FIG 232 Meeting Street, Charleston, SC 29401

"Highly recommend this restaurant if you are in Charleston historic district downtown. Came to town with business colleagues and wanted a local high-end experience. We found it! Charming setting, wonderful food, great service and excellent menu creations. The liver pate was awesome and the after-dinner drink choices were impressive. Try the Amaro! We'll be back. Cheers!"

"What a fantastic dinner I had at this restaurant, no wonder it's one of the culinary staples of Charleston. As many reviewers have stated, the decor is nothing to write home about, but the food and the service were top-notch. On my trip to the South I have eaten at plenty of recommended seafood restaurants, but many of them managed to overcook fish. Fig, on the other hand, managed to cook all fish and meat dishes perfectly. Oh, and those gnocchi that everyone raves about were absolutely spectacular, probably the best ones I have ever eaten. I definitely recommend dining at this restaurant, but make sure you make a reservation way ahead of time. If you drive there, a parking lot is right around the corner."

"We made a special trip to Charleston to dine here and it was well worth the effort. The food is delicious and the service is outstanding. We arrived at opening to get seats at the bar, otherwise, we understand that reservations can be tough to get. Order the blackened eggplant. Don't even think twice. I do not like eggplant and I could die happy on a diet of just this dish. Don't pass up the gnocchi. They are light and delicious in exactly the right amount of lamb tomato sauce. When we return to Charleston, it will be to eat in this restaurant again."

"An amazing restaurant. I had a few wines (the glass list is really impressive), the schnitzel, and an espresso martini for dessert. Everything was perfect. The bar is first come, first serve and on a Wednesday night there were a few empty seats when I arrived at 6:30. Totally full at 8pm. Staff truly knew everything about the menu (Kristen was stellar). The owner/head chef chats with customers a few times a night and will suggest food/pairings. I could easily eat here every night of the week."

"First time here, super friendly, and knows staff. Great food!!! Great drinks!!! Beware the bathrooms are very dark! But a great place to get some great food. The music was pretty bad. I don't know who was back that at closing time picking it. A simple Frank Sinatra would've sufficed. Music adds a lot or takes away from the atmosphere."
