    The food was amazing and the drinks were strong. The ambiance was very appealing and I would definitely come back. I wish the server checked in on us w bit more for water etc but other than that it was really nice.

    Went for my birthday. Food was ok, I got a waffle it was overcooked and hard. The drinks were good but a little watered down. The service was very trash! Took 30 mins before anyone came to the table, we had to ask for service.

    Good experience, waitress was great. Food was very good. Unlimited mimosas was very expensive. We were hoping for a more engaging, party vibe brunch.there is a need for a little more diversity in the music play list and Dj.

    It took us walking up to the manager after sitting there for 40 minutes to even be waited on. Very disappointing for a place that requires reservations. Horrible.

    We were seated and a server never even approached our table. After waiting 20 minutes, we had to go up to the bar on our own to order food and drink.

    Will never go back. 1) 40 mins wait for pizza - luckily they compted pizza but had to remind server pizza was never brought out after 30 mins 2) Too loud - we were seated by a speaker, music very loud, had to shout to hear friend sitting next to me 3) Not a sports bar - sad to see that after 10pm they cut off the NBA game we watching because they change the tv screens into videos synched to the music that is playing Was not the first time going to tree house, used to really like going there

    Great pizza and nice vibe. We went for lunch and to watch the game. We had the Big Daddy pizza which was delicious. The dough and sauce on this pizza was wonderful. Probably the best thick crust pizza I've ever had. Not greasy. Very fluffy with a crispy crust. They have a live DJ and it was a very lively place to watch the game. Highly recommend.

    EXTREMELY LOUD at 5:30 pm on a Saturday evening. DJ played music so loud it was impossible to have a conversation being two feet away from each other. We had the pizza ball appetizer which wasn’t very good due to there only being a drop of sauce for about 8 “pizza balls”. This appetizer would be easily improved by adding a side of dipping sauce. We also had the mini sliders which were good. This place would be great for people looking for a club party atmosphere at 5:30 in the evening. Not so much for people looking to have a nice dinner. Won’t be returning due to excessively loud music.

    Horrible from the moment we came in. We’re there for dinner but was told it was only late night menus at 5:45pm. Loud as can be, not very busy but didn’t have a server come up to our table. Left and went somewhere else.

    Decided to book a table watch a game during the world cup, I understand it was a big event and I expected crowds which is WHY I booked a table. Essentially, I got there 10 min before my reserved time hoping to get a drink at the bar but I was told by the hostess there was no space rn, my reservation would be honored at it’s time and I could head upstairs for the meantime. When I got up there it’s still not too packed but people are arriving, one bar was closed so I went to the open bar and I’m completely ignored by both guys behind there. I’m trying to be patient but when one of the guys made eye contact and still turned away from me I actually called him over and he said they weren’t serving. Okay, cool, where did these other people JUST get their drinks from? Don’t just ignore a customer you clearly saw before turning around. Right next to me a lady approached him trying to order food because a hostess had told her she could order there and he starts asking “who told you that? When? Where?” Clearly unorganized and lacking communication amongst the staff. So, whatever, it’s time for my reservation and I head downstairs and the hostess tells me they have no tables left and only upstairs is available. She was a different one from earlier but I still have a reservation and I see open tables. So I asked her why I can’t get a table if that is what I booked for and it’s my time? She tells me they don’t have a table just open space upstairs, when I let her know they weren’t serving up there she says they are now. It was an important occasion for me, my team was about to play and I can’t even get a drink and of course food is out of the question. I had a party of 2, while I waited in line it was obvious they were prioritizing bigger parties (w/o reservations btw) and putting tables together but if that was going to be the case then close reservations? Limit them? Although, the vibe was nice a business not honoring a pre-booked time is so disrespectful. I went elsewhere.

    Went here after brunch Saturday afternoon, was expecting music/dj, but more sporty chill vibe. Ambiance and food was good. Service was not very friendly. Would not come back during the day, I’ve had good experience at the night club though.

    Sadly very loud and Not a too fast Service. Eben That we booked a table we were told on arrival that there will be an event and we can only have dinners for an hour and than need to leave table to go to the bar and only have drinks. Would be better if we knew upfront- not what we planned for

    If you love the frat life then this is your place however if you want good food good Ambience and good music do not go here!! Our waitress was the only positive at this cheesy overrated god-awful food place! The drinks were decent but same thing way overpriced as if you were in a swanky restaurant on Michigan Avenue! Then they have the nerve to charge you 20% gratuity upfront plus a 4% surcharge I guess it’s for the extra roofies they need to put in peoples drinks and then have the audacity to make you choose if you want to tip additionally! I have to say this is exactly what I expected sadly I wasn’t 😲 surprised! No I will not be back here again and no I wouldn’t recommend this place to anybody!

    Went on Wednesday for the all day frose and was floored by how beautiful it was in there. Now because it was a Wednesday it was relatively quiet in there which was perfect because it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Our server and hostess were very accommodating and polite. The drinks were great and the food was very good. I know as more people are aware Frose Wednesdays it will be a smash but it’s perfect now for the intimate vibes.
