What a great restaurant! It lives up to its reputation.

Does Fig really need another rave review? I say yes! My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful meal and experience on a Wednesday night. The restaurant is lively, but not loud. It's lovely inside. The host and waitstaff were absolutely incredible
Got a late reservation here for a Friday birthday dinner
Got a late reservation here for a Friday birthday dinner and they definitely delivered. Had a great server who helped us on what to order and we loved everything we got. Not everything pictured but oysters were great, seafood was good but the gnocchi
Legendary date nights at the bar!
The food here blows my mind EVERY TIME. My husband and I always sit at the bar and order just about every small plate on the menu. Each one is fabulous, with this visit’s standout dishes being the oysters, sweet corn + polenta soup, wagyu tartare,

This restaurant is very hard to get into, and for good reason. You need to make reservations well in advance. The food is to die for, we didn't have a bad bite. The wait staff is efficient, and courteous. So often a restaurant doesn't l

Fist time trying triggerfish
I sat at the bar for a late dinner on Thursday. Bartenders were great going over menu. I was set on getting the ricotta gnocchi and they recommended the triggerfish as a main course. The ricotta were perfect little pillows of cheese. The Bolognese sa
A true Charleston staple & establishment.
I'll be dreaming about the gnocchi starter for long after this meal! The beef tartare was also perfectly light. The ambiance was so relaxing and such a vibe. Our waitress brought an energy I didn't think possible to a meal?? Definitely add
Food was delicious.
Service was great. The staff gave us great recommendations on food and drinks. Ambiance was beautiful. Recommend getting a reservation if you can. We sat at the bar, which is great for admiring the ambiance and people watching.

FIG was good, but not my favorite.
Inside was definitely a great vibe for a date night or to celebrate with a small group a special occasion. I went with a small group of friends and ordered a good amount and really only two things stuck out to me. Our server was great, high energy

The food at Fig was absolutely incredible!! The service was great. We had oysters, bruschetta, and pasta. It had a romantic atmosphere, perfect for a date night. Highly recommend if you're in Charleston!
One of my favorite restaurants in Charleston.
The brioche crusted fish is a repeat favorite. This past visit, we also had the tomato tart with a goat cheese mousse, corn velouté with polenta, and the pork schnitzel. They do a phenomenal job highlighting seasonal ingredients. Only wish we had mo
One of my favorite places in Charleston, if not anywhere.

Delicious High-end Restaurant
Wow! Although we hadn’t planned ahead with reservations, we were lucky to get in at 5 pm for dinner. We sat at the bar and had great service from Ian. We had a couple different fish dishes and we were not disappointed! The fig dessert was amazing

Wow! Fig was a recommendation from a local he was insistent on my friend and I going. That said, we changed our plans and of course on a Friday night there was a wait. The wait turned out to only be 20 minutes and well worth it. I rarely have a me
Amazing dinner at FIG
As always - FIG was amazing - the food is always so wonderful - the cherry tomato tartine was delicious and they are always so good at making something special for my partner who has an allium allergy - they go out of their way to make him something
Outstanding!
Thu evening, July '25. Every table booked and seated by 5:45. Service was outstanding...personal, attentive, unintrusive, knowledgeable with recommendations. Food and drinks outstanding. Our table of 4 each order a different entree...bouilla
Above all, our server (and staff) gave us a 10+ experience.
We split several entree's to try a assortment of the menu, but any one could have been a favorite. Everything tasted so good and double fresh. The pâté is a 'must try'.
The best meal I've ever eaten.
Great recommendations and even better service. Highly recommend tomato tart and gnocchi.
2nd visit.
This was my second visit and it was as good as the first! Lauren was our waitress and she was great! Appetizer choice was burnt eggplant and cottage cheese. So yummy. I got the Ricotta Gnocchi + Lamb Bolognese and it was delicious! Just a great
FIG by name, FIG by nature.
We sat at the bar. Best decision...going to FIG, and sitting at the bar. Marvelous food. Chatted with the staff. Chatted with a couple next to us. Chatted with a couple the other side. Had a really great time, enjoyed it a lot. Negatives...the wine r
Very Interesting Menu
Have been visiting Charleston for over 25 years and can’t believe we’ve FIG has not been a destination. Wonderful but very interesting menu. (Not for the Picky Eater) My wife and I both had the Gray Trigger Fish (had not heard of it) and it was a
Simply lovely!
Fig is a charming, intimate and somewhat formal atmosphere for nuanced, fine cuisine. A sister restaurant to The Ordinary, Fig is a perfect place for a lovely dinner and conversation. We enjoyed a delicious starter of baby Romaine lettuce with haze

