    Birthday note.
    Angie C.

    I've been wanting to get here for quite a while, and found it to be a truly lovely, memorable experience. This is not your average day/evening out. You're probably here for some type of special occasion, because it is certainly pricey. I decided to splurge for a friend's birthday for brunch, which runs $95 per person and includes a mimosa. The same friend has visited a number of Frank Lloyd Wright houses with me, from this PA region to New York to Illinois, so it felt like the perfect place. I made a reservation on OpenTable and indicated that we had one vegetarian (myself). The restaurant followed up to make sure there were no other notes they needed to know, and also to see if I wanted to add anything on. You can add things like rose petals on the table and a single rose to the celebratory person, wine options, or an individual-ish celebration cake. I decided to add the celebration cake, which costs $20 and serves two people. There is a main restaurant, but the special experience this place has certainly become known for are the individual dining pods, which are out in the trees but well screened from any weather. There are heaters and fans available in your pod. It is a truly lovely private dining experience. You can just slightly hear conversations of other diners in nearby pods if you listen very hard, and there is piano music playing on speaker, which is instrumental version of popular songs like Britney Spears, Shakira etc. We found this funny but simultaneously enjoyed it. They had nice little touches like a Happy Birthday sign on the wall and an embossed happy birthday note for the birthday person to keep, and brought out chilled plates for a dessert involving frozen custard. It was nice attention to detail that reminded you this is a special dining experience. Service is attentive but unobtrusive and wants to make sure you are happy with your experience. Onto the food. The mimosas were already on our table when we arrived. Our server indicated they were sending out a complimentary amuse-bouche from the chef, which was an individual vegetable stuffed mushroom. It was delicious and a nice starting note. Then came the appetizer, a smoked burrata with pita, arugula, grape tomatoes and an edible orchid. Everything is so beautifully presented here, and just delicious. The entrées were crazy. There were two portions each of stuff French toast, potatoes and frittata. Those were all vegetarian and shareable. On a separate board came enough meat for two people to share as well, salmon, pork, sausage and carrots. Since that tray was not for me they also brought me a vegetarian bowl including veggies, chickpeas and quinoa. It was a lot of food and we ended up taking a nice amount of leftovers home from this part of the meal. Everything was wonderfully prepared, with the stuffed French toast probably being my favorite bite. Our server said she would be bringing dessert which I assumed was the celebration cake. But no, there was a French pastry each, presented with some fruit. They have a nice cocktail and cocktail menu and we elected to add an espresso mocktini each with this course. Those were on point and I've missed espresso martinis so much since I've largely given up drinking. After all of this came the celebration cake, which either came entirely or just the frozen custard from Tropical Bungalow, a local business. The Tahitian vanilla flavor was just delightful and the frozen custard was a wonderful texture. It was truly such a feast. We ate every bit of the desserts. One thing I appreciated here is that often when a place is known for the experience, the food is beautifully presented but not always plentiful. That is far from the case here, you are not going home hungry. My total bill came to $252, which included the two $95 brunches, the $20 celebration cake and two $14 mocktails. Adding a tip, I was a little over $300, which is a lot but it is a special occasion. We heard folks talking about staying overnight and looked up more information, and found that you can tour the four homes on the property here, two designed by Wright and two by his apprentice. In reviewing the tours I noted that there are package options, with one offering a tour of three of the houses and lunch at Tree Tops for a total of $75 per person (!). This is an incredible value and I think I would take this option next time, as the houses would definitely be worth touring as well. I look forward to my next visit here.

    Lunch appetizer: burrata and pita

    Tree Tops restaurant serves brunch, lunch, dinner, and a twilight dinner in either private treehouses or a non-private restaurant in scenic woods in the spring through fall. The menu items and prices vary by type of meal. For the treehouses, current prices are $95 per person for brunch, $75 per person for lunch, and $150 per person for a 4.5-course dinner, not including drinks, tax, and gratuity. Dining in the non-private restaurant costs slightly less. Customers choose their drinks and main courses, and the chef chooses the appetizers and desserts. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated. My husband and I ate one lunch at Tree Tops. We started with a strawberry-basil cocktail (5 stars) from the full bar, an amuse bouche of feta-red pepper stuffed mushrooms (4 stars), bread with compound butter (4.5 stars), and an appetizer of pita with burrata (3 stars, hard and oily cheese). My main course was salmon with rice (5 stars), which was cooked nicely and was very flavorful. My husband's main course was chicken with carrots and potatoes (3 stars, needed more seasoning). Our dessert was berry creme brûlée (5 stars), which tasted very good. As for the atmosphere, we enjoyed having a private space, being surrounded by trees, seeing deer, and listening to piano recordings. The weather in late May was chilly, but two space heaters and blankets were available to warm us. Please note that customers may pay extra to tour nearby houses that were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and his apprentice Peter Berndtson.

