Had a lovely experience with the decor and sitting outside. Unfortunately, all of the food came cold… including some short ribs so I don’t think we’ll be back.

As others have said… it’s a pricey restaurant so you would expect someone to bag out remaking food rather than just leaving to go containers on the table. The fish was bland and lamb skewer almost raw. Server was nice. We were seated upstairs which was nearly empty so the experience was less than we expected. My daughter and I dine out frequently and have been to almost every restaurant in the Gold Coast. Better to stick to Gibson’s

We celebrated 3 birthdays at Fig and Olive. The service couldn’t have been any better. They really worked hard to make our event special. The food was wonderful as always. Our only complaint was the noise. They had a DJ playing music way too loud. That made diners talk even louder.

Too bad. I used to love this place pre-pandemic. Service was not great. We are told you need to order everything at once because of “the way the kitchen is set up”. We were there at 4:30pm and the place was empty. Server took our plates or attempted to do so without asking when food was clearly still on them and we were eating! Wine list is over priced for what you get. Our Chablis tasted fine but it was $113/bottle (it’s a $25 bottle of wine at retail) so $75 max should have been the price. You are hard pressed to find a wine under $90 on their menu. I could live with the prices if the service and food matched up. On a positive note the fries were awesome. The guy at the table next to us had the same experience and when he asked if his young son could get served right away because he was hungry the server scowled and made some comment that it would mess things up but did it reluctantly. Again the place is still pretty empty!

Pricey restaurant so I was expecting everything to be excellent. However, there were some minor improvements I would suggest: make sure diners have steak knives when eating steak, make sure diners are not waiting too long between appetizers and entrees. Everything else was great, thanks.

Fig & Olive use to be one of our favorite going out experiences. The ambience needs some updates, Sunday lunch menu has changes to breakfast / brunch menu and it seems there has been a change in the management.

Service was excellent. Very energetic crowd. Fish dishes all good. Sides are small and just ok. A few vegetables provided with entree. Be satisfied with those. Lemon cake dessert good with vanilla ice cream but not big enough to share. Ordered coffee. They were out of it. What?

My meal at Fig and Olive was a fantastic dining experience. I had walked out of two other Chicago restaurants the night before due to no service. Fig and Olive has been able to retain the great service, and innovative menu that was well executed. Mark, my server, did a great job and while busy, made sure everyone was taken care of. The crustinis, as usual were unique and flavorful. My salmon was excellent and it was matched with some well chosen vegetables. In what appears to be a very challenging dining era in Chicago, this restaurant has continued a tradition of a unique style of food that will bring me back anytime I am in the area.

Excellent food and service. Went on a Monday evening at 6:00. Hira was our very nice server. Started out with the delicious lavender cocktail, then the lamb skewers, then the fish tangine. All wonderfully delicious And nicely presented. Topped off with the napoleon dessert. I’ll be back!

Waited 20 minutes for our reserved table, wasn’t offered any compensation for the wait time. First thing our server asks us is if we are ready to order entrées. We proceeded to order an appetizer. Then after we specifically asked for a salad to be it’s own course. They brought the salad out with our entrées. The bartenders lied about having the ingredients to make a basic cocktail.

We sat down for brunch and immediately ordered a black coffee and an iced tea. It took 30 (30!!!) minutes for the waitress to come back with our drinks. I have no issues with a leisurely paced meal but that was absurd. We had been ready to order for 25 of those minutes we were waiting. We then were rushed for wait for our food and eat our meals to get an an appointment in the afternoon. Soured our experience!

Let me start by saying I have loved this restaurant. I ate there several times a year before Covid and this was my third Easter dinner at Fig & Olive. They didn’t reopen for a very long time and now I wonder if it was because some genius decided to reimagine the menu. They used to routinely bring three olive oils in little bowls to the table for tasting. Yesterday they did a tiny pour of one of two choices (with some outstanding olive bread) but only after we asked. The traditional grilled lamb chops in lemon, olive oil and herbs (an Easter staple) were not offered. Instead there was a lamb shoulder preparation with yogurt and polenta cubes. It was good but not great. The menu in general is now appetizer heavy. I might try the restaurant again but we’ll go elsewhere next Easter.

The restaurant is beautiful. The food was tasty, but the service not so good. Once we were seated it took forever to receive water, even though the restaurant was not very crowded at the time. They were out of the bottled champagne for the mimosa service advertised on the Easter brunch menu -- very disappointing. And, although we ordered drinks before ordering our entrees, the entrees were served, but the drinks still hadn't arrived. More attentive service is expected from a restaurant as pricey as this one.

One of the worst dining experiences in Chicago! An over promised and under-delivered menu & dining experience. Overpriced menu options. Waitresses could not care less. She was abrupt and borderline rude. She uncorked the overpriced bottle of wine we bought and didn’t realize there were bits of cork left in the bottle. We had to request a decanter. No apologies offered as if she didn’t care! We order appetizers and main courses. We specified the temperature of the meat we ordered and it came all wrong. While my dining party had all their menu courses, I had to wait for mine. Terrible customer service. Again, she had another chance to make it right and she blew it off! We have never been this aggravated and disappointed at a restaurant in Chicago before. We are not going to be returning. So many amazing choices in Chicago!

We used an Open Table award for $110 as payment. Fig and Olive was not able to process the award, but gave the credit anyway. I believe the problem was with Open Table not the restaurant. The manager, Laura, was very kind and helpful.

The waiter required us till place our entire order at the start due to limitations in the kitchen. We waited nearly an hour between first course and entree. Shortly before it arrived a Manager arrived to assure it was coming and advise the chef had some problem with our steak orders. They were very large not cooked to order, and not very good. We were hungry. The management offered us a take away dessert, which because of the experience we accepted. With tip this was a $300 dinner for three diners. We were unimpressed. This is the first ever message I have left on a restaurant.

My wife and I were having a date night and chose Fig & Olive. We arrived and were promptly sat. Lea our waitress promptly greeted us and took our drink order. She was very sweet and professional. We ordered a couple of appetizers and our entrees. Lea continued to check on us throughout our meal and did a great job taking care of us. We love the ambiance of the restaurant, as well as the food. It was our second time dining here, and we are excited to return again!
