What People Are Saying About Fig Tree Restaurant

In Short – Located in a bustling part of the Riverwalk, this relaxing restaurant manages to avoid commercial traps prone to the neighborhood. The dining area is split between a Victorian-style interior and a multilevel villa-style outdoor terrace. The menu is made up of an impressive array of delicate, highly composed dishes. Decadent starters include escargots, foie gras and caviar. The lobster bisque is rich, sweet and subtle. Classic entrees range from a selection of prime streaks to sea bass.

so poorly run for so expsensive "local" owners are absentee go to Biga's
by caesarsda
Stay away save your money. Even though we had reservation and restaurant was empty on a Saturday (should have been our first clue) the maitre?d sat us in a horrible place telling us that they would be filling up. It was 8:15 and no dinner customers came in after us. He failed to give us menus which we waited for, for 15 minutes. We order a nice bottle of wine and were brought the incorrect vintage waited another 10 minutes then offer a substitute year by a friendly albeit inexperienced wine steward. Food was adequate but evening ruined our tab for two was over $400 and still service levels were barely one star from the host. Easy to see why this place was empty and our meal at Biga on the Banks on Friday was half the cost and twice the value. Owners better take a close look at operations here. Certainly would never consider for one of our groups or special occasion. What a shame a pretty little place that stakes its reputation on local ownership but has none I even tried calling to get the owners name and no one would give that out . Not sure what they are hiding.
- Pros: pretty setting
- Cons: adequate food can't over come poor service and operation too much money for so little maybe was once good no longer

The best part was the view... which says a lot about the food!
by gibubba
The view from the patio was wonderful, and the atmosphere outside was lovely, but the food was remarkably average, and the service left a lot to be desired, both of which were disappointing considering the prices. There are much better restaurants in San Antonio in this price range.
- Pros: View and ambience
- Cons: Food and service

Be careful with your credit card
by martymmartin
Be sure to check with your credit card company, the server changed the amount of my tip without asking. The receipt at the restaurant shows what I authorized but the amount at the credit card company was about $29 more. Therefore, it was fraud. Use cash if you dare go there.
- Pros: Food was OK
- Cons: When busy, service is poor
