There were a lot of really great reviews for the Fig Tree, so I went in with expectations of a nice meal with good ambiance. Make sure to read the lower star reviews too. The service was 50/50. Half the time appropriate, half the time inappropriate. Our mains came out before the appetizer, which our server had just forgotten. It happens. The team worked together to ensure all guests were served, so that's a plus. The wine was the best part of the meal between two entrees and a dessert. The waitress fished when I didn't want a box. It just wasn't good enough to take home risotto that resembled boiled rice more than risotto. The medium rare ostrich was medium well. The deserts change constantly, but the ice cream was pretty good.

We ate outside and there is plenty of seating. The food was fantastic, I had the veal chop. The service just as good. We had 2 deserts and they were both delicious. It is an expensive restaurant, and worth every penny. Can't wait to go back.

This was my first visit and decided to take my mom to give it a try. From the very nice hostess to the waitstaff, I was so impressed. Our waiter Bryant was outstanding. He was so friendly and helpful to get recommendations for our entree and even gave us a little thank you note with the bill. He recommended a perfect wine to pair with my Sea bass and my mom had the veal chop, which was delicious! My mom had the escargot which was the best! The sauce outstanding! Next time I go back I'll be ordering that. We sat upstairs, do if you make a reservation, request that. It was quiet and felt homey. I can't believe I've lived in Charlotte all this time and never knew about this restaurant! Definitely 5 star.

Fabulous. Excellent wait staff. Delightful menu with a great assortment of dishes. We chose 3 different appetizers, soup, then dessert. Good wine. Pleasant outdoor dining in a residential area. Thoroughly enjoyed this dining experience!
