The Service was excellent but it was the food that blew us away ! The Shrimp bisque was amazing flavour, the Clams were so delicious , my first time ever and loved the stripe bass entree with many vegetables . The piece de resistance was the lemon tart! Absolutely the best food and loved the music and decorating for New Years!

The food was excellent. Our server was very polite, knowledgeable and checked in with us appropriately. When arriving to the restaurant each of us were uncertain as the signage was hard to spot and thought we were in the wrong spot. We all thought we were at the wrong place as the remax signs were so prominent and the West 81 sign was right at the building and barely visible with cars parked in front of it. Everyone enjoyed their food and we will be back.

Love love loved the experience. We would reserve this experience for a special occasion versus a weekly or biweekly event. Would not feel comfortable biking over for a casual lunch or dinner. Very much fine dining versus cottage casual. Will definitely be back. Great job. We are lucky to have you!! Thanks so much

As a vegetarian, I would like a few more veggie options. 2 of the 4 pastas are veggie. But how about a veggie risotto as well? Most of the appetizers are veggie but how about Caesar salad without anchovies and pork belly? I would like to point out the I really appreciated the fact that the the music was not loud. Bravo! So many restaurants ruin the atmosphere by blaring loud music.

Loved the experience I would love to redecorate ! I think the ambience can be so much more! Although it is charming. Also wish you had a liquor license as a nice glass of wine with a dinner is nice! But we know this is coming. The chef the waiter , the food etc. are all five stat

Delicious meal. Menu has so many choices. Service is exceptional. The restaurant is new and I’m sure ambience will develop. Dimmer lighting, music, candles on tables or maybe screens between some tables could add atmosphere. Great to have a restaurant with such quality food.

Burgers are cooked 'medium' and this means very pink. If that is not your preference, choose something else. We had lunch. Pasta portions were small and did not include any salad or extras. There were six of us and all would return. Half of the group would adjust their selections.

The food was amazing, the building is mediocre with very little lipstick . Move the chef to a better location and we’ll follow the chef. Who has an atrium with Picknick tables? This should be a diner for all the workers, all day breakfast and for the Summer crowds. Your trying to be the Fig with a diner atmosphere.
