    The food was good. The crab cake has too much filler and less crab but tasty. The fried green tomatoes were okay. The steak and truffle fries were very good and perfectly cooked. The coffee was terrible. It’s a nice neighborhood restaurant staff nice and accommodating

    Great meal and beverages. The service was challenged by the covid staffing shortage, but the whole experience was fantastic. The fillet was perfect and melted like butter. The truffle fries were some of the best we have ever had. Thanks for a great experience!

    We really enjoyed brunch at the Fig Tree. It was a nice day to sit on the porch. 3 of our party got the Nashville hot chicken and waffles and I got the fried green tomato BLT (minus the chow-chow) and it was soooo good!!! We also had some lemon drop martinis that were on point, we are picky about them. The chef even brought us some grilled corn that was soooo good! They need to add it to their menu!

    My wife and I had some fresh grouper, and it was fantastic. The server was friendly and attentive, and did a great job explaining all the specials. Also the proprietor, who was also the chef, came out to say hi, and make sure everything was going well. Atmosphere was great as well. This was just a well run place altogether.

    We had a very nice time at the Fig Tree. The food was exceptionally good except for the fingerling potatoes, which were abnormally hot. The crab cakes and chicken fried chicken were some of the best I have had. Most of the guests sat outside on the very large deck. They all appeared to be having a great time.

    What a great place to have a small business lunch! I wanted off the main drag, local flair place and The Fig Tree was my choice. Arriving, the hostess was so good and effective with making sure everything was just so. The appetizers (crab cakes & shellfish pastry) are to die for - a meal in themselves!. We opted for the salads but could have gorged on any item on the menu. Go to this place - Support this restaurant - they get 25% tipping for their care and service

    The inside DR had no ambiance w black cloths and harsh lights. Needs some candles or flowers and better lighting. Quieter music. Menu font too small to read. It was very loud in the room. And one waitress spoke excessively loudly.but waiter was excellent and friendly. Shrimp n Grits were great and over priced. The SMALL warm mushroom salad was mediocre and overpriced. For those prices some sides should come with the dish. The $15 cake was lovely and not all that good— just an impressive round slice. Too sweet with not great peach n brandy flavor . I think that What was the combination I can’t remember. We spend money going to good restaurants and were disappointed.We would love to see this restaurant make it and it has a pretty good menu if the pricing is reconsidered and if plates are larger or sides are added, and the dining room ambience is softened .The chef and the waiver we had were nice n friendly.

    We went after church on Sunday. Menu was very limited "brunch menu". When I asked waitress if this was all they had, she told us about 6 other dishes they had available. So make sure you ask about non-menu items available. The 3 of us all ordered off the menu.
