The Fig Tree Restaurant is a charming establishment set in a beautifully restored old house. The atmosphere is calm and quiet, making it an ideal spot for a date night. The restaurant serves excellent food, with dishes such as scallops on orzo, red snapper, grilled octopus, sea bass, veal chops, and filet all receiving high praise. The service is also exceptional, with attentive staff and a wide selection of wines and cocktails.
Diners can enjoy appetizers like escargot, which is full of flavor and served with a fantastic sauce. The restaurant also offers interesting cocktails, such as a mocktail mule and tequila old fashion. The overall experience emphasizes fine dining and a relaxed atmosphere, making it a great place for special occasions or a quiet dinner.
The menu includes a large wine selection and 8-9 entree options along with specials. Customers have praised the lobster cakes, broccoli soup, and Caesar salad with anchovies. The beignets with house-made coffee ice cream are a popular dessert, and the restaurant is known for its excellent cocktails, including the best cosmos and Long Island iced tea in Charlotte.
Despite occasional issues with certain dishes, such as the sea bass, the restaurant remains highly recommended for its consistently great food and service. The Fig Tree is considered the best dining experience in the Charlotte area.
