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

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

Went for my friend's birthday and food was great but the service was very disappointing not sure if it was because my party and I were a younger crowd but we did not feel as though we were welcomed. We were often ignored and we found a hair on one of our drinks. Other than that the ambiance was great. 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

Went here with a big party and service was amazing! Great food and great prices, plus and ocean view what more can you ask for! Really loved the steak and the garden salads were delicious. 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

If you're looking for a chic, cozy spot with delicious vegan and vegetarian options, Fig Tree Venice is the place to be! This rustic gem, right on the water, offers a charming farm-to-table experience. The ambiance is perfect for a relaxed afternoon--ideal for bringing a book and settling into a warm corner with a comforting bowl of soup or a fresh salad. The tranquil setting makes it a wonderful escape, and the food is both wholesome and flavorful. A great place to unwind and enjoy some nourishing, well-prepared dishes. Service is decent. Sometimes on the slower side, obviously depends on how busy they are. read more

We ordered the chicken tinga hash, crispy potatoes side, and the avocado chicken melt. The chicken tinga hash was the best dish there and I would definitely recommend it. The fries and sweet potatoes were cooked well, and crispy! However, the avocado chicken melt was more disappointing. The bread on the chicken melt was hard and dry but the chicken itself was cooked fine. For drinks we ordered a matcha and a hibiscus tea. The matcha tasted good, however the hibiscus tea was very sour and not sweet. The restaurant is located on the beach which is nice after enjoying a walk. read more

I've had this place on my list for a while now, so the girls and I chose to come here for our Friendsgiving brunch. The ambiance is great, right on the beach and the patio is airy with boho decor. However, the food was super underwhelming. We had the ceviche, breakfast burrito, and burger, all of which were just okay. The breakfast burrito with chorizo was heavy on the egg, potato, and green peppers; it really didn't have much flavor and needed something else. The service was alright, but we had to wait a while for the check and some boxes. Overall, not necessarily a negative experience, but there was nothing memorable about Fig Tree Venice that would bring me back. Like most places in Venice, parking is a challenge, so make sure to account for that. We got lucky and found street parking on a neighborhood street, there's also plenty of paid lots nearby. read more

A few friends and I came here for brunch yesterday. One friend and I got the breakfast burrito and the other got the pancakes. Everything was delicious! I'm not usually a green salsa girl, but the side of it with the burrito was delicious. Two of us also ordered espresso martinis and one ordered a regular martini, and we all loved our drinks. The regular martini comes with two olives and an anchovy, which my friend loved. Sitting on the patio was so nice, and it was the perfect temperature and had a nice breeze. I liked that we were under some cover so that we didn't heat up too much, and it made for a great brunch! It was pretty expensive for what we ordered (roughly $40 split three ways and with money off from inkind), but it was very tasty! read more

Last time I was here was about 3 yrs ago, it easily became one of my favorites, especially with the spicy margarita and salmon on avo toast. Somehow today was different, the atmosphere is still the same, with great music and plant decor. Service was also amazing. But the food has changed, the menu only has 1 Fig item. For it being called Fig Tree, I expected more fig items on the menu. Why do I remember my salmon avo toast from 3 years ago having a fig glaze? I don't know, today's avo toast with salmon was not that great. The only fig item was a biscotti, and that was hard to eat, wish they had a fig dip at least to soften the hardness, almost chipped a tooth read more

The service, while it could have been more expedient, was exceptional beyond words. If I'm ever to find myself in that general area, I would go back. The food was top-notch, the ambiance was casual, and again, the service was exceptional. read more

We just came here without a reservation for a little bite after a beach day as we had had a late lunch. Overall pleasant experience and efficient service. The place is cute (right on the Venice strip) and food was decent/reasonably priced despite the location. It was a bit chilly out so I got the Lentil soup and sat right by the outdoor heaters. It was a quick meal, perfect for the occasion. Disappointed with the restrooms, they were not well cleaned when we came in the evening so I believe this is an area of opportunity. Still giving it 4 stars however. 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

Although this place has a prime location right along the beach, with lots of seating, this place had just about the slowest service ever. I got here early around 8:30am and there weren't that many people here yet. They advertise half off breakfast from 8am-9am on the pedestrian sign outside but when we came in, they said it's Monday through Friday only, which isn't notated anywhere on the sign. The food is good but pretty pricey but given the prime location, I can understand. However , everything took forever including the coffee refills, getting the check, getting someone to take my payment, so don't come here if you need to do anything afterwards. read more

