My goto dinner spot in Sonoma…read more I actually have been here multiple times and I don't know what has taken me so long to post a review but the Girl and the Fig is definitely the truth. When you enter you'll notice a more homey decor to the place. Warm colors all around and even warmer service once you sit down. Every single experience Ive had here is been nothing less of 110%. Theres always this good balance professionalism with lightheartedness that pair so well for the atmosphere. Because at its core this restaurant is high scale. It definitely has that higher scale vibe but if never comes off as pretentious though. This particular I took my wifey here for our 10th year anniversary together. And we were greeting by a nice little card from the "Fig Family." We ended up trying the Seared Halloumi and I was shocked at how much I liked it. Very light flavors but still enough variety with the crispy spigarello and pine nuts to keep things fun. The lemon never feels too overwhelming. For mains my wife got the Mushroom RisottoI think? Or maybe it was Butternut Squash Risotto? I got the Fig Burger and both were amazing. The only reason I didn't get her Risotto was simply because I already had it at lunch time, but that still didn't stop me from taking a bite. Each rice like grain had a perfect chew and flavor to each bite. Even being the picky person that I am with veggies, I appreciated the veggies addition to the dish. I still think though that the sure winner was my Fig Burger. This burger is everything we wish our local breweries burger was. A harmonic balance between salty and sweet. Im down to get a little crazy with burgers but if it's too sweet, it kinda loses the appeal for me. It takes away too much from the burgers roots. So yea. Go here. Make reservations too. I know for myself I made mine about a month in advance so it's hard to say how hard it is to get a table here. But hopefully it's not too bad. Parking by the way is just street parking. Despite that Ive always been able to get a park on W Spain St right before I pull up to the restaurant. OH! And thanks again Girl and the Fig family! You made the end to our anniversary quite magical!

Not that I have many of those but I imagine this is what it would look like. The food and service were excellent. Our waiter Kevin was so friendly and easy to talk to. The French onion soup was different from the usual burnt top-heavy soup that you usually get, and on the contrary, was very light and yet flavorful. The chicken entree and beet salad were great, too. The only item that was just OK was the creme brulee. My expectations had gotten too high by the time we got to dessert. The musician playing the guitar was a great touch and added to a charming ambience. I will be back for sure.

For dinner on Mom's birthday on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, Mom wanted to have duck à l'orange…read more Seeing that Campagne One Main's menu offered her coveted dish, the genteel restaurant reeled her in. Nestled within the Enchanté Boutique Hotel, the charming bistro's visual appeal is enhanced by its quaint dining room with a period French fireplace, limestone floors, re-polished antiques, and designer selected Napoléon treasures, complemented with their outdoor patio for al fresco dining with gas lamps and a fountain. We enjoyed the lovely setting, seated at a table adjacent to the cozy fireplace on that cold, rainy night. Campagne One Main's menu features classic dishes and contemporary takes on traditional favourites like Ratatouille, offering a delightful culinary experience that captures the essence of French cuisine. Serving thoughtfully arranged dishes with highlights such as the delectable Confit de Canard and mouth-watering Filet Mignon, a visit promises an enchanting tasting journey through sophisticated French gastronomy. Below are what we ordered for dinner: French Onion Soup (cup $10, Bowl $16) - Mom and the boys found the soup to be very good. I, on the other hand, felt that the broth could have had much more time to simmer to allow the broth to mature into a more robust flavour and to tenderize further the slivers of onion. Confit de Canard ($42) - This is the dish that Mom came for, substituting the Mashed Potatoes for Green Beans. When initially served, the Mushrooms were missing, so a small side plate of them was later brought out to her. Mom was delighted by the crispy skin and tender meat of the duck and savoured every morsel on her plate. Pesto Pasta ($25) - V ordered this with added Chicken for $12 while Z added the Salmon for $16. Both said that this plate of noodles was scrumptiously rich and filling. Filet Mignon ($69) - A must-try dish highlighted for its exquisite preparation, served tender and bursting with flavour. I ordered this, medium rare. The steak was overcooked, so the kitchen quickly replaced it. The steak was delicious, even the overcooked meat was yummy. Lemon Meringue Tart ($16) - Le Dessert menu offers an array of sweet delights showcasing some of France's celebrated confections. This dessert item was served on the house to Mom, with a personalized greeting and lit candle, for her birthday. The petite tart, composed of a buttery crust cradling a tangy, velvety lemon curd, all crowned with a toasted cloud-like peak of marshmallowy meringue was unforgettably pleasing to our eyes and mouths. I'm not big into lemon sweets, but I highly recommend this pastry. C'est si bon! Campagne One Main's attention to detail extends to its beverage selection as well, serving genuine bellinis with real peach purée, not syrup, YUM. The warm ambiance and remarkable food are further complemented by impeccable service. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the hospitable front desk team member who presented the dessert menu to me to choose the complimentary birthday sweet for Mom. Our server, Kevin, was also exceptional, transforming a simple meal into a memorable experience by blending genuine friendliness with proactive attentiveness. The staff ensured that our visit felt truly special - Mom enjoyed a very happy birthday at Campagne One Main. What a hidden gem! Campagne One Main is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a pleasurable French culinary experience.

CHECK YOUR BILL!!. I recently dined at Elyse in San Jose and wanted to share a mixed experience…read more First, the positives -- the food was genuinely very good. The dishes were well-prepared, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented. The overall ambiance was also enjoyable, making it a nice spot for a dinner out. Unfortunately, the experience took a concerning turn at the end of the meal. Our bill came out to $86.42, and I handed my credit card to the waiter. Within seconds (thanks to my card alerts), I received a notification that $103.92 had been charged. When the waiter returned with the receipt, there was no mention of any discrepancy. After waiting a few minutes to see if it would be addressed, I brought it up myself. The waiter appeared flustered and then claimed he had accidentally charged me for someone else's food. That explanation didn't align with the itemized bill I was given, which made the situation feel questionable. He assured me that it would be corrected and that I should see the adjustment in a few days, which I'll be watching closely. Mistakes can happen, but the lack of transparency and the fact that it wasn't proactively disclosed is what left a bad impression. Being overcharged without explanation -- and having to catch it myself -- is not something I expect when dining out. I'd consider coming back for the food, but I'd definitely be more cautious when it comes to the bill.

Food - Warm bread and soft butter were served with free refills! The starters were the standout. Mushroom ravioli and escargot were served piping hot and dipping the bread in the creamy sauce and garlic oil was a must. The entrees were all solid with the filet, duck confit and cioppino. Desserts were very decadent so their lemon sorbet is great if you don't enjoy things too rich. Finally, they had a vast wine selection and small samples were offered for free. Overall, definitely satisfies any French food cravings. Price - They offer a $70 prix fixe menu that's a great deal. The meal was already filling after the entree! Atmosphere - Casual vibe on the finer side that is great for special occasions like a birthday. Parking wasn't difficult as well. Service - Attentive, kind, and funny! Andre always kept our water filled up so we never had to worry. We asked for many family photos and Ben took so much care in them. While we were dining, a woman came to eat who was a recent widow and overcome with emotion, she left suddenly without ordering and left $100 as a tip. Ben actually ran after her to give her money back and this act is the best representation on how amazing and kind their service was. We came for a birthday and they provided a birthday crème brûlée and even sang! Overall, good food that satisfies a French craving with even better service. Would absolutely go back again.
