"Went to the girl & the fig for dinner with my family. Immediately got seated and taken care of. What made our experience here 5 starts were truly the kindness and hospitality of the staff. One of the entrees came in very late but the manager was very understanding and kind and fixed the issue in no time. On top of that, the food was excellent, especially the fish. The desserts were delicious - crème brûlée was the favorite! Highly recommend coming here if you’re in downtown Sonoma."

"We came here on a Friday night to kick off my birthday weekend and it could not have been a better choice. We sat on the enclosed heated patio and it was so tastefully decorated that it honestly made me feel like I was in Paris. Cozy, romantic, and just the right vibe for a special night. Our waiter greeted us warmly right away and made us feel genuinely welcome. We started with cocktails, the Fig and the Plane and the Fig Fashioned. Both were strong and stiff in the best way and really well made. We ordered the steak tartare to start. It was good but not the standout of the night. The real stars were the entrées. Our waiter highly recommended the flounder and it absolutely delivered. I ordered the steak au poivre and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Overall, it was a perfect meal and the perfect start to a beautiful birthday weekend with my beautiful family. I would happily come back again."

"This restaurant is conveniently located near Sonoma Plaza, and parking was relatively easy to find. We ordered the fig and arugula salad, duck confit, and wild flounder meunière, and all three dishes were excellent. The duck confit and flounder were especially tender and full of flavor. After a full day of wine tasting, we didn’t have room to try the cocktails or desserts—but that just gives us a reason to come back next time. The service and restaurant ambiance were also good. Our waitress was attentive and checked in with us regularly. One small but disappointing surprise was a so-called “staff fee” of $3.92 listed on the final check. There was no explanation provided, and I chose not to ask at the time so as not to spoil an otherwise pleasant experience. Still, it was not a welcome surprise."

"Stopped in for a quick bite before wine tasting. This place was great. Service was excellent and the food was top tier. The white fish with caviar and beef tartare definitely hit the spot. Ordered to French Bloody Mary which had a hint of licorice which was a please change of pace. Definitely recommend."

"My group and I had an absolutely wonderful and truly memorable experience dining at The Girl & The Fig recently! From the moment we walked in, the setting captivated us. The atmosphere was great; it's charming, cozy, inviting, and simply perfect for a relaxing dinner. The rustic yet elegant French-countryside decor immediately sets a delightful tone, making it feel like a true escape from the everyday hustle. The lighting was soft, and the overall vibe contributed immensely to a special night out. We began our meal on a high note by ordering the puréed potato soup. Given that it was a cool night, this dish seriously hit the spot. It was beyond comforting, rich, velvety, and incredibly creamy without being heavy. The depth of flavor was surprising for such a seemingly simple soup. It was the ideal starter to warm us up. For the main courses, we sampled a couple of their excellent offerings. The chicken thighs were outstanding. They were perfectly cooked, incredibly tender seasoned beautifully, and the meat was incredibly succulent. It's easy for chicken to be unremarkable, but this was a dish to remember. One of our companions chose the turkey panini special, and they raved about it, calling it delicious and perfectly constructed with high-quality ingredients and a lovely side. A standout element that often gets overlooked was the simple but impeccable artisan bread served to the table. We all agreed it was fantastic; a crusty exterior giving way to a soft, flavorful interior, perfect for soaking up every last bit of flavor from our plates. The quality of the ingredients, even in the simplest offerings, shone through. The service staff were attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and struck that perfect balance of being present without hovering. Overall, it was a truly memorable evening defined by excellent food and a lovely setting. The Girl & The Fig is more than just a restaurant; it’s a wonderful dining destination that gets everything right. We left already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!"
