Tesse Restaurant

I did not have a reservation and the restaurant was really crowded on a Friday night. Yet they gave me space at the bar to enjoy the night as a solo traveller. Had a rose (brut) and some fantastic duck pasta. So so so delicious dinner and you cannot miss the panna cotta, Absolutely loved it as it wanted speed . Enjoyed the music and accompanying wine. Friendly bartenders, waiters and managers. Constantly checking on you making the environment so buzz.

Perfect place for a Happy Hour after a long day of work. The staff was on top of their game and the food was excellent. The parking is easy, we parked into the building.

Food is good but blonde hostess had cocaine on her nose.

I rarely write reviews but I’m STILL thinking about my awesome experience at Tesse weeks later so decided I had to. We went on a Sunday for their All you can Tesse and wow, were blown away. Absolutely everything we tried was delicious, my girlfriend even described the Burrata with truffle butter toasted focaccia as “a spiritual experience” haha! The scallops were cooked to perfection and I have literally showed a picture of the Cauliflower to everyone I know – price, presentation, delivery and flavor – it was just all so well done. And I can’t remember a time that I’ve had better service. There were all these little moments; for example, after my girlfriend and I got seated the host noticed that I had moved over to her side of the table to sit next to her and read the menu. The host came back to our table and offered to move us to a bigger table so that we could sit next to each other during dinner, now we would have been happy at the other table, but that gesture and getting to sit side by side completely elevated our experience. And the service was phenomenal, Alicia (she training that day, Blithe I think) had great recommendations and paced out the food perfectly. It’s hard to describe, but how she balanced attentiveness and also giving us space and time to enjoy our meal seemed so intentional and perfectly balanced. Even the food runners were super knowledgeable and friendly, AND the GM stopped by our table to see how things were going – again, I can’t remember the last time that happened to me. Another little moment, Alicia noticed us going back and forth on some wine choices and she had their Somm Alexandra come by to give us some recommendations. She was so knowledgeable and set up a shared flight that completely complimented our food choices (for both our palates), another piece that really elevated the experience. So yeah, definitely worth a positive review and if I lived in LA I would probably be there at least every week – if not more often. Thank you so much to all the wonderful staff for making our night one of the most memorable meals either of us have ever had.

We had an absolutely incredible time during our first experience at Tesse! Wow! From the exceptional food to the epic service… we were totally blown away. It was one of the best meals we have ever had and will definitely be back. The all you can tesse experience was one for the books. Wow! Special shout out to Alicia, Blithe and Alexandra for amazing service. Highly recommend this incredible restaurant for any occasion.

Just checkout this bread (provided with cheese and cold cuts) and you will know it's not a French restaurant. Duck Roller was bland, for whatever reason sprinkled with cognac that doesn't really do anything except making bread soggy. Lobster sausage had so much salt that sent BP sky rocketing. Didn't get to main course even. If you wanna meet some celebrities def give this place a visit, if you enjoy eating - please choose another establishment!

What a wonderful dining experience! I love the shared plates because then it was like a tasting menu. Everything was delicious, and the service was excellent. My only regret is that they're serving octopus. Which I am not for. #FoodieLife #StopEatingOctopus

Tesse is fine dinning at its best. Make a reservation. It gets crowded. They have brunch, and dinner. Brunch is on Sunday and that is what this review is about. Tesse has valet parking for a fee. The place itself is just beautiful, inside and out. It is spotless and so well cared for. They have a full bar and they have a bar area where you can eat if you want. We like the tables. Their brunch is not cheap, you get what you pay for and all of it is worth it. I think it is about 60$ a person and well worth it. You must make a reservation 24 hours in advance for brunch. We had their Country Loaf bread and they also have that for dinner. It is so good. Ask for extra butter. We then had grilled scallops, this is a small plate, and shrimp ceviche, which is also a small plate. Their lobster sausage is amazing. Moving on, we had the Tesse burger which comes with duck fried fries. Just the best. we also had the Roasted Mary's chicken that comes with little potatoes and kale and a bit of mushroom poulette. we ended the gorge with flourless chocolate cake and 3 scoops of ice cream. We were stuffed. Now, you can't reorder something you have already ordered so keep that in mind. This is not a buffet. A server will take care of you and they add on a 20% tip. The server is so great. You will just love this place.
