Lucked into a reservation during SEWE weekend.
Bartender and service were great. The standouts were our fish entrees. Both were delucious, but my snowy grouper was my best in memory. Petfectly cooked and seasoned and an interesting preparation.
We will be back!

Magical from start to finish. The gnocchi à la bolognese was pillowy and rich, the amberjack with squash velouté was beautifully balanced, and the wagyu with bordelaise was truly out of this world. Dessert sealed it: sticky sorghum pudding with almond ice cream. warm, decadent, and unforgettable.

We’ve been trying to get into FIG for a few years and the reservations are always late at night. We went yesterday around 6:30 and they get us a seat near the bar. Lauren, our server was amazingly informative and answered all of our questions in detail. Never had an empty water or wine glass. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere is pleasant and lively at the same time. Place was full all of the time. Outstanding restaurant and highly recommend but try going in and asking for an available seat without a reservation. You can always eat at the bar.

Excellent restaurant. There was a little issue with the reservation time we made and hostesses seemed a little overwhelmed. But the manager eventually sorted it out and took charge with a professional and supportive demeanor. The evening was very pleasant, our waiter very good and the food excellent – they were just recognized by the Michelin Guide for a reason. Perhaps the reason for the slight confusion initially – make a reservation, you won’t be disappointed.

Where to begin … 1. Just WOW 2. Make your reservation 4 weeks to the day at noon EST, or don’t plan on getting a table (walk-in bar seating is available) 3. Ask for one of Moss’ tables 4. Do not go if you cannot afford the entire experience 5. Ignore #4, because even having a single cocktail is worth a visit.
FIG was recommended by a local I have known for years. The menu changes daily, so be prepared to not see a single thing on today’s menu when you visit.
I had an incredible gin/champagne/Meyer lemon cocktail that I could live on. With my dinner, Moss suggested a 2018 tempranillo-garnacha, which just added to the exquisiteness of the meal. The four of us shared a paté platter and the murasaki with porcini agnolotti with freshly shaved alba truffle (at the table) . The paté was wonderful, and the brioche toast points, perfect. The agnolotti was “to die for!” My son and I both had the grilled sheepshead with carolina gold rice grits, sunchoke, capers, and brown butter. He said is was “Michelin-level,” and I am hard-pressed to disagree. My husband and daughter both had the ricotta gnocchi with a lamb bolognese, which my daughter equated to a “warm hug” and “lying on the softest pillow at the end of a long day.” If you want pasta as a main dish, you have the option of adding on another half plate. We finished by sharing sticky sorghum pudding with carolina gold rice ice cream, which was fabulous.
To tie everything together was our server, Moss. His knowledge of not just the ingredients and wines but of the regions they hail from, attention to detail, andpersonality made the night!
Thank you!!

FIG is the perfect spot in Charleston to go for a special occasion. Everything is made to perfection and the service is 10/10. This is one of the few menus where we are open to trying absolutely anything because we know it will be amazing. We had Alex as our server and he added to the experience, being able to perfectly describe complex flavors of the dishes and really paint a picture to how the dishes were made. It is pricey but very worth it. Make sure to get a reservation EARLY though because they sellout quick for weekends.

Absolutely stunning meal at the end of a holiday trip to Charleston. The menu was thoughtful, ever-changing, and built creatively around the seasonality of local foods. We can’t wait to visit again!

Not sure how anyone rates this under 5. FIG is a must while in Charleston. Wait staff is first class to pair with the amazing dishes served here. Alex crushed it tonight…Knowledgeable, personable and attentive. Here’s the gnocchi, oysters, amberjack, pork chop and sticky sorghum pudding.

Our waiter, Moss, was knowledgeable about all the details of the menu items, and he was very diligent working with the food allergies in our group. The food was amazingly well prepared. My sister said it was the best fish she’d ever had. The lamb was the most tender and tasty that I’ve ever experienced; I could cut it with a fork. Moss let us visit the kitchen to compliment the chefs. Everybody was friendly and smiling. As is the case with high end restaurants, the selection is somewhat limited, but the execution/preparation was perfect and creative.
