Scott Reviews Review of Fig Bistro

Outstanding! 5 stars is not enough. I will have to start by congratulating an exemplary staff... all of them. We were inspired by the genuine interaction with the employees here. I would visit again just for the conversation. The kitchen even returned smiles and even under the pressure of a full house and one very large party, they performed like a very well tuned machine.
The atmosphere here is quite intimate. It is a small space with limited seating. I would recommend making reservations in order to ensure that you get the opportunity to enjoy this gem in the Biltmore Village.
They have a great wine and cocktail selection as well as locally crafted beers.
The food was decadent. Every aspect of each of the dishes we ordered was perfection. I ordered an uncommon delicacy, sweet breads, with my fingers crossed: 1) Because it is an ingredient many are apprehensive about. 2) Because it is extremely rare for it to be prepared properly. 3) Because my wife was trying it for the first time. Many thanks to the local, distinguished gentleman seated beside us who reassured me that the sweet breads were as good as those he has had in France. Note: the sweet breads were a special appetizer so please don't expect them to be on the menu. I just thought it prudent to say that if they can pull off sweet breads this well; it speaks to the skills of the kitchen. Out entrees were equally as exceptional. The scallops were hard seared on one side and this delivered an exquisite crust and a perfectly cooked body... best scallops ever. The pork tenderloin was recommended by a local shop owner and it was melt in your mouth delicious.
This short essay doesn't do justice to the quality of food and service we had at Fig. You will just have to experience it for yourself.
