Sofia Case: The bacon-wrapped dates here are LIFE. Perfect balance of sweet and salty with a gorgonzola-y surprise inside. Ask for a side of the bomb garlic aioli to go with the gambas al ajillo. 🍤
Claus Cibils: Very good food and attention, the cream croquets, alioli awesome and very nice claritas. Brings good memories of 8 years en S-pain.
Thrillist: Try the fried quail's egg and chorizo on toast, shoulder of young lamb with plums and yogurt, and braised rabbit in squid ink. Read more.

Maggie MacG: The burger here is sooo good (comes with fries) and is very shareable. The service here is excellent, much much better than the Top of the Gate.
Amber Shi: The duck breast is very impressive. Get it in medium. The cocktail called Strawberry is good too if you like gin.
Raakin Roll: The Milkshake (consisting of vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter) and the salmon is best done here

Behrad Eats: The Arancini with sundried tomatoes, mozzarella, sweet sausage, & smoked garlic aioli are just what you're looking for!
Jasmine Chan: Love this place. Grab a drink in the cute downstairs bar and head out to them patio for dinner.
John Kilvington: Not really a tip, but I once watched two blind men on a date both order the soft-shell crab special here. Sadly, I had to leave before I could see how that went down.

Andrea Ferreyros: The brekkie was delicious (half avocado toast half granola bowl). We also ordered the porridge which was good, nothing too special about it. Can’t wait to go back to try more items from the menu!
Sean Howell: The avocado mash is from frozen and artificial. This place is the mcdonalds of avocado toast
Jon Moore: Hit and miss service, sparse food options, coffee just OK ☕️

Bitches Who Brunch: The Bitches say: A. We had a delightful, delicious experience at the posh Fig & Olive. Once it’s cleared for Salmonella-free business again, we’d take our chances and go back again. Read more.
