Houston's Luxury Experience Venue in River Oaks
Corporate events, private dining, cooking classes, and exclusive membership | chef-led, fully staffed, and handled end to end
The Luxury Tree House is a purpose-built venue in River Oaks for corporate gatherings, intimate celebrations, and curated dining experiences that feel personal, effortless, and genuinely welcoming.
From first conversation to final departure, every detail is handled with intention so the host can focus on the people in the room.
Not a Hotel. Not a Conference Center. Not a Catering Company.
Most venues hand you a room, a vendor list, and a day-of coordinator.
The Luxury Tree House is something entirely different, a fully staffed, chef-led luxury experience venue in River Oaks where every detail is designed from the ground up and executed end to end by one accountable team.

What Guests Say About The Luxury Tree House
"Our group engaged Robbie for an executive team building event and it was exceptional. An Iron Chef-style competition that had our entire team engaged, excited, and working together — cooking in his high-grade kitchens with fresh ingredients. I highly recommend Robbie and his team if you're looking for something different for a customer or team building event that people will talk about for months."
— Joe Remington, Executive Team Building
"We own a hospitality staffing company and are blessed to work with the top companies and chefs on a weekly basis. I stumbled upon Chef Robbie during covid, as we both tried to navigate this new normal in the food industry. What I saw working with him was astonishing. This is truly eatable art from someone who is never stressed, always calm, and a a true delight to have around guests. Now, we are honored to partner with Robbie when our clients need that true private chef experience and are looking for a visual presentation not often seen in a private dining. There is catering, and then there's this. Just look at the photos and then imagine a kind, customer service-oriented teacher making this for you and your guests. This is a for sure crowd pleaser.
-JP Morgan, Private Chef Dinner
"Robbie was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable and explained things very well. He encouraged questions throughout the private cooking class and always made us feel comfortable — homemade pasta start to finish, shellfish, the mysteries of Beef Wellington. The menu was excellent and really allowed us to learn a wide range of new tools, tricks, and techniques."
— Missy Sears, Hands on Cooking Class
