Tasty vegetarian food and great cocktails! The service was excellent as well, I highly recommend

My boyfriend and I were in St. Louis for a few days and went to Tree House on our first night. It had a friendly vibe and ample seating. But right off the bat was one of my pet peeves: QR menus. Maybe when the pandemic was at its worst, they were necessary, but we've learned to live with it, so let's go back to physical menus. The service was super friendly, with our server training a newbie. We started with the Arepas con Platanos Maduros, a corn cake with veggie crumbles and platanos. They were really good. I'm always up for a dish with maduros, so I was happy to see this. For our main course, my boyfriend got the jambalaya, while I got the mushroom ravioli. He loved his dish. Mine was decent, but unless you love brussels sprouts, you may find them a bit overwhelming. I found myself wishing I'd ordered the katsu sandwich. (They were out of the maitake mushroom dish that looked interesting.) For dessert, we got the dark chocolate and tahini budino, a rich mousse, and the cinnamon bread pudding that was coved in a toasted aquafaba whip that was just divine. If, like me, you don't drink, you'll be glad to know the restaurant has a few zero-proof cocktails. I loved my Smokey Orchard, smooth drink with zero-proof whiskey, apple, rosemary, and lemon. My boyfriend got the Rhinestone Cowboy, which does have alcohol. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would recommend it to folks visiting. read more

Lovely place for dinner. Enjoyed my selections. Our wait staff was wonderfully helpful and efficient, The crab cakes were delicious and paired well with the side salad. My companion enjoyed the brussel sprout salad. We sat next to the front window which we enjoyed. The only negative was at times the noise level was so loud that we could not hear each other across the table. read more

The pancakes were not good. I ordered the blueberry ones. They were very heavy and had no flavor. My grand daughter didn't eat any of hers. We told the waitress and she didn't offer another item or take it off the bill. Our bill was over $220. I wouldn't recommend read more

This place is great, from the vegan food to the atmosphere/ambience, there's nothing not to like. I love the vegan menu and that, on top of that, they have a "specials" menu with vegan selections! The service was, no surprise, also great. My spouse and I had a great time and can't wait to return. We started with the kabocha squash tempura- a special. I had the seitan duck, also a special, and the spouse had the sweet corn and summer squash risotto, surprise, surprise, also a special. It was all good, the risotto was excellent. The duck was prepared with a mole poblano that was a very north of Mexico style preparation, it was still good but I'm not sure I would have identified it as a mole poblano had it not been listed on the menu. It was served with handmade masa cake that was incredible. The seitan was great- great texture, not too dry or gummy, it was kind of perfect. I'd order it again but not for the mole. One would be well advised to go here and eat delicious vegan food. Go often, order many things! read more

This was decent. Finding vegan restaurants that have good flavor can be hard, but this place was not bad. The service was a bit slow (it took them a while to even come and seat us). I tried their Brussel salad (pretty yummy, crispy, warm), and had the seitan "duck" special. The seitan was a bit rubbery but the flavor of the mole sauce was good. Additionally, the masa cake was a fun texture, and the apples added a bit of crunch that I enjoyed. The best thing at our table, however, was the pasta dish that my friend got. I believe it was the pasta Florentine, which she chose to have dairy cheese on instead of vegan. It was flavorful, hearty, and delicious. The portion of sausage on it could have been larger, though. read more

I made reservations for dinner date with my husband for 7p on a Thursday evening. When we arrived, we were promptly greeted by our server who was very friendly and told us we could seat ourselves anywhere we wanted, even offering to clean the recently vacated table by the window. There was a QR code in the table to view the menu. Our server came by with waters and told us about the specials. We decided on the hush puppies, krab rangoon and the fried beets, to start. OMG...the fried beets were absolutely amazing!! The krab rangoon were really good, as well and the dipping sauce was a great addition. I'm not a huge fan of hush puppies, so I can't really say a lot about them. They were okay. After our starters, we decided to share a big plate of wild mushroom stuffed ravioli. It was good, but the sauce was very rich so sharing was the right way to go. The ambiance was good, service was great and the food was delicious. Being new to the Vegan scene, I was very pleasantly surprised with the elevated dishes. A note to non-vegans, you are not going to get food that tastes just like non-vegan versions...it's a culinary twist that offers new and interesting flavors. As a huge foodie, I am able to appreciate the flavor profiles and the artistry In recreating the dishes to accommodate dietary preferences and restrictions. Bravo, Tree House! read more

