| - My husband and I came here for our anniversary dinner after hearing rave reviews, and this restaurant certainly lived up to its name!
We had reservations, which I highly suggest making, even for a Sunday, just to be on the safe side. We started with the scallop appetizer, which I highly recommend. There were two scallops and they were absolutely delicious! The crust on top, paired with the sweet potato/potato concoction was melt in your mouth phenomenal and I wish I had 10 of them. For the entree, my husband when with the elk. He loved it, and said medium rare was the perfect temperature. The sides, he said, weren't matching the caliber of the elk, with the spaetzle taking like straight smoke. I ordered the grouper with lobster, and the grouper was clearly fresh and prepared beautifully. I also loved the black rice it was served with, both in taste and color contrast to the white grouper and lobster.
We passed on their desserts, even though they sounded amazing, as we had some frozen wedding cake for our one year anniversary. The servers provided us with two small truffles, that tasted like fall heaven. They even wrote happy anniversary on our plate in chocolate. It's the touches like that that make the fig tree the place that it is. I highly recommend it for a special occasion.
