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!

It took a few minutes to be seated, even with a reservation. I ordered a drink at the table, but it never arrived. The burrata was removed from our bill, as it was quite underwhelming with regard to flavor and taste. Overall, not a bad experience, but I'm not rushing to go back.

We had a reservation for Valentine’s Day dinner and arrived on time. We were told to wait for a text and sit at the bar for the time being. After waiting for an hour we left. No status and no help from the staff. The text came when we were already home, over an hour following our “reserved” time. I’ve never had such a poor reservation experience at a restaurant in Chicago. Ruined night.

Terrible wait time of more than one hour even after making the reservation. There were so many people waiting which proves they clearly mis manage the entire reservation system. Even after getting the seat the waitress came after 20-30 minutes. Overall it took close to 2.5 hours from the time we came in the restaurant upto the time we got our first drink. Not sure if this restaurant is always like this or if it was due to Valentine’s Day rush. Either ways I expect them to honor the reservation time that we booked. Drinks and food were good and waitress was polite.

Waited over 2 hours and our food literally never came out. We left without eating. The waitress was very kind, but no food was coming out of the kitchen. Multiple tables left while we were there as well. Could be a one off? I won’t try it again to see.

Okay so had a reservation and took 15 mins to sit. The service was spotty. We literally had to keep looking for waitress and she was most of time hangin out by the bar. The drinks (I had a lemon drop) impeccable. The Mediterranean dip was tasty however for 20$ and three different dips we (two people) literally had a half a pita cut into fours to try the dip. I’d at least like to eat my appetizer or rather it come out with the same amount of dip based on the small pita portion. I’m not even kidding it was hilarious. Asked for extra pita and they brought out the other half sliced into fours and of course charged us for it. However the feta whip was amazing. The salmon wasn’t anything to write home to mommy about bit it wasn’t bad. The entire dinning experience we were wishing we only came for drinks. Great vibe and seating for the drinks and mingling with friends but for dining not so much in my opinion. Even for it to be an upscale dining experience I was left disappointed.

So we made a reservation for 830. When we arrived we were told that the table was being cleared and it would’ve a 15 min delay. No problem so we went to bar. Over the course of a hour, multiple staff members approached our party multiple times to let them know that the table was almost ready. We were seated an hour later. Granted the manager came over and comped us a bottle of champagne for the inconvenience. When we went to the dining room, it was uncomfortably warm and the table was too small for a party of 8. I felt like they were either over booked or understaffed. We didn’t get complete menus. The bread came after the appetizers and the plates weren’t even cleared yet and the main courses arrived. So the guests cleared the platters so we had room for the main entrees. If this was my first time, I would have thought this was their first night. Fine dining should not be like a dentist appnt. I thought the experience was a waste of $ and time.

We had a 7:45 reservation and waited 45 minutes and just gave up and left. We could tell they were totally understaffed and knew the dinner would probably be worse. The hosts were clueless and it was obvious that this staff has not been trained. There were NO glasses at the bar and the bartender was a total jerk. We will never go back.

Unfortunately, the service was a hot mess on Saturday night. Although our server was very nice and very competent, she was overwhelmed and consequently, we didn’t get much attention. The kitchen was also a mess. First course of appetizers came out before drinks made it to the table but the second round took almost half an hour. Plates didn’t get cleared. Pretty sure mains were under heat lamps for awhile. Definitely staffing issues. Food was pretty good overall. And it’s very lovely there. But can’t say we’d go back any time soon.

Mixed experience at Fig and Olive. The front of the house was a hot mess overall and our sever was in serious need of some training and maybe some finishing school. Bar staff were impeccably polite and the cocktails were delicious. The person that served our food was also extremely professional and pleasant. Salads were delicious and entrees were meh. Music was great.

Fig and Olive is not what it used to be. Worst service experience ever! We arrived early for our reservation but asked to be seated as there were lots of open tables. Hostess said to wait at the bar while she checked then totally forgot us so even after our reservation time passed I had to inquire about the table then wait 20 min for bartender to close tab before she would seat us so then we were 30 min past our reservation time. After being seated we sat another 15 min before seeing a waitress. The first course of Crostini took 15-20 min. Every course took a long time. After 2.5 hours we never got dessert we paid for but asked for the check and left. No adjustments were made to our check or even offered. After spending well over $400 for terrible service and steak kabobs that were super overdone and dry but with no server ever to be found it wasn’t worth the wait to even mention it. No wonder why it’s so easy to get a last minute reservation here now. Fig and olive used to be one of my favorites but not anymore.

Very disappointed. After making reservations, I was looking forward to celebrating my 80th birthday with family surrounded by the lively ambience of the dining room. Instead we were shuttled to a dreary upstairs room next to kitchen with a wobbly table. Our server was competent enough but seemed to struggle with too many tables. Will not go back.

Terrible service. We left before the entree came because we were there for two hours. Manager was rude and said it was because it’s restaurant week…not sure why this would cause a two hour wait for our food, all the tables around us had the same experience. Also the drinks were made wrong and we had to send them back.

Food was good but service was terrible. Had already been served drinks. Ordered the prix fixe at 7:45 and salad not served until 8:15 and main course not till 8:45. We dine out a lot and are sympathetic to the staffing issues that restaurants have been having but this was profoundly bad. We liked Fig and Olive pre-pandemic but there are too many other good restaurants in the area who have their acts together so we won't take a chance on coming back.

If you were used to go to F&O before Covid-19,… this restaurant is not the same anymore. From the reception where we arrived 10 mins early to cleanness, to the food experience to the service. 1 big disappointment. One thing that did not decrease at all are the prices. Making it way too expensive in proportion to what you get for your money. We arrived 10 mins early, we’re asked to wait at the bar (not a problem at all) however 30 minutes later we were still not seated, yet we did have a reservation! When asking to be seated the asked us again if we had a reservation… as if they did not remember we ‘checked in’ already 30 mins earlier and 10 minutes prior to the reservation time. They then proceeded to seat us at a 5 person table. They left the placemats at the 3 other seats, which gives a vibe if 3 people are there before but they didn’t bother cleaning the table. When we finally got to order the waiter acted strange and didn’t take the placemats either nor did he take the menus back. We did not get water. Nor the drinks we ordered. Next to me on the floor was a dried out macaroni. The little plate on which bread is normally put remained empty. It was just for decoration… pre Covid-19 they would bring bread and 3 different olive oils to try out. This is not done anymore. They then brought our food. The person bringing it was very kind. However placed the plate not aligned with how the food was placed on the plate.. and we still did not get our drinks nor water… after 10 minutes we asked to get water and our drinks. They then quickly proceeded to give them. The food was ok, however I would have paid it 40% as to what they ask for it. Waiters were not dressed as classy as they were before and were not following the same standard of quality. The desserts were a cheap replication of a millefeuille but were ok taste wise. When we left I noticed the ‘manager’ sitting at the bar with a lady friend who didn’t work there. The reception was also left empty many times.

The waitress was not attentive. Had to wait ~20min just for water, another 20min to order food. Didn’t come to check on us after the food was out (cloth napkins were missing from our table - we waited; nobody came through so we took it from the empty table beside us)- felt like they were avoiding eye contact on purpose. When we were able to get someone’s attention - they just told us to hold as as he/she was not our waitress. Also had to wait 15-20min just to pay after receiving the bill. Overall, food was great- atmosphere was very pretty. Was not satisfied with the service.
