FIG

FIG, founded in 2003 by Chef/Owner Mike Lata and partner Adam Nemirow, is credited with championing the local food movement. The restaurant is committed to its family of purveyors, whose products are the driving force and inspiration for its work, and paying respect to their efforts and traditions is essential to its mission.

The FIG experience is about more than food. A sincere effort to educate the staff on all aspects of food and beverage culture is the basis of its service philosophy, with the goal that guests feel special, comfortable and well taken care of. Once a humble corner bistro, FIG has since garnered three James Beard Foundation Awards and become one of the top dining destinations in the Southeast.

FIG is at 232 Meeting Street in Charleston and is part of Food Is Good Hospitality. It won the James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Wine Program in 2018, and Jason Stanhope won the James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef: Southeast in 2015.
