Courteous service, outstanding lunch with fantastic views. A LOVELY experience. We will dine again.

Awesome artistic decor. Freindly peeps and great service. We dropped in for a mid morning coffee and croissant. A wonderful location and we'd love to come back for a meal. read more

This is review is just about the service, NOT food, I left before i could even order because the service was so bad. We were sitting looking at the menu for like 15 mins, not one server came to greet us or offer us anything to drink, so we just left LOL We were sat in an area directly in the sun with no shade, so I POLITELY asked the waitress if it were possible if we could be moved to a different table. Bruh this girl responds with "okay so youre gonna have to talk to the hosts because they handle that." girl WHAT???? as someone that has worked at a restaurant, yes i understand the servers are not in charge of seating but i feel like any normal server would be like "yeah let me talk to the host" or "let me get the host for you" she really said that is not my problem deal it with it pookie read more

I have been so excited to try this place and finally made the time. I guess I caught them at a bad time , breakfast was busy and no one came to say a word to me the first 10 min so Then I asked the hostess if the server knew I was sat . She then said ordering from register would be faster , great I ordered to go . They said 15 min I came back in 20 , they said another 5 more minutes . Came back to receive this . For over a 30 min whole time wait to receive this , just didn't feel good or worth it . ( the box wasn't even closed and this was the presentation ) -the owner reached out to me shortly after my review to apologize, follow up and refund me which I truly appreciate. I understand morning rush but a little communication goes a long way . Looking forward to trying it again in the summer. read more

This is a really cute and vibey restaurant in Venice. I always see a line when I pass by and finally decided to try a coffee from here. They have a walk up service for coffee and pastries which is nice. I ordered an iced vanilla latte to go and it was great! Definitely a good choice for a latte in Venice. Can't wait to come back and try the food! read more

One of the cutest spots along the Venice Boardwalk giving Tulum vibes. I love the plethora of outdoor seating which lets you enjoy the SoCal beach breeze and sunshine. The steak and eggs were delicious. Great savory flavor. Shout out to the crispy potatoes as well. Here's a tip. Make a reservation if you can. If not you might not have much shade to wait for a table. read more

I think Fig Tree is a really popular restaurant alongside Venice Beach, and it was the perfect first and last restaurant we went to in LA during Coachella weekend! We got a mix of things, but I think the breakfast plate was the best thing I tried. Service was quite good, and we got our food and drinks really quickly. I would pass on the kale salad (but this is also very personal because I just don't love kale), but the steak and eggs and breakfast plate were both so solid. read more

Fig tree was such a treat. Parking was easy, a stroll along the beach set the mood... and then came a warm welcome from the most vibey hipster LA waitress I could imagine. Effortlessly cool, casual like an old friend. Then a different waiter with equally cool energy took our order. Food was amazing. Coffee was perfect. And a street performer sat and sang Nat King Cole songs backed by the ocean. Perfect spot for a perfect morning. read more

Fig tree was such a pleasant surprise! I honestly assumed it must be overhyped because of the location but I was so wrong. We went on a Friday afternoon and even though it was packed, we were able to find outside seating quickly. Everything we ordered was absolutely phenomenal! You must get the Coconut and Plantain pancakes and the Chicken Tinga Hash - such a perfect combo or sweet and savory. Those pancakes are actually made from multi grain flour and their texture was amazing! The coconut matcha was creamy and delicious. The outdoor seating is perfect for enjoying a hearty meal while people watching. There was a guy playing some songs across the street and the whole ambiance was nothing short of perfect. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They took our order promptly and delivered in reasonable time considering how busy they were. read more

If you're looking to stop for chips, guacamole, and a cocktail with a view of Venice Beach, this is a decent spot for that. The cocktails are yummy. The service was very inconsistent ranging from super friendly to completely ghosting us. Shortly after sitting down, we asked for two new water glasses because both of ours were dirty with food in them. When the waitress picked them up, she simply placed the dirty glasses back next to the clean ones, presumably to be reused for another guest. That was enough to almost make us get up and leave. After we returned home, I realized we had been overcharged for extra drinks. Unfortunately, after reading other reviews, it seems this is not an isolated event. So my advice would be if you do come here be sure you carefully check your bill. read more

