Treehouse Café

Excellent customer service! Beautiful restaurant indoors and outdoors on the rooftop patio. The sparkling rose was delicious and crisp, very refreshing. We ordered the cauliflower appetizer and it was delicious! The takziki sauce gave it so much flavor. Also the lamb gyro was tender and flavorful. Definitely a delicious meal. The portion size was reasonable as well.

The atmosphere and service here was impeccable. Very helpful and knowledgeable. The food, though, was a little disappointing. My son got the chicken kabobs. My wife the chicken Alfredo pasta. I got the lamb and beef gyros. My wife's Alfredo was oily, with at least a tablespoon of oil left at the bottom. My sons chicken kabobs and my lamb and beef looked very processed, like they were pressed into shape. In fact, I could not tell the difference between the lamb and beef, and I have eaten gyros many times in my life.

I truly stumbled upon a hidden gem in Carmel! Located on the second floor, this charming spot offers a cozy atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to dine inside, and I was impressed by the variety on the menu—there was something for everyone. But what really won me over? They even had a pup menu! As a huge fan of dog-friendly places, that was a big plus. The food was absolutely delicious, from the appetizers to the main course, each dish was well-prepared and full of flavor. But the real star of the night? The tiramisu—OMG, hands down the best I’ve ever had! It was light, creamy, and perfectly balanced, the kind of dessert you keep thinking about long after the meal is over. The service was also fantastic—friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making the experience even better. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this place is definitely worth a stop. I’ll be coming back for sure!

We will not mince words, Treehouse Cafe was an incredibly disappointing meal that sticks out like a sore thumb against the restaurant’s nice setting and decent service. We went for a family dinner in the private room and were seated, ordering pretty quickly as well. They did accommodate our dog but repeatedly forgot to bring him water even though we asked three separate times. The private room was pretty, an old wood room lined with wine bottles, almost like you’re in a cellar. By all accounts, it felt like we were headed towards having a decent meal, here’s where it went wrong… We ordered the honey and cheese appetizer, osso buco, and their special, which was a ribeye. Let’s start with the honey and cheese: it really is just bruschetta with honey and some goat cheese. It was good, nothing to write home about but a decent starter for things to come. Where it all fell off were the entrees. The osso buco was, to put it lightly, not good. It isn’t supposed to be the most aesthetically pleasing dish but this looked like a bunch of slop with a lamb shank thrown on top. The mashed potatoes and veggies it came with were good but you don’t order this for the veggies. The lamb shank, the best part of the meal, was incredibly gamey, even by lamb standards. Believe us when we say we can stand gamey meat but this was very gamey, just not enjoyable. It was cooked decent even though the flavor was not good. What wasn’t cooked decent however was the ribeye. We requested the ribeye at a medium, we got something maybe 10 seconds away from being well done. The meat was tough, not easy to chew. The flavor was all held on the crust which made it wildy unenjoyable to eat past the initial taste you got. Again, the mashed potatoes were good but we didn’t order a bowl of mashed. We didn’t finish the steak, only ate about a quarter of it. The staff did knock off some of the price of the steak and gave us a bunch of free baklava, which was also way too sweet. Maybe we just had a bad day, or maybe this place is not a meat place. Either way, we were incredibly disappointed by our food, which is unfortunate because others at our table liked theirs, specifically the paella, which again makes me wonder if we should’ve gone down the seafood route. Regardless, we don’t foresee a world where we come back here for dinner should we be in the area again. This place seems good enough that we don’t want to say not to go, but based on our experience, we just wouldn’t again.

Fantastic service & good experience overall. I went in solo for lunch and was seated quickly. Attentive but not overbearing service. Generous pour on the wine, and really good wine. I got gyros sandwich and it was divine, good fries, great meat and pita and tzatziki. I'll be back to try other things. It felt like a very indulgent lunch without being as outrageously priced as some of the more upscale restaurants in Carmel.

Quick and friendly service. Less busy than other places in the area but still good. The first glass of water they handed me was cracked but they changed it as soon as we pointed it out. I didn't love that not all ingredients were listed in the menu. For example, the menu said meat lasagna with shaved cheese on top. And then it came with some cream/aïoli on top of the lasagna, and the cheese on top of that. So when it came I couldn't eat it and had to change plates with my partner - his linguini with clams was good but nothing to write home about.

