Great night! This place is quite pricey so come ready for that, but it is an experience. Great service, wonderful atmosphere, and nice bathrooms!
We recently celebrated our wedding at the Fig Tree - we rented out the bottom floor of the restaurant for our ~40 guests. Jane and the team were great to work with. They put together an event menu with us, and were more than happy to create custom options not typically on their menu, such as a chicken dish, lava cakes, and a wedding cake. We had looked at other restaurants with private event spaces in Charlotte, and they were all very unwilling to modify the set menu choices - we really we appreciated the flexibility at the Fig Tree! We used the outdoor patio area for cocktail hour and then came inside for a cozy candle-lit dinner, which SO delicious. The service was also excellent, as always. Thank you Fig Tree!
Came here to celebrate our anniversary. The restaurant is located inside a historic and charming house. The wait staff were courteous and professional. We had the Seared Foie Gras and Escargot as starters. The foie gras were velvety and smooth. It was paired with the sweetness of apple and cherry. Escargot normally comes swimming in butter. Their dish comes in a creamy gorgonzola and paired with mushroom. The cream tasted surprisingly light. For main courses, we chose the Sea Bass and Elk Chop. The sea bass was perfectly cooked and paired nicely with the sweet corn. The prosciutto add another dimension to the dish. We actually thought the few small pieces of lobster were a distraction and probably not needed. NOTE: we just spent a week in Maine last month and therefore are biased on how lobster tastes. The Elk Chop was delicious. Elk is leaner than beef but the chop was perfectly cooked to medium and not though to eat at all. The Spätzle was also a surprising side-kick of the dish and complemented the elk nicely. The desserts also did not disappoint. We had the Beignets and the Chocolate-Peanut Butter Entremet. We probably should have shared a single dessert as they are rather generous portion wise. Overall, a memorable dinner.
We came here to celebrate our anniversary and had a wonderful experience. The service was great. They had numerous options on the menu that sounded great. My partner had the Chilean Sea Bass and I had the veal. Both were incredible. They have an expansive wine list and a decent selection of cocktails. For desert my partner had the cheesecake and I had the peanut butter entremet. Both were mouthwatering. If you’re celebrating a special occasion and are looking for a nice dinner I recommend making a reservation here.
Fig Tree was absolutely incredible and the delicious filet mignon steak was the best. Our waiter Justin did an amazing job making sure, me and my wife enjoyed a romantic Saturday date night drinking lemon drops and eating tasty food! We recommend to everyone! Enjoy!
An old foodie couple who goes out to try new restaurants every week told me that their favorite restaurant is Fig Tree without hesitation. The first time I tried it, it instantly became our favorite too.
I can't say enough about this restaurant. It's a great place to have a quiet meal. Atmosphere is very romantic. Wine list, appetizers, main courses, dessert and more! I hope I am able to go again. Thank you for making my birthday so special!!!
If you’re looking for the ultimate romantic dining experience in Charlotte, The Fig Tree delivers in spades. From the moment we walked in, the intimate ambiance set the tone—low lighting, warm tones, and just enough old-world charm to feel like a quiet escape from the everyday.
First of all, thank you so much to the Fig Tree staff for considering my special request. It was so random but I really appreciate the fact that they carried it out. The food was amazing and the portion sizes were great. They were definitely worthy of their prices. Overall, it was a really good experience. Can’t wait to come back again!
The Caesar Salad was crisp and fresh, with homemade Caesar dressing with real anchovies! The fresh focaccia bread came with garlic spread, we enjoyed amazing wines, my wife’s Filet Mignon was perfectly cooked, as was my Elk Chop, and the Crème Brûlée was delicious.
