| - I went to Flying Fig twice this weekend. Once for happy hour/dinner on Friday, and again on Sunday for brunch. The restaurant itself is very warm and inviting. Both visits we had a seat near the bar and found the booths to be very comfortable and good for people watching. Friday night we had a happy hour hamburger which is delicious and a steal at $5. We also got the two-cheese sandwich. This was simply one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. It consisted of very good quality, slightly aged cheese with walnuts, pickled zucchini, figs, and arugula on excellent focaccia. Simply delicious. The cocktails we got were excellent also, including a gin gimlet and a house concoction of St. Germain, gin, citrus, and soda.
Sunday brunch was more of the same. We tried the huevos rancheros and the polenta with deep fried egg and mushrooms. Both were excellent. The price is a bit steep for brunch, but the quality more than justifies it. We had the same waiter both trips, and the service was excellent and affably understated.
