"In episode 11, newest housewife Stacey Rusch joins Gizelle and Karen downtown in City Center for lunch at Fig & Olive. Stacey and Karen went with the burrata and riviera shrimp and salmon salad, with Sacey sipping on a German Riesling and Karen a glass of ginger ale. Gizelle also stayed in the green family and treated herself to the little gem salad." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb

"As an ode to the revolutionary year, a $17.89 deal at the CityCenterDC eatery includes a glass of Ricard (an anise and licorice-flavored aperitif) or a summer spritz, plus a selection of crostinis and olives. Fun fact: the U.S. chain’s culinary director Alain Allegretti was born and raised in the South of France." - Tierney Plumb

"Earlier this month, popular Mediterranean chain Fig & Olive made its Galleria debut, and crowds are already flocking to the upscale eatery. The offerings on Fig & Olive’s menu focus on Italian, Spanish, and French influences like mushroom croquette, octopus carpaccio, and truffle risotto to start, followed by dishes like short ribs, lamb chops, and paella for the main course. Crostini have their own section on the menu — topped with mushrooms, goat cheese, truffle, or Jamon Iberico — and can be mixed and matched in sets of 3 or 6. The restaurant already has outposts in New York, California, Washington, D.C., and Chicago, and its new Houston location is housed inside a massive 7,000-square-foot space across from the recently-revamped Saks Fifth Avenue building. Diners can look forward to eating al fresco on the terrace or grabbing a seat in the dining room or bar-lounge. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday until midnight, Saturday 10 a.m. to midnight, and Sunday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Check out the menus below before heading over." - Alaena Hostetter

Any excuse to go to Fig & Olive, I go! Birthday? Anniversary? Dinner with friends? Dinner with family? Fig & Olive. It’s my favorite restaurant in DC. Incredibly clean and sleek, quiet and mellow enough you can hear everyone at the table without shouting at the top of your lungs, yet hip and in a fun area of DC (right by Chinatown). It’s a huge restaurant with lots of seating (patio, upstairs, downstairs, and bar), but every seat feels very intimate and there isn’t a bad place to be seated. Everything on the menu is delicious food wise, and they’re not known for this, but they have THE BEST spicy margarita. I went last night and today for happy hour… got the spicy margarita both times and can officially attest it’s my favorite spicy marg in the city. Also very good wine list. Will never stop going here!

The food was fantastic and very affordable. They offered a special three-course menu for around $30, which was an incredible value considering the amazing atmosphere, ambiance, and delicious food. Their salads were particularly outstanding.

Enjoyed a business lunch meeting on a weekday here. Initially, our table was not ready despite having a reservation so we were seated at the bar. Not a big deal, we then were moved to our table for two which was very comfortable. Service was great, food was prepared fresh and fast. I enjoyed the salad with salmon while my colleague had a chicken sandwich and fries. Interior is well designed and chic, high ceilings, although we found we could hear conversations next to us. One of many dining options nearby and certainly worth at least one visit.

My family and I went today to fig&olive to celebrate my mother’s birthday! The service was really incredible; our server took time to explain the menu and to carefully take our order plus at the end of the meal she offered a dessert for my mother’s birthday which was very kind of her! The food on the other side is really mid nothing special and especially it’s very much overpriced. We order the entrees 17$ for 3 poor tiny bread with some un tasty burrata on top! We had a good time as a family but really we waited so long for each dish to come! I cannot say I recommend this place because really other than the service the rest is completely disappointing!

Great experience all around. The drinks were fabulous. THe smoked salmon flatbread was delicious and just the right amount 2 people to share. The Au Povire Burger was cooked perfectly with an adequate amount of toppings that did not overpower the flavor from the burger but complented it nicely. The salad with chicken was a great portion size and the lettuce was crisp, which in my opinion, is key to a good salad. We will certainly return.

Park at the ninth Street garage for DC city center. The Bronzino was delicious from start to finish. At night, they dim the lights a little so it could be harder to see. The ambience was nice and creative. The only negative thing I would say is they did not allow me to take home my leftover s’mores. I don’t understand if I paid for it, why not give me a container to put it in.

I came here with a family member. The Staff are extremely attentive and helpful. I rated the atmosphere a 4 star since I had to get used to the lounge seating and felt like my cousin was a taller than me sitting down. Other than that the restaurant atmosphere is pretty cool and new. The Service was great! I rate the meal I had a 3 1/2 stars only because I’ve had better Salmon, how ever the drink and the bread was really good!! It’s family friendly and a cool place to chill. Would go back and order something else :)

My friend and I had a delightful dinner at this fine Mediterranean restaurant in City Center a while ago. The dining experience was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We loved the place's ambiance, and it had a relaxing decor that was tastefully done and made us feel as if we were in a fine resort. The service was attentive, which made our experience even better. The food was simply the best, cooked with fresh ingredients, and the chef masterfully brought out the authentic flavors of each dish. We completed our dinner with mouthwatering desserts that were simply amazing.
