"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 some brioche-crusted flounder—as Fig sources the best from local purveyors like Abundant Seafood." - jai jones, emily yates
"This Charleston stalwart was the longtime post of James Beard Award–winning chef Jason Stanhope; he left in 2023 to take over the kitchens at two restaurants in the Pinch hotel on George Street." - Erin Perkins
"A long-established Charleston restaurant frequently cited as one of the stalwarts to monitor for softies, since it typically gets first access to the limited soft-shell crab supply." - Erin Perkins
"If we go into the city, we love FIG — we go there as much as we can." - Erin Perkins
"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
