This proved to be a mixed bag: my roasted local mushroom salad - with mixed chicories, bacon lardons, torn croutons, roasted garlic, and shallot vinaigrette was excellent, while my steak and frites - a six ounce prime flat iron steak, frites, point reyes blue cheese was a perfect sized and tasting brunch.
But my wife didn't rate her meal at all. Her fig and arugula salad - with toasted pecans, dried figs, pancetta, goat's cheese, fig and port vinaigrette - was a mush of overly sweet cheesy vegetation. And her omelet with short rib, white cheddar and onions was inadequately seasoned and in the end, unappealing.
It wasn't a complete waste of time - we turned the drive to Sonoma into a champagne pick up at Gloria Ferrer - but the rave reviews we've heard of The Girl and The Fig proved unreliable on this visit.