The FIG is such a cute little gem located inmthe heart of Venice right on the strip. We walked past the Fig and the first thing we noticed was the decor which was decorated with flowers and it was beautiful. We kept walking and then turned around because we couldn't get this restaurant out of our mind, we stopped in for a few drinks and appetizers. We settled on chips and salsa and a half dozen oysters plus a glass of champagne and an espresso martini. the chips and salsa and guacamole were delicious the chips were hot and fresh. The oysters were delicious and were accompanied by a horse radish vinegar sauce however I love an extra spice so asked for Tabasco and they brought this amazing habanero sauce that went good with it. This restaurant also offers brunch, lunch food but we' still had a lot of Venice to see so only had appetizers. I would definitely come back! 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

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

The beachside oasis that's a hidden gem that can't be passed up if you visit the boardwalk. Reservations are not required but definitely recommend for a party of four or more. This cafe is perfect for breakfast and brunch with the added dinner bonus. The presentation is eye pleasing and the service is spot on. Well, most of the times I've been it's been like that. My favorites are their Plantains and Coconut plate if I'm in the mood for sweet and I'll get the Gravlox plate if I want something lighter. As for the coffee, I just stick with the cortado with the sweet on the side of the cold brew. The vibe is super chill if you arrive early but once it's packed? It's a party for sure! And so that's my take on this cafe, Peace out peeps. read more

Had relatively high expectations due to someone praising this spot as the best breakfast in Venice, and the glowing reviews on this platform. However, our experience left so much to be desired. We were greeted by a host soon enough and seated outside; the greenery and people-watching was pleasant, but flies intruded on the experience frequently. The bathroom I went into was also not kept well - it had an unpleasant odor, the soap seemed low-quality, and there were no paper towels. It took quite a while for us to be greeted after being seated and for water to be served to us. When it finally came, the server said he'd be back right away to take our order. This turned out to be at least 20min later. I ended up getting the breakfast burrito (I was tempted by the seafood pasta but deviated due to reading that the portion size is not up to par with the price). Hoped that the food would salvage our perceptions; however I found the burrito be incredibly underwhelming. None of the ingredients seemed to be seasoned (might not have even had any basic salt or pepper) and the green sauce lacked depth as well. A star is given for the busser being prompt and courteous, and for the location on the boardwalk with a view of the beach. read more

We had the most amazing experience hosting our baby shower at this restaurant. We spent many hours searching for a venue that would be accommodating, have great food and beverage options, and that would be memorable. After speaking with dozens of different venues, it was clear that Fig Tree was the clear winner in all of these categories. We were immediately connected with Matias, the owner, who made every step of the process so incredibly easy and painless. We hosted our party on the outdoor patio that overlooks the ocean and sunset with a back section covered by a tree and it all just was absolutely stunning. We worked with Matias and the chef to create the perfect menu for our event, and picked several incredible cocktails to serve. They were very flexible with our set up, accommodated all dietary restrictions, the servers on the day of were amazing and treated us and the guests like friends, and we even had a musician who frequently works with the restaurant play live music for our event. We were able to set up a Photo Booth in the back under the tree, which is a perfect place for photos and for guests to sit. Everyone had an amazing time. I couldn't have imagined a better venue or team for our event! read more

Decidedly ok. Our waiter was very indifferent to us the entire meal. We were seated for our 6:45 reservation and he didn't even acknowledge us for 15 minutes and that was only after we went back to the hostess stand asking if the server knew we had even been seated. When he finally acknowledged us it was only ask if we decided what we wanted to eat like he had checked on us previously and we weren't ready. No welcome no offer of water no take drink orders first. The food was fine but generally lacked flavor. The ceviche sauce was good but the fish didn't have the flavor in it. The pasta was sopping in oil with little herbiness or saltiness. It was cooked well though. The patio was really beautiful but we were seated so far back that they closed the plastic barrier and we couldn't even see the colors and the sky over the ocean after they did that. The espresso martini was a high point. read more