Down in the area for work near Venice Beach and this spot popped up at just the right moment. When we arrived it was almost empty, which honestly made the experience even better. It did pick up toward the end, but service never skipped a beat. Attentive, warm, and genuinely top-notch without hovering. The food leans toward classic comfort happy hour rather than full "destination dining," which is why this lands just shy of five stars for me. Everything was good, thoughtfully prepared, and enjoyable, but there wasn't quite that singular wow bite that locks in a perfect score. I very much enjoyed the small menu with the farmer call out on the back! That said, the natural wine list absolutely deserves its own applause. I ordered an orange wine that was a textbook example of the style: bright, balanced, and refreshingly free of funk. It paired beautifully with the Black Magic Baja oysters. They were on the smaller side, but beautifully briny, clean, and honestly perfect little salty slurps. The Kalamata olives surprised me in the best way. I preferred them far more than the green olives, which almost never happens for me, so credit where it's due. The salmon tostada was lovely and satisfying, and the ceviche was light, fresh, and pleasant, nothing overworked, nothing heavy. Overall, this is a place I really enjoyed and would absolutely return to, especially for breakfast. Calm atmosphere, excellent service, solid food, and a wine program that clearly knows what it's doing. Comfortable, unfussy, and quietly confident. A great stop if you're in the area and want to linger a little longer than planned. read more

After stopping by here for lunch, I decided to host my birthday party here. In the beautiful outdoor garden, I hosted 30 of my closest friends and family members. Matias, the owner was responsive and easy to work with from the beginning. He provided me with his cell phone # and we were able to communicate both via text and email. He also generously provided a complimentary tasting as I haven't tried many of the items on the catering menu. I ended up hosting a birthday lunch on an early October afternoon and the weather could not have been more perfect. It was warm with a cool breeze. The menu I ended up with were the following: Appetizers: 1. Ceviche (beautiful and balanced in flavor) 2. Japanese sweet potatoes (one of my favorite starch cooked and seasoned perfectly) Entrees: 1. Steak with French fries (need I say more? This was a hit!) 2. Chicken sandwich with avocados and bacon (flavorful and the bread with perfectly grilled) 3 Grain bowl (healthy, light and filling) Dessert: 1. Chocolate churros (My absolute favorite! Read my last review) Drinks: 5 cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages. All the food turned out really delicious! I was pleasantly surprised by the avocado chicken melt sandwich as that was one of my last minute changes. I had left-overs and loved it! All of my guests were raving about the food and the ambiance. Chloe and Mitchell served us well.I am extremely thankful for their hospitality and support and happy faces. Thank you Fig Tree Venice for a great meal and a lovely and memorable experience. read more

Nice ambiance. Good americano. Excellent customer from William and the bus staff. Nice outdoor seating.

I was walking my dogs on the strip and stumbles across fig tree ! They had a cute patio and allowed me to bring my fur babies in - The service was amazing they were on top of it They let us enjoy our food without to many interruption . The food was so good I forgot to take a picture - we got a half dozen oysters that were phenomenal- they had so many options that looked amazing. Unfortunately I was doing keto so I got the burger minus the bun. It was so good that Ali sauce was amazing. My partner got the steak and eggs and the steak was cooked to perfect perfection, we will definitely be coming back here. The price was great for the quality of food that we got. read more

I've been here twice. The first time, I came with a big group and food was delightful! Everything came out at a nice time and was fresh. The second time was no different! I came here both times for breakfast as they have a great breakfast deal (%50) off all breakfast items! Service is great and overall, I'm excited to come back. The only issue is that parking absolutely sucks at all times. Most lists are $20 for 2 hours and there very rarely street parking, even early in the morning! read more

