Gather & Savor

Dining

Dining at The Tess feels like a social ritual. An invitation to slow down, savor, and join the rhythm of Atlanta’s most intriguing conversations. Tess’s hospitality extends from the lobby to the rooftop, shaping meals that feel intimate, cultured, and effortlessly warm. The flavors are rooted in Southern ease, guided by creativity, and alive with the city’s culinary character. Whether you’re sharing a cocktail at dusk or lingering over a late-night bite, dining here feels less like a meal and more like a moment worth remembering.

Our Signature Restaurant

Tesserae

As the centerpiece of The Tess’s culinary world, Tesserae blends Buckhead sophistication with Southern artistry. Classic dishes are reimagined with inventive touches, seasonal ingredients, and a style that feels both familiar and entirely new. By day, sunlight pours across sculptural banquettes and polished wood, creating a lively setting for relaxed lunches or spirited exchanges. By night, Tesserae softens into a warm, energetic dining room with glowing light, clinking glasses, and a menu that surprises with every course. Craft cocktails honor heritage flavors with contemporary technique, while a curated wine list mirrors the restaurant’s balance of elegance and spirit. This is where the city’s evenings come alive.