Came by this place for a light lunch after finding it on Google review. This is a great place with an open terrace and it is so nice to sit outdoors when the weather is cool. Had the hummus which was good. The Thai red curry was very good, not too spicy but with just the right level. The service staff was so thoughtful and split the large dish into two when we said we would be sharing it. This is great initiative and good service. Highly recommend this place for a value lunch and wonderful ambience.

This is a very nice fancy restaurant in the city. The food menu was pretty good they had a lot of items on the menu. I had ordered chicken kabobs and garlic truffle fries. The chicken kabobs for okay. I thought they were a little dry. The ambience was very nice it's a very nice place to go. They also have a patio section where you can take your dogs or pets.

Treehouse Cafe has been one of my favorite restaurants in Carmel--always reliable, consistently delicious, and welcoming. That's why I chose it to celebrate my birthday with a couple of friends and our pups. Sadly, what should have been a perfect evening was tainted by a very entitled couple who made the entire experience far from enjoyable. When I made the reservation, I knew the restaurant allowed dogs on the balcony, so I specifically requested a spot there. While they didn't have availability at my requested time, a gentleman (who I believe was one of the managers) assured me he would do his best to accommodate us later. No problem--I appreciated the effort. When we arrived, we were informed there was no space available on the balcony, but the staff was able to seat us inside, which I was more than happy with. The service was warm and welcoming, and we were ready to enjoy our meal. Everything was going great--until about ¾ through the meal, when my friend's pup let out a few cries from inside their enclosed stroller. Now, here's where things took a turn for the worse. A couple--whom I could only categorize as a "Karen and a Ken"--was seated nearby. I could tell right away they were going to be trouble. Ken immediately started treating the waitstaff terribly, demanding things like "Uh, can we have some bread, can we get service here?!" in a rude, condescending tone. My friends and I overheard his entitled behavior and were already put off by his attitude. Then, once he heard the cries from the pup, both Ken and Karen turned their attention to us. They immediately made a scene, complained to the waitstaff, and even called the manager over. It felt completely unnecessary--after all, the pup was inside an enclosed stroller, and the cries were not disruptive to the point that they should've warranted such a reaction. I lived in New York long enough to know how to handle situations like this, but I bit my tongue because I was there to enjoy my favorite dish--Grilled Seabass over mashed potatoes and spinach--and spend time with my friends, not to get into a confrontation with a couple of entitled strangers. It's unfortunate that some people feel the need to make others feel small just to boost their own egos. It was an unfortunate end to what could have been a wonderful birthday dinner. I love the Treehouse Cafe and will continue to return, but it's a reminder that a few bad apples can sour the experience for everyone

I have made it a point to come here every year for my birthday since I am new to the area. GREAT location and atmosphere where you feel like you are dining on top of a tree (hence the name "Treehouse"). The outdoor deck is warm and well lit which gives a friendly and romantic vibe right from the start! And the staff were all smiles when they led us to the table and took our orders. We were treated like family even though we just showed up and did not have a reservation. And let us talk about how DELICIOUS the food is! Great wine selection and appetizers/main course dishes that not only have a flavourful taste but would also look just as lovely hanging in the Louvre! The chefs go out of their way to make even the smallest garnish adorning your plate to look like fine art. Alex, the GM, came over to us and introduced himself at the end of the night which was very charming! We both had a nice conversation with him too which was a great way to end the evening. If you are in the area, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this hidden gem! - Neil

