Editorial Review for Tree House Italian Grill – by Susan Kirr
In Short
Walking into Treehouse Italian Grill is something like stepping into an old Italian neighborhood. Second-floor balconies and faux storefronts contribute to the Hollywood backlot effect. Quiet and never too busy, the restaurant seems to cater mostly to families and older couples. A large outdoor patio gives the grill its name, as the deck encircles an enormous live oak. Antipastos are small meals in themselves and hearty daily specials like veal cannelloni keep the regulars coming.

I swear the negative reviewers smoke rock. I've seen negative reviews on CitySearch about the best places and best people in town. This should not be considered remarkable, because I believe people want to see others fail. In any event, the table bread is okay at the TreeHouse. The veal marsala has, by far, the best flavour of any marsala I have had anywhere, and I order marsala whenvever it is available at any restaurant in the country. The New York marsala was not as good as this, the the marsala in Little Italy in Boston was not as good as this. Also, the marinara on the pasta was FABULOUS. In contrast to other psychotic reviewers, the service was really good, and the stone walls of the restaurant were really pretty and romantic.
Pros: Best Marsala On The Planet
Cons: Table Bread Only Fair

I liked the over all look of the place and setting. The food was good nothing to special. I thought maybe they would offer something a little more specials. So yeah no specials. And the manger seemed very aloof or like he was some Italian mobster sent here to hide out. I did not feel welcomed what so ever from this guy.
