Our Fifth Avenue location on 52nd Street near Cartier's Mansion comprises two open floors. Downstairs, the bar invites you to escape with one of our signature cocktails and a trio of crostini. Upstairs, our beautiful dining rooms provide the perfect setting for an elegant dinner or business lunch. Close enough to make your curtain, but far enough away from the bustle of Times Square to make your pre-theatre dinner a relaxing start to an evening in the city.

    Never have a bad meal here and reasonable priced for lunch! It is very loud though. I couldn’t hear my guest at times. But it won’t stop me from going back :). Chicken pauillard was great but the Branzino is the way to go! Didn’t love the shrimp bruschetta but their bread is amazing.

    My two girlfriends and I went to Fig and Olive. We always share everything. Our meal was delicious. Wonderful Mediterranean flavors in the Crostinis, mezzo, lamb kebabs, tuna meatballs and salmon. Of course dessert peach fragipane tart

    I’ve been to F&O various times before before and the food was good. Last night the quality of the appetizers was just not good at all. The bread on the crostini was mushy, the grilled octopus had no taste and the zucchini chips was cold. The restaurante walls and decor on the first floor look old and not taken care of. The food and restaurant used to be so much better.

    Diners are seated on top of each other when the restaurant is not full. The loud diners next to me were practically screaming and ruined my meal. The servers try to turn tables fast. Fist and second course out before my cocktail arrived. Prefer lunch at this place.

    love F&O as always. Two observations from recent visits. Egg and Avocado toast, should be both halfs of the egg, no one expect half an egg and it's cheap. When ordering a protein for a salad, I'd rather have mine included in the salad, cut if it's chicken and not on a side plate.

    As much as I would like to give good reviews, we wasted our money. Waiter was so inattentive that we had to keep calling him. Food was not good. The burgers had too much mustard and overpowered it. My Paiella was dry. Also some in my group of 6 wanted the restaurant week menu and they said not if all of us was getting the same menu. Sorry, not going back.

    Server was friendly and attentive. Started with the Riviera Crostini’s. These are a must have. Flavorful and delicious. We had the salmon, polenta chicken and steak. All were cooked perfectly to order and tasty. I had the Fig & Olive salad. Loved it! I’ve been to Fig & Olive in Newport Beach, California and New York. Equally great.

    Always treated so well here. It was the holiday (4th of July) weekend so the restaurant was not crowded, in fact the upstairs was closed. So the downstairs dining area was open and quiet, not filled with the usual after work crowds. It was a relaxed, pre-theater dinner with a friend. The food was delicious, light and so well seasoned. Loved every bite.

    Had a birthday brunch for our nephew and his girlfriend. Like the sociability and multiple choices of the 'shareables'. The dips are always good. And change with various visits. Would be nice to add a gluten-free bread or cracker choice. Sides of steak and shrimp were delish with brunch salads. And candle in crème brûlée was a nice touch. Check if it is lemony...it's strong lemon you need to anticipate.

    Casual, but first rate Brunch and Lunch spot in area that needs such a place. Food always good, including Gazpacho which is often watered down. Salads excellent as are the burgers and fish. Service, including being seated, a tad spotty. But easy to overlook given F&O's charms. Enjoy.
