Really what sets this place apart is the atmosphere in the place and the service, the quality food and incredible wine list don't hurt either. We've been in Charlotte a couple of years now, but have never really made it up to the 'Elizabeth' neighborhood, but it's a really nice especially in spring, flowers in bloom, and not an empty seat on the patio because of great weather. The Fig Tree is tucked into what looks like just a neighborhood home, and that's how you feel when you come in - Like a friend visiting a neighbor. When we arrived for a later dinner (8:30 reservation) the patio was entirely full, and a few large tables were set up indoors. The extensive wine list was nice to see and gave a million options. Dinner was equally delicious, they were still in their 'winter' menu consisting of lots of creamy dishes as our waiter Jay informed us - And that the menu changes upon the season and what they can get locally sourced. We had Carpaccio as an App, the Mrs. went with Pappardelle and I had the Halibut and Maine Lobster. All were awesome. Great experience and we'll be back soon.
