Fig & Ginger Honolulu

Very disappointed with my experience, or lack of experience here. I made a reservation 3 weeks in advance and when we arrived, our table was not ready and were told we had to wait until another party left in order for them to accommodate my party of 6. When I glance over at the table she is waiting to leave, I notice the people just started eating so obviously the table would not be ready anytime soon. In the meantime, they took a walk-in party of 4, which left me confused and even more annoyed bc I thought another table was going to be added to the 4 top they just sat the walk-in at. We inquire again about our reservation and the hostess advised that they were going to put (only) 2 tables together longways, which to me still is the same amount of table space and sounds very cramped for 6 people. 20 mins have now passed and we're still waiting. At this point, we decided we don't want to eat there anymore as we didn't even receive an apology for the wait and they just seemed so nonchalant about the keeping us waiting. We decided to take our business elsewhere where it would be appreciated (and it was, so it all worked out). Still, we were so disappointed as we were so excited to eat here. I would suggest this place not even bother with reservations bc they will disregard it. You can only make a reservation for a party of 6 or more and as you can see from their pics, this place is tiny so you'd think they would set aside the large table in the middle and would be the whole point of the reservation for larger parties. In fact I was at another establishment on Thursday that had specific tables that were only for parties of 6 or more. It was just a really, really strange experience.

They said they were open, we arrived and the sign said open but it was closed so we can't really rate it

I only go there my favorite ube pudding for my desert. Great plate presentation but little pricey

Sandwiches and toasties were really good. Service was super friendly, a little on the smaller side for eating in.

I came to Fig & Ginger for brunch today, ordered a honey rose coffee and French toast. Never got the French toast. The waitress brought me the bill and walked away. I reminded her that I ordered the French toast and she pretended to be unaware but this is AFTER we had a whole discussion about what to get between French toast and waffles in which I settled on the French toast. She was fully aware of my order. I reminded her of this and then she said that she didn't know if I settled on what to get but if that was the case, why wouldn't you come back and ask if I had made a decision yet instead of giving me the bill?? She was unapologetic about the whole thing, bad service. Wasted 30 minutes of my time sitting there waiting for an order that she never put in.

Easy 10/10

Unassuming location, and nicely decorated inside.

I had a latte & the fig, salami and goat cheese sandwich with a side caeser. Everything was perfect, even the the caeser salad had no right being that good.

Excellent brunch. Great food prepared with care. The corn fritters are the best we had ever tasted.
Well worth the short walk from the centre of Waikiki.

A horrible experience. I had dinner there the other night and there was only another couple dining. We had the bacon and mushroom penne pasta and the short ribs. Both dishes were overly salty. So much that we could only eat half of our food. The best part was the curried cauliflower.

Service was non-existent. We walked in and the hostess was talking with the kitchen staff. Her back was turned towards the front and she did not see us until a few minutes later. Throughout our dinner, she spent her time in the back of the house. Like I said, service was non- existent. I waited at the counter to pay and again, waited until she came out from the kitchen.

Small restaurant, but great atmosphere and some of the best breakfast we’ve had. The waffles were incredible. Fresh made whipped cream, bruleed banana, incredible syrup, and figs. The mushroom baked eggs were a similar version to shakshuka and incredible. Great fresh pressed juice as well. Would recommend.

Definitely worthwhile for happy hour (5-6pm). The prices are good and the portion sizes are large for the price. The steak poutine fries and the wagyu sliders were great. The truffle fries were good. The corn fritter elote and smashed potatoes were meh. The fritters didn’t have much flavor and it would have been nice if the “smashed potatoes” were actually smashed (they were just whole roasted potatoes). They don’t serve alcohol, but it’s BYOB so you can keep with the happy hour cost saving theme. Service was good and fast.

A couple of gripes: they have no blinds, shades, tint, or anything to block the blinding sun from entering the restaurant when it’s at the right angle (which is when it’s setting…aka during happy hour). The other is that the tiny space is extremely echoey. It makes it difficult to hold a conversation if there’s more than one other party in the restaurant at the same time as you because it gets just so loud.

The minor gripes are easily fixable, and I’ll still probably be back anyway because their happy hour is so good.

Cozy place with great breakfast dishes and authentic matcha lattes! I will definitely be going back to try the rest of the cuisine.

We wish the Mashed Avocado's veggies had been cooked slightly longer and mildly seasoned. Cutting the bread was a chore. The ingredients of The Caprese were fresh but overpowered by the saltiness of the prosciutto. The small dining area is very acoustically alive, making it hard to hear people close by when the dining area is full.

Crazy good food. The steak melt is the best steak sandwich I've ever had. The restaurant is easy to get to and get in and out of. It also has its own parking lot.
