Came here last Friday for a late breakfast. It was a perfect sunny day complete with perfect sea breezes, and the patio was the perfect location for a beautiful afternoon on the Venice boardwalk. I'm not sure if this place is the best restaurant on the boardwalk, but it's pretty good for this summer tourist trap. If you can stand the tourists. They were bearable on a Friday at noon, or at least THIS Friday. When I actually venture out onto the boardwalk itself (mostly during the summer time or on a particularly warm day) I usually end up going to On the Waterfront, mainly for their tall (I think 18oz) glasses of golden Erdinger( with lemon mmmm). But I'll pass on the grub. Which is what led me just a bit farther down (south) to Figtree's.My friend and I both ordered the eggs Lulu with egg whites. I added swiss. They came with breakfast taters and your choice of bread for toast. Eggs Lulu is basically a scramble with chicken apple sausage, spinach, and pesto. I liked how they had chopped the sausage into smaller pieces instead of huge chunks, but I didn't like how they just melted pieces of the swiss over the top. I want my cheese mixed into a scramble damnit! Overall the food was good, but nothing to write home about. Same goes for the service. Come here for breakfast or lunch with a view. A view which can be both good AND bad, depending on who's out on the boardwalk that day! Ashley D.
