About this restaurant

Great for outdoor dining
Innovative
Romantic

Fig Tree Café began in the fall of 2008 with owner Johan Engman’s simple mission rooted in the creation of an inviting and genuine dining experience. Since opening the first location in Pacific Beach, Fig Tree Café planted a second restaurant in the middle of San Diego’s Hillcrest neighborhood at 416 University Avenue. In Hillcrest, Fig Tree Café features an urban modern open kitchen concept, enabling patrons to observe the culinary action. The eatery is easily intimate with chameleon-like characteristics. It operates as an on-the-go spot for daytime diners and transforms into the perfect setting for a romantic dinner after the sun goes down.

We ordered off the $27 three-course menu, which was an excellent value for both quality and quantity. The short ribs were especially good. Service was very friendly without being pushy.

We frequently go to The Fig Tree. I always order the short rib, but this time, in my opinion, it wasn't the same. They have a new chef who informed me "they have been making it wrong for all these past years." Oh, my....not a good thing to say to a guest, and unprofessional towards the past chef. Parts were very crusty, to a burnt level. The manager, Francisco, brought me another one which was a little better. The manager made up for the comment after I told him about it. He was very apologetic and cared, as he knew we were frequent guests. Thank you to the manger. On the other hand, my husband had the steak special which was slightly overcooked, but was good. This experience will not keep me away.

We've been going to Fig Tree for breakfast--always great. But we had not yet tried Fig for dinner. Awesome experience. We did the "pre-movie" thing. The service was excellent--very nice and attentive service. The food was really delicious and well prepared and presented. We'll go again for sure.

We thought we'd have a nice meal on the patio at Liberty Station on a Thursday night. However it wasn't that nice. Our food wasn't extraordinary in any way, the jets from the airport were extremely loud, and the service was super slow. Maybe they were having a bad night or we were expecting too much.

Usually all is excellent. This time the risotto was too cheesy, rather than creamy. The staff with the cook tasted it, and agreed it was not right. They offered to remake, but we were full, as all else was good and we ate it. Our server, German, is always good..a very nice young man. The Fig Tree at Liberty Station is one of our favorites. We will return. And, as always, I recommend the short rib.

We enjoyed our stop there. My mushroom ravioli were delicious though could have used another ravioli or 2. Five seems a little stingy. My husband ordered a burger and said it was good--not great. Our niece has the gnocchi was delicious. Our server was excellent. It took us awhile to find it, but we enjoyed our meal there.

As always, the short rib was outstanding. This visit my hubby ordered the special: steak. The steak was good, but overpriced for its size, compared to steaks that are just as good at other restaurants. But, we will return.
