Excellent place for lunch. Excellent service from the start. The cocktails were noteworthy.
Chicago’s Gold Coast is home to FIG & OLIVE Chicago. On Oak Street, between Rush Street and Michigan Avenue’s Magnificent Mile, F&O Chicago is an escape for shoppers and locals weary from the rush of city life. Whether they indulge in a craft cocktail on the Rosé Terrace or an elegant evening dining in the White Room guests are transported away from the everyday and to the South of France. The buzzy bar scene and intimate Wine Room are perfect for a late-night rendezvous.

About the restaurant & décor: If a speakeasy is the template for Chicago cool, this Gold Coast restaurant is a refreshing departure. In fact, it's brighter, more effervescent and resort-like. When the weather is warm, book a seat on the well-groomed patio to watch the well-heeled stroll amid the couture boutiques. When it's not, request a table in the lounge area, where cream-colored sofas and low-profile tables add a ladies-who-lunch vibe.Likes: The second-floor dining room overlooking fashionable Oak Street.Dislikes: None.Food & Drinks: The Mediterranean-inspired eatery, with sister locations in Newport Beach, West Hollywood and New York, holds a chic address on Oak Street, where the posh come to graze over Gorgonzola tartlets, orange- and olive oil-drizzled hamachi crudo, multiple versions of flatbreads (manchego is a standout) and mains such as Kabocha squash risotto and the Fig & Olive tajine with chicken, vegetables, almond, couscous and harissa. Meat gets a starring role with hunky lamb chops, a 12-ounce rib-eye and 10-ounce New York strip sating carnivores. Desserts are a high-point, especially the chocolate pot de crème, which boasts crunchy hazelnut praline and vanilla cream. A citrusy Puglia white wine or the fruit-forward rosé sangría complements the chic plates. Order a cucumber cosmo (organic cucumber vodka, elderflower liqueur, cucumber purée and lime juice, served straight up) before easing back into the real world.
