The four of all came for the first time with high expectations, and they were all surpassed. The ambience is warm and inviting, the service was outstanding, the wine was perfectly paired, and the food was incredible. By far the best overall dining experience we've had in Charleston in quite awhile. Kudos!

Ended up getting two pasta dishes which were excellent, and just right since apps were filling.

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.

While the food was good, the service was just terrible. We had to wait over 30 minutes to place our order and proceeded to have 40+ minute waits between ordering, receiving our appetizers, and our mains- all to be met with a chewy steak. While we wanted dessert, we could not fathom waiting another 40+ minutes so instead we asked for the check and left cus it was basically 11pm ( for context we had an 8:30pm reservation). Wish this place was what I thought it was cracked up to be…

The service was warm, but a bit slow. The food was very good, especially the fish and the mashed potatoes are so delicious.

Hands down one of the best meals I've had in recent history. Steak tartare was unbelievable, well seasoned and served with an impossibly thin potato crisp. The lamb was served like a ribeye cap with a bordelaise-like sauce. Creative and balanced cocktails, plus a nice wine selection. And our server knew her stuff. Overall a terrific experience.

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.

After a few seconds of looking over the dessert menu I ended up going with the Torta Caprese with amaretto ice cream and caramel and the Sticky Sorghum Cake with cinnamon ice cream.
The Torta Caprese with amaretto ice cream and caramel was created with an old italian family recipe passed down to the pastry chef by her grandmother. How can you resist something like that. The cake itself was essentially flour less chocolate cake with almonds and it was delicious. The amaretto ice cream was a nice pair to the dessert, bringing out the almond flavor from the cake, but I found the amaretto flavor to be a little strong for my liking.
The Sticky Sorghum Cake with cinnamon ice cream was a play off of a the traditional British dessert sticky toffee pudding with the addition of sweet sorghum syrup (similar to molasses). The sorghum syrup added a depth of flavor to the cake that paired perfectly with the spice from the cinnamon ice cream and the sticky sweet caramel.
FIG was the perfect way to end my day and an easy recommendation for anyone in Charleston.

Good food, excellent service. One of the best restaurants in Charleston.
This is a must for foodies. Everything is fabulous, especially the tomato tarte, sourghum dessert, all cocktails and gnocchi that has always been on the menu. Trigger fish, yum!

We’re in Charleston for a long weekend and ended up at the bar for dinner two of three nights. We were able to grab a seat at the bar seamlessly both evenings. All of the bartenders were phenomenal but Ian really stood out. It’s evident he loves and takes pride in his position. The food was outstanding, the service impeccable and I can’t recommend FIG enough. If you miss unpretentious fine dining with delicious food and perfect service, this is the spot.

Long time Charleston visitor from Orlando.
the hospitality is noticeable.
As a consistent Party of One, I often feel rushed in restaurants. They didn’t rush me at all! I felt at home.
Also, I absolutely hate when restaurants take away the other serving after I’ve sat down. It makes me feel low key loser-esque as I always dine solo. Like my food mate decided not to show up. Other patrons see that and it’s not a good look.
Not FIG.
The setting for one was already there and I enjoyed that feeling. Again. Hospitality and paying attention to the reservation goes a long way.
Very charming eatery

Easily the best meal I’ve ever had! I wish I tried this place sooner. The drinks, appetizers, service, and desserts were AMAZING.
Went here on a Saturday night and took the last seat at the bar. Service and ambience were both amazing, Ian the bartender did a phenomenal job taking care of me. The food and cocktails were both top notch. I will definitely be back.
