The restaurant seems to be showing its age. The gnocchi is still great. The atmosphere, service, and other dishes are in decline. At the price point there are better options in Charleston. They have removed the lime cream puff from the menu, if you are/were a fan of it.

Quite possibly the best culinary and dining experience I've ever had. The food & service was perfect in every way. Grab a reservation, because this is a must try restaurant.
Get your reservations early for this 5-star restaurant! Order the three bees signature cocktail made with bourbon! You can thank me later.

Absolutely phenomenal! The gnocchi -- we could just eat that for dinner!!! Exquisite! The entrees feature some ingredients that we would normally not prefer, but because of the uncanny skill of the chefs, the combinations are delicious! The food is locally sourced, immaculately presented and amazingly delectable! And the sorghum pudding (cake) -- MY GOODNESS! FIG was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Thank you!
Food is good. The menu rotates based on fresh ingredients but a good variety - meat, fish, etc options. I am a pescatarian and plenty of options. Cocktails are well made and solid wine list (I am a picky California). Service was friendly and helpful. The restaurant is nice - choose to eat at the bar even though I had a table reservation. Make RESERVATIONS!Dietary restrictions: Pescatarian

The meal we had here was hands down the best we've had in Charleston so far. And with the best I mean spectacular. We had the Dutch Fork Pumpkin soup, chicken liver pate, schnitzel and a couple desserts and everything was absolutely fantastic. Not to mention the cocktails.. the lady who creates and makes them is an absolute genius. The dirty Martini is probably the best Martini we've ever had, the other cocktails on the menu are sublime and the specialty ones she made were phenomenal.Everyone we spoke to before we went spoke highly of FIG and all of it was true. We sat at the bar and the food, service and drinks were top notch. If you can get a reservation, don't even hesitate and make it. It's worth it all.

This Charleston staple has been around for a long time. They hardly need my review because clearly their reviews speak for themselves. However, I wanted to say that my dining experience at Fig was spectacular! The Bouillabaisse was amazing. And our server recommended the Ricotta Gnocchi + Lamb Bolognese for an appetizer. It was so flavorful. I do not have one negative thing to say about Fig. It was crowded but reservations go fast. We luckily booked close to a month in advance. Service was incredible. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who visits Charleston.

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. I remember the food being a bit underwhelming for the price but am looking forward to going back and trying more. As far as ambiance goes, this place fills up quickly and consequently is a bit noisy but not in a bad way!

Truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. This restaurant lives up to the hype. The food was incredible. The service was great, from the kind hostess to wait staff, everyone was professional. I love that the menu changes daily and the chef is clearly passionate about his profession. We ordered the pumpkin soup, delicious but beware very slightly spicy. Yellowtail carpaccio was sooo good. We got the gnocchi both ways, both ah-mazing, the best gnocchi I’ve ever had! I could literally live off of this alone for the rest of my life. As entrees, we had the steak (yummy), fish (even better), and I think bourride. All very good but for me the gnocchi and sorghum pudding were the standouts. If you only go for one thing, get either of those two and you’ll be happy as a clam.

I came to FIG with my partner with great expectations. The reviews suggest this is a world class restaurant, but it was just slightly above average. The ambience was okay. It was dimly lit and we were seated close to other tables. Our server seemed disappointed that we did not order an appetizer or drinks and I came to find out why. The portions are super small and are overpriced! There is no complimentary appetizers like bread or biscuits. Another problem is their options are very limited. Great food, small portions.