    Wow, every detail covered. What an amazing place located in an amazing place. Lovely decor and surroundings in the woods. The furnishings, the music.... The full ambience set the stage for the incredible high-quality and beautiful presentations of the food. We start off with a delightful dish of brie with Peter slices topped with raspberries and blueberries with a little bit of honey. A very refreshing start a plate for us that we shared on this very hot day. Next, we had the Mediterranean salad and we added grilled chicken to it. It was such a lovely plating presentation that we would gingerly taking the food out of the bowl little by little as to not disturb the way that the chef had prepared the plate. It was so fresh so tasty so light and perfect this warm day. See our lovely food photos

    My husband and I dined for our 25th anniversary, was recommended by a friend. We chose the five course dining experience which included a glass of sparkling wine and tour at the beginning of the experience. The restaurant is located in Polymath Park and grounds surrounding the restaurant are beautiful! Service and food were impeccable. Every course was more delicious than the last. Dessert was included and we also ordered a celebration cake for our anniversary for an additional fee. We were greeted at our table with congratulations for our anniversary and they even gifted a beautiful anniversary card. Definitely a beautiful special occasion type of restaurant.

    Some may feel it's pricy but the experience is so worth it. We were able to select our main course and were provided with a choice of salmon, chicken, portobello ravioli and a veggie mix. We opted for the salmon and ravioli, both were delicious! The atmosphere was completely peaceful and serene. Calming music and birds were the only things I heard. So relaxing! Our server was knowledgeable, accommodating and helpful. What a wonderful all around experience.

    It was a beautiful early fall day to visit treetops with a friend for brunch. I loved the soothing sounds of the back ground music while seated in our outdoor tree hut viewing polymath park. We had the option to turn on a heater and lucked out that the temperature wasn't too cold or too hot. The service was top notch. We started out with a water bite, followed by a fresh salad, then the main course and dessert. The menu changes per season and direction of the chef. I highly recommend to any one visiting the area. I know I want to visit the area again the tour a park followed by a lunch at treetops.

    You turn on a residential road wondering if you're sure the GPS is leading you to this hidden retreat. Like other reviews mentioned, you are paying for the experience of dining in an adult treehouse. Thankfully it was a big plus that I quite enjoyed my food and service by Emily was welcoming and informative. We went on a gorgeous warm Saturday day in the middle of September for brunch in one of the private treehouse dining pods. It's a drive from Pittsburgh but you can make a fun-filled day of it by touring the Frank Lloyd Wright (and his apprentice) homes of Polymath Park. Or exploring the beautiful woodlands on public trails in the area for more time enjoying nature and the fresh air. Autumn is the best time in my opinion to visit so book early as it's a popular weekend destination. Tip: GPS navigation avoid unpaved Ridge Road rather take Claypike Road to residential Dillion Road only.

    In the treetops, FLW style

    After spending the morning touring houses designed to live in nature, what better place to sate one's hunger than among the treetops in a restaurant inspired by the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright? The ambiance alone would have been enough to bring me joy. I was overwhelmed by the quality of the food! My very busy server set a plate of warm bread with truffle butter in front of me with a little smile, as if to say, "wait till you try this!" Oh my goodness! So delicious! Then my chicken Marsala came with grilled veggies and steamed rice. It truly was the best chicken Marsala I've ever tasted! The sauce was spot on, but what put it over the top was the chicken itself: flavorful without being salty, and cooked through but not overly over cooked. It was tender and juicy! FLW himself would have been proud!

    We did the holiday progressive tour and it was lovely. So well done and every stop was so special. The final meal was really good. The service was great and the restaurant was so festive for the holidays. Cozy, warm and filled with holiday decor. My only complaint is that the wine list does not match the level of fine dining that you would expect. They don't even offer sparkling wine by the glass. That was a disappointment. The wine list is a disappointment overall.

