We just had our little girl's 1st Birthday Brunch at Tesse and they could not have been more accommodating. They really went out of their way to make this special occasion a memorable one. They were happy to cut out cake for us and brought out a special sparkler candle that really got everyone excited.
And of course the food is fantastic and reasonably priced. We had almost everything on the menu, and I'll say if you're here for Brunch, GET THE PANCAKES! They're awesome. You can thank me later.
Thank you to the entire team at Tesse for making my baby's 1st a memorable one. You guys ROCK!!!

Tesse is incredible! Staff is friendly, food was delicious, and the ambiance was date night worthy without being pretentious. Would not hesitate to recommend to others and make this a go-to spot (for a sit down dinner or just for drinks/appetizers with friends)!
Everything we ordered was fabulous but some of the highlights in my opinion were:
1.) Hamachi crudo was bright and a good contrast to some of the heavier French inspired items on the menu
2.) bone marrow bucatini (they offer a shot of fortified wine through the bone if you order)
3.) Sticky toffee pudding for dessert
4.) All of the wine/cocktail recommendations were awesome. They have a huge selection of wine and the staff is super knowledgeable. Don't be afraid to tell them what you like and take their suggestions. They listen to your preferences and offer real recommendations that match without being pushy about it. Shout out to the soms!
This is a well run establishment and I can't wait to go back with more friends!

This restaurant is so cute! It has a nice bar and mainly indoor seating. Beautifully designed restaurant, great for dates and social gatherings. The waiters and workers are very friendly and attentive. The drinks are beautifully made and very tasty. I love how all their dishes include some type of vegetation and infused with fruits. I would totally recommend getting the cauliflower, very zesty. I love how the salmon comes with a beet hummus. I really loved the Hamachi crudo, very fresh and well made. The steak was well made and the duck fries are delicious. Overall great experience and would totally go back for more!

We came here for date night and left happy, full, and obsessed with this restaurant! The first call out is the service. Tip top from the waitstaff to the bussers. Gabriel stole our hearts from the minute we walked in. So friendly and frankly cool AF. As if that wasn't enough, the food was TO DIE FOR. Delicious recipes paired with creative plating already has us planning our next visit. More than deserving of 5 stars!

On our first night in LA we tripped across this restaurant on Sunset Boulevard. Looking at the menu and the prices we were genuinely surprised at the quality of the food and the wine list.
The service was a typically up-beat friendly and knowledgable experience. The food was excellent quality and the atmosphere was lovely. Our host offered great advice on the wine.
Would highly recommend

Where to begin? A month ago I came with my husband and were were extremely pleased with everything. I mean from the moment we entered the restaurant. Corey came over and was a informative with the menu. Btw a gentleman. I was so grateful to him for making our time amazing. Food was excellent. Loved it so much I return with my dear friend and Corey once again took such good care of us. Surprised us with each a glass of champagne. Thank you Corey and Gabriel. Highly recommend.

I never really thought of going here despite a few friends urging me that it was really good. However, they recently advertised a pre fixe menu, and they are directly next to the gym I work out at, so we decided to give it a try.
The dinner was amazing!!! I want to highlight the gem salad. NEVER in my life had I eaten a salad as good as the one here. People that know me know I never crave/talk up/prefer salad when eating out. That has changed. I can’t wait to go back, and eat it again. It also sent my bf into a dill tailspin, and he has been cooking with it ever since having it in the salad. Other highlights I would include are the cocktails and the chic atmosphere of the place.
