Nestled in a charming corner of Milwaukee, this restaurant has captured the hearts of locals and visitors alike. With an inviting ambiance that transports diners to Europe, its exceptional food and friendly service create an unforgettable experience. The eclectic menu features standout dishes like butterscotch budino and pork belly, offering options for every palate, including vegetarian and gluten-free choices. Though prices have slightly risen, the value remains evident. With an impressive drink selection and an intimate setting of just eight tables, it’s perfect for special occasions or casual dinners alike. A hidden gem worth returning to again and again.

Was Anonym at Tess a mag?
This place is definitely a hidden gem on the east side. The Zuppa di Pesce was out of this world! The mussels were incredibly fresh, and the sauces were absolutely delicious. We also shared a fantastic Mediterranean salad with a citrus vinaigrette. And let's not forget the flourless chocolate cake and butterscotch pudding—they were the highlight of my day. I would highly recommend this restaurant, especially to those... View all feedback.

What Margaret English dislikes about Tess:
I would say this is my favorite restaurant in Milwaukee. The staff is friendly and I’ve always loved my food. Prices seem to have increased a tiny bit recently (as it has everywhere) but it is still a great deal. View all feedback.

Our server, Moi, was exceptionally attentive and professional. He efficiently communicated my disappointment regarding the small portion of the sea bass to the manager. While the fish was delicious, it was an unreasonably tiny serving. Ultimately, the chef prepared another piece for us. Everything else we ordered was absolutely delicious, including the salad, salmon entrée, and the flourless chocolate cake paired with wine. I highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you have Moi as your server.