Charming spot in downtown Carmel with a lovely patio where we enjoyed dinner with our dog. The tables were a little close together, which at first made me feel a bit anxious, but after we settled in, I was totally fine. They thoughtfully offer a doggy menu, which was absolutely so cute, and as dog owners, we love to see that! They started us off with a plate of bread and olive oil. I seriously love when restaurants give free bread, that's an automatic good review from me! I ordered the gyro platter, and my fiancé chose the lamb shank. We started with a bowl of clam chowder and paired our meal with a glass of Coastal Vines Cabernet; both were exceptional. By the way, it was a HUGE glass of wine. The manager personally checked in on us, which I always appreciate! It shows he cares about his restaurant and really added to the attentive and welcoming atmosphere. My gyro plate featured meat that was seriously THICC, very filling and tasty. The accompanying salad was well dressed, though a bit oily, yet still balanced nicely. The rice complemented the meal perfectly. The fiancé loved the lamb shank. It was ginormous and very tender! For dessert, we indulged in the chocolate cake, which was rich and decadent, a perfect way to end the meal. Overall, Tree House Cafe offers a refined yet warm dining experience, especially accommodating to those with canine companions. A delightful find in Carmel.

This is a cute little place in Carmel - where you can sit on the balcony in a cozy setting (the tables are close to each other). They have an incredible selection of wines from Caymus to Daou to Joseph Phelps. The food choices are 'multi' cuisine - we had a clam chowder- very creamy and tasty. Roasted garlic was yum! And a gyros wrap. I was tempted to eat the Thai red curry too - but got stuffed. The staff was very efficient and managed the guests very politely. They have food for fur babies and a kids menu. Have to come back and try other dishes - maybe for dinner.

This is still one of our favorite places to eat in Carmel, but tonight, the service was s-l-o-w. They were doing their best, but they were really slammed. Our food was delicious as usual, but we had to wait a long time for dessert and for the check. The server took the dessert off the bill, which we appreciated. They allow dogs on the patio, as do many restaurants that have outdoor spaces. But the patio seating is so tight that the dog from the next table was almost in my lap. (I do like animals but I also like a bit of elbow room). So next time, I would not choose a busy Saturday evening. Still a good spot.

The food was great, nice cozy place. The one thing that was a little disappointing is that server was taking our plates from us even when we're still eating, ( had to stop him)

My gf and I came here on a cold and rainy day. This was our first time at Carmel, and we are walking around looking for a good place to eat. We climbed up these little stairs and found this place. When we got in, we were greeted by the workers and were seated very quickly. I ordered the seafood pasta, my GF ordered a vegetable pasta and we shared the roasted garlic appetizer. Everything was pretty tasty. My GF really loved the roasted garlic; we could've had just a full plate of garlic and we would've been fine. She did say that her pasta was a little oily but her plate was still clean at the end of the day. I thought my pasta was delicious. Nothing was overcooked, and there was no skimping out on the seafood. The place is a lot bigger than we thought. There is a very small outside area and a dining area to the right of the restaurant when you first walk in. We were seated on their left side of the restaurant. We gave this place four stars because the staff was super friendly and the place was clean. I recommend this spot for couples who'd want a quiet place to enjoy a great meal!

Beautiful setting and everything on the menu is well executed! Surprisingly they pull off very good Italian AND Mediterranean food and their Thai curry is so great. I enjoy the salads especially as their produce is really fresh, but today I was wanting something heartier. The lamb for their gyro is thicker than spit roasted carved lamb, but it is so tender and juicy with wonderful char in the exterior. The french fries are perfect, not to greasy and cut by hand to a perfect thickness. Iced tea game is strong ( 2 refills for me) and service both indoors and outdoor on the patio is fantastic. Clientele is a good mix of locals and tourists. Out of town guests tend to love it. Tree House is reasonably priced for downtown Carmel!

The music is old school R &B and the food is delicious. The waiters are customer service oriented every time and we visit this place every visit.

Food was subpar and uninspired. The food is expensive for the amount that was given (understand that it is Carmel). This place is dressed up as a fine dining experience but the food is far from exquisite. They used the same rice for our seafood paella and for the gyro platter. Ambiance eating outside on the deck/tree house patio was cool though but very crowded. Only plus was that we could bring our pup. Service was nonexistent, no one came to refill any waters. I would not recommend because there are better options.

Excellent food and service. As soon as you walk in you can smell the amazing flavors. The staff was awesome and the wine pours are very generous

This is such a cute little restaurant. We enjoyed our lunch on the patio. We ordered calamari which is not the typical deep fried round squids but this is more of a breaded squid steak. My friend had a lentil soup that she enjoyed. We also ordered a baba ghanouj which had a slight bitter after taste for me. I was not a fan of this dish and would not reorder this again. We immensely enjoyed the Oso Buco, lamb shank braised in red wine, mashed potatoes and veggies. This dish was very filling and quite delicious! Patio was sunny and chill. It was lovely!

