Business meeting and dinner with clients there for first time. Service was spotless and unmatched. Little disappointed with lamb option as it was a little dry and not seasoned well so it taste like game. We requested that the salmon be blackened rather than pan roasted it was delicious- hats off to the Chef! Mixed reviews since some of the food was very delicious and other selections were not. Several desserts to choose from Beignet / ice cream was very tasty. We also had cheesecake which was traditional. Not certain if we will return at this time.
Amazing service, very beautiful interior in a old house. The tuna tartare was delicious. So fresh and creative with the different sauces.
I had the veal and it was my first time trying veal - not my favorite
Context: this was my second time there. I went for dinner with my wife. No particular celebration.
I give this place 4 stars: this is based on cost vs quality
Pros
+Great location. The house is charming, clean and well built although the inside is a bit dark for my taste. Difficult to see the plates
+Offers a terrace options which is nice.
+ staff is nice and helpful. My wife spilled a cocktail and the waiter brought another one no questions asked which was great
+Food is good
+ menu is simple but tasty
+free parking
Cons:
- some of the food came accros as greedy. As an example the burrata appetizer comes with toasted brioche which is really half a slice of toast for an entire burrata, definitely not enough.
- table all around us got a special sweet treat at the end but we didn’t. Not sure why but we felt less important for sure.
Quaint historical home turned restaurant. Top tier service. To be very honest I was very excited to finally get to try this restaurant out because of everyone's reviews and all the high praise. To my disappointment it was kind of anticlimactic when it came to the food. I'm really hoping they were just having an off night. I really thought the lamb would've been a lot more tender. The foi gras was good but kinda fell flat instead of having a full flavorful finish. Portions were plentiful. The servers were kind knowledgeable and quick. The drinks were really good. The whole restaurant was impeccably clean. I will be giving it another chance soon.
A fantastic experience every time we come here. It used to be just for special occasions, but now we make any occasion special to come here! Top notch food and service all the time.
I have never had a better steak.
Check my reviews. I would not say that lightly.
I, literally, came back the next day to share the experience with my eldest daughter.
Hats off to the chef, owner, hosts and especially our wait staff.
Suzie - warm. Inviting. Comforting with the whole easy conversation. Someone who anticipates your needs.
Jennifer - engaging. Bright. A smile that is infectious. She was our first guide and her patience was commendable.
As a person very critical of other dining experiences, I can say this was the best I’ve had and it isn’t close.
Been wanting to try The Fig Tree Restaurant in Charlotte NC for awhile and lucky to get a great giftcard for my birthday. Beautiful space and excellent service. Our server John was attentive and knowledgeable! We had the apple beggars purse, the duck confit, the halibut and a steak special - a bone in cowgirl. Everything was amazing! All the entrees got a garden salad and we upgraded for $3 to a Caesar and spinach salad! The wine list was over the top too!!! I will definitely go back for a special occasion!!! ❤️🎉❤️🎉
If I could rate 10 stars, I would. Went last night to celebrate 12 years of marriage, and from start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. Made us feel so welcome. Our waiter, Fernando, was the best. His recommendations and his humor were top-notch. Will definitely be back. Thanks for helping us celebrate and making it special for us!
Yesterday we celebrated an anniversary at The Fig Tree. Upon walking in the staff was attentive, friendly, and ready to seat us. Our server Corey was incredible! Out of all the restaurants I've been to Corey gave the most professional service I've ever had. He was extremely knowledgeable of the menu as well as classic wine pairings. We enjoyed his suggestion of having sauternes wine with the foie gras. It was delicious. The foie gras was our favorite dish out of the six courses we tried. All of the meals are nicely balanced both in flavor, texture, and plating. Everything was perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. What more could one ask for? It was the perfect way to celebrate and a wonderful experience. We can't wait to come try a new menu in the future. Thank you Corey and The Fig Tree staff!
Everything was top notch. Our server, the vibe and the cuisine for exactly what we had hoped for. The outdoor seating was perfect, the food was exceptional and our server was attentive. I can't believe this was the first time I visited. Thanks for making our 17 yr anniversary so special!