After scouring the website, and lovely conversations with the owner, Matias, I decided to host my engagement party at Fig Tree, with 25 members of my friends and family. It was a beautiful experience, with the most gorgeous sunset (the golden hour lighting reflects on the walls of the private room in a lovely way), right on the beach. We selected five hors d'oeuvres, listed below, all of which were a hit amongst the attendees -- especially the flavorful sliders. Additionally, we had a drink package with incredibly delicious spicy margaritas. - salmon avocado tostadas - grilled seasonal veggie bites - heirloom tomato toasts - burger sliders - churros & chocolate Mitchell and the other bartenders were SO friendly and helpful. When we wanted to move a few of the tables inside / add chairs, they were prompt with the adjustments. (And Mitchell curated a perfect playlist!) Would love to have more events at Fig Tree! read more

We hosted our collaborative Hang for Creatives and @HapsinLA mixer at the Fig Tree in Venice, and the venue was absolutely perfect for kicking off summer! The space itself is terrific, and the beachside patio and vibrant atmosphere provided the ideal backdrop for our event.

Despite the massive crowd, the Fig Tree staff and the space were incredibly accommodating and handled the enthusiastic turnout beautifully, ensuring the fun and flow of the event never dropped. Huge thanks to the Fig Tree team for being such gracious hosts. If you're looking for a vibrant, accommodating, and unique spot to host an event in Venice, look no further! read more

This place is cute but it definitely gave me food poisoning and I felt that should be reported here.

Came here for the vibes and food! The food was better than the vibes... We ordered the Steak and Eggs, Conchiglie with Ricotta and Spring Greens, and Matcha Latte. The Steak and Eggs were the best overall! They use grass fed Australian beef made just perfect at medium rare. I got the eggs scrambled and they were a bit salty, but it was still good. The pasta was a bit sour, but it was really chewy. I would say this dish and the matcha latte is bit mediocre. The matcha does taste good though. Service was okay. They are pretty busy in the weekends. The restrooms are not very clean. read more

Super cute beach front restaurant! Their outdoor area is sizable with lots of shade. Came for lunch on a Saturday. Had to wait in a line for a table for about 20 min. Definitely recommend getting a reservation. Tomato Garden Sandwich - Huge tomatoes. Love. Wish their aioli was a liiiitle more acidic but it was still delicious. My biggest issue were the greens used. Lots of hard stems and difficult to eat. Couldn't take a bite without having all the stems falling out of the sandwich. Really wished they used sprouts or another leafy easily breakable green. The fries were nice and salty. Good Luck Babe - Fruity tropical vibes! Comes with a pineapple and little tiki umbrella. The staff were friendly and checked in on us often. The ambience was so cute with a nice view. Surprisingly felt secluded from the boardwalk too. Huge variety on the menu. Great place, definitely coming back! read more

The experience at fig tree is by far the most disappointing experience dining in LA. We had a reservation and right when we got there we had to circle 3 times for parking so we called and try to ask them to hold the reservation but no one ever answer. As soon as we got to the space they already let go of our reservation as we were 10 min passed the grace period and we told them we called but you guys didn't answer. The guy then said oh shit really? Then he walked away to say he will go talk to back and get us our table. Finally the host sat us down, we already had the menu but as time goes by, 15-20 minutes the waitress didn't even acknowledge us. We had been seated at the corner and the waitress kept chatting to another table (not taking order or receipts for that table) just casually continue talking to them for more than 10 minutes. We had been trying to get her attention and she had her back towards us so we couldn't. Then finally the water boy came by after 15 min to give us water for first time, we told him that we couldn't get the waitress and if he can tell her we need to order. He kept on showing the hand gesture ok ok, but he just walked right pass by that talking waitress without letting her know we had been waiting for her to take our order. Now, we continued to wait, and she finally finished the conversation. I thought she was gonna come to our table as we were right down the corner, she went to the other corner table next to us, took their request, then she simply bypassed our table without even looking and she went to the table behind us. Wow, what the...? What's wrong with her training is she just simply ignoring us or there's racial discrimination at this restaurant? I was beyond upset, at this time we waited more than 20-25 minutes and she didn't even acknowledge our existence? I got the water boy attention again and gestured why she didn't come to our table? Anyways, at the end finally another waitress came by, and we told her our frustration, she finally took our order but our brunch mood was completely ruined. I didn't even want to order anything or had any appetite eating at this restaurant, this type of customer service at any restaurant is not to be tolerated. If you can't get your waitress and waiter training done correctly don't bother going into customer service for restaurants. Horrible, do not suggest to anyone, definitely won't even consider coming back here again! read more