From the moment we arrived for dinner, we felt welcomed by the congenial host, Jackson. We enjoyed the na beer offering and dined alfresco on their patio in front. It was relaxing and our server Claire tended well to our needs. We ate light but so enjoyed the mushroom special with polenta. Beautifully presented and delish from first to last bite. It made me smile to see the indoor tables filled on a Wednesday nite. The place lit up in applause when Jackson regaled a diner with an operatic version of the happy birthday song. NB: my omnivorous mate loved the food too! read more

The food is great. Everyone in my party loved their food. But at least mine felt there was something missing. In my case with the Wild Mushroom Ravioli it was the that the Brussel Sprouts needed a bit more roasting, but for sure some salt in it. The cause as well could have had some (or if it did stronger) ingredient to counteract thr cashew cheese I believe. Service was great plus they came and told us their was a full rainbow outside and offered to take pictures of us. The reason why it drops from 5 to 4 isn't about the food. You have to view the menu via a QR code, which doesn't even take you to the menu to but homepage of their site. While other say you have to order through it the waiter took our order. But if your making people go online, put a picture of the plate. Finally, they don't accept Amex. Yes they charge more in interests. But that's part of doing business. I would come back here without a doubt if I lived here. read more

First time here. I loved the plantain's! The fried vegan chicken sandwich was really good. My meat eating boyfriend liked it. The vegan Cuban was okay. The potatoes and salad were good sides. The service was great. When we were there, a couple came in not knowing it's a vegan restaurant. The server was very friendly and patient explaining the menu and providing recommendations. After this visit. I returned a few weeks later and got the chicken sandwich to go! I do want to come back to try more of the menu. read more

Tree house is a fully vegetarian restaurant located in tower grove south. While their menu is fully vegetarian, they are able to make parts of their menu vegetarian and gluten free as well. I came to Tree House and ordered their fried chicken katsu sandwich and maduros. It was very busy but our server was as attentive as she could be given the amount of customers that were there. I think the flavor of the chicken katsu sandwich was middle tier. The maduros were fried nicely and coated in a nice drizzle of sauce. Overall I think this is a good option when you're looking for a place that has a variety of vegetarian/vegan options! read more

I've been wanting to try Tree House for ages, and it completely exceeded my expectations. As a lifelong vegetarian with a love for mocktails, I already knew from their online presence that it would be cute and delicious--but what I didn't anticipate was just how thoughtful, creative, and flavorful every single dish would be. The menu alone had me excited--everything from specialty sauces to inventive entrees like the sourdough Gouda patty melt and Japanese katsu sandwich reads like a love letter to fresh, top-quality ingredients. And the food lived up to it. Every bite felt purposeful and crafted with care. Even my husband, who's not vegetarian and usually a harder sell on plant-based food, was nearly giddy tasting the krab Rangoon and katsu. The mocktails were another highlight--absolutely delicious and perfectly balanced so you can sip and savor them without rushing through. I loved the Café Paradiso, a cozy espresso mocktail that felt perfect for fall, while Micah went for The Holiday, which was bright, refreshing, and fruity. Both were incredible. On top of the food and drinks, the staff made the whole experience even better--genuinely warm, personable, and clearly passionate about walking us through the menu and ingredients. Tree House is a gem for vegetarians, vegans, and honestly anyone who just loves food done right. Can't wait to come back. read more

I've been to Tree House several times. However, this visit was for the brunch menu. Our part of 5 had no problem being seated at 11am on a Sunday. I ordered the Tipsy Dirty Chai for my cocktail and the Southern Benedict (tofu) served with potatoes. Both were excellent. Again, another great experience at this establishment. Service is always great and the food outstanding. read more

I stopped into Tree House on South Grand around 7 PM Sunday for a dinner date. My date wanted to try a vegetarian spot, and while the date itself was forgettable, the food was absolutely not. The meal was easily the highlight of the evening. I'm not a vegetarian by any stretch, but I do enjoy trying new things. We started with the kabocha squash tempura (a special) and it was fantastic. I also ordered a Café Paradiso, an espresso mocktail, which hit the spot. For dinner, I went with the Jambalaya with cornbread and it was OUTSTANDING. If you didn't know it was meat-free, you'd never guess. The depth of flavor was impressive, and the cornbread was the perfect pairing. I'll absolutely be back... just with a different date next time. read more

