FIG & OLIVE

Colleague and I walked in today for a cocktail and maybe an early dinner. Sat down at the bar, were stared at by the 4-5 people in the place, bartender stood 10 feet from us and didn’t say a word for 10 minutes, then he came by and cleared the area in front of us. Then he walked away and made a few drinks for another 10 minutes. Didn’t say a word. We walked out. Very posh feel to this place but we received zero service or acknowledgement. We went down the street to a spot with a chill vibe and a good patio. Had a great time.

Fabulous decor... very mediocre food. Drinks were great! Octopus itself was good but needed some type of sauce to compliment it. Sud & Soleil salad...

This place seems to get worse each time - service, food, drinks. I wouldn't be surprised if they're on the verge of shutting down. They literally started...

Drinks and service were good. I enjoyed the hangar steak. Did not care for sea bass. The truffle fries were amazing. Drinks were good. I enjoyed the lavender drink.

I sat at the bar. The bartender was less than attentive, but the drink I had and rhe food were wonderful. The drink was a delightful, not too sweet cirtus concoction...the Rossellini. I had the choice of three crostini. The blend of flavors were subtle; each an exciting taste experience. The lamb skewers...I don't know how to describe the right balance of spice with the delicious accompaniments.

The ambiance here is truly best in class - a lot of attention was paid to creating a subtle, sharp, but warm style of lighting, the design of the space is similarly well constructed, with large seating areas that have likewise large amount of space for walking and traversing around the bar. The central bar location draws the eye and exudes a sense of energy. Wide range of Mediterranean cuisine, along with great bar food like truffle fries, which were absolutely soaked in delicious truffle oil. The side of rainbow carrots and sweet potatoes was my other favorite. I hope to do the dinner portion with hummus and pomegranates next time. Artistic presentation and style as well. Drinks were another highlight, the Tres Serieux was essentially an orange-apricot forward Old Fashioned with a great complexity of flavor and strength. Wine prices were reasonable and ended up getting a bottle of Rose with my date as well. Service was another high point and reason to come. I had made reservations but ended up sitting at the bar and the host, Armani came to check if we were okay where we were. Mileena, our bartender was engaging, funny and had a great sense of presence. Offered great suggestions and had a strong sense of authenticity.

We came for my birthday, reserved table in advance. We got there early and waited for an hour. They eventually put us in some wierd back area. We used to come year yearly since it opened and was great but it seems customer service is at least for us not available. Several other groups got tables easily. Will not go back.

We had a fantastic lunch at a beautiful restaurant right off of Rush Street in the Gold Coast area. We wanted to try something a little different than a...

Great place with amazing atmosphere and delicious food. Incredible stuff, especially the GM, she was very friendly and kind. Checked out our table several times to make sure we had everything we needed! We were in the rush to make it to the play and GM made sure that our food and drinks came on time and tasted amazing! Can’t wait to go back!!!
