  • Everyone is entitled to there opinion but I can't see how anyone could be displeased with this restaurant (as another reviewer has suggested). Sure, every establishment can have an "off night" but I find it hard to believe The Fig Tree is such a place. In fact, by this review I am hoping to help spread the word about this hidden gem in Charlotte. We went on a Tuesday night - probably their slowest night of the week - but we were still treated to what I would describe as art on a plate. The restaurant was decorated for the Christmas Holiday and the gas fireplace was lit. In other words, the mood was set. The heavy copper-bound menus were succinct but descriptive. We started with the lobster hushpuppy appetizer (which we were told has never been off the menu since the beginning) and they were delicious. More like a conch fritter than a hushpuppy but a perfect start. My wife ordered the seared scallops and I order their popular Osso Bucco. My wife rarely finishes everything, but she absolutely cleaned her plate on this visit. The scallops were tender, mild with just enough sauce. Coupled with truffle mashed potatoes she said it was one of the best meals she had ever had. My Osso Bucco was delicious as well. It was cooked and accompanied by foods that spoke more of "Pot Roast" than the traditional Italian method, but that's a good thing. On a cold night it was perfect. The shank was fork tender and I later quipped to the waiter that I didn't need the steak knife he placed in front of me - it just fell off the bone. It was accompanied with Spinach Speatzle which was a nice compliment to the gravy it floated in. The evening was topped off with a seasonal Gingerbread Bread Pudding that was incredible. I asked for the recipe and gave them my email address. My fingers are crossed I receive it.
