    Amazing

    AMAZING! The small plates are definitely better than the big plates but DELICIOUS! I recommend the Jamon with Fig and Goat Cheese.

    Bring a sandwich

    If only I remembered to pack a pb&j in my pocket beforehand. This place is the ultimate of phony "trendy" restaurants in NYC. Let this be a warning before hand: if you're any sort of a normal human being that likes to eat food and be full, you will leave this restaurant STARVING. The entree portions were meant for children below the age of 4. The scallop and shrimp paella could have fit into a Gerber jar...Seriously. I can't stress enough how I urge everyone to never order that dish if they're remotely hungry. I heard the Crostinis are good, but again, if they're gonna offer entrees on their menu, they must be substantial. Especially if they're gonna charge $30 a piece.

    I guess they needed the table...

    Had a reservation for 7pm on a week night. As soon as it appeared as my table was done eating they took our plates. Immediately after the waitress brought the bill. She attempted to take the bill before we even paid. As soon as we paid the waitress collected our napkins. It was 8 pm at this point- 1 hour after our reservation- not a fine dining experience- and the waitress took our water glasses- it was clear they wanted our table- so we left. Although the food was delicious- this treatment was rude and unprofessional

    My favorite

    I go to Fig and Olive weekly, if not more. The quality of the food is never disappointing and even if the waiters are serious and not super talkative, they do their job and they do it well. The ingredients are always extremely fresh and their drinks are always delicious. Maybe it's because I'm always there but the managers are so kind and accommodating. Its honestly perfect for a date, dinner with friends, or even to pick up from. Overall, wonderful dining experience.

    Expensive for what you get

    Our first encounter watching a waiter laugh at us we tried to maneuver our shopping bags in a tight space. It was a clealy an unkind laugh. I ordered the pasta with scallops. There were 4 small over cooked scallops. The pasta was so dry I could not eat it. The service a inattentive. We had to wait a very long time after we finish our meal for our server to return to our table. We asked for the bill and left. I wish I left as soon as we saw the waiter being rude. Expensive for what you get and the quality of the food too.. With all the wonderful restaraunts in NYC I don't know why anyone would choose to eat here.

    You have to try it...

    I always wanted to try this little hot spot on the upper east side. The restaurant was full of patrons and I didn't have a reservation. The hostess told me it would be 5 minutes to get a table. I gladly accepted to wait. After 2 minutes my wife and I were shown to our table. Although it was busy the waiter approched the table immediatley and brought 3 complimentary olive oils from different regions. We started the dinner with 6 varieties of crostinis which were well presented and flavored. For our entrees we choose the Branzino and the Lamb Skewers. Both entrees were well seasoned and delicious. I can't believe they DON'T use butter. The dishes are very light but full of flavors. That's what I call "Healthy eating". I will recommend this place to all my friends.

    Its okay

    My first time here was with my husband when we were looking for a place to eat. We decided to try Fig and Olice. I ordered Quiche and my husband ordered some sort of carpaccio. It was good until after 2 bites,mu quiche tasted wrong. Gah! I told the waitress and she and the manager apologized and offered me another food but i declined.Kinda lost my appetite but we ordered dessert which is absolutely good. It was something chocolate. Second time we came here,I ordered something safe,a salad. Food was really good.
