FIG

We heard about FIG after arriving in Charleston and we’re blessed enough to be able to get reservations late. Although we were seated at 10 PM, our server, Drew was just as attentive and patient as if it were the beginning of the evening. One of our friends has a very restrictive diet – no gluten, no dairy.Drew went through the entire menu and was able to accommodate 3/4 of the menu along with the chef’s recommendations to suit our friend. We cook and have eaten at some of the best restaurants in the country and found FIG to be TOP TIER ! The ricotta gnocchi with lamb bolognese was absolutely outstanding. The Brioche crusted flounder was probably the best piece of fish I’ve ever put in my mouth. The textures, flavors and seasonings were spot on. We also enjoyed Escabeche, salads, Bouillabaisse, and I believe every dessert offered ! Don’t go to Charleston without visiting this restaurant!

I would skip this one if you are looking for THE BEST in Charleston. The food is not worth the cost or the hype. Under-seasoned and everything seemed to be missing something. I'm gluten-free, so my options were limited. My husband ordered a red snapper and did enjoy it. I appreciated that our server and the manager offered to re-make my steak and tried to make it right. I just wasn't impressed overall.
