FIG & OLIVE Tasting Kitchen & Bar

Our dinner at Fig and Olive tallied up to $173 before tips for just four small plates, two kids’ pasta, and two alcoholic drinks. Thinking back, I can’t understand how it could be this hefty. Despite the sticker shock, the culinary highlights like the savory octopus and creamy fried mushrooms, alongside their visually appealing presentation, did soften the blow. The service was commendable too, with attentive and friendly staff making our dining experience smoother. While the prices at are on the higher side, the quality of the food and the level of service provided may make it a worthwhile visit for those willing to indulge in a pricier meal.

Talk about an amazing experience! Late night reservation for two. Such great service from hostess to a very clean bathroom . Food was delicious , hot and presentable. I wasn’t expecting this level of elegance connected to the Galleria Mall. .

The perfect place for a weekend brunch or romantic dinner. The ambience and service were excellent. It's connected to the Galleria mall. There's parking in the garage or valet in front of the restaurant. The French food was delish. We had a great time throughout the night. They also have outdoor seats which would be perfect with good weather. I love the vibes here. It's very mellow but also very romantic. Would highly recommend if you're in the area.

Great place to have Mediterranean style food. The drinks are really good and the atmosphere is superb. A must dish to order is The mushroom croquettes! I will definitely go back just to order that and some drinks. 🍹 and definitely ask for Luis great server very accommodating.

Best experience in the galleria area in Houston! It’s a French style cuisine with an amazing bar where you can enjoy a signature cocktail, my favorite entry is a truffle croquettes it’s an explosion of flavors that you never forget, the staff is amazing, terrace wonderful, definitely it’s a great option.

I have visited Fig & Olive a few times (Brunch and Lunch) and this is the most recent review. The place is beautiful, good location and a good atmosphere. The service could be better, the host is okay but sometimes she can be a little rude in the way she speaks. Server was nice. There was a girl who in my opinion was the best, always keeping your glass of water or tea (in my case) always full. The order was Salmon Burger with potatoes (delicious), Salmon with vegetables (very good presentation and a salad with avocado and salmon. The food was very good. I had previously gone and tried their drinks and they are good.

Was a very surprising delight for dinner. Place had a beautiful ambiance with a bunch of candles and soft lighting. Food is pricer than average but the portions and taste were great. Appetizer: Did the Crostini sampler, they had three different options and can do an order of three or six. Was a great portion that didn’t fill you up & the order of six is perfect to try for two. Dinner: The “Chef Favorite” seafood risotto. Was very flavorful and had a good portion of seafood throughout. My husband had the steak frites which came with a salad & fries. The fries were dusted with Parmesan which isn’t my thing but could be someone else’s. Dessert: Lemon Pound Cake was smaller - could be hard to share if two people are hungry for dessert. Great presentation and above average flavor. Would probably try the Pumpkin Bread Pudding or something else instead for next time. Drinks: The “Fig & Olive” signature cocktail was delicious and had a strong port flavor which I was pleased about. “Lavender Fields” was a smooth and easy take on a lavender based drink. Wasn’t to gin / vodka forward. “Crema Catalana Flip” was an amazing dessert cocktail. Similar flavors to a crème brûlée. The flavor was very balanced for all the ingredients involved.

Ambiance is great, however the food and service is average. In fact, the server broke a champagne glass right beside my head from her tray that grazed my head. I was quite shook to say the least as it could’ve broke into a million pieces (which it did) on my body instead of the floor. Despite the incident, the manager did not come to apologize or even address the issue. Mocktails were flat despite asking for a lot of bubbles, and food was nothing special for the price. It’s just a cute space.

Great place to go out with family and friends. The service was top notch. The restaurants ambience was amazing! Can't wait to visit Again.

Our waitress was super sweet and very accommodating. She recommended a spritz to my sister that she absolutely loved. I have been wanting to try Fig & Olive for a while now and let me tell you it did not disappoint. The ambiance was giving, love the modern, simple esthetic. The crostini, choose 3, was delish! My sister and I both ordered the steak and eggs, I got my eggs over easy and she scrambled. The chimichurri sauce was so good. The plate was well balanced with the salad. It didn't leave you feeling stuffed but satisfied. I needed my meal with an espresso martini. I will definitely be back! Perfect for a brunch, GNO, or date night.

