TESSA

From the moment I entered this restaurant, I knew I was in for something special. The attention to detail in the décor, the attentive staff, and the innovative menu all contributed to an exceptional evening. Each course was a revelation of flavors, and I appreciated the chef's commitment to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. This restaurant is a true gem, and I would recommend it to any food enthusiast.

August 18, 2023 at 12:30 pm. My server whom i called my love/lovey cause i completely forgot the name was absolutely amazing 🫶 even our busser that served us our waters was amazing!!

We had a reservation here for my friends wedding they took good care of us! Even gave us a vase for the bouquet 💐

Loved my cacio penne (completely forgot how to spell that) and fell in love with burratta!

Overall experience here was 11/10 ☺️

Note: their strawberry mimosas are fire.

Cute and trendy but still cozy. Good variety of wines by the glass. The snap pea salad is tangy with a hint of sweetness on top of a light, creamy cheese that you hope will never end. Delicious. Shrimp scampi is yummy and satisfying. Good neighborhood spot.

One of my absolute favorites on the UWS for happy hour, and meeting friends for drinks. Sometimes we just stop in for a nice evening glass of wine. They close at 11 and all-day Monday. Happy hour is Tuesday - Friday 11-6.

Tessa, owned by the same people that own Asset this location is on Amsterdam. Same cool vibe, same cool ambiance, and same great food and drinks.

Truffle fries are to die for. Bursting with Flavor and topped with fresh parmesan.

The octopus was fabulous, so moist and tender.

Green Mussels are cooked in a cilantro, tomato garlic, and white wine sauce with a touch of coconut milk.

I hear weekend brunch is very good too. Just a cool local place.
