Figs

Figs Restaurant on Charles Street in Boston = excellent.

Ginger ale for me came in a fancy curvy glass. That's a first!

Bread has a yummy garlic oil coating, good quality olive oil and balsamic for dipping.

Rhode Island Calamari on a bed of mixed greens with jalapeƱo peppers and lemon aioli. We left no prisoners.

Mixed green salad with lemon vinaigrette: good quality, still shouldn't cost $6.5.

Fig and Prosciutto pizza? Yes.
Crispy thin rosemary crust with a fig-goat cheese sauce and beautiful prosciutto layered on top. I guess there was cheese on there somewhere. It all blended together really well with the prosciutto on top.

Delicious. Must try in own kitchen.

The restaurant itself was darkly decorated, crowded, and fairly loud as per usual in Boston. We were seated in the only empty table which was sort of a shallow booth right next to the kitchen. The lighting was such that when the pizza was placed on the stand I could not see my plate thru the shadow - it was actually awesome :). Felt like we were VIPs or something and it was quieter than it would have been at the bar or central eating area. Glad we went out today, even though I hadn't been feeling awesome and we canceled ice skating - crossing fingers for Monday!
