We were in NYC to watch the Radio City show and my sister recommended this restaurant and I am so glad that we tried it! The place is big and busy, very clean and cozy! The service was great, we had reservation so we had table in couple of minutes and the food came out quickly and fresh and delicious! The menu is very small and I think it’s great! The flavor was amazing, definitely worth the price!

This is a great place and we had a wonderful time. The service was excellent, our waiter was super friendly. We ordered the seafood paella and it was absolutely delicious. The olive oil sampler was awesome. Highly recommended.

The food was good I just don't know if it's worth the price. They did have a good twist on some traditional dishes. Some of the staff was friendly others not as much as they made us feel like we were inconveniencing them. Over all I would recommend trying them as their twist on dishes is unique. Just don't think we'd go more than once.

Good Mediterranean Food I had in a while. 1. Definitely try to truffle croquettes! One of the best croquettes I had 2. Good ingredients their olive oil is really fresh and amazing, making their food also amazing. 3. Wait time was too long It took 40minutes from appetizers plates taken from main dish served.

My friends and I ventured to Fig and Olive for a special Valentine's Day dinner, and while the overall experience was pleasant, there were a few areas where things could be improved. The Positives: - Ambiance: The restaurant absolutely nailed the romantic atmosphere. The dim lighting, elegant décor, and comfortable seating created a perfect backdrop for our special evening. - Service: Despite a few hiccups, our server was friendly and attentive. They were quick to address any requests we had and genuinely seemed invested in our experience. - Food Portions: While the flavors weren't mind-blowing, the portions were generous, ensuring we left feeling comfortably full. Areas for Improvement: * Food Quality: We ordered the prefix menu for Valentine's Day. While the food wasn't bad, it lacked the "wow" factor we expected from a restaurant of this caliber. The flavors felt a bit muted and the dishes could have benefited from some bolder seasoning or more innovative combinations. * Operational Flow: Unfortunately, our experience was marred by a few logistical hiccups. Running out of bread right at the start set a slightly off-putting tone, and my friend's order arriving slightly incorrect further impacted the flow of the evening. Additionally, the wait times for food felt longer than expected, especially considering the restaurant wasn't overly busy. Overall: Fig and Olive offered a charming ambiance and friendly service, but the food quality and operational flow need some refinement to truly live up to its potential. I hope this review serves as constructive feedback to help them elevate their offerings and provide a consistently excellent dining experience for future guests ❤️

Came for the NYC Restaurant Week menu. Had a great dinner night here. Drinks were good (so good that i drank them before even taking a picture), the cucumber cosmo was a very tasty variation of this classic. Food was tasty, only ordered the vegetarian options and they didn’t disappoint. Wasn’t a big fan of the Lemon & Olive Oil Cake, although it’s a good option for those who don’t like super sweet desserts. Service was beyond perfect, our server was super sweet and the staff were always checking on us.

Average food, service, cleanliness etc. The photos made the place look more well decorated than it is. The lackluster food and drinks, perfunctory service, and food bits stuck on the menu lowered the overall quality of the experience. Not terrible though.

I have dined at Fig and Olive multiple times over the years, and it used to be a go-to spot for me, whether it was for a leisurely lunch or a late-night dinner. However, I think that the restaurant has lost its charm in recent times. While the service remains impeccable, I find that the menu and overall food quality are no longer up to par. The prices are high, but the dishes are underwhelming. The appetizers, on the other hand, stand out and overshadow the main courses. It's disheartening to see this decline, but I believe there is still hope for the restaurant to regain its former allure.I have visited Fig and Olive a few times over the years. In the past, it used to be one of my favorite spots for lunch or a late dinner. However, I feel that this place has lost its touch. Although the service is still excellent, I believe the menu and the food quality have declined. The food is expensive, but it's nothing special. The appetizers are the highlight, outshining the main dishes. It's disappointing, but I still believe there is potential for improvement to restore it to its former status.

I understand that this is family place and restaurant, maybe they trying to keep it tradicional, but food was completely tasteless 🤷🏼‍♀️ Drinks was okay. Not bad but still, OK. I would add some simple taste to the food. Or at least put some souses on a table for the choice. I would not really come there again. It’s hard to find good places in the city. This place could be great if only add taste to a simple regular food.

Food was okay, I wasn't overly impressed with anything except the rosemary olive bread starter and the peach pistachio frangipane tart dessert! Meal was so-so and it got quite crowded / somewhat loud during the lunch rush. There are better meals in the area for the same price point.

Sadly didn’t love it. We had reservations, which were not necessary. I wish when someone makes a rez they would care enough to ask where you might prefer to sit in a fairly empty restaurant. Lovely high tops available by front windows, instead we went upstairs to a tiny table in corner (albeit near window, but squished in as bench is too low for table height). Server was friendly but food was very meh. Nothing special w/ crostini (not crisp) and tabbouleh salad had very few veggies and was mostly quinoa- grain bowl, not salad. Would not recommend.

Not the place to go if you have a gluten allergy or need to be gluten free, there are so few gluten options it was almost laughable. I think it’s one of those situations where they were being overly cautious, but wow. I was the only GF at the table and we ordered the crustini’s, they all came out on Cucumber. When we asked for the original, they came out on cucumber again. The place felt a little chaotic when we first came in and even after being seated. I can’t speak to what the rest of the group got, but as a person with a gluten allergy, I would not be back.
