I had a great time for my friend's bridal shower, but I was not too impressed with the physicality of this location. I agree with most people that it's "dated" on the inside. Since our party had less than 40 people, we were forced to have the shower in the pub area. It was dark and crowded. The original event room has pretty walls and lighting, but there are holes in the ceiling; this potential water damange/mold caused one of our bridesmaid's lungs to react within a couple minutes the first time we came here. No outside seating to my recollection.The food was average. I did like my salad and bread, and I also liked that my vegetable pasta had a lot of the better fresh vegetables in it, like mushrooms. Vegetable platter was good, but the coffee was a little nasty. The meal came with ice cream too.Grateful for our caterer who kept up with all of the family's changing requests, and I also liked the "second in command" restaurant server who wore glasses. He was sweet and accommodating. In general, food was good but not to die for, and I would not have an event here for a bridal shower- it was too dreary. The person who recommended this place originally came here for a funeral luncheon, which makes me sense to me. Maybe an occasional family dinner. I'd choose this place over Olive Garden at least! Just my honest review.

Food is good. & Excellent service from Nicole.Good to see people coming back to Tessara’s. A nice menu selection! A good place to check out !

I went here for dinner with my parents and my wife for my birthday. Food was excellent. Everything came out nice and hot and very generous portions. All of us enjoyed our selections. The Chicken Tessara is a unique hit here. Our server, young guy Zach I think, was very polite and attentive. The prices are worth it, given how much food you get along with soup/salad.

First of the place is dirty, everything is sticky from the table tops to the menus to the doors.I ordered the prime rib for $30 and it was inedible . It was improperly cooked and I had to throw half of my portion away because it was all fat and grizzle. The other half was like rubber. The green beans were soggy and drowning in garlic ,they were also inedible. The only thing that was edible was a roasted potato. Waitress was good though.

Very good food! A little pricey but once you see how much food you get, you’ll see it’s worth it. Sweet cracker chicken is my favorite. I would give 5 stars but to be fair I haven’t tried many other items from the menu!

OUTSTANDING!! The food, the service, the drinks all A+. Went there on a Saturday night for dinner, the portions are huge, the staff are engaging and fun and the price you can't beat. I highly recommend anyone heading into the area, stop in and grab a bite.

My family loves this restaurant and it's always our go to place to celebrate birthdays. The food is wonderful and they give you very good portions. The desserts are delicious also.

The host saw us approaching and had a table ready immediately, the service was great, the portions were large and delicious, and they are very reasonably priced! All around a perfect dining experience.

Had a great meal here today I had chicken francese it was delicious

I recently threw a surprise baby shower party at Tessara’s newly renovated banquet room. Love what they have done with the place with new paint and lights! My pictures turned out great and my guests raved about the new look! As always the service was exceptional and the food was excellent! Will definitely be booking again! Highly recommend to everyone for future events!
