"The waiter was particular about who he wanted to provide great service. Told our group of young black woman he had no suggestions. And did not go into details about the wine. Went on to have a entire conversation with details of the wines with recommendations to another group"

"I wouldn't recommend this restaurant at all. They call it Nepalese, but it's just a fancy name for Indian food that I love. There are many excellent Indian restaurants here, but this is not one of them. Firstly, there were no other customers when we got there. Two parties came in after us and we dealt with them before we did. We expressly told the waitress everything mild. When we ordered a birayani she forgot to tell us until we complained that it is always spicy. We started with an inedible lentil soup. It was cold and salty. We asked for hot tea and she said they had gone out that afternoon. Our chicken tikka was all sauce and very little chicken. We sent it back and told them to add more chicken. The shrimp dish was the same - all sauce and hardly any shrimp. The sauces over the rice were pleasant, but overpriced for how little you got. We enjoyed the starter of Mo MO and the Chana Masala. I love Mango Lassi, but they just poured it out of a 1 gallon container. It was probably pre-made in the supermarket. Don't go here when we have such a large and diverse Indian community with excellent restaurants across the region."

"The food was delicious, service was impeccable, and they took great care of us for my husband's birthday. Loved the signature scampi pasta and the red snapper ceviche especially. Highly recommend! And a shoutout to Lera behind the bar who is fabulous and so knowledgeable. A terrific experience."

"It is disappointing that getting additional drinks after our meal is always a challenge. We are usually only served one drink before our meal and maybe one when the meal is served. If we want anything further, we have to flag down wait staff, often not our assigned wait staff, to get their attention. It seems like there is an unspoken two drink maximum policy. This has happened on more than one occasion with different wait staff, which I find odd. Despite this, we enjoy the place and the food."

"This place has very tasty food, but there is so much going on here, I'd recommend taking it to go. There is indoor seating and outdoor seating, there is pick up and there is order at the counter to take out. The place has a palpable anxious energy when you enter. The wait staff is very nice, but seem very frazzled. The bathroom is very clean. The food is fresh and delicious. They have a pretty large menu that they serve throughout the day, and a very nice drink list as well. It's a great place to eat outside if the weather is nice. They have live music on Sundays. The patio is dog friendly, although that doesn't mean to let your dog sniff people and go to other tables. Please keep it on a leash close to you."

"This restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience. I recently dined here with my family, and we were impressed by the wide variety of options available for both vegetarians and meat lovers. The meals were delicious and quite filling. While the prices are on the higher side—we spent over $200 for a three-course meal—it's worth it for the experience. The restaurant serves authentic Italian cuisine and boasts an extensive selection of wines. It can get quite busy; we had to wait 40 minutes for a table, but the staff was attentive and efficient. Overall, it’s a fantastic restaurant, and I would definitely return in the future."

"The service was excellent. A rose on the table was a nice touch. Seating was a bit of an issue with most women sitting on a pillowed bench that was far too low compared to the table height. We were encouraged to sit on pillows to accomodate. Our placement in the restaurant was less than ideal as we faced the kitchen entrance on one side and a Bar TV on the other; not very elegant for a $400+ Valentine’s Day dinner. The appetizers were good over all. We ordered the scallops and the branzino for dinner. The options on the prix fixe menu were plentiful but there were a few little misses. The branzino was very good, but the spinach base was over salted so much it almost ruined the meal. Additionally, they left off my vegetables on my scallop plate, but rushed to fix it. The dessert was satisfying with a lemon tiramisu and a chocolate cake option. Overall, I was looking for an exceptional experience and not a great value. They delivered a B+."

"We got two appetizers including the burrata and I can't remember the other one and my fiance got the chicken parmesan and I got the chicken piccata. The chicken piccata sauce was disappointing disappointing at best it tasted a little like dish detergent and the piece of chicken was pale and under seasoned almost boiled honestly laid within the pasta. Such a shame the desserts were fabulous"

"This restaurant is my all time favorite. I like the way the menu changes for the different seasons. It's difficult to just pick one appetizer they all sound so fabulous. The dinner choices are equally delicious and keep you staring at the menu. I love their soups as well. You will not want to miss this place. Carlo greets us with a great big hug and Oscar helps out with our dinner choice because I want one of everything. He's a terrific waiter and always checks in on us. They even serve delicious desserts. Try and leave room for those... Food and staff make this place my number one restaurant."

