Endless Cravings

The Girl and the Fig, Sonoma, CA

The Girl & the Fig is one of those places that I desperately wanted to love but can’t.

The drinks, the appetizers, the bread, the dessert… all excellent. Service was impeccable. Ambiance was warm and very inviting. It was such a lovely restaurant that I feel sad not able to give it a better review.

What went wrong, you asked? Two entrees. One is the pork shoulder on the a la carte menu. Meat was tough. Sauce was way too salty. The other one is the grilled lamb on their plat du jour menu. The meat was very stingy and chewy. It wasn’t overcooked so most likely something went wrong with the cut.

I really wish it was just an occasional slip up. Maybe I would return another time to see if I have better luck.

The cocktails were great and I can’t believe how reasonably priced their wine paring was. I guess it is the wine country after all.
