Flying Fig was very close to being empty on a Saturday night. Which makes me so sad because it's such a cute place and I'm pretty sure it was the best meal I've had in a really long time!
Everything about our meal was perfect - the drinks came quickly and were really great. Anyone who knows how to properly mix St. Germain gets points with me! Our appetizers were fresh and delicious - the dates (of course!) and a very summery fried squash.
But I've come to Flying Fig other times and left slightly disappointed in my entrees and wished I had only ordered small plates. Well, not this time. I had a beef cheek rigatoni that was out-of-this-world good. I was too busy devouring my rigatoni to even ask how the husband's hangar steak was, and by the time I'd looked up to ask if I could try it, it was gone. I guess he really liked his, too.
We ordered an apple dessert (I hate apple desserts, I just wanted the ice cream!) and mannnn, was it good ice cream. I wanted to buy it by the gallon and keep it in my freezer at all times. And I don't normally get that excited over vanilla.
Overall, it was a perfect (but definitely pricey) meal and I hope the next time I go back it is just as lovely and delicious.
