Treehouse Café

"It was a beautiful day and perfect to wait shortly for a table outside. We had an eclectic group of eaters and we all loved our selections. The vegetarian had the burrata to start and then a Greek salad. The gluten free gal had the Greek salad as well and added falafel. I had the chicken kebab that came with saffron rice and a small Greek salad. We all very much enjoyed our selections. The wait staff was excellent and worked as a team. The only slight negative was the saffron rice was just ok it seemed dry. But that is so minor to everything else being excellent. I had plenty of food with leftovers to take home!"

"Went there on a Monday night with 3 other friends. We had reservations and we were seated right away. We had two dogs with us and were seated on the outside patio. There were heaters and it was very comfortable. They have a nice selection of wine by the glass and found a red and white we liked. Wonderful fresh bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar was brought out. Then we started off with the Caesar Salad. A nice generous portion with the usual ingredients. And I had a cup of the chowder. Very tasty, thick chowder full of clams. Our mains were Veggie Pasta which was light and flavorful with fresh basil and olives, Lamb Stroganoff, with very tender lamb over pasta noodles in a nice sour cream sauce, and two specials (from a separate menu). The Seafood Cioppino and Lobster Ravioli. Both were very good. The Cioppino was served in a bowl with assorted local seafood in a wonderful broth. The Ravioli had a subtle lobster flavor in a nice creamy tomato sauce. It was a birthday celebration so we were served two wonderful deserts, a decadent gluten free chocolate protein and a cookie butter banana pie. Both were quickly eaten! On top of the wonderful food, the staff was excellent. Very friendly and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. We never felt rushed either. We had such a good time that we returned the next day for lunch! Wondeful burgers and fries (only served til 4pm). And the same wonderful and helpful staff! If I lived in Carmel I would certainly be a regular. We'll worth a visit!"

"The food at the Treehouse was phenomenal! There was no waiting for a table with enough available seating outdoors on the beautiful and relatively private patio. The meal came promptly and the service was excellent. And of course it was in the perfect location for a quick stop between wine tasting, gallery perusing, chocolate exploring and visual delights. Just the end of a wonderful afternoon 🕊️🤍"