We had a girls day at the mall and wanted to stop for a nice brunch. I've gone to the Fig and Olive in D.C. so decided this would be a good option for us especially since I've never had their brunch menu. This place is very clean, cute and the ambiance gave us the vibe we wanted. Our waitress was very nice and gave us some great recs. We started with the crostinis which were really good. We did two of the manchego ones and one with the burrata. I chose the steak and eggs for my meal which was cooked well and very flavorful. Overall, Fig & Olive just doesn't miss. This is a great option for a girls day out at the mall!

So refreshing to go to a restaurant with absolute stellar service and food in Houston. Ordered Branzino, perfectly cooked. All the tapas we ordered were fresh and delicious. Ordered octopus, Labneh, beets and burrata, mushroom croquettes... all were spot on. Restaurant was not overly crowded and just the perfect ambiance. We had 3 little kids ... and surprisingly for a fancy restaurant, it was accommodating for young children. Don't forget to order the dessert ... lemon and olive oil cake !!

HOUSTON, TX 77056 / CONTEMPORARY/ 05-27-24 / LUNCH +The Mediterranean tacos were delicious. Happy Hour is $9 for three. +The Fig & Olive Salad was alright. +David, our server, was excellent.

I was taken aback by the cold caramelized onions on the Crostini...and not in a pleasant way. The flavor profile just didn't do it for me. There was a bitterness that I couldn't quite put my finger on. Likewise, the prosciutto option left something to be desired. The Burrata, however, was quite nice. I would love to report that our experience improved as the brunch wore on, but alas... The prefixed Mother's Day menu stipulated that everyone at the table had to order from the menu, and even though several of the items are regularly served, they were off limits even to mothers who didn't wish to order a copious amount of food. I guess the idea of making sure your guests are happy no longer really plays a part in "service". Since we couldn't order what we wanted, we opted for the Benedict and the F&M burger. My mom felt the spinach interfered with her perfectly poached egg and crabcake. She longing stared off into the distance thinking about the far superior crabcake out at Brookwood. The burger looks amazing but just couldn't compete with other burgers around town. I can't say that the food would entice us to return. Nor would the incessant blinking light above our table. The ambiance would have otherwise been enjoyable had it not been for the light.

Went to Fig & Olive for dinner, and overall my impression was good. I think my four star-rating comes down to the price and the fact that the atmosphere is just fine. Food: I actually really appreciated and liked the dishes we ordered, many of which had some 'twist' incorporated in the dish, which impressed me. The cocktails (the Lavendar Fields was better than the Sirocco), however, were just fine. And ultimately, the price point is just too high to justify coming back. We ordered: - 3 Crostinis (Burrata, Onion Confit, Prosciutto), I personally liked the Confit the best - Tuna Meatballs (which were very good) - Roasted Broccoli (with Bagna Cauda, Breadcrumbs) (which I also enjoyed) - Amalfi Seafood Rissotto (entree, and while it was fine, I did not love the seafood quality, it was a bit tough... I think the appetizers were better) Service & Ambiance: The service was a bit weird since we were delivered the wrong order twice. Overall, the location decor is nice, but the space was way too large for the number of people who were there on a Friday evening.

Since I was staying in the Houston Galleria area, we decided to look for a place that was walking distance from the hotel. A little searching brought us to Fig and Olive Tasting Kitchen and Bar. The restaurant has a pleasant ambiance, perfect lighting and well appointed decor. We had arrived without a reservation, but still were able to get a nice table outside. All the food choices were enticing. The best bet was the Dinner Prix Fixe Menu, which was reasonably priced at $48 per person for a 3-course meal. Since our party was comprised of seven people, we were able to taste all the selections on the menu. Appetizers were: Baby Arugula Salad, Tuna Meatballs and Wild Mushroom Croquettes. Entrees were: Moroccan-Spiced Salmon, Paccheri, Roasted Brick Chicken and Peppercorn-Crusted Strip Steak. Dessert choices were: Flourless Chocolate Espelette Cake and Lemon and Olive Oil Cake. All the dishes were superbly prepared and exuded with texture, flavor and taste, Service was exceptional.

