This place is amazing! Everything I've had here is the best quality and most delicious! I highly recommend the Foie Gras and the Escargot. The service was also excellent! All management and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I want to give a special thank you to Fletcher at the bar. She is an absolute gem!! An overall wonderful experience!

We had a lovely experience! First time patrons with The Fig Tree and fine dining. The atmosphere was awesome and service impeccable. Our food was delicious and would highly recommend! I ordered the sea scallops, which were exceptional, a terrific alcoholic beverage, and a decadent dessert. We celebrated a family birthday that night and were very impressed. Thank you so much; we will definitely be back!

We went for my wife's birthday and was seated right away as we had a reservation. We were greeted by very friendly hostesses and our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable. Service overall was impeccable! For appetizers, we ordered the foie gras, the octopus and the pork belly. The seared foie gras was very tasty but the portion was rather small. The octopus was succulent and tender. The pork belly was very flavorful and portion size was perfect for an appetizer. For our main courses, we order the Veal and the Elk. Elk meat or elk steak will now be my new favorite go to. Very very tender and juicy almost like prime rib if you like it medium rare, however it is not gamey at all. The red cabbage that came with the elk chop had a little bitterness to it that threw me off. The Veal chop was cooked perfectly on the inside however the outside in my opinion maybe could use a little bit of charring to build a crust and a little more seasoning. The two sides that came with the veal is just good. I definitely recommend this place and would like to return again.

Last evening I had the pleasure of dining at the Fig Tree and it was everything and more. We had a 5 course dinner with wine pairing that spanned from salmon to veal ragu to steak to amazing dessert. This old convert house is a gem in this city and everyone should go there. The staff was attentive and amazing to host all of us.

We have not visited Fig Tree in a while, but were there last night and it was a fantastic experience. I HIGHLY recommend the Elk chop. It was so flavorful. It had a slight peppercorn crust and the meat was very tender. The red cabbage went extremely well with it and I put a bit of it with every bite of elk. It was so good ! It also came with spaetzle, but I have to say mine is better. If they would have added garlic and parsley to the spaetzle it would have been good also. Entrees come with a nice green salad and it tasted very fresh. Hubby had the lamb loin and it was extremely tender. He loved his dinner and ordered pinot to go with it. We had lobster cake as an appetizer. There were 2 small cakes topped with microgreens. The cakes were nestled over a green sauce that had a hint of spicy heat. They were very good. My pear vodka cocktail was divine. The flavors blended beautifully. I could have easily been greedy and ordered 2. For dessert my husband got the mocha cake with mocha ganache and crunchy bits on top. He loved it so much he didn't want to eat or drink anything after his last bite so that he could savor the flavor. It was nicely rich for those that like mocha. The dessert is very small, so no worries about not being able to finish. I got a Chicago-style strawberry cheesecake and it was yummy. The strawberry was fresh and the cheesecake was very good. I think a little less crumbly crust would have been nice to bring out the creaminess. (We overheard another waiter describe the difference in Chicago vs NY cheesecake.... NY is more dense). Sorry, photos got too dark once the sun went down to see the dessert photos well. What I love about this place is that it is in an old house that has been turned into a restaurant. It has a warm & cozy feel for a special occasion. The women's bathroom is gorgeous ! The service is excellent and I highly recommend this place for a quiet, classy dinner. It's far above most modern places we've recently been to that attempt to hype things up by blasting music to the point you can't hear the person you came with. This place has stayed true to CLASS. It is quiet and a perfect place to bring a date or for a special occasion.

Lovely restaurant for a special meal! Would definitely recommend. Pros: - interesting menu and the food was delicious. The sauce the escargot came in was sooo yummy. - our server Fernando provided excellent service - ambiance is warm and charming Cons - would be nice to have mocktails on the menu - the beignets were underwhelming and tasted like regular donuts

This is a great special occasion place! We enjoyed celebrating our anniversary here, sitting at a cozy table tucked away in a corner. Our waiter was great! He was so attentive and knowledgeable, and checked in often enough that all needs were met without feeling like he was joining our date (lol). The wine list was EXTENSIVE. I found a Malbec I liked, though truly the options felt endless. The menu on the other hand was brief and easy to read. Several options really appealed to me, and I ended up choosing the veal osso busco. My partner chose the veal chop, which was also incredible. We love escargot and were happy to find that on the menu as well. Finally, we ordered cheesecake for dessert, which was fabulous, and they brought little truffles out for us, too (celebration!). Some cons: it was rather dark! I think it lended to the ambience having the dimmed lights. However, it would be nice to have *a little* brighter lights at the individual tables. Secondly, there were very few vegetarian options. As someone with dietary restrictions, I often use these as a fallback. If pescatarian, you'll be fine! But if you eat neither meat, nor fish, the options are quite limited. Finally, I would not call this the most handicap friendly restaurant. It's in an old house, which makes for nice ambiance, but restrooms are upstairs and think it could be somewhat difficult to navigate if you make wider turns. Overall, this place was incredible. I would definitely call this a special occasion place, a little pricey for everyday haunts. The experience was memorable and happy.

For our anniversary, we decided to come to Fig Tree to celebrate. The Fig Tree is a quaint little house turned into a restaurant. I have had memories of these types of restaurants back in Charlotte when I was younger, but the Fig Tree was a new experience since I've never been here. Seating is pretty tight and cozy, but they also had seating over AC vents. Because it's reservation heavy, if you do get an AC vent I don't think your experience will be extremely pleasant but it's still doable. There's also outdoor seating but, since it was a hot summer night we stayed inside. We started off with drinks, Sparkling Pear Martini along with several appetizers. The Lamb Carpaccio, Fois Gras, and Escargot. For mains I got the Elk Chop, because that's a piece of meat that you usually don't see on the menu. The elk was pretty good, lean, gamey, but the flavors were tasty. The appetizers stole most of my stomach as it was really filling. I did take food home, but at the end of the meal I was really satisfied. I would recommend to come here for a date, or a special event. The ambiance here is cozy and I would say if you like people watching or just listening to conversations this place is great. It's quiet and a place where you can have a good conversation with good food. Overall, I would come back to Fig Tree. It's a unique experience. Parking is a bit tight though as there are limited parking spots in the lot. Depending on when you come, I would say it may line up to the timing of those before you leaving.
