If you're going to splurge, this is a great location among the mountains of Laurel Highlands. The patio united me with nature and I could hear the wood peckers near by. Everything was tasteful and my steak was delicious. It came with a scoop of risotto and snap peas. Portion was small as I was able to finish the whole think. I would have enjoyed a bit more risotto. Service by Linda was excellent. Only music could have made this experience better - non obnoxious and low volume. As a DJ, I always think about the right music. New age with some sounds of waterfalls would only enhance the nature experience! read more

I'm sorry to report that this place was an absolute bust. The atmosphere and view were ok at best. The server was very friendly, but the service was extremely slow. We spent 2 hours there from start to finish. The food was awful. The seafood was cooked in burned butter and very chewy. My wife described the taste of the steak filet as funky and disgusting. The portions were very small, cold when they arrived, and not prepared as described on the menu. The coffee was even cold. We left dinner for 2, $150 lighter and hungry. read more

I had to do a lot of soul searching before writing this review. I happened to enjoy Tree Tops at one time, so much so that I brought my sister there in July. She had just drove in from a two day drive from the state of Kansas, and I was so excited to share this place which I considered a gem. The food isn't all that, but the vibe is what I LIKED past tense best. I hadn't seen my sister since our Mother passed in November of 2019, and it was my birthday and we were so happy to be together again. We spent the day enjoying the beautiful weather by the pool at home and we were capping off the day with dinner at Tree Tops. We ordered apps and dinner, we all proceeded to have adult beverages, and after ordering my second drink, in front of a crowded restaurant I was asked and not with any manners at all if I were driving, because they could not serve me anymore drinks. I am a 54 year old Mother of two grown children and I was mortified with their approach. It was embarrassing to say the very least... I might add, I bartended for ten years and could not believe the manner in which I was treated. I cannot recommend Tree Tops any longer as I once have, because to be quite honest, they turned my wonderful homecoming with my sister into a complete embarrassing disaster. I paid WAY TOO MUCH money to be humiliated !! If you have a special occasion, this IS NOT the place to go, unless you want to have your evening ruined, because you just might be having a little too much fun. Shame on Tree Tops, I guess you just cannot cultivate class. SAD SAD SAD !!!!!! You need to train your server and manager in manners and couth because they had neither !!! read more

Excellent restaurant. Wonderful atmosphere. Great food. Great service. The menu is a bit limited, but fine dining in an unusual, pleasant setting. read more

I have been here 2x and plan to return many more, I absolutely love this restaurant so much! The food, atmosphere, and service are incredible. This is a great day trip out of PGH for a nice drive and incredible meal with beautiful views. Whenever someone comes in town to visit from my home state In southwest this Is on the list. The scallops & carpaccio appetizers are a must, i had incredible steak salad, + the pour over coffee with all the appetizers are a must as well!! I also have to say our server Alicia, was so pleasant and truly attentive & anticipated our needs, same goes for my first experience here with the server who has bangs and dark hair (sorry I have a terrible memory lol). They must do some really thorough training but not so much that it feels not genuine or scripted. This is truly my fave restaurant in all of PA so far. Plus they have great music playing. Anyways go here. It's sooooooo delicious read more

Wow- Amazing experience from the friendly staff, amazing food and handcrafted cocktails. Loved !!! The place is nestled away in the woods, which makes a beautiful backdrop for the outdoor seating and indoor. The staff was pleasant and knowledgeable. The food was top notch and you knew was prepared fresh. Cocktails were handcrafted with fresh fruit. We will definitely tell everyone about this hidden gem and will be back. read more

There is much to recommend this restaurant, which is associated with Polymath Park - a privately owned assemblage of Frank Lloyd Wright houses.. The outdoor setting quite literally among the treetops -- magical at night and surprisingly bug-free. A very pleasant and welcoming and professional wait staff. Above all, that this place may be the single restaurant open for lunch and dinner on Mondays and Tuesdays within a 20-mile radius of Donegal - despite a number of tourist attractions. However, the wine list is severely limited for a restaurant that aspires to "fine dining." (They do allow customers to bring their own wone, as we did, for a modest corkage fee.) The major fault is that the relatively small menu is an example of ambition outstripping ability to accomplish. For example, the beef carpaccio was nothing like classic dish, being composed of chunks of seared meat atop chunks of bread with parmesan shavings and truffle oil (ugh!). Caesar salad was enormous romaine leaves, grilled, and served with more parmesan shavings but the bland anchovy-less dressing underneath (?) and no croutons. Alongside a seafood and a chicken entrée, filet is offered four ways with some silly sauce options. We opted for "mushroom risotto" as an accompaniment and received plain unadorned long-grain white rice. Nothing we had was in anyway inedible or unpleasant - just disappointing. This place has so much going for it (lack of competition being most notable) if only it would abandon pretensions it cannot live up to and just serve good honest food within the capabilities of the kitchen. read more

