"Fig on South Lamar opened in July and just added Sunday brunch to its lineup in October. On deck are crostinis topped with soft-scramble eggs; eggs Benedicts; and brioche French toast; along with a mimosa bar. Brunch hours are from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Located at the base of an apartment complex in the South Lamar neighborhood, Fig is a fancy Italian restaurant and bar serving housemade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and a handful of small and large plates, including a giant tomahawk milanese that you’ll want to see for yourself. There’s also draft beer, wine, and a few signature cocktails. We visited Fig Italian. Read our initial thoughts here." - nicolai mccrary
"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
"From Phantasma Kitchen (ghost kitchen) I also loved unusual pizza toppings like potatoes on the Disappearing Act Roman pie and the spicy Canicule pie from Jester King that pairs corn with Padrón peppers — vegetables are great on pizza. Order online for pickups and third-party deliveries." - Erin Russell
"A ground-floor restaurant space beneath an apartment building that has proven difficult to sustain long-term tenants: it is vacant again after the most recent closure and has cycled through three restaurants at this address. The site has been contrasted with a nearby complex that experienced even higher turnover, though the local dining scene appeared to stabilize somewhat after a rough period in 2017–2018." - Erin Russell
