Date-Night Dining in Nashville

Is The Treehouse Good for a Date Night in East Nashville?

Yes. A birthday or anniversary here sometimes gets a small, thoughtful touch, like a menu printed with the guest's name, and the patio under the property's own trees, with a treehouse standing above it, is the seat most guests ask for.

Birthdays and anniversaries sometimes get a nice touch, like a menu printed with the guest's name. Mention what you're celebrating when you book and ask what's possible.

Does The Treehouse Do Anything for Birthdays or Anniversaries?

Sometimes, as a nice touch rather than a standard part of every visit. A menu printed with the guest's name is something birthdays and anniversaries occasionally get, at brunch or dinner alike. It isn't guaranteed for every booking, so mention what you're celebrating when you book to give the team the chance to plan for it.

What's the Patio Like?

The patio, tucked beneath the property's own mature trees, is the seat most guests ask for, and it's the one place you can see the treehouse the restaurant is named for, standing above you as you eat. It's a genuinely different setting from a typical restaurant patio: real trees doing the work rather than string lights, in keeping with the whimsical, homey feel that runs through the whole building (more on that below). Dogs are welcome there too.

What Should We Order?

The dinner menu runs from small plates to large plates, and sharing a few small plates is a good way to start. Standouts: the truffle potatoes, the whipped goat cheese with hot honey and pistachio, the roasted Brussels sprouts with red miso, and the mussels in a cider reduction. For something bigger, there's the steak frites. Save room for the cremeux (olive oil cake, hazelnut, sea salt) for dessert. The menu changes with the seasons, so treat this list as a snapshot rather than a promise.

How Much Does It Cost?

The range depends on how you order: several plates plus cocktails lands you toward the top of it. Splitting a few small plates between two is a popular way to go, and it's also the better way to sample more of the seasonal menu.

Is Parking Easy?

Street parking is available around Five Points. If you'd rather pay for a sure thing, there's a lot right beside the building - it's also the cheaper of the two paid options nearby, at $8 to $9 for two hours.
