Tesse

I think Tesse has potential, and it’s very possible that I simply ordered poorly. However, I just wasn’t super impressed by the food for this price point. We ordered the chefs choice charcuterie, and it was pretty basic (salami and manchego), though I liked the pickled peppers and thought they added some character. I got the steak frites, and the steak was pretty good, but the potatoes were cumbersome (imagine a baking potato quartered). The service was very good, our server was friendly, attentive, and an advocate for our experience. The two main courses came out at very different times and she was very apologetic. Overall, I think Tesse could lean into a personality a bit more and pay closer attention to customer service from the back of house while maintaining their great front of house service.

Tesse Restaurant deserves a glowing five-star review, and their Sunset Happy Hour is a standout feature. The combination of delectable cocktails and appetizers, set against the backdrop of a stunning sunset, creates a truly magical experience. The vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff make it a perfect way to unwind after a long day, and the value for money during Happy Hour is exceptional. Whether you're a local or a visitor, Tease Restaurant's Sunset Happy Hour is a must-try, providing a taste of both delicious flavors and a beautiful sunset. Five stars all the way!

What an exceptional restaurant. An amazing overall dining experience from service to food. An outstanding dining experience from start to finish. Our waiter significantly enhanced our meal with his attentive service, detailed dish descriptions, and spot-on recommendations. The food was delectable, each bite a testament to the restaurant’s dedication to culinary excellence. The ambiance complemented the dining experience perfectly. We even indulged in the bone marrow luge because when you’re having such a divine experience, “why not” and “let’s get another” start being said left and right. I can’t wait for a return visit.

Had an incredible experience at Tesse. First the ambience and decor give the entire space a great vibe. Our waiter David guided us through their very unique and inspired menu. We started with the lobster sausage which was an amazing treat as was the special duck pate and fresh baguette which was better than being in Paris. We followed these with a shared pork chop which was seasoned perfectly and about as thick and flavorful as I have ever had in the world. And try the cauliflower and you are going to say how can a vegetable be this good! We ended our perfect meal with a small port and chocolate flourless cake recommended by our server which was a delightful end to our night. This restaurant is a great addition to the Weho scene and the shout out to the manager Jordan who spent some time with us and explained the inspiration of the exec chef and some of the more interesting dishes. Can't wait to return and explore the rest of the menu.

Wow. We had such a memorable dining experience at Tesse and can’t wait to go back. We arrived during sunset hour and sat at the bar to enjoy $5 rose and our dinner that followed. We dined from the Dine LA menu as two people and the portions were larger than expected and both filling and delicious. The little gem salad was crisp and the dressing resembled a Caesar. The hamachi Crudo was fresh and in thick, flavorful slices which we loved. The bucatini was a standout and we opted for the madeira bone luge for $5 more which was delicious and exciting! The salmon skewers were cooked and seasoned perfectly and the sticky toffee pudding was so spongey and sweet. We finished with a dessert wine sampling where we set our price and the sommelier chose the wines for us within that range. We can’t wait to return to try the rest of the menu!

We reserved our seats a day ahead at 6:15pm, which is during their “Sunset Hour”. The menu is big and the drinks are so delicious! If you choose to dine the sunset hour, you will be seated at the bar / top table. I love the cauliflower so much! The bone marrow pasta with a dessert wine at the end was quite an experience. They have valid parking at the front for $10. The staff is very friendly.