I was hesitant to try this place because I am normally not a fan of Mediterranean cuisine, but I was very impressed today. Our server (I believe her name was Cynthia) was really kind, helpful and attentive. I enjoyed the riviera shrimp and salmon salad. It was flavorful and the portion size was perfect. The mushroom croquettes were not my taste, but the black truffle sauce that comes with it was very flavorful. Overall, my friend and I had a great lunch and I will be returning for brunch or dinner soon.

Fig & Olive is an upscale restaurant & bar in the Galleria Mall serving seasonal Mediterranean meals prepared with flavored olive oils. We have gone a few times to grab a quick bite when shopping at the mall. It's usually not busy, and we're able to grab a table right away. [COCKTAILS] +Riviera Old Fashioned (Sagamore Rye, Lost Irish Whiskey, Chai, and Pomegranate) for $22 - Although this had "chai" in it, the waitress told me this was an error. Not worth the $22 for this drink though. I didn't taste any pomegranate either. - 3/5 [SMALL PLATES] +Panko-Crusted Spanish Octopus ('nduja, fingerling potatoes, celery, red onions, green olives, and Mojo Picón sauce) for $27 - I would avoid ordering this. It's like octopus "nuggets," and the potatoes served with it tasted off. - 3/5 +Burrata di Bufala (roasted squash, pine nuts, and gremolata sauce) for $19 - The burrata paired with the roasted squash was okay. I would order something else next time. - 3.5/5 [SIDES] +Rosemary, Parmesan, and Truffle for $14 - This was the best item from brunch. - 4.5/5 Overall, the restaurant is nice and they change their menu seasonally. Some items are a miss seasonally, but we come back here and there to try out the new dishes. If you're in the Galleria shopping, Fig & Olive is a nice place to take a little food break if trying to avoid the food court.

I hesitate to give 5 stars for anyone, because nobody is perfect. However this was a solid 4.8 experience. The ambiance is modern classy upscale. The staff was friendly, informative, and so attentive, my glass was always full, food was hot and quickly served, and used plates were whisked away immediately. We did the brunch menu. Steak and eggs were fantastic, with gorgeous presentation, and the Chimichurri sauce was maybe the best I have had. My drink was their version of an old fashioned, with fresh rosemary as an unexpected twist. We finished up with lemon pound cake and cappuccino. Overall a great experience, and I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Fig & Olive was an incredible dining experience that I was not expecting to find inside the Galleria mall. The service is top-notch; the team that took care of us were always present refilling water glasses, clearing plates, and getting additional cocktails. The menu is also stellar with great items made in special ways. For their autumn menu, I had the Smoke & Spice cocktail and could have that for the rest of my life. The combination of smoke and spice was perfection and was easily a standout of the day. However, the burrata appetizer with apples and beets was also stunning. You can tell the team takes pride in their preparation and ensuring quality ingredients. Lastly, my salmon main course was also lovely. The huge piece of fish was cooked very well, had tons of flavor and made me excited for the overall meal. Sadly, we were too full to try dessert, but next time I will make that happen.

The perfect place for a weekend brunch or romantic dinner. The ambience and service were excellent. It's connected to the Galleria mall. There's parking in the garage or valet in front of the restaurant. The French food was delish. We had a great time throughout the night. They also have outdoor seats which would be perfect with good weather. I love the vibes here. It's very mellow but also very romantic. Would highly recommend if you're in the area.

Gorgeous space! High ceilings, airy and stylish, boasting a wall of windows. Aesthetically, you can't go wrong with this Fig & Olive. Our group of 10 enjoyed a casual business dinner which started with wine and cocktails plus several appetizers. Standouts for me: Mushroom Croquettes and the Tuna Meatballs. Several at the table had the filet, and some had the salmon. I had the mushroom pasta, which was rich and filling. The table shared all of the desserts. I tried the Bosque Cheesecake, which was not bad but not memorable. While the servers were sweet and gracious, it took a while to get out the dishes, which was surprising, considering the dining room was near empty when we arrived. This pushed our meal way into the evening, and, given our before sunrise start the next morning, that was a little annoying. Also, I had asked to take my remaining pasta (I ate less than half of it, and although the server said, "of course!" I never got it back. Hoping this was just an off night, because I'd certainly like to return, due to its proximity to our office in Williams Tower and the pleasant aesthetic.