Food is on the pricier side. Portion sizes were decent. Chicken pesto pasta came with tender chicken. Seafood pasta was fresh. The salmon had a nice crust with sauce that paired well. Clam chowder was hearty. Dog friendly! Server was attentive.

We had high hopes but left super disappointed. Service was slow and awkward from the start. The space is cramped, the prices are wild, and the food just wasn't good. Fries were bland, hummus was tiny and too lemony, and the chicken tasted like fish. Even the bathroom was a mess. Only nice thing was the dog water bowl outside. Wouldn't come back.

Easy, great food, nice ambience and beautiful location. My mom didn't want pepper and the salmon had no pepper.

Finally got to try this place out and it was just lovely! Such a cute outdoor patio which I highly recommend instead of sitting inside. The food here was pretty delicious ! We ordered the tzatziki dip which was light and not too heavy. Just the right amount before entree. We ordered the bolognese pasta and mushroom truffle ravioli . I loved both dishes! Good quality and loved the flavors! Service was great and had no complaints! I would love to try here again!

Very cute dog friendly restaurant. They have a dog menu. They seem pretty busy for a weekday lunch but we were able to get a table within 10 mins wait. All the staff seemed very happy and friendly, giving such good vibes. We got grilled cauliflower for appetizer and chicken pesto pasta and grilled salmon with mashed potato. Everything was pretty average. A little lack flavor for my taste. Overall i wouldn't come here just for the food but the drink selection, the service and vibes is very nice.

This restaurant is a small gem. It is perfect for eating outside on the patio in good weather or at night under the heat lamps. We tried the yellow Thai curry and it was *fantastic*! It was one of the best yellow curries I've ever had. We also tried the lamb stroganoff. It was excellent. We were blown away. The restaurant is so unassuming but the food delivered so much flavor. We also had the chocolate cake for dessert and shared a glass of wine. All this for just under $100 in Carmel is a great value. I would definitely come back to try other items on the menu!

Super cute place with great food!! Outdoor seating is amazing!! They have outside heaters if it's cold. Great servers and hostess. So friendly. We had baba ghanoush for an appetizer and it was very very good! Decided to try the lasagna for my meal. So glad I did!! It was amazing!! Great flavor and a good portion!! Lasagna and a glass of wine! Perfection!!!

Great place in the middle of Carmel. We sat on the deck and managed to eat between storms. The restaurant is doggo friendly and we had a nice lunch with our pup. Unfortunately we were so hungry we forgot to snap Pics of the appetizers but the bruschetta and Gyro appetizers were delish. We both opted for the chicken pesto sando. They are yummy & served with French fries. Our pup had a ground beef patty and rice. The food is reasonably priced and the service was excellent.

The sea bass was good, the service was prompt and there were a few cute dogs out on the patio. They forgot our bread and the tables were super close together, but overall it was good and quasi affordable for the area.

They serve coke products. Great atmosphere and all around vibe. Ambience and food were great. We were casually walking by on our way to Ocean Ave and because it was very busy and the music was good we were curious as to what was going on. Both the employees and Patrons seemed happy to be there. We had dinner reservations somewhere else at 8:40pm but had 45 minutes to spare so we popped in for the appetizer meatballs and fresh bread with olive oil. Delicious. Will definitely go back for a full dinner.

We come to this area annually for the Monterey Jazz Festival and always stop in this place. We always sit outside where the ambiance is great and highly recommended. There is only one bathroom so there is always a wait for that. The service is always great. But, the food is the main attraction (pics attached). We got a cup of clam chowder for $7 and is probably the best I've ever tasted. We also got the Greek salad ($15) with salmon ($14) which is always amazing. We also got the Gyros Sandwich which is served with French Fries for $20. Also really good. If you're in the area, this is a must try. It's also in good proximity to wine tasting.