"I had been to Figs one other time several years ago. And if anything they have gotten better. I had the. Chicken Tangine and my husband has the veal forestierre. Both were delicious and beautifully presented. My tanging was chocked full of pump and juicy chicken breast pieces as well as a variety of tasty mushrooms, walnuts, apricots, and pears. The fruit sis not overwhelm the dish and the juice was savory and well balanced. I highly recommend this dish. I also enjoyed a white sangria which as very refreshing. And we split the beet salad which had creamy pieces of goat cheese we would have appreciated a little more cheese. The ambiance is interesting. Open, but also cozy and welcoming. Our server was pleasant, unobtrusive, and efficient. We’ll be back"

"Service wasn’t good. We weren’t gien menus when seated, but other tables seated after us were given menus. We didn’t know who our waiter was as if we were never acknowledged. It took forever to just order drinks. The portions were small and not of good quality. It was as if it was prepared and tasted as if it came out of a cafeteria. Even the ice cream dessert was unappetizing. Our experience was not good whatsoever, and we will not be dining at this restaurant again."

"We were in town for New Years and excited to try a new reresturant. We opened the door and the lady barked, Do you have a reservation? We told her we did and she pointed to the table. We sat down and the waitress asked if we wanted anything to drink besides water and I asked if I could have a minute to look at the wine list. She left and didn 't come back for about 10 minutes. So, when I ordered my wine I told her we wanted an appetizer. She told me I couldn 't order one until I ordered my food. So, it took awhile for her to come back to take our food order. The atmosphere was very uptight and the entire dining experience was bad. On the other hand, the food was very good. Although we ordered a side of pasta for $17 and it was maybe three bites. That was disappointing. I realize it was homemade, but really? The server also knew we were going to split it and she never bothered to tell us how small it was. We spent around $180. After the way we were treated we definitely won 't go back."

"I had an amazing time dining in at this establishment during the Little Italy Fest on Taylor Street, and I have yet to find a better Italian eatery, or any eatery in general. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to experience true italian home-cooked meals, with coffee that Is absolutely amazing. Easy 10 from me."

"Food was very slow to arrive at table. When it did arrive, my main course was not hot. Needed to sent it back. Paella lacked flavor. We were told it served two people. It does not. It is a normal full-size serving for one. It was mostly shells and little fish and the rice was overcooked to the point that it stuck to the bottom of the pan. Pasta bolognese was acidic and actually tasted bad. The servers and hosts were all very personable so I feel badly for them. The kitchen has problems."

"I've been here a couple of times but this time it was a little disappointing. The braesola starter which I love really saved up on the mushrooms. And they were plain old mushrooms, not the fabulous wild mushrooms they had in the past. I was amazed. The pasta specifically was salty and dry. The fried calamari and prawns were very salty too. The quality of the food that goes into the meals is really top notch. In their defense, we went there right after the holiday weekend and maybe it was a little different. It won't stop us from coming back in the hope that it was an anomaly rather than the norm."

"I ordered a Genova sandwich yesterday based on the recommendation of a Caucasian gentleman—sorry, that's all I can say about his description—and a young Spanish woman who heard my complaint today. I got home eager to enjoy my Italian Genova sandwich, but instead, I received the Trento sandwich, which I believe was due to the walnuts in it. Unfortunately, there was no one available to refund my money, but the kind Spanish lady offered to make me another sandwich. However, I don't eat nuts in my sandwiches, and I can't help but think about what would have happened if I were allergic to nuts."

"This is one of those places that while I like it and come here kind of regularly, I feel like it could be a lot better. I love the malawah! You can get it classic or with their delicious hummus or with vegan cheese . All very good! They have various vegan milk options so you can make substitutions. Keep in mind that this is really a vegetarian place so the standard for most items includes dairy and there are eggs in others. The standard side salad that comes with the dishes, beware. It has a pesto dressing with dairy and you need to replace it. They don't tell you that... You can order everything vegan and you will still be served it without a thought. Only after having a bite did I realize, ask, confirm and get it corrected. So now I know when I order to substitute the dressing right away. It's a cute place and sometimes it's quite crowded. Sometimes it's not as clean as it should be. Sometimes they have left the garbage out too long and there are flies. They can do a better job on the art portion love the idea but it's often not done that well. So... I come for the delicious malawah and that's what the 4 stars are for but they can be a lot better."

"First time back here after the shutdown. Like all restaurants, you can tell they were hit pretty hard. Overall experience just average as compared to over years ago on multiple occasions prior. Salads small and too simple. Entrees were reasonable but when you factor in the pricing just average from a value standpoint. Not interested in returning. Sad to say, but a different experience then in prior years."
