    We celebrated our 21st anniversary with dinner at The Fig Tree and had a fantastic time all around. Our server was supremely attentive and knowledgeable and recommended just the right wine to accompany our meal. They also split our two entrees (the Elk Chop and Sea Bass) evenly on our plates which was a nice touch. We also had the scallop appetizer which was outstanding. Our only complaint is that we ate too much of their amazing foccaccia and couldn't quite finish our main meals!