Tree house cafe was a great find for a dinner spot to celebrate my brother's birthday! We came in on a Sunday around 7pm without a reservation and they were able to seat us after 10 minutes. To ensure you get a table, I would recommend getting a reservation to be safe since the place did fill up pretty fast. They have a mix of indoor and outdoor seating here and a small bar inside as well. They start you with some bread (which was very good) and for our table we ordered the Chicken Kebab plate, yellow chicken curry, and Chicken Alfredo. The food was all around delicious. I enjoyed a glass of Pinot Noir with my dinner and we loved how cozy the restaurant felt. Our server was attentive and often came back to check on us and refill our waters. Only good things to say about Tree House cafe! I would return again.

seafood pasta, paella, & lamb shank are delicious! the house is very pretty. we went here for a late lunch & it's still packed.. they have excellent service too.

Came for my mom's birthday a few days ago and from the attention to food we loved it! I ordered the prawns pasta with a glass of Sauvignon blanc and enjoyed everything! The pasta is homemade from a pasta shop next door so everything is fresh and delicious! We prefer the tiramisu which was absolutely heaven. They gave us baklava for her birthday dessert as well!

Had the gyro and it was so yummy. We did move inside due to the wind. The service was good and food delicious.

This is a cozy restaurant a little ways down from the main shopping street of Carmel. They have a little rooftop section which was fun to dine at for dinner on a warm summer evening. It truly did feel like a rooftop! Service was excellent and everyone was very friendly. We ordered a few things and overall enjoyed our meal: - Baba ghanoush (4/5): I'm an eggplant lover and really love this dip in general with Mediterranean meals. It was accompanied with pita bread. I give this a 4 because it had oddly bitter aftertaste, something I hadn't tasted before and wondered if maybe the olive oil drizzled on top was contributing to the bitterness. Still pretty good and I cleaned that up! - mushroom truffle ravioli (3/5) : I didn't quite taste the truffle which I was hoping there would be more of. Also, I only got 5 ravioli pieces which felt like a small quantity considering the price. It was also too cheesy for me, but this might just be a personal taste and I won't judge the dish for that - ribeye special: (5/5) my husband ordered this, it was on the special menu for the day. He loved it and absolutely devoured it. It came on a bed of spinach and mashed potatoes - tiramisu (5/5): so delicious! I wanted another. Overall, the restaurant was cozy and I would visit again for the ambiance, but maybe try a nonpasta dish for myself

This is a charming little restaurant and we sat outside on the patio upstairs and it was exactly like we were eating up top a treehouse! It's a little pricey but I love supporting small businesses in Carmel. The food was good quality and the staff was friendly.

Cute little spot in Carmel. The concept of a treehouse restaurant is quite unique and something I haven't seen before. We were seated right away on a Saturday afternoon but it was already pretty busy. We got waters right away. Unfortunately, we weren't served complimentary bread even though we asked for some and the table behind us got some :/ Apps- we ordered the grilled calamari and babaganoush with pita bread. The calamari was steak style and came with tartar sauce, it was quite delicious and wasn't chewy. The eggplant and pita was good but not great. The pita was kind of rough. We also ordered the mushroom ravioli and the chicken pesto pasta. Both were really good and the mushroom ravioli had wild mushrooms that were delicious. It was a bit pricy and not sure if it was worth every dish, but still worth trying!

Wonderful outdoor rooftop terrace to enjoy yummy bites and drinks. Climb up a few flights and see the treetop restaurant with outdoor patio with some heaters if it's too cool. Service was attentive. Started with some bread and superb oil cheese dipping sauce. Clam chowder was rich and thick with good clam texture. The sea bass was flavorful and creamy. It was good. Not the best but tasty. Enjoy!

It's our first time to eat here, and we were glad we did! This is a nice, cozy restaurant. They have a beautiful outdoor seating that feels like you are on top of trees. It was cold that day, so eating outside was not an option. The food here is excellent! We love the Grilled Calamari, Seafood Paella, Mushroom Truffle Ravioli and their Chicken Kabobs. They also gave us this delicious bread and olive oil with herbs & Parmesan cheese that went well with our meal. The service here is great! Our server was friendly and quick. This is a good find in Carmel. Highly recommended!

