Just touched down in LA, saw an Olympic skateboarder then got the best breakfast burrito I dun ever eaten. Definitely a vibe the food is beyond what I've experienced. I might take a dip in the ocean and swim out till I drown there's no point in living anymore. 10/10 read more

We passed by this restaurant while walking Venice Beach broadwalk and wanted to have lunch. It was really late for lunch and we were hungry. We made it before they closed by 20 minutes. They still serviced us. We decided to try this place and was not disappointed. Great service. Friendly staff. Nice set up inside especially the outside seating. Love seeing the beach while having a meal. Inside was very nice as well. They do have table sharing. My hubs decided on their Beach cheeseburger which was grass fed and came with fries. It was juicy and flavorful. I had their GravLox & Egg Toast with salmon, chimichurri sauce and cappers. It was very good all together. Big slices of fresh salmon. We also had beer and I had the Unturned Stone- Blush wine. All good. I would definitely come back here again. Totally unexpected but highly recommend. [40R, 2023] read more

A perfect beach hang for a special occasion. The staff was LOVELY and the vibes were beach chill. The food was excellent and we could not have had a nicer experience for a family gathering. We went on a weekday and I can see how this place would be packed on weekends. read more

Made a Resy reservation and showed up 5 minutes late with no issue! They had a table set up for us and gave us the option of shade or no shade. We got a Matcha and Hibiscus water. The hibiscus water was just water with steeped hibiscus, so nothing special (however this is exactly what I asked for). The matcha was way too sweet for my girlfriend's taste. We got the plantain pancakes and shrimp roll. The portion was perfect for the two of us. The food was really good and plated beautifully. I'd come back here. The prices aren't terrible and the views are pretty hard to beat. read more

Fig Tree was the ideal place to have our daughter's baby shower!! We wanted a beautiful restaurant (beachfront!) with delicious food and gracious hospitality and, once again, Fig Tree delivered -- it was where our daughter and son-in-law had their wedding welcome reception. The beachfront location and light, airy private room set the stage and the people at Fig Tree elevate any meal or event there -- they are genuine and truly care to make everything easy, flow, and fun. Working with Matias at Fig Tree to plan our event was great and everyone onsite day-of carried out everything exactly. Great communication! We love the food at Fig Tree and it is our go-to family restaurant for meals and special occasion events!! Thank you to everyone at Fig Tree for making our daughter's baby shower everything we imagined and beyond!! Hillary read more

10/10 recommend for any occasion. Food, service, location all meet and exceed any standard bar. Oyster pricing was tad expensive but the quality was fresh as can be. On the small side, which was preferred for the larger group. I did not get a photo of the sea bass dish they were testing but it was phenomenal. I hope they add it to the menu soon. Fig Tree is on the Venice Boardwalk but there is a valet lot right around the corner which made parking easy. Thank you Mathias (manager) and team for an incredible meal. read more

One of my favorite breakfast spots. I always get the pancakes- they're the best! I've gone once for dinner and didn't particularly enjoy the food, but I do highly recommend for their breakfast/brunch menu. The place is also beautiful and a great vibe right on the beach. The staff have always been absolute angels, also! read more

We visited Fig Tree on Venice Beach after visiting the Hollywood sign and touring LA with our kids. It was a super quaint but cute indoor/outdoor restaurant on the beachfront. Our host and server were both kind and accommodating. I had a side of sunny side up eggs, bacon and avocado. My kids had the same along with fruit and churros. The chocolate dipping sauce that accompanied the churros were nostalgic. It tasted very similar to Haitian hot chocolate which is made with cinnamon, star anise and nutmeg. Delicious and a breath of fresh air compared to simple chocolate syrup. My daughter had the plantain pancake -- WOW! Every one at the table stole several bites because it was delicious. The texture was similar to cornmeal pancakes though not as gritty. We loved it. I would definitely visit again! read more

I would come back and try their coffee next time as I bought one elsewhere before coming here. My friends and I came here for breakfast and walked in on a Monday morning with no wait. I got their plantain coconut pancakes; it was dense and yummy. The texture was like a cross between a carrot cake and protein pancake. Their breakfast burritos looked amazing and my friends loved it. Service was fast and attentive. You're sitting by the boardwalk (enclosed tho) so expect some flies buzzing around if you're outside. read more

