Fig Tree Rocks  5 Star Rating - World class

Had dinner there tonight, best restaurant in Charlotte, NC. For sure best service, has onsite pastry chef making some of if not the best deserts in the entire city of charlotte and for sure the most unique. And only a limited number of tables this is wonderful because that means that you get the very personalized service you are looking for. The seafood dishes were very good. I have to say that the pricing on this establishment is really about right, Im not sure why some of the other review say it is expensive perhaps they ordered something that was exotic. Anyway my husband and I love it.

Fabulous Place to Dine!  5 Star Rating - World class

Fig Tree is probably one of the best restaurants within Charlotte. Food and service were excellent, couldn't ask for better. Food was fresh and tasty. Prices are high, but for the quality it was well worth the cost.

Excellent place for those special occasions  5 Star Rating - World class

The first thing that struck me about the Fig Tree Restaurant was the ambiance of the restaurant - which is really a lovely old home. So much character to add to the evening. The dining menu is very good with lots of options and the wine pairings were excellent. Very charming all the way around and a great way to celebrate a special occasion.

Great place! 5 Star Rating - World class

We were visiting Charlotte for a concert and were so happy that we stumbled across the fig tree. We were looking for a nice place to have dinner outside. Their cozy front porch was the perfect spot. The wine list, food and service were all outstanding and we will definitely return.

Pros: wonderful front porch dining, fantastic wine list including great by the glass selections
Cons: none noted

Love the food! 4 Star Rating - Very good

Me and my boyfriend ate there this past weekend and the food was fantastic. I loved the lay out of a old house turned into a fine dining resturant. Everyone was very nice but our waiter was to overbearing. Who doesn't like great sevice but who wants your waiter to be apart of your evening together? The resturant was very warm inside also. I know its fall and we have chilly nights but if its 60 degrees outside why must the heat be on 80? That made it very hard to enjoy our dinner. We asked for our food to go so we could enjoy it at home alone. If you're looking for a romantic place to go eat, don't eat at the Fig Tree unless you want your waiter there with you!

Pros: Great food and wine list
Cons: To hot to enjoy dinner and wasn't crowded. Overbearing wait staff

Restaurant review 5 Star Rating - World class

This past week my husband and I had the opportunity of dining at the Fig Tree Restaurant of Charlotte. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The greeting of the hostess who efficiently directed us to our table was genuine and we felt we were in capable hands. The room reflected the beauty of an older home with the comfort of a fireplace nearby and the warmth of wood paneling as a compliment to the tastefully decorated rooms.. The service was very efficient and the servers were attentive to our every need. The food was tastefully prepared, artistically presented and the portion size was just right. All in all, we had a wonderful evening and look forward to dining there again.

Pros: Ambience, Service, Portion size, Environment

Best Restaurant in Charlotte!! 5 Star Rating - World class

From the warm and cozy ambiance to the fine tuned service you will, also, enjoy gourmet cooking at its best!! I have dined at many restaurants throughout Charlotte, and was pleased to finally find a gem like this. Everything we ate was top-notch. The lamb chops were the best I have ever had. Save room for dessert- you'll love the bread pudding.

Pros: Great food, service, ambiance
Cons: nothing!:)

Overpriced trap... 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

The decor is pleasant enough and the service is friendly and you might even enjoy the food if your palate isn't very sophisticated and if you have great memories from the food they were serving to you at school, but, if you are looking for a reasonable quality/price ratio, this is the wrong place.

You'll end up spending about $100 per person, including a couple of drinks, an appetizer and dessert for mediocre food. There are many much better options elsewhere.

Cons: Very, very, very
