The Treehouse - North Sydney

Trendy venue for after work drinks. The space is nice & relax with a touch of class. The cocktails were a bit pricy, tasted ok. We ordered some chips to go with the drinks. They were crunchy and very moorish. The only dent of the night was a particularly snooty teenage looking hipster bartender who was giving me some attitude when I was ordering at the bar, he looked like he didn't want to be there, and treated me like I was causing him hassles.

Do not give your credit card to the tree house - I was told that you only need to keep the table, and after a waitress left a tray with drinks and pants, offered to pay a round drinks and dinner. I let them know that I can not sit through a dinner in wet pants. I refused to pay for the outstanding bill of $ 61, and she called the police. I talked to the manager after talking to the police, and she said it all had been sorted. I only went to see that you have just taken money, directly from my account. This company has no idea how he likes the customer.

End up going here at least once a month because my office is in North Sydney and very few good restaurants here for a big team. I cant say I get disappointed every time. Because I do love the food but the problem is it is the same menu every time I go. Now I have tried all their dishes once so I have started all over again. when to comes food itself, Poached chicken salad is great with crunch, fresh veggies and welllll cooked chicken. Their salmon dish and its sauce is perfect. Gnocchi is not up to the mark but alright (only veg dish on the menu so not many options for vegans).  Steak is not mouth watering but not a bad one. Absolutely love their chips. Perfectly cooked with correct crispness, tenderness and good seasoning. So  if this is place is an option in your selection then you can go for it once or twice. Again and again for chips :)

Do not come here in groups, if any. Grief Grief During my first visit, they brought every food out of mine. After waiting for 15-20 and the staff, which clarifies my order several times, my food came after my team finished everything. Grief My second visit was even worse. Wait more than 40 minutes for our food and received no message why our meals lasted for so long. The 10% service charge (aimed at a lack of service from our bill) is essentially an additional cost of your food to take longer. Grief Grief

Expensive and pretentious are two words that comes to mind after my experience here. Quite a shame really, given its location and lack of decent bars in North Sydney.  With a glass of red wine (Teusner GSM) ordered, I was treated to the bar staff pouring the wine from the bottle into a measuring cup! She measured it to the last drop to the line, before pouring the measuring cup into a wine glass! This was a world first for me. Forget about experiencing such a stingy show in Sydney; I have never seen this happen anywhere else in the world! Needless to say, this was my last trip to this place...
