About The Fig Tree Restaurant
A lamp-lit porch, a garden patio under red umbrellas and small dining rooms inside the old house give the place a quiet, domestic intimacy that suits anniversaries and birthdays, which is what most recent reviewers were celebrating. The kitchen cooks polished Continental plates: the elk has a following, alongside rack of lamb, seared duck breast, scallops and seasonal soups such as acorn squash with poblano, and a chocolate layer cake is the dessert people remember. The wine list is long and a sommelier is on hand to steer it. Service is consistently described as attentive and well paced. Google rates it 4.7 from 1,152 reviews. Dinner is served nightly, from 5:30pm on weekdays and 5pm at weekends. Prices sit at the upper end for the city. Dress smart; some guests drive in from as far as Raleigh for occasion dinners.
