Fig & olive is a mediterranean inspired italian and amercan accented dishes type of place. The interior is a very Urban chic, blending industrial elements like concrete and unfinished masonry With candle lit warmth, fresh potted rosemary bushes and walls lined with pots of small olives bushes. The central bar Area has walls of olive oil (they press their own nutty virgin olive oil With hints of almond) and Wine bottles.
The ambience is upbeat and energized, with dance beats playing, and staff that was very attentive, friendly and happy. Yes, this is NY in the spring! Lets set the mood:
The food was fabulous. The pics will not display properly as the interior was rather low lit.
The trio crostini With a pomegranite martini were a Joy to consume.
Bresaloa sprinkled With olive oil and a speckle of humboldt fog cheese topped the First one, a seared shrimp and avocado on top of olive tapenade was the second and a prosciutto and huckleberry topped crostini made for a third... All were fantastic bites:
The fig and olive salad was loaded with rich and plump olives, sautteed figs and adorned With paper thin Apple slices, some feta sprinkles and a fig reduced balasmic dressing that was divine:
The filet mignon was prepared médium rare, succulent raw juices bursting out, topped with an herbed butter and rock salt, devilishly paired well with roasted crimini mushrooms and sautteed spinach with figs.
All accompanied With a robust malbec, this little happening spot is another favorite in the meat packing District.
