FigMINT Farms truly feels like “a world apart."
At Dinner in the Pines, FigMINT Farms transforms into an immersive, candlelit feast where Mediterranean flavors from Sassool meet twinkling lights, long communal tables, and a truly unforgettable atmosphere. 🌿🍷
We spoke with Sisters Simone and Noelle Saleh about the inspiration behind this magical experience. And how they've been carrying forward their family’s legacy of hospitality, turning every meal into a shared experience of connection, community, and celebration.

Let’s Get REAL— Every penny counts. So here is an insider tip to save you a little bit of $$ .
.
.
When placing online orders for delivery. You can either choose Toast (our point of sale system) OR a 3rd party (Uber, DoorDash, Grubhub)… let make the decision simple .
.
.
See pic 3 and 4…. For a 5 meal order>>
Through Uber you’re going to pay $20 for fees… and the total listed is WITHOUT the tip.
.
.
Through Toast (also using an Uber driver), you’ll pay a flat $5… and the total listed is WITHOUT TIP.
.
.
With this order alone, there is about a $20 difference— same order.
.
.
Now just think how much $$ would be saved on an order like the one made from Keith’s takeout sash 🤯
.
.
Order delivery directly through Toast and save $$

HOW TO ORDER
.
.
A lot of newcomers ask us in line, “So how do you do this?” … we don’t blame you— the massive variety in the fresh case tends to throw you for a loop.
.
.
So here’s the quick version of how to order!
1. Want all sides/ salads? — Pick3 or Pick4 plates will get you that variety!
2. Combo plates, all come with two sides— kabobs, wraps, pita sandwiches, pizzettes, lasagna, daily special
3. Take to go — choose your favorite sides and salads to pack in family sized deli containers… and of course any plate or combo can be to go as well!
.
.
We hope this helps! Thank you to all our guests who have not known what or how to order and have given us a shot anyway! ♥️
There’s a reason our orzo is GREEN — we make our own parsley vinaigrette with a TON of fresh parsley. We add in mounds of bell pepper and olives, so that you aren’t just enjoying delicious orzo pasta salad, but you are also benefiting nutritionally!