Wonderful! I had such a beautiful time. Breakfast by the beach? Of course! Yes please. But the food was also very good because you know ambiance is one thing but the food can be a different story. I was debating if I should make reservations but I just decided to take the risk and walk in instead for Sunday brunch. We just waited 10-15 min and got seated down outside with ocean views. A great addition was the guitarist playing soothing tunes on the boardwalk (not part of the restaurant). We both ordered one hot and one iced plantain cacao latte because that just sounded so interesting! And we were curious which temperature it would taste better so we each got one iced and one hot. The hot one turned out to be better which I knew it. We both ordered the Fig Tree Breakfast plate which made us feel like we were having a nice home cooked meal. The plantain's were yummy. I loved how they added some salt to the avocado. The beans were tasty and so was the piece of bacon. The sourdough bread was a little too toasty but overall good. I wasn't feeling the jam though. Service was friendly and attentive. Shout to Sandra! Such a nice soul who brought out a small icecream cookie for my birthday and asked what I was doing. She was so friendly and inviting. Thank you Sandra! And to the rest of the staff. I cannot wait to come back and experience inside by the bar and more of their meals! read more

Came here with my girlfriend and her parents for her dad's birthday and we had a great time! William, our server, was extremely attentive and brought out the surprise birthday ice cream for him and really went the extra mile to block off the candle from the wind with a cup so the flame didn't blow out early. Amazing. Also highly recommend the smash burger. Can't wait to come back. read more

Very aesthetic cafe right by the beach walk. The cafe was pretty packed on a Sunday morning, so I'd highly recommend making a reservation. We shared a breakfast burrito, an omelette, and pancakes, and everything tasted great. The burrito and omelette were herby and flavorful, and the multigrain pancakes tasted pretty healthy. Portions were big, but prices were on the higher end. read more

A great place to catch up with friends! A group of us came here for a friend's birthday and they were super accommodating with changing up the table numbers last minute. It's a cute venue with a classic Pacific Ocean vibe. A few tables were celebrating birthdays, so I guess this is the place to be if you're celebrating! Shoutout to the staff for gifting birthday dessert ice creams too! Parking on a Saturday night will predictably be tough in this part of Venice as the lots can fill up, so give yourself plenty of time to find street parking if needed. read more

Popped in here for a weekend brunch with friends and 10/10 I plan on coming back! Located right along the strand in Venice beach this is a prime location for people watching with a stellar view and great food. This is a great spot to bring family or friends when visiting Los Angeles. Parking is always a bit tough in Venice (as expected) so just allow yourself a bit of extra time to find lot or metered parking (if you're lucky). The aesthetic and vibe of the restaurant is super cute, open and airy. Our server was nice and quite comical (can't remember your name sorry). I got the Avocado Toast, we shared some fries and crudo and my friends had a salad and Avocado Chicken Melt! chefs kiss xoxox read more

Incredibly delicious and beautifully presented food, but unfortunately, there is no way to enjoy the experience or be able to carry on a conversation due to amplified sound from a street performer being allowed on Venice Beach adjacent to the restaurant patio. Truly an incredibly stressful experience. We were hungry and went through a lot of parking hassle to get there so we stayed. It would otherwise be a very pretty and relaxing location to have brunch but the amplified street performance obliterates any possibility of relaxing or talking or enjoying your meal. An absolute assault on the ears, mind, and soul. SO so loud, and horrible. No one should be forced to listen to such garbage. Certainly not paying customers. It's too bad because the service and food were really great. read more

I just moved to Venice and found Fig Tree online. When I saw the menu, I knew I had to try it out. Wow, what a perfect meal today! Truly enjoyed sitting on the patio overlooking the beach. The ambience was spot on. Efran, our waiter, greeted us with a smile and provided incredible service. He recommended the chicken tinga hash, and it did not disappoint. Fresh high quality ingredients that were so satisfying and delicious! As someone with a gluten intolerance, I love how many options there are for me, including the carrot tea cake - yum! To top it all off Mathias, the owner, came over to our table to welcome us, which was lovely. Fig Tree is my new favorite place and I look forward to many more meals to come! read more

