Maghribi Chicken w Olive RiceDecided to give Fig & Olive another try after the lousy pasta. This time, I ordered a rice dish and was pleasantly surprised. The rice reminded me of briyani, probably because of the spices they used to cook it. The chicken was grilled and covered in a sauce that tasted alot like BBQ sauce. Taste Test: 9/10

I ordered the Chicken Pesto Carbonara ($16.1). The food comes in three portions on the plate. The baked potato cilantro is topped with sour cream; the main part is the Herb grilled chicken that topped with tomato sauce and melted cheese.The chicken is marinated Ok, tastes not bad too. However the pasta carbonara doesn't taste too delicious. The cream sauce is too heavy.

It was my first time here at Fig & Olive and I took quite long in deciding what to order. In the end, I decided to order the clam aglio olio pasta, since I saw the waitress taking it out to serve another customer beside my table, and I was enticed by the appearance of the pasta. When it arrived, first impression is that it smelt really nice. The pasta is not over cooked so it is not soggy and it is very delicious. The clams are very fresh as well and are quite juicy. The seasoning for the pasta

The seasoning for the pasta is also worth a mention. I felt that it tasted very authentic, perhaps due to the use of herbs. I liked the ambience of the restaurant as well and service here is generally good as the waitresses are attentive.

Whoever not eaten at “Fig & Olive” at Vivo City, I would advise you not to try out there. Their service really pissed me off. It was our first visit, me and my husband ordered a set – beef sirloin that comes with a drink and a scoop of ice cream ($19.90) and an a-la-carte lamb with olive ($26+). Rather quick, they served the ‘lamb’, it did not look like lamb though, that piece of meat without bone was covered up with thick sauce. We verified with the waiter, that nerdy guy went to the kitche

Whoever not eaten at “Fig & Olive” at Vivo City, I would advise you not to try out there. Their service really pissed me off. It was our first visit, me and my husband ordered a set – beef sirloin that comes with a drink and a scoop of ice cream ($19.90) and an a-la-carte lamb with olive ($26+). Rather quick, they served the ‘lamb’, it did not look like lamb though, that piece of meat without bone was covered up with thick sauce. We verified with the waiter, that nerdy guy went to the kitchen and came back confirming that it was LAMB! FINE! HE HAD JUST INSULTED US! To proof him wrong, we sliced the meat, it was CHICKEN!!!! WHITE MEAT!!!! The mistake was intolerable for people working in a restaurant to actually call lamb a chicken! We called out for the manager immediately and they brought it back to the kitchen without arguing, thank God! They then served the steak. From the look of it, it’s almost well done. In case we got insulted again, we cut up the meat first then told them we actually ordered for medium rare. That nerd reconfirmed with us….”Did you order medium well or medium rare?” Blood boiling…for one to be successful in the service industry, not only that he has to know the products well, it is equally important that he possess the right attitude. Needless to say, he failed completely. Despite the insults and the sub-standard service, we did not walk off. We waited and finished the food. The steak was full of tendon and the olive rice was bland, hard and lumpy. I would rate the food below average given the price. Not forgetting the ice cream that comes with the set, we asked for it as well as the bill. As expected, the bill came first then the ice cream, no one noticed that our table was not cleared. They were not bothered….there came the bill, EFFICIENT! We only paid for the food and the 7% GST. They just don’t deserve to be paid the 10% service charge. Sadly, they are such a FAILURE IN SINGAPORE SERVICE INDUSTRY!!!

I went to Vivo City after project work tonight to have a dinner with my friends.

We went for a trial to Fig & Olive. I picked the table at the middle facing the bar. I ordered the Seafood Carbonara.

I am quite surprised that my soup and pasta came within 5 mins. However, that's just the beginning of my nightmare, soup is super salty and the pasta was not hot at all as if it is not being cooked. The sauce was just slight warmer than the pasta. Apparently, these are precooked and put aside for a long time. Well, to me, that's fine as I know a lot of shop and hawker center stall will do that BUT before they serve these to customer, they will re-heat the pasta with the sauce and have it stir fry in the fried-pan.

It really does not worth my penny.

Fig & Olive's spicy tuna pasta is way below average!!Even my home cooked pasta is many times nicer than it!Very disappointing meal!Please do not patronize Fig & Olive at all,if not,eat at your own risk and disappointment.The pasta doesn't look appealing or appetizing at all. And the portion is quite small also which doesn't fill your stomach.