Really unique/delicious dinner with fresh ingredients.
The best part was the dessert (that I forgot to take a picture of). We had cream puffs, dessert cocktails and a bread pudding type dessert with amaretto ice cream. The space is intimate and cute, perfect setting for a date night!
This place was a meh for me .
... Mind you I only got dessert... the dishes that I did see come out seem a little over rated in my opinion. Seemed to be over priced average food. As for the dessert I ordered... "Sticky Sorghum Pudding"? ... not sure where they came up
Absolutely the best in Charleston.
Worth the wait for reservations. Whole staff really goes above and beyond. Atmosphere is impeccable.

This restraint was charming with exceptional service. The schnitzel was the best I have ever had in my life, perfectly crispy with a cider vinaigrette salad on top which was a great flavor combination. The cocktails were delicious and strong. Our wai
Charleston is a foodie city.
If you are reading this then you know this is a highly recommended restaurant. In short it was just ok. Compared to other stellar restaurants in this area. I think it needs to be said that the food, and the service were not yo to the standard I expec
Glad we did it once. Other options might be better.
Enjoyable experience. Gnocchi and potato purée were the highlights. Steak, while good, was not great. Service was excellent - our waiter was top notch. While we enjoyed and happy we experienced this place - I don’t think we would go back with so
Happy in Charleston! Secret seating!
SO glad this place was recommended to us by our travel guide. Well worth the visit! Secret....they are booked 1 month out but they sit 13 seats(bar and communal table) with 13 seats and they flip about every 1 1/2 hours so dont be afraid to walk in
My husband I and I stopped into the bar at 5:05 pm.
The restaurant just opened for the evening and we sat at the bar for a drink. After the bartender brought our drinks, she asked if we were ready to order and we said no, we were just here for cocktails. She quickly let us know that she would have to
It was a nice place.
It was a little dark and the potatoes needed salt (only reasons to knock off a star). The service was EXCEPTIONAL!! Each staff member we encountered was gracious and knowledgeable! The food was exactly as expected and in accordance with all the revie

From start to finish, we enjoyed what we consider to be our best meal thus far in this city. The staff are all knowledgeable about the menu and clearly know the meaning of quality customer service. The place is breathtaking, and the food is so great
This Charleston staple has been around for a long time.
They hardly need my review because clearly their reviews speak for themselves. However, I wanted to say that my dining experience at Fig was spectacular! The Bouillabaisse was amazing. And our server recommended the Ricotta Gnocchi + Lamb Bolognese
Loved!! Jennifer took care of us.
Excellent service. Pate, tartare, pork schnitzel, swordfish, potato puree,desserts all wonderful.
Food is good.
The menu rotates based on fresh ingredients but a good variety - meat, fish, etc options. I am a pescatarian and plenty of options. Cocktails are well made and solid wine list (I am a picky California). Service was friendly and helpful. The restauran
Delicious and unique.
Thoroughly enjoyed the entire night! Great atmosphere too. Will definitely be back!
Stopped in for a drink at the bar recently.
The service was better and more personable when I dined at a table a few months back. I remember the food being a bit underwhelming for the price but am looking forward to going back and trying more. As far as ambiance goes, this place fills up quick
Connect with users posting reservations for FIG Charleston
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with FIG Charleston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to FIG Charleston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the FIG Charleston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at FIG Charleston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at FIG Charleston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