My friends and I came here for Sunday brunch on one of the first sunny days of spring. All the reviews are true, this restaurant does have a Tulum inspired ambiance. The patio is large, and dog friendly! I do recommend securing a reservation since it can get very crowded for brunch. Especially since it's right on the boardwalk. I ordered the chilaquiles and my friends ordered the chicken tinga hash. Both were delicious. I highly recommend requesting the hot sauce with the chilaquiles if you're a spice lover such as myself. The dish comes with a mild verde salsa, but I always appreciate an added kick. I'll definitely be coming back to Fig Tree this summer, especially on sunny weekends where I can chill on the patio. read more

First and foremost, watch out for the charges! They added two extra drinks and overcharged us, so we had to ask for a separate bill. So, be sure to double-check the bill and review the items carefully. Next, we discovered that they automatically include a 20% gratuity and a 2% healthcare fee, both of which are taxed. This results in over a 24% extra charge without any clear notification. It's pretty frustrating that gratuity and healthcare fees are added to the bill, and on top of that, sales tax is applied to both. It all feels a bit sneaky. Prices really should be transparent from the start. (If you eat $100, you should pay $134.334 with, the way they give you the bill). As for the quality, the food wasn't the best, but it was okay! But they charge you 23.5 for a burger (the burger doesn't come with fries, so it costs an extra $4.5), with a quality level of a $10-15 burger. The restrooms weren't kept particularly clean. Also, the chairs weren't sturdy, so I constantly felt like I was about to fall over. At the end, when we asked for a separate bill, we were told that we needed to inform them before ordering, which seemed to show the waiter didn't want to put in the effort to give us separate bills. read more

Wonderful spot on the Venice Ocean Walk! Visited on a Saturday late afternoon. It was busy, but not overly crowded like some of the more "scene" places. They were dog and baby friendly. Got a wonderful table that was spacious and had a great view of the beach and ocean. Food was all delicious. Our table tried the smash burger, chicken sandwich, ceviche, and shrimp roll. The rosemary fries were great, especially if you get a side of the pesto aioli (which comes on the chicken sandwich, but is so good with the fries). The table loved the espresso martinis, but the sabi wabi was definitely a highlight. Clarified alcohols are so delicious and creamy. Highly recommend if you want a slightly more chill place on the Venice Ocean Walk. read more

This is a cute beachside spot in Venice. The parking situation is a nightmare because Venice is so touristy and popular. I had to park a few blocks away because there isn't much parking nearby. But I came here with a friend for dinner during the week without a reservation, and they were able to seat us outside right away. It got a little chilly as the night went on, so the heaters were much appreciated. Our waitress was really nice and personable, so that was a plus. I ordered the pacific fish cakes with a side of fried plantain. The fish cakes were good, but the portion size was so small, I was still hungry after my meal. I went home hungry. Maybe I should have ordered something else that was more filling, but with an entree and a side, I figured it would be enough. read more

The vibes in here are great. It was definitely a little chilly so they should probably invest in some more heaters, but thankfully we had jackets. Our service was pretty good. The food was very very good. The tostadas were very fresh with great flavor, and the seafood pasta had this amazing creamy umami sauce. However, the reason why this is sadly getting 3 stars and why we did not stay for dessert (which probably would've been delicious) was because throughout the second half of our dinner, we saw a MOUSE running around. It was running underneath our table, and we had to keep checking to make sure it wouldn't run over our feet. This definitely took away from the experience, and raised some questions as to why there was a rodent in the dining area. Also, one of the employees was at our table when we had to jump up and back away from the mouse that was literally in front of us, and he barely reacted and just laughed. I feel like he probably should've told our server who could've given us a free dish, or apologized at least. Overall, I'd love to come back here if there was a promise of no mice, because the food was great. Just beware of rodents. read more

Right along the bike path of famed Venice Beach, CA... you can't beat its location... next to the sand and the Pacific Ocean... it's the beach ambiance that you can't beat! Service is very matter of fact... a NY minute of attention but if/when you can get their attention, it's a full service experience! The food is interesting... very much a south American feel and flavor for some, and a different approach for everything else. It isn't cheap, but for this kind of view... priceless! read more
