    Excited to celebrate two birthdays. The food was good but service was very slow and disappointing. Not our first visit and definitely not up to the standards of prior dining experiences.

    Really good food. Our server Dylan was right on point. We got a cheese plate and asked him what would be a good wine, and he got it right. I got the Elk chop and it was flavorful. My husband got a kingclip fish, and he said it was good. We will definitely be going back.

    Fantastic meal / drinks and service. Fernando, our waiter for the evening was spot on in all regards. Timing was perfect as well. The food choices / presentation were well prepared and delicious. We ordered the fish special, bone in rib eye, oysters, butternut squash soup. Wine pairings were perfect. Dennis and another bartender with a beard, sorry didn’t get his name at the bar were hard at work serving up tasty cocktails. Thanks for a great Anniversary evening out. We will be back for sure.

    We really expected the flavors and service to be out of this world, but it was all just average. There was certainly nothing wrong with our food or our service, it just wasn’t remarkable. We ordered the fois gras, the mixed green salad (the dressing was very good), the soup of the day was butternut squash, the sea bass and mashed potatoes were rather flavorless, the veal chop was cooked nicely and the sauce was tasty but the sides were boring. As I said, all was fine and nothing worth complaining about. It just didn’t feel luxurious given the price.

Our waiter was knowledgeable and profession, but very friendly as well. He really was a pro at his work! The rest of the staff was sensational as well. We'll be back!

    This restaurant has terrific food and very professional service. The Sea-bass with truffles, lobster and prosciutto is a truly memorable dish. The wine list is large and well thought out but has a wine for every budget. I was particularly impressed with the number of excellent French wines.

    First time here for our anniversary and we had a great time. Michael, our waiter was lovely, very knowledgeable, funny and made the evening that much nicer. I had burrata, very good but, needed more than one crisp to enjoy the small plate. Ended up using the bread. My filet mignon was cooked a perfect medium rare and delicious. For dessert, I had the pear and meringue, very small but tasty. My husband enjoyed a Caesar salad, fettuccine with vegetables, the soup of the day (squash based), and beignets with coffee ice cream. We enjoyed our meal, the staff, and will return.

    Best restaurant experience since moving to Charlotte. The service was impeccable, the menu is so well crafted, they have an excellent wine list and all within beautiful surroundings. We went for our anniversary, multiple members of staff acknowledged this, and sat outside on the patio. Escargots starter was a highlight and if I could have taken home a bowl of the sauce I would have. The Sea Bass main was recommended and rightly so, it was cooked to perfection. The veal main was a sizeable dish that my husband said was extremely tasty. Unfortunately we were too full for dessert so now have a great excuse to return. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough; the whole experience was just wonderful.

    The food was perfectly cooked and portions generous. Our server was really knowledgeable and animated. The one caveat to the meal is the house salad that comes with an entree. It was not very inspired, but worse than that the dressing was flavorless, so the whole salad was less than tasty, unlike the rest of the meal.

    First time experience at the Fig Tree. The service , ambiance and value are outstanding. Our waitress Susie was exceptional. The soup appetizer was excellent as was my wife’s redfish special. The Elk was highly over seasoned and tough. I would not order again and our waitress removed from our bill. Overall , very worthwhile experience that we would repeat.
