Our server Moi was extremely attentive & professional. He was efficient & able to communicate with the mgr. about my disappointment with the portion of the sea bass. Although delicious, it was a ridiculously small portion. In the end, the chef prepared another piece of the fish. Everything else was absolutely delicious, e.g., the salad, salmon entree, wine & flourless chocolate cake. Highly recommend especially Moi, our server.

Went with a group of friends.Service wasn’t bad. Food was average. The man who owns this place is honestly not a kind a human being! Avoid at all cost

Very good meal, somewhat limited menu and my drink had a funny taste to it, thinking it was the ice. Perch was great as was the salmon. Quiet environment and great outdoor patio. Street Parking only can be challenging when busy.

We have been to Tess countless times, and it is by far our favorite restaurant in Milwaukee. From the cozy atmosphere to the top-notch food, it never disappoints.

First time in, Friday night for two of us for a friend’s birthday. Everything was superb, food was so delicious, staff was very accommodating. Friendly and helpful service from my questions over the phone before booking, to altering our reservation, to dinner service with our wonderful server Moi, to serving my carry-in cake. Homemade bread was excellent and their tomato sauce was out of this world. I got the cioppino he got the ravioli and we just kept raving about the sauce. 5 stars highly recommend

First time here. Was recommended by some friends and we were not disappointed. Make a reservation, for 6pm and got in right away. We were the only customers at that time, and a few other tables filled up later.The waitress (Jada)did a great job of getting us seated and settled in. Gave us plenty of information about the menu and specials. Got the special Pesto Sea Bass which was amazing. Service was efficient, but we did not feel rushed. The rest of the meal was all very good.We will be back.
