Treehouse Cafe

Went on a fall evening. They had area warmers and a nice atmosphere. Ate soup, tzatziki, yellow curry, and bolongaise. Mostly good, well crafted flavors, but the curry was kinda salty like it was scraped from the bottom of the batch. Bolongaise had tons of veggies like it was part ratatouille. Pretty yummy otherwise!

We spotted this place when walking around and it looked so appealing with seating on a rooftop and beautiful lights all around! We came on labor day weekend with no reservations and they kindly fit us in a table for two! The service was great (family run) and food was delicious (the lamb kabob cooked on medium was perfect and it was so tasty)! We sat on the rooftop and it was beautiful with the flowers, lights, and Carmel’s amazing weather!! I just wish the table was scooted slightly away from the ledge where I saw a spider. We ordered the clam chowder (very good) and the lamb kabob plate (a healthy and tasty balance). Their bread with olive oil was also very yummy! Pricing is pretty expensive (but most of the restaurants are here). We appreciated how friendly the staff was and they asked how our meal was afterwards as well.

Stopped by this cute Treehouse when we were on their way to LA. Probably one of the best impulsive decisions we've ever made, as we just went in because of its look. We were sitting at the outdoor dining area, like the patio of our own houses, nice and easy, a very nice way to appreciate the ambience of Carmel. Food was food, but the services were just awesome, you'll be treated as VIP.

Food was good and service was OK but a bit slow. Maybe because of the crowd. We had Thai food and Mediterranean starters and both cuisines were to the mark. Red Thai curry was a bit too sweet for my taste but the others in the group found it OK so opinion on that is divided. I am not saying I didn't like it but I would have relished it more if it were a little bit less sweet.

The staff is very welcoming and friendly. They served me a delicious free bread and oil/balsamic dip, but it was seriously the best dip like that I've ever had. The wine and the meal were awesome as well. Service was quick and the owner and waiter were both very friendly and helpful. The inside and outside are both very pretty.
