Tree Tops

Nice balance of taste and of ingredients you don’t expect to fit in together. Best to go before the sunset around 5:30 pm to enjoy the view and walking around the hotel.

Don't go here hungry, it's super expensive for Thailand and the dishes are TINY!! "Green curry" was two baby carrots and 3 asparagus drizzled in two tablespoons of green curry sauce!!! What a joke. Guys you are operating in Koh Samui not New York City, Paris or London. That's straight out ripping people off.
The food itself is tasty and the restaurant is beautiful but they need to either change the portion sizes, include more courses or reduce their prices because it's actually laughable as each teaspoon comes served to the table.

First of all great concept we loved that every table has its own shelter which makes it a very private experience. In addition, the service is extraordinary and friendly. However, the food was very good but we missed the “Wow” effect, which we expect for such high prices.

We had an amazing experience here. If you’re thinking about going, this is a do not miss experience. Our server, May, was incredible. She was so kind and we enjoyed our evening so much more because of her. Breathtaking view, incredible food and one of a kind experience!

The place is beautiful! The service is amazing! The food is special, high quality and super tasty. We took a set menu which they easily adjusted for us as vegetarians. I loved the experience of eating there. For special occasions and celebration, because it's very expensive for my lifestyle..

Based on our experience here I'm sorry to say I was very surprised by all the glowing reviews. The food is excellent that much cannot be denied, we tried the signature set as well the seafood set and all the dishes were very good indeed. The cocktails were also unique and very palatable. However if they are charging 14'000 Baht (About £330) / couple everything has to perfect. And while the setting was lovely, our meal lasted 4 HOURS!! A frankly ludicrous amount of time to have dinner. One person in our party didn't order from the set menu meaning she had to wait for around 2 HOURS just for some food to arrive, and even then the portion sizes are tiny! The staff were friendly enough and they did perhaps speed up a little when we mentioned how long we'd been waiting, but for for such an expensive establishment the wait time simply wasn't acceptable. Perhaps we were unlucky and based on other reviews that seems to be the case, but our experience was quite a way off from 5 star dining.

Summary: Gastronomical boredom at astronomical prices.

What the chef at Tree Tops tries to sell as haute cuisine is an uninspired sequence of bland dishes that will not impress anyone who has an above average interest in fine dining. At a whopping 10,500 Baht bill (approx. 290 EUR, which included the wine pairing of one preselected glass with each course), honestly, I think the value for money is almost criminal. It seems the chef is either wildly underexperienced or has abandoned any ambition to impress his guests.

We were lured to the Tree Tops restaurant at Anantara by many of the raving reviews online because we had both our honeymoon and a birthday to celebrate. The hotel and restaurant setting are impressive, and the separate dining platforms that set guests apart from others, between the trees with views of the harbor, give off an air of exclusivity that many will find appealing. We tend to prefer the atmosphere of a restaurant shared with other diners ourselves, but that may be a matter of personal preference.

We were attended to by a very friendly employee named Thidthee, who did her best to tend to our every need. She was very professional and enthusiastic in her service. She also sang happy birthday as she presented a surprise chocolate cake as an extra dessert (which was a bit much after the chocolate mousse and ice cream but sweet nonetheless).

Unfortunately what little positive experience we had at the Tree Tops is limited to the setting and the friendly service, as the quality of the dinner itself was far below our expectation and the level that the restaurant apparently sets for itself with its price range.

I would not recommend the Tree Tops to anyone, at least not until the restaurant either significantly improves its menu (which probably means hiring a new chef) or drastically lowers its prices to be in line with the quality it offers. The overall experience, although superficially luxurious, left us with a feeling of having been conned into some tourist trap, which is a bad taste that should be unacceptable for any self-respecting restaurant.
