We absolutely LOVED FIG! The food was creative and so fresh! The 9 vegetable salad was so delicious and like no other salad I've ever had! We've been raving about FIG to everyone! Definitely a must! But make reservations a few weeks ahead to be sure to get in!

FIG was our first dinner in Charleston and we had done extensive research before lifting our first fork. We knew the chef-owner had won a James Beard award a few years ago and the buzz on FIG was very high. We were lucky to snag a 5:30 Tuesday night reservation on Open Table 3 weeks before, so plan ahead to... More

FIG (food is good) gets it. If you like to dine this is a great place for you. We are from the Boston and #9 Park is our favorite restaurant there but in Charleston FIG is the class act. All the staff understand what they are doing and do it very well. The quality of the food is tops and... More

I was lucky to be online a month before we came to Charleston and get a Monday evening reservation. Dining here was perfection form a silky, rich liver pate, to a perfectly prepared nine vegetable salad. The fish entree was perfectly executed and the squab with beets on the menu that evening was exceptional. They have a very fun cocktail... More

We had so many great meals in Charleston and this was no exception. Make a reservation if you don't want to miss out. The service was wonderful and the menu even more so. We had fish, chilled asparagus soup, local beer, and a great strawberry rhubarb cobbler. It was well worth the money and 5:30 dinner reservation.

Our evening at FIG began in an adhoc ‘waiting area’ that was never intended to be a waiting area. Even being on-time for our reservation, we had to stand for 15 minutes smashed between bar diners and a table of 7 perched on bar stools at the end. Subtract this aspect, and we had a near flawless evening. When our... More

We loved it, as we did every restaurant we selected in Charleston. But we were told that we were lucky to snag our 8:15 reservation on a recent Tues night. While we did enjoy our meal, don't feel that if you aren't able to secure a reservation, that you are missing out on the THE dining experience in Charleston. First,... More

We had a fantastic dining experience at Fig. Our server(Ashley) was very knowledgable, friendly and efficient. She made our evening there a real pleasure. The cuisine is first rate and prepared expertly. I had a mixed vegetable salad that was absolutely one of the best I've ever had. Nine veggies cooked separately and assembled beautifully with each tasting distinct and... More

Made a reservation (1 month early) to get a table at FIG during a ladies weekend getaway in Charleston. After reading so many good things about the restaurant, we all had huge expectations. We were not disappointed! The service was knowledgable and friendly. The food (from start to finish) was exceptional. We all ended up eating off of each other's... More