This was a great find! Had the yummy cauliflower special with romescu sauce, the Brussels sprouts which were so divine my mouth is literally watering thinking of them, the pasta florentine, which was very nice and creamy with the "sausage", and the only thing that wasn't quite as good, the hush puppies (pretty heavy and flavorless, with a sauce that didn't add to them). The drinks were so good, too. Loved the mojito with, I think, pomegranate in it. I don't remember, but it was so delicious! It was a fabulous dinner, and I will definitely be going back soon! The area has some fun shops, so next time I might come early and browse around. You can eat outside on a nice patio. Friendly staff, too. One of the best restaurants in St. Louis so far, and I'm pretty picky. read more

I'm not a vegetarian but I do eat many vegetarian meals. This is an enjoyable, satisfying meal and you won't feel like something was missing. When in the area, I'd happily eat here again. It is an attractive, casual dining atmosphere and the service was properly attentive. read more

I can comment only on the service that my wife and I received today. We were told abruptly no when asked if a paper version of the menu was available. We followed the procedure and had decided on two entrees. The waitress brought glasses of water, and came back to top off the glasses. She never returned, and seemed to us to avoid us from that point on, busying herself with several activities that were clearly not urgent. We just got up and walked out. I haven't done that in a very long time. Mark Shiffler Lincoln, NE read more

Still great. The bread was a little bit, overpowering for the sandwich, but once I took the top off, I was good. I love how this place has quite a selection of nonalcoholic cocktails to choose from. The service is always top-notch, though the acoustics are actually pretty bad. read more

Y'all, the food lacked any trace of heat, salt, acid and fat. First and foremost, I am a vegetable lover and when I eat out at any restaurant, I'll always order a veggie dish because I love to see ways that chefs highlight the wonderful flavors and qualities of greens and legumes. I also frequently eat vegetarian and vegan substitutes, and that being said, I was hella disappointed. We got a few plates and besides the obvious lack of flavor, everything was a mushy-ish texture, and felt like it just glided down your throat. The ravioli felt and tasted raw and lacked that "wild mushroom" flavor like it was listed. Idk if vegans really eat like this cause it was all poorly seasoned and I think they really disrespected Vegetables. How can you not highlight some wonderful veggies but instead focus on cheese and meat dupes only? Big Plump doesn't want fake cheese, I want Vegetables to be respected and honored. ((I'm kinda over the QR code ordering honestly, it makes the place feel cheap and not in a good way)). Everything needed salt and lemons. If jays was open, I would've shuffled my plump self over there for some lemons. Service was fine but it felt like they were annoyed that we were there. There were only like 4 other tables and it was not as busy as usual but they made us feel like we were bothering them. The ambiance was mid for real, the lights were very bright, but the look out into the street with Jays in the background is perfection don't get me wrong. But inside it was just too damn bright. And I thought I would break those lil plastic chairs. read more

Yum! I'm not vegan but this restaurant packs the punch with flavor! Thoroughly impressed that a full vegan restaurant has so much to offer. Thats my bad! Our servers were amazing! From answering any questions we had to making sure our coffees were full! I loved that the area is full of natural light, definitely makes it feel bigger. Not the best for groups but they could probably make it work. Fun environment! Only downfall is the no WiFi. But I can deal. read more

Tree House Restaurant on South Grand in St. Louis was established in 2013 and offers a fantastic option for vegans and vegetarians. It's challenging to be strict vegan without getting a little bored. This spot can assist! Went for brunch. While I'm no longer vegan, I appreciate the creativity and ingredient excellence at this spot. I recently enjoyed their Desayuno Latino, featuring a black bean and vegetable stuffed masa cake with flavorful house-made sauces and perfectly cooked eggs, accompanied by breakfast potatoes. The trendy atmosphere, full bar, and friendly, quick service make it a must-visit spot. Overall, a bright and cheerful gem offering a great vegan option in our community. read more

I come here to see if it gets better. Because it's not that the food is necessarily bad, it just almost always tastes as if it's missing something. There's not much on the menu that doesn't require me to spice it up at home. I've had the brunch and the dinner. The service is ALWAYS great here. There also aren't many vegan restaurants in the STL area with this style which is why I will keep coming back, but I would love to always enjoy the menu along with that. Hopefully you all take this into consideration. read more

