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.More