Amazing lovely experience we sat outside and in the April evening weather it was perfect they had heater lamps. The food was absolutely amazing every appetizer and entree!

Our experience here could have been way better! We started off strong being seated at their cute rooftop patio deck. However, it was very cozy with the tables placed quite close to each other that that it was a bit uncomfortable. Each table's conversation is very audible and if you have children or dogs, it's difficult to manage. The staff coming by to take your order or deliver your food have to weasel themselves between tables to reach you. We ordered the Clam Chowder, which was light and creamy and quite good. The oyster crackers that came with were a bit stale, but the dish itself was a nice starter. I ordered the Yellow Thai Curry which was a hefty $32. You'd expect this to be good given the price and the size of the dish, but it was utterly disappointing. The curry was salty and sour (too much lime) and it was difficult to eat. We witnessed a neighboring table send the same dish back as we were leaving. To be honest, I wish I did that! We also ordered a Chicken Pesto Pasta for $26 which was just okay. No complaints but it tasted like what we make at home, and if that was the case... I would just make it at home? As we are waiting for our food, there were more parties that arrived and got seated. By the time we left, it was a maze to exit because it was compacted with people. It felt really claustrophobic when the tables are full. Overall, it was a poor experience and was not worth the cost at all.

Tree House Cafe is delicious! The restaurant is so cute and quaint too. We sat outside on the patio/roof. it was lunchtime when we went and people were buzzing about. Carmel such a unique city. It's one of those cities where you go at a slow pace, and everyone has a smile on their face. I ordered a beyond burger Greek style. The caramelized onions with the feta cheese was delicious. My sister ordered a cheeseburger, she said it was delicious as well. It was a very hardy protein filled lunch - definitely what we needed. We can't wait to go back!

This place looked very busy when we saw it yesterday so I called for dinner reservations but they were all booked. They recommended we stop by for lunch so we did. The reviews alone would've brought us in. The Greek burger was soooo amazing and fries were perfect. Since being in Carmel I've craved a seafood pasta and this place met my expectations and more. Delightful The waiters were very friendly too!! Cute place

The restaurant itself is so charming and the patio is great when the weather is good. The yellow curry was actually so flavorful and we enjoyed the lamb stroganoff too. Every single dish we saw on other tables honestly looked great so I don't think you can go wrong no matter what you order. The staff is all very nice as well.

Food was good. We ordered seafood paella, chicken pesto pasta, and tiramisu. Service was good. Ambiance was nice.

Hand made pasta and great healthy options at a fair price in a wonderful location overlooking the area. Couldn't ask for more.

I have to say that I LOVE the ambiance of Tree House Cafe, and especially that the chairs are comfortable, as opposed to so many other such establishments. At the same time, I have chronic illness and am gluten intolerant. Sadly, I have twice inquired about ordering a gluten-free pastry treat. On both occasions, they were "out." The other place in town that I've gone to has the most uncomfortable chairs, and the noise is unbearable. However, they do have numerous gluten-free choices. I hope one day, Tree House will improve their service to the gluten-free population.

We ordered lamp pasta Wasn't good and no flavor We only ATE half of the pasta, left all the meat and in the plate. It wasn't that busy at Thursday noon

Great ambiance and great food! Server was horrible like a Dennys server. Table was wobbly, ask him to fix it he just moved us to a different table further away from the heater. I didn't mind about the heater but my girl was cold. How about just fix the dam wobbly table by putting stabilizer or folding a napkins? Got ours apps, 10 minutes later entree comes. Made a comment wow that's quick, probably wanted us out. 5 minutes later as we're eating the entree he comes with main course plates, bro we're already eating. Server probably wanted us out since it's Memorial weekend but we came 45 min before last seating.

Excellent place for lunch or dinner. They have plenty of seating indoors and outdoors! Pet friendly with dog food items on the menu. Pasta, salad and platters all were wonderful.

