Fig Italian Kitchen & Bar - Review - South Lamar - Austin - The Infatuation

"Fig is a fancy Italian restaurant at the base of an apartment complex on South Lamar Boulevard. It’s sleek in a Restoration Hardware kind of way, with black walls, dark leather chairs, and overhead lights that look like illuminated wavy potato chips. This is a cute spot for a more-than-casual date night, and an even better one for Happy Hour, when you can get a handful of cocktails, small plates, and pastas for around $10. The food is hit-or-miss, though, pitting some of the best crispy potatoes you’ll try in Austin against one of the most vinegary crudos known to man. Stop by for discounted drinks and light bites, or come for dinner and stick to the dependable pastas and salads. photo credit: Richard Casteel" - Nicolai McCrary
