| - I had a great experience at this restaurant (especially since my friend paid for me!) but there are a few reasons I give this place a 4 instead of a 5:
Food:
- Market at the Fig Cheese Plate: I suppose we should have looked at the description more carefully, but I wasn't too happy that we only got 2 types of cheese on "cheese plate." They were good, but I wished it was more.
- Roasted Local Winter Squash: The food is served inside the squash. Absolutely delicious, filling, and pleasing to the eye.
- House special of some white fish or other: Excellent meal. The wild rice was excellent, the fish cooked to perfection, and a little bit of grapefruit chutney added to the dish, done tastefully.
- Cheesecake: It was interesting. It had a different texture compared to the traditional cheesecake. My friend and I both thought it was good, but not great.
- Cocktails: We got the chaitini and the pear martini. I thought they were both great. The chaitini tasted like chai tea. I thought I would like it better than I actually did, which is no fault of the restaurant's. The pear martini, I thought was amazing!!!
Atmosphere:
I liked the fact that the huge space was divided into rooms to subdue the noise level a little bit. It was still a little noisy for me, but I guess some people like that.
Service:
Our waitor was very attentive and came by often. (I'm actually not a big fan of the waitor stopping by too often and asking every time we get something whether it's good.) We got everything we asked for, our water glasses were always filled promptly, and we got our check when we wanted it.
In summary, we didn't love everything on the menu and other patrons were loud, but this is a solid restaurant and I will definitely go back for more.
