Figs Grille

Mediterranean cuisine finds a new depth of expression at Fig's Grille. Chef/owner Sam Tadros carries his success at North Naples' Sam-Bucco's Bistro a few countries further at Fig's, adding heavier Lebanese, Turkish, Moroccan and Spanish influences to his repertoire, taking taste buds on a magic carpet ride of exotic flavors. The dining room provides the proper setting for embarkation with veil drapery, rich colors, an orchestra of table and booths, lighting that evokes the Arabian Nights, and an alcove bar. Figs make cameo appearances throughout the menu: in the tuna ceviche appetizer (consorting with pistachios), in the signature salad with baby spinach and fig balsamic vinaigrette, in a chutney with the roasted duck, and as a homemade figs confit with the crème brulee.
