    I don't have a single complaint about this place. It is absolutely stellar. The steak tartare was our favorite and the martinis are delicious too. Will definitely be coming back here!

    The food was heavenly. From starters to entree and the wrap up with desert trio. Great service, beautiful interior. Neighborhood smells like nearby chocolate factory. Love this area.

    The burger with truffle fries is a basic but delicious option. Start with some of the mushroom croquettes and an assortment of crostinis if you really feel like going for it.

    Here, it’s an Italian-style aperitivo hour. What could be happier than a less-than-$20 meal of Cava and dainty toasts topped with salmon and figs? Read more

    The cocktails were delicious. The cheese plate a perfect accompaniment. Main dishes were delicious and dessert a dream. However it was all just too expensive!

    Absolutely spectacular. Full of beautiful people and has stellar ambiance. Cocktails are great, as are crostini, risotto, cheese plate and mushroom truffle bites. Can't go wrong with anything here.

    Patio seating a must. The Prix fixe menu is an outstanding value on Sun to Thursday. This bottle was amazing. Food superb. Sexy restaurant.

    Try this restaurant's namesake ingredients in the fig and olive salad, made with manchego, parmesan and gorgonzola cheese with a house-made dressing of dried fig, Spanish olive oil and balsamic. Read more

    Truffle mushroom croquets, octopus, hamachi crudo, shrimp and prosciutto crostinis - all appetizers were great. Seafood paella was disappointing. Truffle risotto and sea bass were great.

    Beautiful interior with light colors and comfy seating. There is a big bar area that's really pretty as well. Food is good.

    The branzino is just amazing. You can't go wrong with that. Their signature cocktails are good too

    The crostini were all delicious - highly recommend. Pretty space. Interesting crowd - kind of sceny kind of old money. Might be a better lunch and drink spot if you don't for into either of those.

    Crostini are very good except for the crab which is a low grade crabmeat. Same goes for the crabcake at brunch which is basically held together by a very thick, crispy layer of breading.

    The dirty martinis are delicious with authentic Mediterranean olives. Don't pass up the truffle risotto or the chocolate soufflé - both are to die for!

    Go during lunch for a leisurely meal. Crudo tasting, cheese plate, Summer in Provence (gin cocktail) and chocolate soufflé were all wonderful!

    Out of all the fig & olives I've been to so far, this is the nicest one. Great part of town. Great lounge seating.

    The cucumber Cosmo is really good. You can go wrong with the truffle mushroom croquette for an appetizer.

    Great atmosphere. California vibe in the heart of Chicago. Try the crudos or the crostinis to start.

    Fig and Olive was very cool! I loved the cozy chairs and bar. I wish there were more vegan options but the red quinoa salad was alright. The AC was way too cold though!

    Been here 2x. Once service was shockingly bad. Once our res wasn't honored for almost an hour. Then valet took almost 40 mins to bring the car & it was the wrong car. Many better spots in town, avoid.

    The crostinis are amazing. The carrot soup was decent but the paella was undercooked sadly. I wouldn't recommend it.

    I'd stick to the crostini and maybe have a drink or two. Great atmosphere, but the overpriced entrees leave something to be desired.

    Food was good. Service was slow and poor. Waiter forgot our appetizer. Also it was a 8 dollar up charge to add prosciutto to an already 17 dollar salad.
