This gem caters to the elite; many Fig and Olive you will surely eat. Rich oils are slathered over your pot; but lacking in flavor the food is not. Dine with a date, a friend, a lover; go back for more, you'll soon discover...

One of the best tasting menus anywhere. Go expecting to try least ten dishes. Its not unlike a chinese fooding experience for Mediterranean cuisine.

Fig and Olive: Slip Sliding Away
By André Mika's Fork New York Sep 23, 2007
After a Decent Start, the Upper West locale falls into blah. Ever since I learned about the hip and trendy "Fig and Olive" on NY's Upper East Side (and now downtown as well) I wanted to check it out... I mean, I am all about the concept of this place. Small plates... olive oils... great wine... I get it. Well perhaps I waited too long, because my visit to Fig and Olive was a massive disappointment. After being greeted kindly at the door, we were shown to an awkward, cramped table for three... which resembled 2 cocktail tables pushed together. OK, well, if the food is happening I can deal with this. But, I do like being comfortable... FULL REVIEW

First Impressions: Fig & Olive (downtown)
By Diner's Journal Jan 15, 2007
There’s something a bit different going on here. The proprietors of this new, downtown branch of Fig & Olive, an Upper East Side café, have taken the kind of location, big-box format, hyper-segmented menu and booming lounge soundtrack usually associated with this city’s Asian mega-restaurants and wed it to Mediterranean cuisine.

Fig & Olive
By New York Journal Jan 06, 2006
Is there a sommelier in the house? An Olive Oil sommelier, that is? You’ll find one at Fig & Olive. On entering, you notice a striking back-lit wall at the far end of the restaurant, with what look like wine bottles on display. But those bottles contain olive oil. FULL REVIEW
Hot and Crosti on a cold, wet evening.
By Twenty Bucks A Day Oct 25, 2005
Most of the Village Voice 2005 list has been a budgetary and culinary pleasure to pursue completing. I wish I could say the same for the NY Metro list – they, apparently, have no idea that outer boroughs exist, save for the whiter, hipper enclaves of northwestern Queens and South Brooklyn. For every gem like the Blue Ribbon Market, they’ve offered something like Fig and Olive (located at 62nd and Lex) that might well be cheap for the neighborhood, but hardly scores on a global scale, and probably isn’t worth a special trip.

Fig & Olive
By Salli Vates Jul 03, 2005
Following in the footsteps of La Table O & Co., the new Fig & Olive opened its doors on the Upper East Side. The two-month old Mediterranean cafe sports an olive bar and a pantry full of extra-virgin olive oil from France, Italy and Spain. Complementary olive oil tastings are offered; yesterday, the tasting consisted of three oils described as "warm and buttery," "peppery" and "crisp." FULL REVIEW
