About Tesserae
Floor-to-ceiling glass, a wraparound terrace and a mix of dining tables and low lounge sofas give the top of The Tess hotel a long view south over the tree canopy to Midtown and Downtown. The kitchen serves American plates across the day, from 7am breakfast and a weekend brunch of shrimp-and-grits Benedict to crab cakes, truffle fries and lobster dogs later on. After dark it shifts toward the lounge: music turns up on Friday and Saturday nights with guest sets and occasional live jazz, and closing moves to 1am. Expect Buckhead prices and a dressed-up crowd of couples and after-work groups. The 3.7 Google rating reflects uneven service, with recent reviews citing slow tables, private events closing the terrace and valet mix-ups, while the room and the view draw consistent praise. Book ahead for window tables.
