Reviews
The Caesar Salad was crisp and fresh, with homemade Caesar dressing with real anchovies! The fresh focaccia bread came with garlic spread, we enjoyed amazing wines, my wife’s Filet Mignon was perfectly cooked, as was my Elk Chop, and the Crème Brûlée was delicious.
An old foodie couple who goes out to try new restaurants every week told me that their favorite restaurant is Fig Tree without hesitation. The first time I tried it, it instantly became our favorite too.
I recommended it to my friends, and we had a party of 7 everyone agreed it was the best fine-dining restaurant they’d ever been to. With every bite, you can tell the chefs truly put their heart and effort into the food.
Our server, Justin, added extra charm to the experience with his great sense of humor. making the evening even more memorable.
If you’re looking for the ultimate romantic dining experience in Charlotte, The Fig Tree delivers in spades. From the moment we walked in, the intimate ambiance set the tone—low lighting, warm tones, and just enough old-world charm to feel like a quiet escape from the everyday.
The service was flawless: attentive without hovering, informed without being rehearsed. Every course felt like it had its own story. The interplay of flavors and textures was nothing short of sublime—each bite perfectly balanced and thoughtfully composed. Truly a chef’s kiss moment from start to finish.
But let me tell you—do not skip dessert. The in-house patisserie staff clearly doesn’t mess around. Every confection was a work of art, crafted with flair and finesse that left us speechless (and borderline licking the plate).
The Fig Tree isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience, and one we won’t soon forget. Highly recommend for anniversaries, date nights, or whenever you want to feel a little spoiled.
We began with the escargot, and calling it delicious is just the start; it had flavor from the first bite to the last. The sauce was fantastic, and Justine mentioned you’d want more bread just to finish the sauce — and we did.
I had the lamb loin, which was perfectly cooked, and the polenta cakes were tasty.
My wife chose the sea bass, which started well, but once she reached the middle, it went downhill. It was raw and couldn’t even be cut with a knife. Another waiter took it to the back, and you’d think they would cook a new one, since she only took two bites. But no, they reheated it, and we’re pretty sure they microwaved it, as there was steam coming off the filet, and the mashed potatoes looked the same as what she had eaten. The fish was just placed on top of the plate and was nowhere near the quality of the original presentation.
She did enjoy the mocktail mule — it was light and refreshing. I had the tequila old fashion, but unless you like tequila, I’d pass (thought I’d try something new). Big mistake.
The lemon crème brûlée was okay but did not live up to the hype.
Parking can be difficult if it’s busy, and they are only open for dinner.
If it weren’t for the bad sea bass experience, I could easily rate this as a four-star restaurant. But for that price, no one should be served microwave-reheated food.
