Decor is upscale and there is the lingering smell of truffle throughout the restaurant.
Recently went here for dinner. Was pretty good, but the AC wasn't working and it was hot in here. That was one letdown, we pretty much sweated thru dinner which wasn't fun as we were indoors. When we arrived, we were seated pretty quickly for an 8 pm reservation on a Saturday night. We started with the crostinis, and as we were a party of 3 we ordered 9 of them. They were really good, enjoyed them a lot. We had some with prosciutto, some with fig, and some with goat cheese, and liked them all. The cocktails were pretty good too, I went for an old fashioned and it was made perfectly. We also shared a bottle of stags leap merlot, which was great, and I had the veal Milanese for dinner, which I thought was just ok. Really was nothing special, if I went back I wouldn't get it again. They also bring out bread with a few different olive oils for tasting, which is a nice touch at the beginning of the meal.
Now, the service was kind of weird, at times too fast, at times too slow, and our waiter complained about the heat and his bus boys the whole time, which got annoying. We weren't finished with the apps when they brought out the entrees, which I hate. Maybe they were trying to turn the table over, but regardless I wasn't happy about that. For dessert we had planned something special for our friend's birthday, and we enjoyed the chocolate warm cake thing they put a candle in for her. I thought for what we got it was expensive too.
The decor in here is pretty cool, the place is very trendy, fits right in for the meatpacking district. There's a large, ornate bookshelf when you walk in, and the bar is a huge square in the middle of the restaurant. I like this place, but that's about it. As far as dress code, I had one jeans and a polo and was fine. Some people were even wearing shorts and trendy t shirts.
It's a pretty nice restaurant with high ceilings and lot of space. Very modern yet simple decor. Great ambience.
The service was good, and when we arrived we were immediately seated. However, food was average. I wasn't blown away by the crostinis, but they were not bad.
Overall, I think it's a decent place to try.
Beautiful restaurant. I really liked everything that I had but I found the service to be spotty and for this type of level I think it needs a touch of improvement. Don't get me wrong, it's not suppose to be a hurried pace in here, just noted that service was not regular. Food on the other hand was very good. I didn't have anything that would be considered average. The mushroom croquetes were amazing. Loved the gazpacho and the burrata was very, very good. They offer a 3 course lunch that will leave you completely satisfied. Portions are on the large size except for dessert which I found just right…not that I'm complaining about it. Many servers will be helping you out which is a nice touch and they seemed friendly. They offer various locations. While were at it, let's improve the ice tea: flavour it up a bit as it was on the strong side and not impressive. Overall great, just a star less for service but nothing that should get in the way of a great experience.
So we made a reservation on open table and in the special notes said it was a birthday dinner – that wasn't acknowledged
I found the place with a Groupon
I use groupon to point out. Restaurant in an area I want to explore and try a new place – then when I like it I go back with friends and all that
I'm assuming I was treated like I didn't matter because of the groupon
At first out waiter was the bomb ! With amazing recommendations , he was pleasant and helpful
But the. Took a turn for the worst!
I was never offered to order a 2nd drink… So I had no drink for over 1/2 my dinner
When my dinner (lamb chops- cooked to perfection and the presentation simply amazing) came out I had no fork and knife to eat. I told my fiancé to please start eating bc his fish would get cold – we shared a fork bc no one came to check on us for so long my food started getting cold.
I flagged him down then called after him again and asked about a glass of wine (I always planned on having a glass of red wine with my dinner) by the time he had come back with the menu my dinner was more than 1/2 done
So I decided I wouldn't get one and just get a double espresso with whatever I chose for my broth day dessert
But THE BILL CAME!
He didn't ask how the food was didn't ask if I want coffee or dessert!
I sat there as my fiancé was STILL DRINKING his cocktail with a bill In front of me!!! HOW INCREDIBLY RUDE
I would like to say I could rate the place better bc the food was exquisite but the service ruined my meal and my birthday
I went down the block to a bar and had a beer for dessert bc they didn't serve desserts (YUCK!)
Super disappointing – I do not recommend !
Fig & Olive is a solid bet for dinner in the Meatpacking district. I've been here several times and most recently this past Thursday with a girlfriend. Apparently on Thursday nights they have some sort of pink ladies theme with a DJ and drink specials.
I had a few of their martinis which were heavenly and they had a large selection of drinks and wine.
It is also restaurant week so we opted for the $42 menu. I started out with
+ Mushroom crostini with artichoke, truffle, parmesan
– Shrimp crostini with avocado, cilantro, tomato
+ Octopus crostini with hummus, pimenton
All were heavenly. I highly suggest getting a few crostinis to share with the table. The shrimp one I wasn't crazy over, but the other two were AMAZING
+ Paella del mar – paella with seafood (scallops, mussels, octopus, you get the idea!) This was great and surprisingly light. They don't give you a huge portion (or maybe because I ordered off of the restaurant week menu) but it's enough and properly entree size. The peas were a bit overkill as there must have been a zillion (and who the hell even LIKES peas?!) but nonetheless, solid dish to order.
I finished with the chocolate mousse for dessert which was awesome.
This is a loud sceney type place but great to go every once in awhile. Don't come here expecting the best food you ever had in your life but there is a huge menu of both food and drinks, lively/hip ambiance, and decent food.
I will definitely be coming back!
This place is pretty glamorous. Great for when you want to impress. When I first looked at the menu, nothing really spoke to me. But we were a decent sized group so we all ordered a few things to start… And I'm so glad we did. Everything was exquisite. We ordered a bunch of the apps and a few entrees – you can't go wrong. Even the small side veggies/salads were extremely flavorful. Great place!!!
I frequent this location and for a variety of occasions, but always for dinner. The times I can specifically remember were a casual dinner with the family, a dinner and drinks night with some friends, and on a valentines day date for the pre-fix menu. Each and every time, I am pleased with the food here as well as the service. I recommend the crostinis, my-my their crostinis are truly something. Salads are absolutely scrumptious. We had a huge steak which wasn't really consistient in flavor, I also can't knock them for it, afterall it was packed at 10pm on a Saturday night.