I recently went to a business dinner at the Fig and Olive in the heart of the Galleria Mall and wanted to first address the parking. First things first, don't sweat the parking. They've got valet options if you want to roll up in style, or you can park in the purple garage. Easy peasy. From the moment I walked in, the staff was on point. Friendly, attentive, and super knowledgeable about the menu. And made us ladies feel like VIPs when they brought the purse tree to help position our handbags on the tree versus on our laps or on the floor. This was a 8 PM dinner on a beautiful summer night so all I was in the mod for was something light like the Seafood Risotto. The melody of seafood was packed with flavor, and cooked just right. But be warned, mine was on the salty side. Still tasty, but if you're not into a lot of salt, maybe ask them to go easy on it. The place itself is super chic, with a cozy vibe that's perfect for date night or catching up with girl friends. Being in the Galleria, it's right in the middle of the action, but once you're inside, it's like an escape to a fine dining oasis. Overall, Fig and Olive has a nice summer menu, with everything from salmon to burgers and def a place to come back again. The service alone would have me coming back and the beautiful atmosphere where you can enjoy a light summer meal.

I dined in during the holidays with family and the service is what I expected it to be. Service, wait and bartending staff went ABOVE and beyond. I recommend everything on the menu. You could taste the fresh ingredients used in each drink, appetizer and curated food item. My father and I ordered the appetizer trio (Tasting Mezze) and they were served with flatbread. The flatbread was a bit on the dry side but it was paired perfectly with the baba ghanoush, which I say is hard to find authentic flavors not made at home. I ordered the wild mushroom croquettes and it left me wanting more. My father ordered a meat platter (I am plant based), but he said it was delectable. Our food was paired with a nice espresso (it is not that strong so I had to order three of them), and my father went with the house water Acqua Panna, their selection of sparkling water was disappointing. I was beyond surprised how delicious and delightful it all was.

I recently dined at Fig & Olive in Houston, and it was a culinary delight! The menu featured a tantalizing array of dishes, each a symphony of flavors. From the mouthwatering appetizers to the exquisite mains, every bite was a culinary masterpiece. The service was impeccable, with a staff that exuded warmth and attentiveness. The ambiance was equally inviting, creating a perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. Fig & Olive has truly set a high standard for gastronomic excellence in Houston.

This is a very cute establishment! I highly recommend for a cute date night. The vibes were relaxing but provided that upscale vibe. My bartender Jordan was extremely and attentive. I ordered the Panko- Crusted Spanish Octopus. the octupus was so good and tender. I also enjoyed a glass of French 75.

This is a very nice, trendy spot located in the Galleria (along outer edge, can enter from parking lot directly or mall itself) near Saks. Great option for happy hour, light bites, or a nice meal out. Friendly and attentive staff so the whole experience will be pleasant. We were here for a large group event in one of their private rooms. Everything was handled quite nicely. One of my favorite bites of the night was the croquette appetizer; it was a fried mushroom puree and it was so rich and delicious! Highly recommend. parking: valet ($15) or normal mall parking garage options.

Fig and Olive was our first restaurant choice to visit upon recently moving to the area. The menu options were the influencing factor. Upon arriving we were very impressed with the elegance and interior design. The background music was delightful & welcoming for the holidays, Service was impeccable and so was the staff. After a very nice glass of Champagne, Cab Sauvignon & Bordeaux, we began with the Wild Mushrooms Croquettes; and by far didn't disappoint. They were my favorite. The flavor was divine with just a slight crisp as they melted in your mouth. We also had the Burrata de Bafala as an appetizer but after having the croquettes it felt as though it lacked flavor. As for our main dishes, we had the Quinoa, Lentil & Kale Salad, Chicken Caesar Sandwich & Crepes Madam. For Dessert we ordered the Apple and Pear Crostata. All entrees were aamazing. We look forward to returning.

