Simply can’t beat this deal. Food was great and so was the service. My wife and I have been twice and each the the service was excellent. I’ve told friends and family about their Groupon deal and they jumped on it. I’m now a spokesman. Looking forward to the next time to try something different even though the steak was so good.

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

Staff was great. Truly great. The rooms are a little loud when multiple tables are set. The outside area looked very nice. The appetizers and salads were extremely good. We ordered the shrimp and grits and the burger with fries. The shrimp and grits were OK at best. We only ate half of the burgers. The fries were on point.
