   Worst service I’ve gotten in a long time. We were practically forgotten in plain site. Had to bring empty water bottle to bar three separate times to get more water. They were out of ingredient in an appetizer we ordered and instead of telling us they were out, she just didn’t bring us our appetizer. There wasn’t much inventiveness in way of the menu and it was overpriced for the quantity of food that was given. I won’t be spending my money here again.

   We decided to come to Rome + Fig for a date night because we had visited for brunch a couple of years ago and had such a great experience that we wanted to return for dinner. Unfortunately, while the brunch left a lasting impression, dinner did not live up to our expectations. Our server was wonderful—friendly, attentive, and truly doing her best—but it was clear she was the only one working the floor, which made the experience feel chaotic. I really felt for her, as she seemed overwhelmed, yet she remained professional and kind throughout the night. The atmosphere at dinner was drastically different from brunch. Inside, the music was so loud it felt more like a nightclub than a restaurant, so we opted for the patio to have a more comfortable experience. I started with an Old Fashioned, which took quite a while to arrive. While it wasn’t terrible, it certainly wasn’t great—especially at the price point. Using small ice cubes instead of a single large one meant it melted too quickly, diluting the drink and affecting the experience. As for food, the appetizers were the highlight of the meal. My partner had the meatballs and enjoyed them, and I ordered the fried green tomatoes, which were flavorful but misleading—they weren’t green tomatoes at all, just regular red ones, making them soft and mushy rather than crisp. Unfortunately, the entrees were where things really fell apart. While the menu descriptions were enticing, the execution was seriously lacking. The dishes were bland, with salt seemingly the only seasoning used. The proteins were drastically overcooked and disappointingly small for the price. When you’re paying $30+ per entrée, you expect a certain level of quality and portioning, neither of which were delivered. At the end of the night, our bill came to over $160 for one drink, two appetizers, and two entrees—and for that price, the meal should have been exceptional. Instead, it left us wishing we had chosen another spot.

   The food was very disappointing. We started with the green tomato caprese, which was just okay. For our main course, we both ordered filet, but the meat quality was poor. One of the steaks was so gristly and tough that it was inedible. When we mentioned this to our waitress, she apologized and offered to bring a replacement. I opted for the chicken kale salad instead. Given the situation, one would expect some priority in service, but we waited another 20 minutes for the salad. When it finally arrived, the chicken was overcooked, dry, and difficult to chew. Considering it was Valentine’s Day, the experience was even more disappointing. This was easily one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had in the past couple of years.

   I was really looking forward to coming here but was a little let down. The food was pretty good but not great. I loved the espresso martini tree. I love the atmosphere. My polenta came out cold and it took the waitress forever to see me trying to flag her down to let her know. By the time she came to the table my sister had almost finished all of her food. She took it back and and brought me a new dish that was warm and I had to eat it while my sister just watched me. It kind of put a damper on our galentines but we ordered crème brûlée after to share and it was good. The waitress said she would have the manager come over when she took my dish back but that never happened. I think I would have been happier just trying happy hour on the patio instead of having a formal meal.

   It was extremely noisy and we had brought my elderly in laws for brunch. The girl at the check in desk was not very accommodating but our server was wonderful and she moved us to a table outside where my in laws could hear us. She was so kind and compassionate! Kiddos to her! The food was excellent we had a great time! The grilled cheese and tomato bisque was terrific!

   The food was amazing and I love the ambience. Our waitress was very nice, but not very aware. I had to get up several times to ask for different things that we needed and it took at least 20 minutes for her to bring the check after we asked for it.
