I can't believe this gem has been here all these years and we just discovered it. My husband and I had our anniversary dinner here recently and let's just say, we'll be back! The atmosphere is really quite lovely and romantic. One entire wall is a window that allows natural light to seep into the dining room. The food from... More

It is the best restaurant in Fresno! Quiet, excellent food, good ambiance, superior service. However, it is expensive count on $120 and up for two people, if you can afford it go! It is well worth the money.

Food and service are the best in Fresno. I love their patio for evening dining and this restaurant has never disappointed us.

It reminds me of a very upscale assisted living facility. Very peach, very 80's, clientele very old. Food is not classic french, more continental. Lots of heavy sauces that are not bad but not authentic either. Service was fine. Didn't like server reciting 7 specials instead of having them written down. Overpriced. You can do better in Fresno if you... More

Food for all - young, old, and us "in betweeners." The salad bar will fill you up - but save room for the homemade soups, breads and pasta. If you are a dessert person and love ice cream, you'll be happy.

The Ripe Tomato in Fig Garden Village is a French tradition in our family, the site of a wedding celebration, power political dinners, birthdays and romantic dinners for two. Last night was just the two of us. We started with beet salad for her and onion soup for me. The soup was fabulous, the beet salad with blue cheese dressing... More
