the girl & the fig

Frommer's Review

Chris Jones orchestrates the French-influenced nouveau country cuisine at this well-loved restaurant owned by Sondra Bernstein. She would be the girl and, yes, figs are sure to be on the menu in one form or another. The wonderful winter fig salad contains arugula, pecans, dried figs, Laura Chenel goat cheese, and fig-and-port vinaigrette. Murray uses garden-fresh produce and local meats, poultry, and fish whenever possible, in dishes such as grilled pork chops or duck confit. For dessert, try lavender crème brûlée, a glass of Jaboulet muscat, and a sliver of raclette from the cheese list. Sondra knows her wines, features Rhone varietals, and will be happy to choose the best accompaniment for your meal. Sunday brunch, until 3pm, is worthwhile.
