    I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant. The lamb shank over mash was delicious. We spent 3 delightful hours with our granddaughter. Service was smooth and the pacing of our meal was exactly the way it ought to be. Kudos to all staff who made our evening special.

    A jewel!!!! We haven’t been to the Wild Fig for years and left there last night wondering why we hadn’t. It was a lovely evening, great ambience, excellent food, awesome waiter and ( unlike must restaurants) the acoustics were outstanding and we could all converse without any one of the 8 of us having to ask the other to repeat themselves. We will be going there again.

    It was a great dining experience. Never had crocodile carpaccio before, but loved it. The Kudu medallions were super soft and very tasty. My husband enjoyed the Miso soup and duck. This chef knows his stuff.