We had dinner as part of our tour of place. It was a fixed menu with choice of three entrees. The food was very good Individually prepared despite the fact that we had been on a tour. They have a full bar so you can order a cocktail if you want more than wine provide. As good as the food is better is the service. The staff was helpful. Attentive and very accommodating. I recommend even if you aren't going on the tour. Better yet because you can order off full menu. read more

The setting was a complete let down, most descriptions promote this as a unique experience of dining in the tree tops. It feels like a house sitting in the woods, absolutely lackluster. The service was amazing but the food, subpar. If you're looking for a unique experience and great food, I'd recommend somewhere else. read more

This was such a refreshing restaurant. The ambiance was amazing from the second we walked in. They had a gentleman playing guitar for the intimate indoor space when we arrived, which perfectly set the mood for this charming dining experience. I had the espresso filet, mushroom risotto and mixed vegetables, while my Significant Other had the prosciutto chicken. Both dishes were to die for. The cocktails were strong, which was appreciated. It did take quite a while to get our appetizer and drinks, but with such a small restaurant, that's to be expected. I would highly recommend this place for a nice evening out. read more

Excellent food. Ambiance is nice. I would call this a hidden treasure. It is a little off the beaten path but worth the effort! A little pricy but certainly not outrageous!! read more

This is such a special place! We had lunch before visiting the Duncan House, etc. Great service, great food, great ambiance. A must if visiting Polymath Park. Great sand which, wine, dessert, soup... but one of the hi-lights was the coffee! Fresh pour method at the table! Owner blends the beans and it was awesome. read more

I was so sad with my experience here. I made reservations 2 months in advance for my birthday for a "treehouse" experience as depicted in a newspaper article. We drove over an hour to get there all to be seated in the corner of the restaurant not anywhere near a window. When I asked if we could sit near a window, we were told other reservations specifically requested the table next to a window and that they were totally booked outside. We sat there for 2 hours watching no one fill the table we requested (they told us that reservation never showed up) and saw empty seats outside. We literally had the worst seats in the restaurant and stared at close to 30 open seats that would have been better. I would have hoped that they could have worked with us a little and tried to find a better location to dine. The staff and owner were very friendly and the food was delicious, but the entire point of going was for the ambiance and being in nature while dining which was severely lacking read more

One of my favorite restaurants! Tree tops is a word of mouth... No advertisement restaurant.... They are one of the best restaurants in Westmoreland county.... I've had their flaming steak in a hot pan and it was fantastic! Risotto was so so good... Lots of cheese in it. Broccoli had a great Smokey flavor to it... Everything had so much flavor! Really enjoyed it! The restaurant itself is very creative as well.... Has an Asian feel to it.... Big windows so you have the feeling like you're eating outside.... Fireplace.... Small and quaint.I would highly recommend checking this place out.... Will definitely be back again! read more

Went here with my family twice. The food is excellent and the service is fantastic! Our steaks were perfectly cooked, and the appetizer was delicious. We were welcomed with a bruschetta, completely complimentary! I would strongly recommend it to anyone in the area! read more

Exceptional food. Everything was great from the appetizers to the dessert, including the drinks. Appetizer: I highly recommend the Kasseri Cheese ... served flaming with a side of zucchini/veggies. Outstanding. Entree: we had chef's specials seafood and medallions and seafood (crab, scallops, shrimp) again ... outstanding! Tremendous! Dessert: cheesecake and coffee. Both very good. It is really nice to have a place where you know the meal is going to be great... it is a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. read more