I went to thick tree Venice on Sunday afternoon around 1:30 PM. The service was great and we were seated immediately. Every one was super nice and gave us plenty of time to look over our menus. we ordered quite a few things on the menu. But our favorite definitely had to be the herb pasta and the green beans with figs. The food is like art. It is smaller to medium size portions but the flavors are outstanding. When you are seated, you can ask to sit inside or outside and the ambience is very cute yet modern. It feels like you are transported to a different city. This is actually my second time going and I really enjoy it here, I would recommend it. I usually bring friends from out of town and they all love this place. Parking is not the best but if you are lucky, you can find free parking on the streets. If you park on rose near the creepy clown cvs, there is a public lot that was pretty cheap. We paid $20 for the whole day but if you go to the parking lot directly behind fig, it's around $45. read more

Fig Tree is truly the perfect Venice spot. Whether it's stopping by for a quick coffee and bite or hosting a private event (my company has hosted 3 now!) the ambiance is truly wonderful, as is the food. The staff is incredibly professional and kind and we will definitely be working with them again soon! read more

Matias and Bryson were awesome. Had my daughter's bridal shower here this past w/e. Both my daughters said it was perfect. We decorated the room with tons of flowers so between that and the view of the beach and the good food/liquor it was a perfect choice. My only tiny pet peeves were that I had to ask for better candles/wax into the vases that weren't lit and it seemed they didnt have a lot of that so i was surprised but they did use smaller vases with more wax. also i had to ask them to give us fresh plates for the entrees. they were going to serve all food on app plates. DESPITE these teeny tiny things. This is 5 stars and i am a tough critic! oh also i would have preferred 3 entrees/apps as opposed to 2. the salmon avocado chips looked scarce on the platter but all food good-- grain bowl, pear salad, shrimp rolls, churros and coffee all YUM! thank you. read more

Really enjoyed this place, a cute find right on the beach. We could see the ocean from our table. Brynn had a pasta dish with asparagus and fava beans in it. Delicious! I had the chili rellleno made from squash. Just amazing!!!!! We topped it off with the cherry rhubarb crisp...that would be a meal in itself and worth coming just for that! We weren't noticed at first and it took several tries for someone to notice us and invite us to seat ourselves (we almost left, I'm sure glad we didn't!). I wasn't a fan of 18% being automatically added to the bill. Please, management, no reason to comment the fact that I commented on this. It's my opinion and I want it in the review, people should be aware of this before they sit down. read more

My friend kept telling me she heard great things about this place and we went there today to try it. From the very beginning our experience was not good. The hostess was rude, mean and was lacking basic customer service skills. She said they were packed and we need to wait for 20 minutes to get seated but then she got four other pairs in when they came way later than us. We ended up waiting much longer than 20 minutes. When I asked her why are they given a priority, she said it's because the tables are for two people and it's three of us. However, she could have arranged to combine two tables to fit us, as there were other groups of three using two tables. It wasn't just the wait that was unpleasant but the fact that her attitude was really bad. Also, it was very hot and she insisted we wait outside under the sun when she could have allowed us to wait inside. After we finally got in, the waiter was nice and attentive to us. However, he served another table who got there later than us before serving us. Most importantly, the food was mediocre, my sandwich bread was burnt and the chicken was not tasty at all. It's possible other menu options are better but I only tried one of the options and it wasn't good. The only thing I liked was the view of the ocean, which I could have without waiting for over 30 minutes and paying $25 for a basic small chicken sandwich. I definitely don't recommend going there unless you have plenty of time and desire to bake under the sun for over 30 minutes. read more

Loved this place! Very cute ambiance, right on the beach, and great food. We ordered the chilaquiles (+ chorizo) and the breakfast burrito. Both were excellent but I think the burrito was the stand out! I wish the chilaquiles came with 2 eggs, but will remember to order an extra one next time. The service was great, everyone was really nice and accommodating. Will definitely be back! read more

I hold an annual end-of-the-year breakfast at Victor He for my students provide these, usually a party of 15. Big trace sets up a long table on the side patio, and the setting is really beautiful, with a view of the ocean. Efraim is usually my waiter, and he and his team are attentive and efficient, and provide wonderful service. Of course, most importantly is the Food, and our group got such a wide variety of breakfast entrées, and everybody was thrilled., Not only was it delicious but the presentation was artful. All in all it's an exceptional experience and I recommend that you check it out. It's a Relax and beautiful environment. read more

I love Fig Tree! I've been a few times for breakfast and it never disappoints. If you arrive between 8a and 9a, breakfast is half price! This is quite the deal if you're going for the steak and eggs, which I recommend. Service can be a little slow early in the day, but your patience pays off. It's also a great location on the boardwalk. Definitely give them a try! read more

