Tess is an absolute gem in Milwaukee! 🌟 From the moment we arrived, Jada, our server, made us feel right at home. We started with the homemade bread, which was fantastic, and then I devoured the special Pesto Sea Bass - simply divine!

The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for a romantic dinner or catching up with friends. My friend’s ravioli earned rave reviews, too! Don’t skip the butterscotch budino for dessert; it's heavenly!

With great service and delicious food, I can't wait to return for another lovely evening on the charming patio... 🍽️
