My wife and I dined here last night to celebrate her birthday. Our server was Michael. He was professional, prompt, attentive, and personable while providing an excellent experience! We shared the Lobster Cake appetizer, Elk Chop, and Beignets for dessert. With every bite of the meal we would look at each other and say “Wow”. The wine recommended by our waiter was not expensive and was excellent. I would highly recommend The Fig Tree
