One of my favorite restaurants in Milwaukee! Excellent, well-prepared dishes with complimentary fresh bread brought out beforehand. Been here several times and am always impressed. Feel like the kitchen had really taken time and thought into envisioning and making the food. Most of the menu seems appetizing to me, which is rare. The service is friendly, accommodating, and helpful. I always appreciate when waitstaff can assist with your decision making or provide some meaningful input. The atmosphere is a touch more formal but there is also a casual area at the front of the restaurant. Tess is definitely not cheap. I would say priced on the higher end of reasonable for what you get with the overall experience. It won't break the bank if you're a young professional or more established but probably won't be somewhere you can frequent regularly if money is still fairly tight.

This place is worth what you're paying for. The selection of beers is great. They had a beer from 2016 which was being aged. The seafood dishes are what we stuck to for the night and it was great. We ate outside, where there were minimal bugs. It's a dimly lit backyard converted into a nice little courtyard with tables spaced out enough to not feel like you're eavesdropping on someone or vise versa. Great spot to impress a date!

Great place. I never heard of it and we had a group of 12 for a birthday. We sat outside in their beautiful fenced off garden area it it was really pretty. The food was all good and they had a diverse menu with something for everyone and the crab cakes were the best I've had anywhere. Wish the desserts were a little better but they were fine and I'm pretty picky. I would highly recommend for a quaint casual dinner, especially if it's nice out.

What a treat! The meal was so flavorful and so well balanced. The roast pork tenderloin was excellent with the roasted golden beets & chickpeas. Our server Roxanna was fabulous!

great server, quality food. Soup great but not hot. Dangerous entryway and dark entrance.
