Since I have not been in Charlotte long, it was difficult for me to decide on where to spend a really important anniversary. I researched restaurants and consistently saw great reviews about The Fig Tree. I decided to take my chances and let The Fig Tree serve us for this important event.
Curt was our waiter for the evening and he did not disappoint. His table-side manner was thoughtful, relaxed and attentive and he made great recommendations based on our culinary limitations. He even went out of his way to provide me with some suggestions for tours in Asheville, which he wrote down, when we got into a discussion about it. He's a total professional and the restaurant industry is lucky to have him.
The food was delicious. The presentation and combinations were creative and the thing that made it special was that it was not something I could just make at home or something I would have ordered at any other Charlotte restaurant. The menu had unique offerings and each was well thought out and delivered upon. The portions were satisfying which thrilled my husband.
The location is simple and elegant. It is not overstated but instead provides a cozy and semi-private and very personal dining experience. I look forward to making The Fig Tree a part of our Charlotte tradition for years to come.
