“ I wish I would have come in here sooner!!! Everything was amazing and the service was great. The basil rolls were awesome, the sushi was delicious, and the Panang curry was perfect, the right amount of spice and awesome flavor. Will definitely be back! ”
“ What a gem in Monroe! Creative cocktails, excellent food, and a cool, speakeasy atmosphere. The servers are always excellent and happy and the food never disappoints. Literally my favorite restaurant in Walton County. ”
“ Food was amazing! Highly recommend the flaming cheese. Will definitely be going back. ”
“ Amazing food, ambiance and service! Definitely recommend for a date night out. Spanakopita was especially delicious ”
“ A relatively cute space it's small, but very warm in terms of decor and atmosphere. Definitely a place for a small group of friends to meet up or maybe a very cute and quaint dinner. Service was on point . Portion sizes were fair for the price points.. but all the food came out hot and with good presentation. I would recommend this place. I will say it's a nice upper taste for downtown Monroe but necessary! ”

“ Amazing food and atmosphere. Flaming Cheese--yes! Opa! Great music last night (@manselbutler99) as well was like our own mixed tape was playing! Service amazing--thanks Ella! ”
“ Oh, my! Is it an an Atlanta quality dining experience OTP (outside the Perimeter), or an Athens boutique quality experience west of Athens? Hard to say, but it's not hard to say you have got to try this restaurant! We started with wine and a cocktail - an interesting wine list with many Mediterranean choices. Who knew Croatia and Greece were vintners? They also have Italian and Australian selections and others. But the cocktail experience really shines. I had a Figgy Sour with bourbon, fresh fig, and simple syrup with fresh lemon. I'll be back if not just for this cocktail! But the food is outstanding! We started with the hummus and tsatziki platter - fresh, warmed flatbread and all delicious! Wednesday night offers Chef's Specials so make reservations! Husband had this week's special which included fresh broiled scallops, asparagus and rice in a delicious sauce. I had the vegetarian choice - Zucchini broiled with feta, bread crumbs and arugula with balsamic fig glaze. I was super impressed. We will be back soon. Big tip! Make a reservation 24 hours in advance (look for The Brown Fig on Facebook and send them a PM) - choose a low top table if you prefer more intimate, cozy, (and often) upholstered seating. The atmosphere is beautiful, and the staff is amazing. Our server, Maggie, was a joy and the owner, Vicky, even dropped by at the end of our meal (I appreciate the MBWA or as I call it "Management By Walking Around"! ”
“ Love the space! The seating was so comfortable. The drinks strong and flavorful, I'm still thinking about the Mediterranean mule. Reagan, our server, was attentive, funny and awesome at describing each dish for us. We eat every last bite and then still managed to try the tiramisu (Fucking awesome). Can't wait to go back :) ”
“ Located in downtown Monroe The Brown Fig has several options for parking. Paid parking is right beside the building for $3 an hour or unpaid parking is across the street. Seeing as they do not take reservations I recommend coming early to avoid wait times we got there 10 minutes before they opened and made it to the third party in line by the time they opened there was a line wrapped around the building. The restaurant was adorable with Miami art deco vibes. There was plenty of seating with a bar and a piano used for live music. To start I grabbed a Hendricks Martini with blue cheese olives which was fantastic and the Spaganaki "opa" it was a flaming Greek cheese served with lemon and crostini bread. It was fresh and stringy making great cheese pulls with a fun flaming flair. Next I got the Hollace Farmer Breeze, which reminded me of a Mai Tai without the rum. For dinner we had the Spanakopita ( loved it so crispy and delicious), the Gyro Plate ( meat was so tender, well seasoned and came with a ton), and the Anything but Ordinary Flatbread ( very good but I would recommend as an appetizer). Service was on point and the live music was the perfect volume to carry on a conversation. In conclusion I think I will be back for desert with the girls. ”