Very cute place with indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. They have a happy hour menu which is nice for road style dining and some discount on drinks. The website says HH is available on patio or bar but they only honored at the bar. The bartender was super nice and knowledgeable. We started with 1/2 dozen oysters for $16 very good. Also got the fem lettuce cups. Neither of us liked these. And the wild mushroom croquettes which were very good with a truffle aioli that wasn't too strong. We shared the burger which was also very good. I got the gig and olive cocktail which from Yelp reviews over the years it seems like they tend to change up what goes in it but it was very good. Parking right out front for self park or valet or can use general mall parking deck. Give it a go!

Fantastic plAce for brunch. I only wish they have more options. The lunch menu is very regular; but the SALMON was EPIC. Probably one of the best grilled salmon I've had. I was going to order another one, but did not feel like carrying anything whilst walking around the mall. Service was fantastic!

Oh I love a good first impression and Fig & Olive did not disappoint. Following the surprise that the restaurant is attached to the Galleria, we were offered complimentary champagne, and amazing service upon entry while waiting for our table. As a party of 8, we were seated in semiprivate room facing the Galleria (not ideal but you can tell they're making an effort to conceal this) with a virtual fireplace gyrating on the television. Our waitress was attentive and kind. The bathrooms were clean, and luxurious. But as we waited for the remainder of our party, the illusion began to fade. First, somehow, somewhere in the restaurant was a constant beeping. This was not a "I didn't change the smoke alarm" beeping, or "food is ready in the kitchen" beeping but some unidentified, every 10 minutes or so , immediately takes you out of the fantasy of a luxury dining experience beeping. Secondly, the restaurant was near empty during brunch hours...odd for sure, but no sweat, maybe it's a hidden gem. Third, the offerings. We ordered the mimosa carafe with pomegranate, orange pineapple juice and apple cider. The idea is fantastic. We were not recommended two orders. For eight folks it included one very VERY "affordable" bottle of champagne. My cucumber cocktail was premixed (not ideal), but strong (ideal). Although it's understandable that the brunch menu is designed to honor the South of France, the portions per the price were surprising, in the worst way, even for the gaunt eaters of the group. *the Mediterranean dips sharing appetizer (on the for the table menu) is likely designed to be shared between 2. No more than 3. It would be appreciated if this could be communicated to parties when they inquire about shareable appetizers. My assumption that a menu titled "For the table" would comfortable feed more than two, but I suppose I should have asked. *the Yellow fish Tuna Carpaccio ($24)- whoop whoop, an appetizer that can be shared between more than 2 folks. Under salted, but otherwise delicious, flavorful, and texturally. *Lemon ricotta pancakes- arrived too thick and overworked. 4 members of the party ordered the dish. 2/4 thought their entree was undercooked, turns out they were stuffed with lemon ricotta. Additionally, if you plan to order, know that this is not a sweet entree, and likely not designed to fill. We did not find out until our dishes arrived, and we inquired about the size and seemingly raw center. While I love the tapaesque concept, we just wish the portion sizes and important notes of each dish ("would you like to order another, you mentioned this us for sharing, it's designed to feed x people" or "that dish is popular, it's a small portion, most people order it with or "just so you know this pancake is filled, it may look raw in the center, but I'm actually it's cooked to temp and what you see is the filling", we're communicated as it's not evident from the menu or the pricing. As a cherry on top, two waiters who were not assigned to our section used our section as an escape room to text while avoiding the eyes of management...they literally behaved as if we were not sitting there dining. This is the first time in a long time, I've felt in more ways than one like an invisible diner. Unfortunately at this pricepoint, the bulk of our experience was underwhelming, but I wish them the best, and hope this was a one off. Everyone is entitled to an off day now and again.

What a place. The dining room is gorgeous and the service is impeccable. I only had drinks (which were all amazing) but I saw several plates leaving the kitchen and they looked great! I can't wait to try the food at Fig & Olive. I very much look forward to another visit and highly recommend the cocktails.