This place is definitely very appealing due to its location but is not as great as I hoped. Although the service was good, it could never make up for the food. Calamari: ordered without smelt and it came out cold the first time. Asked them to redo it( which they did) but you could see the back of the house coming to look at our table when it was sent back. Second time it came out, smelt was included so we did not finish it. Steak: very bland. Asked for medium rare but it came out medium/medium well. Did not send it back as we were ready to leave and saw what happened after calamari was sent back. Drinks were okay. Not familiar with pricing in area but $17 for a very small espresso martini seems like highway robbery. read more

I really enjoyed the Gravlox & Egg Toast Breakfast Plate. The portion size was generous and it had great flavors. I also liked their latte with oat milk. The waitress confirmed that oat milk is less fattening than whole milk so glad I tried it. They do not have skim milk so oat milk is a great alternative. My husband got their breakfast burrito and said it was only okay. We had reservations for 8 adults and an infant plus toddler for the outdoor seating area which worked out well. Our table was set up in advance. We found free street parking on Sunday morning before 10 AM. Overall, this is a great brunch place on Venice Beach! read more

This was the ideal place for us to go for a midday brunch on a Friday. my friend lives in the Santa Monica area and we were able to take a nice 15 minute stroll down the boardwalk to the restaurant, where we were instantly sat in a beautiful outdoor table that had enough shade to keep us cool, but still had a great natural feel with lots of foliage, and a bit of privacy & view blocking plants. I tried an iced coffee, which was delicious and my friends and I shared our meals. We had the steak and eggs, and the huevos rancheros, both of which were perfectly portioned and well seasoned. I was hoping the steak would be a bit of a different cut, maybe more like a skirt steak, but it was still delicious and the salad it was served with had a nice refreshing vinaigrette and everything flowed smoothly. The menu was super expansive, there were so many choices. It was hard to make a decision. The staff was also super friendly and gave all their best recommendations, we love it here, and we will definitely be back. read more

Honestly, the food here was pretty mid.The ceviche tasted way too fishy, and the pasta was just okay. I was curious about the anchovies, but they didn't really do much for the dish. The steak was solid though, so there's that. The real issue was the service. We were seated outside near the beachfront, which had great views, but no one took our order or even offered us water for like 15 minutes--and it wasn't even busy. We ended up moving inside, and the service got a *little* better, but still nothing to rave about. If you're coming for the atmosphere, it's a cool spot, but don't expect much from the food or service. Would only recommend for the vibes. read more

The food was delicious! A friend and I were walking the Venice Beach Boardwalk looking for a place to eat dinner. Fig Tree has a nice patio area (with heat lamps!) and the indoor seating is lovely, too. We chose outdoors where it was a little noisy at times, but worth it to watch the sun setting. We shared the Fig Tree Grain Bowl and the Artichoke Squash Pasta. The pasta was rich, but tasty, so the grain bowl (also delicious!) offset it nicely. The house white wine was also very good! I will definitely go back and try their breakfast. read more

While walking in Venice Beach, my sister and I wanted an Espresso Martini. We decided to try Fig Tree. Let's start with how beautiful these espressos were. The presentation alone has set a new standard. The taste was very bold and will easily give you that mid-day boost! We only decided to have one drink, nonetheless, next time we're in town we will return for food as well. Side note: there's an automatic Healthcare charge added to the bill. As our server explained it's optional to pay it or not. The charge goes towards the staff's health care insurance. Our server was nice so we decided to keep it. read more

Came here for brunch recently on a Saturday. Our group sat on the patio, and I really liked the ambiance and setting. It wasn't too crowded when we went, so we had a nice view of the beach! I had the Eggs in Cazuela along with an Espresso Martini. The eggs dish tasted simple and hearty (good for the chilly weather). I enjoyed the flavors of the martini too. I also tried some of their pastries, including the cardamom carrot tea cake, strawberry buttermilk tea cake, and guava cheese pastillo. I liked the spices of the carrot tea cake and the texture of the pastillo. The buttermilk tea cake had a gritty texture and reminded me of cornbread. If you go to the bathroom, try to avoid the one with sliding doors if you don't enjoy cramped spaces. It smelled horrible when I walked in (the floors were wet), and there's a post right next to the toilet that made it awkward for people who need to hover/squat over the toilet. I get traumatized by my experience in a public bathroom every now and then, and this was one of those situations!