Wow. What a find. Can't believe this GEM of a place has been around for years and I'm just now learning about it! It was the perfect location for the most perfect night. We chose to sit on the deck which made you feel like you were nestled in nature- it was beautiful. The food was fantastic. I had the filet and it was prepared perfectly- no steak knife needed :) make sure you save room for the Lemon cake... DELICIOUS. The service was wonderful. You can tell that it is a family owned and operated establishment. They go above and beyond to make your experience enjoyable. I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed. I surely wasn't :) read more

ate there a couple weeks ago and sorry to say we were disappointed in the selections of food and the portion and the attitude of the hostess We got a table outside You didn't have any heaters on it It was freezing came inside and it was like we felt like we were bothering you and to get three little fingerling potatoes and a little piece of meat such a disappointment It's in a very beautiful secluded area but you need to change your chef ‍. After I inbox this restaurant and told them about my experience they blocked and deleted me so for anyone that wants to go here it's a very nice atmosphere but there's very little selection of food the hostess is the daughter of the chef she's very rude and there's not a whole lot of selection and very little portions they won't call me they won't ask me what happened they just block me very unprofessional ‼ read more

What a lovely evening. We stayed at FLW-designed Duncan House just down the road (you could walk it, but take a flashlight). Our server, Linda, was delightful. She made sure that all the dishes that we ordered met my dietary restrictions. The bread was fantastic, made better by the flower pot serving dish. Wine was very reasonably priced. The menu is large enough to accommodate a variety of tastes, but not so large that you are left wondering what the house specialties are. The view is wonderful, as one would expect. The seats are quite comfortable. Ambience is just fancy enough for a night out, but not stuffy. Highly recommended. read more

I was told to come here after being at Ohiopyle... just wanted to have a drink maybe a snack. Was rudely told its reservations only. Well maybe that needs to be more clear & if not don't advertise as something go do when visiting the area. Very disappointed. read more

This place is the best of both worlds - great food AND atmosphere. Tree tops is a hidden gem worth the drive!

Decent atmosphere inside but nothing special. We sat on the deck with a beautiful view of the Laurel Highlands. Much better. I'll update my stars once we've eaten our food. We had it packed up because we waited for an hour to have it served. The humus appetizer was delicious though. For the price, I'd expect better service. read more

We had a wonderful lunch at Treetops last Saturday - the porch was a lovely environment to have a nice break between Fallingwater and Duncan House tours. we had salads and sandwiches. my chicken salad was beautiful - i took a photo, Its true you eat with your eyes. my husband had a grilled ham and brie - and was so surprised that despite its generous portion size - it was light and fabulous. we had a great fresh pour coffee - fine china cups- quite a splurge! read more

We were in town (Thursday, June 11th, 7:30 ish) on an overnight trip to Fallingwater and as soon as we found this place online we decided that we had to head on over for a meal. Though we made a reservation through Open Table, the restaurant had no record us; however, they were happy to seat us anyway. This place was very cozy, but we were the only patrons in the inside dining room. The outdoor dining space was full of people, but it was right around dusk we didn't want to be bombarded bugs (no outside seemed to be complaining about this, but we're bug-phobic city people!). We ended up at a table along the window. I did not care for the chairs (though my friends thought they were comfortable) and opted for the window seat. It was comfortable but pretty tall and my legs dangled quite a bit and I was ready to have my feet back on the floor by the end. There was only one server working all of tables, but she was very friendly and worked tirelessly to keep everyone happy! I was there with two friends. I got the crab cakes, one friend got the filet with Gorgonzola and the other friend got a shrimp and scallop dish. We all shared our plates with one another. Additionally, we had the charcuterie and the goat cheese crostini apps. Everything was good, but by and large our favorite was the Filet. It was fork tender, juicy and delicious. I also thoroughly enjoyed the Goat Cheese crostini. It was very simple, but insanely delicious. I wanted to like the balsamic reduction off the plate, and almost did (haha). We all really loved the risotto. It was questionable whether or not we would all have room for dessert; however we decided to get one piece of the lemon cake and did not regret it. The whole experience was a delight and the surroundings were gorgeous. If I am ever back in the area I will definitely make a return visit. read more

What a fantastic experience! My husband and I went here for a date night, and we were not disappointed!! The restaurant/scenery is beautiful, service was excellent (even the owner stopped by to say hi and check on us), and the food was nothing short of excellent! We will definitely be back! read more

My Dad and I visited Tree Tops to celebrate Father's Day after touring Polymath Park, and we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of our experience. It was a beautiful day so we of course ate outside. Such a wonderful atmosphere that was so calming and made you feel very relaxed being surrounded by nature. All of the staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and took their time taking very good care of us from start to finish. The food over all was EXCEPTIONAL! To start they bring out a homemade small loaf of bread that was out of this world. My Dad ordered the special of the day which was the Mahi fish and raved about it. I ordered the Gorgonzola Filet, which even well done just melted in my mouth...literally was the BEST steak I have ever eaten. We of course then ended our meal with a cheesecake and lemon berry cake for dessert which were both deeeeelicious. Also the specialty cocktails we both ordered were refreshing and super delicious. Before we ventured to Tree Tops I read over numerous reviews and definitely agree with them...was such an extraordinary experience that I recommend to everyone. Can't wait to go back!! read more

