text: We had a fantastic meal at The Fig Tree this past weekend. Nicole was our sever and she was extremely knowledgable about the menu and offered great suggestions in terms of wine pairing. She's been there for seven years and really knows her stuff. We started with warm bread which was served with whipped butter and a garlic spread. Word to wise- go easy on the garlic. It's potent. Then we shared the scallop appetizer and the foie gras- both were very good. I started with a Pinot Noir and she had a Pinot Gris. We loved the spinach salad with the quail egg and bacon and maple vinaigrette. We added the goat cheese, because you know, it's goat cheese. What shouldn't it be on? She had the filet- huge, super rare, awesome. I had the duck. Loved the duck, but wished for more sweet potato and fewer beans. I stuck with my Pinot and my wife ended up with a great Grenache which was the best of the evening and surprisingly inexpensive. For dessert we shared the flourless chocolate cake. Rich. Dark. Just right. In all, we had a great evening and will definitely return. Tip: sitting upstairs puts you close to the restaurant's only restroom. The down side? Steps. Lots of them.
