This is a wonderful boutique restaurant that offers an intimate dining experience. The service team and owner provide a friendly touch. It does seem like they are serving family and welcome you into their home. It is pricey and the menu is sophisticated so don't expect standard fare. Background music, sculpture and art pieces add to the living room ambience. This is more of a signature restaurant for special occasions when you want the experience of lovely service, exotic food choices and a pleasing atmosphere.

Delicious. Mahi Mahi Picatta, yummy. Pasta carbonara good but needed more pancetta just say’n. Definitely go back again. The lasagna must be awesome because it sold out quickly. Everyone was accommodating friendly and never felt rushed. The seafood Mara was also good and the fettuccini with shrimp good as well. Chianti went well with everything. Definitely recommend Coastsl Capri. Nice variety on menu.

About the restaurant

It was Chef Munjid and his wife Tammy’s dream to one day be able to open their own Mediterranean restaurant and share his cuisine with the world. That dream is now a reality with Olive and Fig Mediterranean Kitchen. Together they take great pride in making each plate transport you to the Greek Isles or the banks of the Mediterranean Sea where some of the finest cuisine is served. We are excited to bring you some flavors from the Mediterranean and we hope you enjoy!

As we are in our peak season we are requesting that you have patience as our cuisine is made to order. You will find no precooked items and we do not use microwaves or steam tables to heat or store food. In addition, no frozen items except those that should be such as French fries or ice cream desserts.

We take pride in our quality and request if have any concerns or not satisfied please ask to speak with Tammy the owner.

Thank you for choosing us as part of your dining experience. We look forward to serving you!

We are always so excited to come to SeaBlue when we are in town. The oysters, mushroom ravioli, and fresh catch are some of our favorites. The service is wonderful every time and the ambience is perfect!
