Fig & Olive Downtown, NYC

Overall: Mmmm
Cost: $47/person incl. wine
The food was not only good for a Meatpacking restaurant, it was delicious in general. The Spanish and Italian hams in particular, as well as the desserts (Vanilla Fig Tart and White Chocolate Mousse Praline), are worth going back for. Order everything to share and you can have a surprisingly affordable meal. The atmosphere is lively and elegant, but perhaps the city has finally reached its saturation point for oversized restaurants: I went on a Thursday nite and the space was only half full.