Delicious! Large portions, reasonable prices and amazing food. I am highly impressed by the flavor and menu selections of this restaurant. Ordered during brunch: Fried Beets (A+), had a pleasantly surprising heat profile. Unfortunately they were sold out of cinnamon rolls. Biscuits and Gravy (A+), far too many vegan spots miss out on the opportunity of selling this breakfast favorite. I did not need to add seasoning to ANY of my food. I just knew that the potatoes would need something, and after the first bite realized they were perfect. Tofu scramble, gravy and beets were all memorable and perfection. Can't wait to return! read more

Had lunch there today for the very first time, and the experience left me feeling torn... Some background: I'm not vegetarian or vegan, but I'm always open to trying new foods, and coming from an asian background, I'm used to dishes wihout meat, though very rarely have I eaten meat substitutes, i.e., seitan "meat", chick'n, beyond/impossible burgers. We wouldn't normally eat at a vegetarian restaurant, but were meeting family there who were visiting St. Louis - they are vegan, and had heard good things about Tree House and wanted to go. That said, I really enjoyed the food! My husband and I split their gouda patty melt + egg, with a side of potatoes. It was my first time trying a beyond burger and I really enjoyed it! My husband, who is less into vegan/vegetarian "meats", enjoyed the meal as well. We also ordered two mocktails, which were great - it was tempting to just chug them down lol. The waiter we had was nice - he was attentive, quick to refill our waters and brought out an extra plate for us immediately when requested. Considering we were seated outside, this was particularly impressive - i've had many experiences with slow service because of wait staff getting held up serving their inside tables (although I don't know what the inside was like today, or if it was particularly busy in the afternoon). He seemed friendly when we did interact with him! Here's where I wasn't particularly impressed: To order, we were required to scan a QR code at the table and then order through their online app, like you would a to-go order. I guess if you don't have a cell phone with you, they might have menus available, but we didn't get a chance to ask. The app itself was clunky. We had to pass the phone back and forth, as ordering on separate phones would mean each person having to pay their own bill, which was disappointing, as we had intended to pay for the entirety of the bill, but ended up splitting the check simply because our companions ordered on their phones, and we ordered on my husband's. Ordering through the app meant very little interaction with the waiter. The fact that you pay as soon as you put in your order, and it asks for tip then, makes it hard to justify tipping 20%. If you tip less, and you find that your interaction with the waiter (brief as it may end up being) has left you wishing you could tip more, you better hope you brought cash (we, regrettably, didn't), because it didn't appear that there was any way to do so through the app once the order was finalized. The whole experience, unfortunately, left us kind of regretting going... Which was sad, as our company had been excited to try it. We want to support our local businesses as much as we can, but if the online ordering system is a permanent thing, I don't know if we will be returning in the future. read more

The Brussels and slaw appetizer was delicious with an amazing sweet and citrusy dressing. The fried crab cakes were pretty great, it was very close to tasting like crab but also had amazing depth and profile. The staff was nice and ambiance is cute. Would totally return. read more

Tree House is a great spot for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores! Lots of flavorful food and a great variety of healthy, tasty options. I loved the apps and drinks we had here but likely wouldn't have my main dish here! Our waitress was super nice, attentive, and helpful. I would recommend reservations as it filled up pretty quickly and was a bit noisy! They also have an outdoor patio We started with drinks which were all very refreshing! I got the spicy pineapple margarita which was on their happy hour menu, the perfect amount of spice! We then shared appetizers - the dumplings weren't my favorite but I loooved the gnocchi, Brussels sprouts salad, and jackfruit dishes. I would go back just for those! My friend and I both got the mushroom ravioli with Brussels sprouts - unfortunately neither of us liked it at all. The Brussels sprouts were too salty (the appetizer Brussels sprouts dish on the other hand was delicious, flavorful) and the cream sauce had a strange coconut flavor. Wouldn't get it again... The cacio Pepe was good, peppery and had a great Parmesan. We opted for the vegetarian not vegan version. The pasta Florentine was really good - had some spiciness and an exciting flavor. read more

Wow! This place was amazing. It started off with great service from Harmonye and we also were seated right away from making a reservation through the yelp app. The bar was looks so fun and everything about the restaurant felt really intentional. We had fun looking at the microscopic photos. The food looked so good and smelt even better. I got the hash with over easy eggs and the sauce was nice and bright.
