Fodor's Expert Review Fig Tree Restaurant
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Exquisite food and impeccable service are mainstays of this French-inspired restaurant with a cozy interior and an outdoor villa-style terrace overlooking the San Antonio River. Crisp linens drape tables set with fine china and sparkling crystal in elegant yet homey surroundings. Delicate, highly composed dishes such as tournedos Rossini (seared beef fillets wrapped around foie gras and truffles), mint-crusted rack of lamb, and prosciutto-wrapped yellowfin tuna are menu standouts. Tableside flamed desserts include bananas Foster and traditional baked Alaska.
