"The Fig Tree is tucked inside a Craftsman-style bungalow in the charming Elizabeth neighborhood, and stepping inside feels like visiting a friend's home. The food, though, pushes boundaries. The appetizers are daring (fried oysters with poblano-'nduja chutney, chorizo-stuffed calamari) while entrees definitely lean elegant and decadent (Stilton- and duxelles-topped filet mignon). This is the place to order outside of your comfort zone—you know that elk over horseradish spaetzle is calling your name." - Nancy DePalma
