the girl & the fig - Sonoma

“My partner and I stopped in for lunch. Our server was fantastic and attentive. We started with the grilled halloumi which was surrounded by a delicious pesto and corn custard. The sweetness from the custard, the salty from the halloumi and the herby flavours from the pesto blended so well together. The morel mushroom tartine was essentially an elevated mushroom toast which was the perfect portion for lunch. The crispy pork sandwich blended sweet and savoury flavours for the perfect mix. The inside of the restaurant has a nice vibe with lots of cool local art.”

“One of the best dinning experiences in recent memory. Every aspect was perfect. Each dish was so flavorful and the service was so friendly. Our waiter made our friend who was celebrating a milestone feel so special and another friend with celiac felt really reassured by the knowledgeable explanations. A really wonderful start to our winery weekend. 100% recommended!!”

“I ordered the pork sandwich and potato puree. It was the best pork sandwich I’ve ever had. This restaurant has mastered flavor combinations. We were a party of 9, had great service, and everyone raved about the food they ate. Not a single complaint! If you’re looking for somewhere with a cute vibe and amazing food, this is the place to go!”

“First of all shout out to our waiter Noah for a level of service we haven’t experienced for a while. He was anticipatory instead of reactive. It added an extra level of pleasure for our evening. The food was well above our expectations. My partner had the chicken thigh (not pictured) that was perfectly cooked and seasoned, while my pork schnitzel was flavorful, perfectly juicy, and so huge 😆 the salad was less impressive but only in comparison to the amazing main course. The duck liver is rich but the fig jam perfectly balances it out. Noah also brought us more bread chips without being asked. I also received a card and a delicious warm cookie for my birthday (which I didn’t realize I mentioned during reservation). The atmosphere was very casual. The noise level was acceptable. There are… unique paintings all over the walls for sale that I can’t help but find a bit detracting. Overall this was such a great meal. Good service good food. I’d recommend this place to everyone!”

“We came here on a Friday night to kick off my birthday weekend and it could not have been a better choice. We sat on the enclosed heated patio and it was so tastefully decorated that it honestly made me feel like I was in Paris. Cozy, romantic, and just the right vibe for a special night. Our waiter greeted us warmly right away and made us feel genuinely welcome. We started with cocktails, the Fig and the Plane and the Fig Fashioned. Both were strong and stiff in the best way and really well made. We ordered the steak tartare to start. It was good but not the standout of the night. The real stars were the entrées. Our waiter highly recommended the flounder and it absolutely delivered. I ordered the steak au poivre and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Overall, it was a perfect meal and the perfect start to a beautiful birthday weekend with my beautiful family. I would happily come back again.”
