Amazing Food. Mean, judgmental staff. Basically a mean white girl joint. Too bad cuz they have amazing eggs and fresh produce.

I like this place it's pretty and the food is generally good.

But my last experience was worth a 2 star review (so I'll settle at 3).
They were probably understaff but the service was very very slow, they forgot items, the 4.5$ side salads were very soggy. I hope they'll improve cause it's a wonderful location and their patio is nice.

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!

Beautiful neighborhood spot, very high quality ingredients

I was pretty disappointed with my meal. The pork belly came out cold and seemed like it was rushed at the last minute, as if they’d forgotten about it. The calamari was really greasy, and the grilled chicken was cold too. The rest of the food was okay, but overall it felt a bit careless and underwhelming.

The food was great!! The table setting needed to be a little more space between each other. The waiter seemed like he was bored or he was new came late to get our order and we had to call him over through our meal for water refill

I was trying to spend some good time in Venice and It was the WORSE PLACE! The Staff TERRIBLE Specially the Host 🤢 I don’t even know how she got that Job 😬
Not Professional and They don’t Treat with Respect It looks like a Good place to Eat and Drink but it’s a Nightmare!
I highly Recommend (The Hotel Erwin Venice Beach) it was Amazing and the Rooftop has a Beautiful View 🔥

Great !! Somehow the service ain't that great but, they have a manager now asking how is everything, the food is good , nice view of the ocean, tables inside and outside, at night each table has a warmer and lights everywhere is nice , trees inside and green plants

Service was attentive, I liked my beach burger despite it being overpriced (per the location). The patty was good quality. My friend ordered the “Tomatoes by the sea” and was utterly appalled at the presentation.. a few tomatoes, sparse peppers, and sardines served on a platter for over $23. Expect the usual Venice beach character walking by and ocasional odor of urine if you chose outdoor seating ;)

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!
