| - Aaaaaand we're back!
I can't tell you how excited I was for Flying Fig to be a Yelp Eats 2011 participant--mostly because it's been way too long since I've been back to indulge. I think it's truly safe to say that this place cannot disappoint me.
The items on the discounted menu were truly generous and looked divine and that drink menu... it gets me every time. I'm not one for sweet cocktails, but when you have a properly-made flight 77 for me to pour down my throat, you have a happy blonde. But then you add in some Ohio rhubarb syrup? Wow. Help my life.
After a bev or two, we were finally ready to dive into Yelp Eats. I ordered some of these famous tempura green beans for the table to share. Simple, yet delicious. I passed on the pineapple-y sweet dipping sauce, but the other was salty perfection with these crunchy green guys. Yum. As we nibbled and grazed on bread and beans, the server took our drink and food orders, not missing a beat and actually stopping to chat. How refreshing! I love it when the staff is friendly enough to engage with their guests. I'd pass on the snooty, overly-proper-types any day.
Then came the food. Most everyone in our party ordered the glazed pork loin and absolutely loved it--as in, 100% clean plates. I was a little jealous as I saw them slice into the tender pieces of perfectly cooked deliciousness. Another one of our party ordered the burger, which was no ordinary burger. In fact, after eating every-single-thing off his plate (including fresh fries and a huge, juicy burger piled high with chihuahua cheese and onion rings), he exclaimed, "best burger of my life." Then, well, that left me with the most delicious striped bass ever. Tender, a little flaky, seasoned and seared perfectly. Another clean plate without that overly-stuffed feeling.
Once again, a gorgeous experience, Flying Fig. Thanks for hosting!
