Menu

Our culinary team has designed innovative and inspired menus. Taking inspiration from American,Italian, French and Spanish dishes while using only the finest seasonal products they have created an extensive amount of menu offerings.

Selections that range from shared plates and appetizers to house-made pastas and exciting main dishes. Our menus change with the seasons and there are always handcrafted “specials” on offer every night.

​

To pair with the food, we pour 20 wines by the glass and 10 beers on tap. We also have a highly curated wine list of over 120 labels as well as the TESSA Reserve list with over 50 labels.

The unique design and décor of TESSA was conceived by the architectural firm of BatesMasi.

​

On entering TESSA, you are immediately struck by the exposed whitewashed brick walls and the double layered blackened steel security gates that cover the entire ceiling. These gates, suspended from the ceiling at different levels, create both a bold design statement and a screen concealing the restaurant’s mechanical systems. 

​

Gates and the diamond patterns created by the gate openings, continue as a theme throughout the space – in the gate wrapped bar and in the industrial scissor lamps. Additional industrialized elements like diamond steel plate stairs, blackened steel bathroom sinks, herringbone woven telecommunications cables are on display throughout the restaurant.

​

The design combines industrial and urban elements with rustic charm creating a compelling and striking setting that is elegant, inviting and comfortable. The inspiration and design concept for TESSA was to pull in the feeling of the city streets celebrating the mundane or utilitarian aspects of the cityscape and create a transformed version of the City within TESSA.
