My wife and I were here for our anniversary just last night and everything was on the mark. Even during off-season it was a great night. We shared the lobster bisque and hot gorgonzola dip with shrimp and it was excellent. For dinner my wife had the salmon with the special thai glaze sauce and it was delicious. I had... More

We had a simple meal of chianti, grilled romaine salad, margarita pizza, meat balls and a "decadent" dessert with coffee. Nothing fancy. But the food was delicious and the service impeccable. The setting is cozy and attractive. We'll be back.

We just celebrated my wife's birthday at Chesca's and it was one of the most fantastic restaurant experiences we have had in a very long time. The waitstaff was incredibly attentive to our party of 18. It was a busy Saturday night and a full house but I observed great efficiency of service throughout the restaurant. The food was amazing...

Worthy of a special night out or a place to bring friends who've come to the island for the first time. Consistently good, usually excellent. Service that always goes above and beyond.

Just go get some big tall drinks with fruit, parasols in the drinks and sit on the porch. Great Edgartown people watching. Oh and the food was good, plentiful and service great. The front porch is noisy.

Chesca's is one of those rare places that does it right year after year. We return several times each season and have never been disappointed. We'll keep coming back as long as Chef David keeps cranking out quality.

All i have to say was the food was terrible along with its menu choices. And i thought the food was bad but the service was even worse. I would never eat here again and i wouldnt recomend it to anyone else. I would have rather had a meal at pizza hut then eat at this so called gourmet restaurant.

The staff was great. The establishment was beautiful and it was a nice romantic spot for dinner. Two thumbs up to our bartender and server, Neil. He was knowledgeable and friendly and offered great dinner suggestions. The food was delicious! We would definitely go back.

The service and food at Chesca's were top notch. The martinis were well made, the wine list was excellent. Our salads were crisp and nicely presented. The lobster ravioli, the paella and the steak were all perfectly cooked and bursting with flavors. The salted caramel cake was a hit for dessert. This place is a real gem for atmosphere, service...
