"A Charleston stalwart where Jason Stanhope previously worked, FIG is renowned for its focus on local ingredients and Southern cuisine, contributing significantly to Stanhope's reputation as a James Beard Award-winning chef." - Erin Perkins
"A popular Charleston restaurant known for its high-quality dishes and early access to soft shell crabs each season." - Erin Perkins
"If we go into the city, we love FIG — we go there as much as we can." - Erin Perkins
"Fig was one of the restaurants that made people take Charleston's food scene seriously over two decades ago. Like pretty much every classic place in town, this neighborhood bistro uses seasonal and local ingredients in a menu that always changes. You’ll eat things like a smooth chicken liver pate that could be mistaken for foie gras and a hearty plate of ricotta gnocchi alla bolognese. For your main course, make sure that at least one of the fish dishes is on your table—perhaps the steamed b-liner snapper—as Fig sources the best from local purveyors like Abundant Seafood." - jai jones, emily yates
"The chicken liver pate from FIG will ruin any meat lover from all other pates. This version is super smooth and usually served with a bit of mustard, buttery toast pieces, and an interesting, seasonal pickle." - Erin Perkins