Quality. Taste. Service. Atmosphere. All a 10 out of 10, to say the least. I travel often and try new restaurants often. This one is easily one of the best I have ever been to. Our table tried multiple plates (see images), and each one of us was amazed by the taste and quality. It was also very obvious that they use healthy ingredients. I strongly recommend this place for a date, with friends, work outing, even with family. The service was also excellent.

Great vibe, great sandwich for a Tuesday lunch. Sat on the patio by myself since it's the summer and a million degrees. Perfect.

I visited Fig & Olive today with some colleagues for lunch, the restaurant is in Galleria area and they have valet parking if you don't want to park in in the mall , it's well decorated and they have also outdoor sitting which is nice . We all order lunch prices fix menu ( 30$ for appetizer and enteree) and ordered some crostini for the table where really good . My appetizer was Baby Arugula Salad and I liked it , my colleagues ordered Mushroom Croquettes and Tuna meatballs and they were really good too. My main was salmon burger and I didn't really like it . The food potions are big so it will be lots of food when ordering both appetizers and entree.

I went to Fig & Olive on Christmas Eve and was pleasantly surprised. I have had this place in my list to try for a while, and I'm glad I finally checked it out. Ambiance: Warm, Cozy, Clean. There was plenty of seating. I was just about the only patron dining that evening aside from another family. Service: Attentive, Patient I was very well taken care of by my waiter. He didn't have much else to do, but he was very kind. Always had a smile. He knew the menu very well and was able to make suggestions based on my preferences. I wish I remembered his name... he was funny. He made the experience pleasurable especially since I was dining alone. He gave me enough space to enjoy my meal, but was always attentive to my needs and quickly appear if he noticed I was done with a course, or needed a water refill. The food: Tuna Meatballs 5/5: never had tuna meatballs before, they were pretty good. The white sauce they were served with in addition to the onions gave a very tart balance. Salmon: 5/5: Very well cooked. I like my salmon medium well and the chef did a delightful job of delivering my fish at perfect temperature. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Again this eggplant, pepper accompaniment sent me to the moon. It paired really well with my fish. The wine list was decent. I had a Sancerre. Any restaurant you can enjoy a glass of Sancerre is serious about wine. Overall I had a great meal here and I will be back!

This place is so delightful and beautiful! What really made me want to try this restaurant was the website. Their attention to accessibility is wonderful to see. There are many disabled parking spots near the entrance, and the layout of the space is wheelchair friendly. The staff is also kind and accommodating. It seems like the menu changes seasonally, so I am excited to try out different menus. The only thing that needed fixing was whatever the bread was being cooked on, as it tasted burnt every time. The dessert, however, was absolutely spectacular! I also really appreciated that the wine was created in their own vinyard.

Hip and trendy restaurants. Drinks were wonderful. Dinner was delightful. Service was very kind and accommodating with recommendations. DJ nearby for trendy music. Meals were kind of expensive but worth it. Great flavors.

I was in Houston for work and this was one of the first places that I was recommended to try. There are a lot of healthy food options and everything that I ordered tasted so fresh. It is located in the Galleria Mall near saks, very easy to locate and it is so aesthetically pleasing. The restaurant is open and very airy, and I believe I saw a room that is reserved for special occasions. The staff is super polished and attentive, I felt very taken care of. I ordered the little gem salad and salmon and it was amazing, it came out super fast. I, also, ordered the truffle fries as a treat, they were soo good! It is a fancier restaurant and a little bit of a higher price point for your average mall restaurant but I would def go back.

This restaurant is located in the Galleria area, Valet parking is available! This restaurant is very well decorated, elegant and would be a cute lunch or date night with friends or a significant other any time of the year but definitely for spring with its cute outdoor seating! Came here with one of my friends for brunch on a Sunday and the items that we had were super yummy !!! A lot of the food off the menu can be eaten individually or shared with others! We started off sharing the Riviera Crostini and my favorites out of the 3 were the Burrata and the Confit Caramelized Onions! We then moved on to the Yellowfin Tuna Carpaccio which was definitely interesting but still good! We then tried the Wild mushroom croquettes which was a 15/10 and I will definitely be coming back for these it was AMAZING!!!! My favorite dish out of all the food we tried! Lastly, we had the Spanish octopus which wasn't my favorite dish but it was still good, it's just really my preference on how octopus is cooked. Another bonus is that happy hour is every day! I tried the Cucumber cosmo and it was honestly the only drink I wanted for the whole afternoon! Definitely will be coming back to this place!

