    Amazing! We had dinner reservations for after an event at Capital One Arena (only 3 blocks away). The food was the best we've had in DC over multiple trips into the city. The servers were knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. The ambiance was perfect, warm, cozy, and casual. Did I mention the food! Tuna meatballs, Seafood Amalfi Risotto, Lamb Steak, chocolate mousse!!! Fantastic cocktails (Cafe Noir Nigroni) and cappuccino to top it off. We'll definitely be back and with friends!

    Staff were attentive and welcoming. Food was very delicious. We ordered small plates and a side: Burrata, raw bar (half dozen), chickpea tortilla tacos, tuna meatballs, grilled octopus, grilled carrots. Our favorite was the tuna meatballs - definitely ordering that again! The only dish that was slightly off was the octopus - was a little overcooked. The staff graciously gave us our dessert to go (so we could properly thank the grandparent sitters). We’d gladly come back for cocktails and full entrees in the future!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Fig and Olive. The food was great, the service was excellent, and the place was centrally located to our plans for the evening. We will be back.

    We were a party of 7 and sat on the upper level. The table was a nice big size and had enough space around it. Food and wine were great and delivered fairly quickly. Friendly service. Prizes are on the steep side, especially for the wine.

    It was ok. Service wasn’t great. Food was marginal and music, too loud to carry a business conversation. I wouldn’t recommend

    Enjoyed a business lunch meeting on a weekday here. Initially, our table was not ready despite having a reservation so we were seated at the bar. Not a big deal, we then were moved to our table for two which was very comfortable. Service was great, food was prepared fresh and fast. I enjoyed the salad with salmon while my colleague had a chicken sandwich and fries. Interior is well designed and chic, high ceilings, although we found we could hear conversations next to us. One of many dining options nearby and certainly worth at least one visit.

    Chose to eat here because of the nice outdoor space, but upon arriving, we were told F&O stopped seating outside after 9 (it was 9:08). Ten minutes after we were seated inside, another couple was seated outside. Our waiter was a bit awkward and spilled water all over our table (not a big deal, but he didn’t apologize, and he then tried wiping it up with a non-absorbent napkin that just pushed it around further). A coffee we didn’t order was on our final bill. Overall, the food was quite good, the drinks were okay, and the experience was not the best. We will likely try again another time in case this was a fluke.