    Came back for a birthday dinner, dining in the new to us tree house table units. Really a cool concept - your own private treehouse that's protected from bugs and weather, while still delivering one on one service. It was a set menu which we had to pick ahead of time - and came for our reservation a bit early - which is rare. Killed time at the bar and ordered a couple of drinks - mine an old-fashioned. The old-fashioned was very good, and the presentation the smoke on top. We were taken to our tree house and were brought out bread and a watermelon slice compliments of the chef. Bread was really good as I came starving. The next course was a shareable summer plate with burrata - which broke the streak of recent places we have eaten at that have over thought the dish. Here they just allowed the ingredients to take over and it was very good. The next course was a summer salad that came with a honey lavender dressing. The salad was very good but the dressing wasn't my favorite. The main course was a filet with potatoes and carrots. The steak was cooked properly to temp and the sauce served on top was succulent and very good. For dessert, individual servings of a pudding type item was served and was good enough. I liked this - would like to return and try other menu items.

    Service was amazing. Very attentive.. ambience is spectacular.... Great experience. A little pricey but worth the experience. The wife and I went for our anniversary.

    The Tree Tops Restaurant is an experience like no other! I'm giving this restaurant 5 stars for the experience alone! My husband took me here for my birthday, and it was such a special and wonderful day. You MUST get your own treehouse pod. It's private and perfectly placed in the middle of the woods. Our reservation was from 5 to 7 PM, so we got the best of both worlds. We were able to see the landscape and take pictures in the sun, but we were also able to experience it getting dark as well for a more intimate vibe. As I mentioned, I was celebrating my birthday, so upon entering our treehouse pod, there was a Happy Birthday sign! It was a great extra special touch. The meal contained 5 courses, which included the softest bread I have ever tasted! I also really loved the added touch of the birthday creme brulee! The food was really good and flavorful but nothing auper special. I enjoyed every course, so I can't complain. This restaurant is something that you have to experience at least once. It's very pricey so it's not something you can do all the time, but its a great place to celebrate a special occasion in an intimate setting!

    Went here for my birthday lunch. We did the pod experience which is a private treehouse/hut that you and your guests eat at privately. The branch dining experience is the actual restaurant that is inside where you eat with everyone. You must have a reservation to eat here which can be found on their website. We wanted to do dinner but they were booked. After you book your reservation, the restaurant will email you a menu where you pick your entree and tell them of any dietary restrictions. We picked the butternut squash and the salmon power bowl. Lunch is 3 course (appetizer, entree, and dessert). Our entree was delicious it was some kind of cheese with mushrooms on top and pita bread. You are also served a loaf of fresh baked bread with 2 types of butter. Our butter flavors were chives and truffle (so delicious). The butternut squash entree was so good and filling. It came drizzled in some type of oil. It wasn't too sweet and was very tasty! The salmon power bowel was DELICIOUS. The salmon was cooked to perfection and had no bones. The dessert was a cup of crème brûlée. It was rich and sweet but not overwhelming. The staff was so kind. I cant say a bad thing about our server. She was very professional and quick to get us anything we needed. We got a bottle of Riesling and the gin cock tail (empress of the moon). The cocktail was actually tart and aromatic. The combination actually went really well together. Overall, we will be going back! It is good for special occasions.

    Bread- soft and warm.

    I spent a long day tooling around the Laurel Highlands and wanted to get back to Pittsburgh before…read moredark. However, since I was touring a few Frank Lloyd Wright houses, I had not eaten since my early morning continental breakfast at the Comfort Inn in Connellsville. Mindlessly following the Google Maps directions, I arrived in a town called Indian Head and didn't have any expectations about what I'd find in this family-friendly roadside diner. Without hesitation, I ordered the $13.99 Grilled Chicken Salad. I was quite impressed with what arrived. There were huge pieces of grilled chicken breast, tender and moist, with cucumber, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, onions, beets, shredded cheddar, and a pickled egg with ranch dressing on the side (Photo 9). Sounds basic, I know, but it was hearty, fresh, and genuinely satisfying. Midway through my salad, a plate of fries arrived (Photo 10). I wasn't expecting it, but the server apologized for the delay. I only noticed later that the fries were mentioned in the menu. I certainly didn't mind because they were hot, tasty, and not at all greasy. Even though I was getting full and kinda anxious to get going, I was rather hypnotized by the refrigerator of freshly made pies. I just couldn't help myself and ordered a $4.29 slice of Banana Meringue Pie (Photo 8). I don't think I've had homemade pie that good since gorging at Valois back in my olden grad school days in the South Side of Chicago. What a nice surprise to have such a delicious square meal in a place called Indian Head. FOOD - 5 stars..tasty, reasonably priced diner fare exceeded my expectations AMBIANCE - 4 stars...clean and spacious diner SERVICE - 5 stars...friendly server made a big difference TOTAL - 5 stars...if I'm ever in western Pennsylvania, I'd be back RELATED - Exploring the Pittsburgh area?
