    In a quiet, cute area, compared to the crowds around town. Loved the ambiance and the variety and range on the menu. Great wine list as well. The paella was amazing, as was the lentil soup. Very friendly staff. Like the rest of town- lots of dogs.

    Food and service outstanding as always. I want to order something different whenever we go but can’t help myself - yellow curry all the time!! Sit outside if the weather permits. Beautiful spot!

    The Treehouse is ALWAYS consistently outstanding. The food is incredible and their wine list is amazing. What also makes The Treehouse so special is the staff. They are so professional and kind. The service is 5 star. A great restaurant in such a charming town. We are so lucky.

    My wife and I went to Carmel Calif. for our Anniversary. We decided on visiting the Tree House Cafe for dinner as we had never been there before on previous trips. We were greeted by the Maitre D' and escorted to a nice outdoor table. The weather was wonderful. Our original waiter was very attentive to our needs and quickly provided us with drinks. I just ordered a sparkling water, and my wife ordered a Matua Sauvignon Blanc. My wife ordered the Yellow Prawn Curry, and I ordered the Ribeye Steak Special. We split a Greek Salad. My wife stated that her dish was outstanding and had just the right amount of spice added. I was disappointed in my Ribeye Steak. The positive was it was huge!!! It came with spinach and mash potatoes. I could not finish it. But it was covered with a peppercorn sauce which disappointed me, and the steak was overcooked and tough. I ordered it cooked Med. but it came almost well done. For $65.00 this should have melted in my mouth. It is definitely a family style place. We had two tables next to us that had young children which sometimes were distracting. So, my review is that this restaurant is above average. The staff is excellent.