Wonderful Service, Food and Wine. We are traveling through the area and decided to eat here after touring Polymath Park. We ate on the deck in a lovely wooded setting. We started off with the flaming greek cheese (back in Chicago we call it saginaki) fantastic accompanied with pita and perfectly grilled tomatoes and zuccini. My husband and I both had the filet oscar and our son had the surf and turf. All steaks were cooked to perfection, two medium rare and one rare. For dessert we shared a slice of lemon cake, light and tasty. Wonderful wine menu. Tree Tops is a hidden gem, take the time to find it! read more

I heard rave reviews however I thought the place was just mediocre. I was there with a group and they never even offered to take drink orders. If you wanted something from the bar you had to get it yourself. 20 people with the groups and the up and close the bar at 9. I wouldn't bother going back. read more

Very cute place with an interesting story. Atmosphere was cozy, food was nicely presented and tasty. But was not impressed with the dessert read more

We drove out into the middle of the woods and came upon this gem. The ambience was amazing. Outside deck seating among the trees was fabulous and our waitress, Sidney, was very nice and super helpful. The food was amazing. We both had filets and they were done perfectly...cut with a butter knife. The shrimp and crab on the land and sea was yummy as well and the Appetizers all looked like something we would come back to try. Top it all off with a guitar playing on the deck and it made for a wonderful evening celebrating my birthday! We've already talked about driving back here from Pittsburgh just to eat here again. read more

We dined at Tree Tops on September 10, 2020. It was almost a 2 hour drive to get there and was worth every minute of the drive. The baked Brie appetizer was amazing, the filets (one Gorgonzola, the other Cabernet) were cooked to perfection with no need for a steak knife, the risotto was delicious and the service was beyond measure. We will be talking about this place for a long time to come. Hint for the entrance pull in where the Polymath Park sign is...if you go by the address and use a gps you won't get there. Just amazing. read more

Can't go wrong with any of the filets, they are awesome, No need for a knife Very very tender. The seafood trio was also very good. Unique atmosphere. Good for a special occasion. read more

So disappointed with lunch here. Talk about expensive! We had two of the open-faced burgers, one of the cheapest things on the menu, shared the baked brie, and each had a glass of cabernet ($8, not shockingly expensive but a small pour) and it was $67 before tip. Brie was pretty good but the burger was ridiculously huge (server didn't know but guessed 12 ounces), so dry that it was almost inedible, and served with two fingerling potatoes each cut in half and some greens. We were there for a tour of Polymath Park and the guide we were scheduled with was unavailable because he was working in the restaurant's kitchen, which seemed a bit odd. We would not recommend this place. read more

What an incredible surprise. The filet was one of the best steaks I have ever had (and at 74 years old Ive had many). The difference was the moistness. Even on a medium cooked piece, it was juicy and this really brings out the flavor of the meat. The ambiance of the outdoor seating nestled in the trees was just delightful. The pear salad was also terrific as was the service. read more

First time we were there. Food was excellent. Family run with great personality. We will be going back soon, I am sure!

Went there a couple of weeks ago for the first time for date night with my husband. What a great experience start to finish! Walking toward the restaurant, it's instantly welcoming. We walked in & were greeted warmly by the owner. The restaurant is small inside, but there is seating on the deck as well as inside. We chose to sit inside & were put by the fireplace, which was beautiful. Our waitress was super nice & really good at her job! Very informed about the menu selections & offered suggestions. The owner checked in with us several times too, which was so nice. Felt like we were having dinner at someone's house! His wife is the chef & she is amazing! I had the seafood & medallions & my husband had the filet. (We were told that is their specialty & I can see why.) I could have made a meal out of the risotto, it was amazing. We splurged & had dessert. I had flourless chocolate cake & he had cheesecake. They were both delicious. Prices are a little high, but you'd kind of expect it when going to a nice place. Other than the belly ache we both left with from stuffing ourselves, it was a perfect experience! read more

The food was absolutely delicious! Be sure to make reservations a few days ahead of time as we had to wait a few days.
