- KKateNashville •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoDinner was artistic perfection! They are constantly reinventing their octopus dish, and it is always one of my favorite dishes. Also a must is the broth, with complex flavors. The lighting’s warm glow on one of the longest nights of the year was so cozy and intimate.More infoPeninsulaPrice: Expensive• Modern European• East Nashville•4.9
- AAaronNashville •10 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoMy wife and I always revisit our first date that we had at Treehouse during the holidays! Treehouse is a cozy and quant neighborhood staple in 5 points. This year our visit was nothing short of spectacular. The holiday decor was fun and definitely set the mood, and our service was welcoming and friendly. Our waitress, Kaytee had fun recommendations and was very hospitable. One of the things I love about a tentative server is that they don't interrupt conversation and they are perceptive enough to know when to get orders in and ask if we need another beverage. We started with the brussels sprouts, burrata, and chickpea fries. The brussels sprouts had a good flavor with a little kick, but the highlight of the appetizers was definitely the chickpea fries. Interesting flavor, and if you love tzatziki you will love this dish! For our entrées I did the pork chop, and my wife did the scallops. The scallops were definitely an appetizer so not a full dish, which was fine for my wife. My pork chop was cooked to perfection and very tender (could cut it with a butter knife). The wine selection is always on the smaller side, but they do keep the choices interesting and good for food pairings. We definitely miss the gourmet ice cream sandwich being on the menu for dessert, but we did the Coconut Panna Cotta, and it was a nice lighter dessert to compliment the cordials. Always a lovely evening at Treehouse. Thank you :)More infoThe TreehousePrice: Expensive• American• East Nashville•4.7