Fig & Olive is a upcale chain that focuses on Mediterranean flavors. With several locations in Houston, New York and Chicago every location excels at providing excellent food and ambiance. I've been to several of the locations in New York City for Jazz Brunch or a Client Dinner, and was excited when I saw that there is a Houston location. Went in for a casual brunch on a rainy afternoon and it was warm and bright inside the restaurant. For an entree I went with the egg white omlet with spring vegetables which came served with Roasted Potatoes and a small salad. Fig &Olive's house rose is excellent; it is not too sweet and has subtle peach and berry flavors. I don't remember my servers name but he was great! Very personable and fun to talk with!

This was one of the first upscale restaurants that I visited when I first moved to Houston. Fig and Olive is a very upscale Mediterranean restaurant in the Galleria. The decor was beautiful, but overall I wasn't too impressed with the food. The only dish I truly enjoyed were the croquettes or crostinis that we ordered as an appetizer. Everything else and the entree I ordered was average. Overall, I felt like the ambiance and service was good, but I honestly wasn't blown away by the food.

Came here for a Texas Young Professionals Houston chapter event tonight. As we were networking, we were able to sample one of the appetizers and it was quite delicious. And beautiful as well! I don't know the name but I hope the picture helps. Definitely whet my appetite and I will be coming here for the full dining experience. Sidenote: My sister said that the virgin cocktail they made her was super refreshing.

Expensive but tasty food. Nice ambience. Beautiful calm restaurant. The valentines menu was a little lackluster but regular menu is good.

Wow! My review is for a dinner in a private room. We stuffed too many people in the room but the staff handled it beautifully. We had a prix fixe menu with choices for apps, entrée and dessert. Everyone started with a trio of vegetarian bruschetta which were delicious. Then I had an amazing green salad, a vegetarian pasta (but I tasted their salmon which even the steak eater to my right said was the best choice). And then I attempted death by chocolate with their delicious mousse. The staff was excellent. The food was amazing and then we walked a smidge of it off by strolling through (the now closed) mall back to our hotel.

Fig and olive has been on my list forever! I tried going once before but had to cancel my reservation. This time I made a reservation for 4 people on a Sunday dinner time 6:30pm and was surprised it was pretty empty. When all of us got in we got an vegetarian appetizer to share which was the hummus platter- included different carrots and vegetables with hummus. It was really unique but also pretty good- better than I expected. For the meal I ordered the only vegetarian thing on the menu which was the pasta. The pasta def was different/ the sauce was creamy and had topping of vegetables and nuts. It was good for sure but for the price I didn't think it was amazing. Parking is probably easiest at the galleria parking garage right underneath saks fifth store. The we took the elevator to the ground floor and walked to the right side. Def have to come a bit earlier for the parking and walking to make it on time for the reservation. As a vegetarian I wish fig and olive had more options and I would probably go there more often. But for now I was glad I was able to go there and cross it off my list. The ambience is super cute! Very brunch like!

As I was approaching the restaurant, I was immediately greeted with kind service. The employee opened the door for me and immediately sat my party down. The restaurant was very clean and luxurious. I was really satisfied with the taste of my dish but the only con is that I wish the portion was bigger as it did not fill me up at all. My party was still hungry but this is fine dining after all. I highly recommend the Tuna Paccheri as the noodles were so thick and flavorful. The dish had the taste of crab even though it was "tuna." The chocolate dessert was also delicious! It was practically chocolate pudding. Highly recommend as we were provided with excellent service during our stay!

Ambiance, food, service. I had a great experience at this restaurant. I would really recommend it.

Gorgeous restaurant, inside and out. Interior design is relaxing, I came during lunch right at 12p on Friday. I was first to arrive, sat at the bar. (The best place for in & out service) I had only one hour to spare for lunch) I ordered octopus over chickpeas, gem salad, carrots & brussel sprouts no bacon. (Due to lent Friday) The carrots & brussel sprouts were good, small portion for the price. The octopus over chickpea. Was not great, the chickpeas were soggy like but the octopus was soft. I was thinking it would have a slight crisp from being grilled........ Drinks were decent! Thanks Jordan! Overall I would come back for the Instagram photos & vibe. But expect to be paying high dollar. So I won't come back just yet until I get a raise. Lol The menu is seasonal. So check the menu online for more!

