Treehouse Café - Carmel By the Sea

Well?first of all you should know what is ?in the fine print?. There is a 3.5% ?discount? for cash. Who uses cash these days? In this economy? Are you kidding me? The food was really good. I had the lamb kabobs and tried the seafood pasta dish. I am nit a fan of muscles and clams, but I actually like these. Very tender and tasty. Perhaps i do like them, but only tried lower quality ones before? I asked for the lamb medium, but felt it was on the rare side. Still tasted good and I didn?t really mind. The rice and the salad were a bit plain and for the price of the dish i expected more. The staff was friendly and professional. I enjoyed the environment. A nice place for dates. Just don?t complain about the 3.5% ?discount? for cash on a date (unless you don?t want a next date ? .

Not only was the food and service amazing this restaurant is dog friendly which is a huge plus. Nice mix of Mediterranean, American grill and Italian foods. We had the roasted garlic with toast as an appetizer but the house bread comes out with an amazing olive oil, basil garlic and cheese dipping oil. We also ordered the seafood pasta, gyro platter and for dessert the banana bread pudding (yum! . Lovely wine selection. Can?t say enough about this place?cannot wait to return. Again pride of ownership oozes from the employees

The food... EXCELLENT! Dog friendly...YES! Kid friendly, better for 12 and up, but our 8yo enjoyed his meal. The only bad thing was it felt cramped at the table, but wow the meal. It was so good I forgot to take the photo before! Leave bags in your car or at home. BONUS: The beer I had is the best beer I have every had in my life. I search for it everywhere I go and have not had it in 5 years. Oldest beer receipt. So smooth. So good. Worth the $8 a bottle (cheap in my eyes! .

Treehouse Cafe is a definite recommendation Food: absolutely fantastic. They did not miss. From the complimentary bread and oil, to the soup (clam chowder), to the salad, to the entree. Seriously ????????. commentary on the clam chowder: the clam chowder here is some of the best I've ever had, anywhere. When you go, do yourself a favor and get it, because it is delicious! Service: also amazing. Not only were they able to squeeze us in in between reservations but they were prompt with our food, provided recommendations, and we're accomodating of all of our asks and needs. Honestly, it was such a pleasant experience that I'd recommend going any time ??.

Fantastic restaurant with an outdoor seating area! Food is delicious but it can be a little on the pricey side. At the time, it was $42 for a seafood paella and $27 for sea bass, and around mid 20s for pasta dishes lamb Bolognese and vegetable pasta. Service was great, servers were friendly. One of Carmel's beautiful quaint restaurants that's worth a check!
