and chatted. One more couple came and filled the table. And we chatted. It was a magical social evening. We even ended up sharing a couple of desserts. Then, we all went across the street for after dinner drinks. I appreciate that the community might not be for everyone, but it worked out to be a non-fantastical kind of magic for me and my friends. read more

Amazing ambiance, a lot of the food was incredible and mouth watering. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is the fish was very fishy. I couldn't take a bite of it without the sides to mask the overwhelming fishyness.
