Wonderful atmosphere, food and service! It was moderately busy which may helped the atmosphere. If it was swamped, I don't think it would've been as enjoyable. The food was savory. Had the bison tostadas for an appetizer and the lamb as the main course. I haven't had such good lamb since my travels in the middle east. Great great place.

It was our first time at Tess and it was outstanding. The 4 of us enjoyed the quaint atmosphere, outstanding food and the service was spectacular. The Bison Tostada's and Spring rolls to start us off were wonderful and it only got better from there. We will definitely be back.

If Tess had lips I would kiss it on the lips. Sprouts on sprouts on sprouts on sprouts. Tostadas that would make a bison proud to be the main ingredient. The owner Mitchell is a male model and makes sitting at the bar the most enjoyable experience on the East Side.

Went here to celebrate our anniversary! My husband and I were impressed by the decor and the intimate atmosphere. Our server was amazing! We tried the bison tostadas, seriously you will not regret it! There wine selection was nice and the servers were knowledgeable. We also had the ravioli (one of the best) and the seafood cioppino. One of the best dining experiences in Milwaukee! Also the waitress suggested the bundino (almost had to order another one). Seriously just go, you will not be dissapointed!
