"Tesse is a great restaurant when you need to impress a client, close a deal, or appease your boss who spent all day screaming at Jerry Bruckheimer over the phone. It’s a total industry spot, but in a town like LA, you need one in your back pocket at all times. The beautiful, modern space looks like someone’s third home in the Palisades that gets cleaned twice a week even though no one’s slept there in six months, and the solid meat-heavy menu is highlighted by the beef tartare, build-your-own charcuterie, and excellent desserts. Come between 12-7pm on weekends for their “Sunset Hour” with discounts on food, cocktails, wine, and beer." - Brant Cox