Best service we've ever had by waiter Samuel. He was attentive, kind, and went out of his way to make our dining experience amazing. If the managers of Fig & Olive see this review- please give this man a raise! We went on Sunday at 2pm and they were still serving brunch. But the kitchen was able to make some items on the lunch menu per request. Food favorites- the lamb had an amazing crust and was served on top of a complementary yogurt sauce. If you like goat cheese, their cheese cake is an original take on the dessert using goat cheese.

It is a place with a great ambiance in the comfort of the Houston mall. Very accessible and inviting after a day of shopping. Foods are good but seem not filling to justify the price you pay. Overall, the establishment is presentable and well decor highlighted by a wonderful service in spite of what I feel insufficient taste on the meal we got.

Stopped in for a drink and food with non-vegan friends and was delightfully surprised by several options for me. We sat at the bar and had great service. The Quinoa, Lentil, Kale bowl was absolutely delicious and nicely filling. The flavors popped with the addition of pomegranate seeds and I was thrilled! Also enjoyed a delicious Lavender Fields and walked away super happy!

Love this place!! Drinks, food, and service are all great. Great outdoor seating when weather allows. The Mgr, Max, is always very friendly and truly wants everything to be perfect. 5 star hands down!

Loved this place, dined in the location @ the galleria. Been wanting to try this place since the summer, since it's cooler now I sat outside. Ordered the Salmon burger from the lunch menu and was impressed. Different taste than what I'm used to be I enjoyed it. Such a beautiful place inside and out. Will definitely be back to dine again and will dine inside.

Beautiful atmosphere. Service was good. Chicken. Dish was very good, I'd order it again. The yellow tail carpaccio was ok. I wouldn't order it again. It would be great to to see nutrition content on the menu or at least on their website. Nice place overall.

Sunday Afternoon @ 2:15 Fantastic, Superb, Dynamic, and any other words but thesaurus may have to describe excellent. Parking- Garage/Valet Atmosphere- Inviting, fun, and relaxing Staff- Superb My experience: My presence was well received here. From the time we walked in and were greeted by the host, to the time we made it to our table and was met by our server, it was phenomenal. I personally love impressionable staff members and that's what the host and all the people we encountered that work here were. Anna, our server was very knowledgeable, engaged, and energetic about what the menu had to offer. I'm not sure how the protocol works for this restaurant but all staff members do a great job of welcoming you even if they're just bringing you another cup of water, they're very happy to be serving you. Mediterranean dishes never tend to disappoint me, I can't speak for everyone but for me in general they're always flavorful always delicious always rich and this time didn't disappoint either. I could honestly rave for another few paragraphs but I feel like my point has gotten across if not let me summarize. Great staff great food great atmosphere.

My Mother's Day Brunch Surprise from my youngest daughter was quite Amazing! The food, no words to describe other than exquisite. The ambiance was perfect, especially the floral arch.

I took my mother to Fig & Olive for the first time today for their Mother's Day Brunch. First off, the lady that was hostess today was on the phone right up until we walked up and then asked what kind of table we wanted because supposedly the regular ones were taken even though there was one a few tables down with nobody sitting there. Next, when we placed our order for main dishes our waiter said he would bring my mom a new regular sized fork because hers was dirty. The food came and still no fork; had to ask for a new one ourselves and he acted as if he did not even recall saying he would grab one himself. Lastly, I asked for scrambled eggs in my "steak and eggs" dish, but I received sunny side up. I was too hungry to ask for a new plate and did not want to waste food either so I did not say anything. Overall the food was delicious, but the service was not on the same level. Lastly, every single mother that was there received a rose as a way of celebrating Mother's Day , typically when they got their bill. When we received the check, we did not get offered anything which was rude since we were the only people who were excluded. As a first time dine, I am quite disappointed.