Dined here on a Monday evening party of 2, and there was plenty of seats/tables available. Indoor and outdoor seating are available, and we chose to sit outdoors since the weather was very nice. Service was great as the servers were extremely attentive and food came out fast. I ordered seafood pasta and my bf ordered red curry with rice. Both items were delicious, even the red curry had some spice to it, which we liked. We also got free dessert since we celebrated our anniversary! Pro tips: 2 hour street parking is available near the restaurant. The restaurant is located above an antique store.

Food Wine Atmosphere Service What a fantastic experience and food. Service itself was okay, but it was incredibly busy so I am more understanding. The food is 3 different cultures but it absolutely works. The quality in everything is delicious and worth it. For sure will come back.

Amazing service and super dog friendly. The ambiance is peaceful and not over crowded with both indoor and outdoor seating. I cannot say enough for the service, so accommodating for all five dogs in our party and attentive to our needs throughout the meal. Really friendly. The food is delicious with a variety of options from Greek, Italian and even some Thai. Strange, but each well executed and delicious. We will be coming back.

Cute restaurant on San Carlos, not far from the heart of Carmel. They have indoor as well as outdoor (patio) dining areas. Their lunch menu was very complete and all three of us got different things that we loved...the lamb kebab was nicely done, although a bit drier than expected, having ordered it medium....the grilled salmon was a large piece of fish, which was tender and moist....the pasta dish was decadent and done perfectly al dente. The service was very good and they allow dogs on the patio deck. Unisex restroom inside is located next to a wine private room that can be reserved for special occasions. A great place for a meal.

If your reading this review, this is your sign to eat at this restaurant! My partner, two young kids (4yrs and 9mo) and I, just had a delightful experience at Tree House Cafe. To start I was a little unsure we would get a table since It was prime dinner time and this appeared to be a nice restaurant, We had just previously been turned away somewhere else for lack of reservation. But we were warmly welcomed by a gentleman who sat us down right away. Brownie points- He noticed my small baby and brought a blanket for the high chair so he would fit better. After we had ordered our dinner, the same gentleman who sat us brought crayons and paper for our daughter and her dinner out sooner than ours (which was timed so perfectly with our borderline hangry toddler) The menu items all sounded tasty, there options from several different cultures (Indian, mediterranean, Italian, ect).. The lamb kebob was catching my eye after seeing some other people order it, large portion, which im sure to try next time. But that night both my partner and I got the steak special. It did not disappoint, it was cooked perfectly, so tender, juicy, and the sauce on top was spot on. I could not believe my eyes at the size of that Ribeye! Largest steak ive ever eaten! It could have easily been two meals, in fact for my partner it was. The only reason it wasnt for me is bc Im a breast-feeding mama lol and really, I didnt need to actually eat it all to be satisfied but it was just so good, I went for it. Well worth the $70 a plate I continued to be impressed after denying seeing a dessert menu (altho I really wanted to because I knew the desserts would be phenomenal after such an excellent dinner) I simply was too full to even think about eating more! Our kids must be cute or something bc they surprised us with dessert anyway- first a beautifully simple plate of 3 bite size squares of flakey, scrumptious, baklava with a gold garnish. Followed up with a plate of the best tiramisus of my life! It was light and fluffy yet a mouth full of perfectly blended flavors. Ill be having dreams about that Tiramisu Overall, we walked away from the night feeling well nourished and taken care of. We were so pleased with the cute atmosphere and oh so accommodating family vibe. Edit: I told you I would be thinking of that cake, so we came back on our last day in the area for lunch before heading home. This time we both got fish plates, myself the local sea bass and my partner the chef special of local sand dabs. Both so delicious topped withe a lemon caper herb sauce and creamy mashed potatoes/ sautéed spinach underneath the fish. We also ordered a lentil soup, yum! and a roasted cauliflower small plate which my 4yr old practically ate by herself. The tahini sauce that goes with it is some of the most tasty tahini Ive had! Again another dessert was gifted to us, this time a deliciously decadent layered chocolate cake with a raspberry (or strawberry) glaze. And of course we ordered the cheesecake and tiramisu to-go. After dinning here only twice, i'm already convinced theres not a menu item I wouldnt like. The quality of ingredients and flavoring of dishes is on par. Whats better than the food, is the staff! all ready looking forward to the next time im back in the Carmel area to come here
