They are knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely care about your dining experience. I was particularly impressed with how they handled my food allergies—taking the time to thoroughly go over the menu and ensure everything was safe for me to enjoy.
We decided to share several small plates to fully experience the variety of flavors this restaurant offers. Our culinary journey began with roasted beets, onions, and garlic, lightly caramelized to perfection. The dish was paired with a cashew dipping sauce, which my dining companion enjoyed with pita bread, while I was offered sweet potato crackers as an alternative. Even without the dipping sauce, the dish was delightful—simple yet bursting with flavor.
Next, we savored toasted cauliflower and chickpeas in lemon tahini. The creamy tahini complemented the cooked cauliflower perfectly, creating a balance of textures and flavors that was both satisfying and memorable. This dish truly showcased the restaurant’s mastery in combining fresh ingredients with bold Mediterranean spices.
One of the highlights of the meal was the falafel. Our waitress informed us that it would take an additional 15 minutes to prepare because they wanted to use a separate fryer due to my allergies. This extra step showed the care and consideration the staff puts into each meal, ensuring that every guest has a safe and enjoyable dining experience. The falafel was well worth the wait—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor.
To finish off our meal, we indulged in a coconut milk rice pudding topped with cinnamon. This dessert was the perfect conclusion to a wonderful meal, offering a creamy and comforting sweetness that left us thoroughly satisfied.
Overall, Fig & Olive offers a five-star dining experience, not just for its delicious food but also for its outstanding service. The staff’s commitment to accommodating food allergies and ensuring every detail is taken care of puts this restaurant at the top of my list. If you’re ever in the area, don’t miss out on the chance to experience this Mediterranean treasure for yourself.
