“I am late writing my review but I had to write it !! I visited provare chicago On july 8th !! From start to finish this restaurant gets 5 starts . The decor was nice and set a perfect atmosphere for a great night . We were greeted immediately upon arrival and seated within 5 minutes of being there . Once seated the wait staff began their introduction's on drinks and popular menu item's. After my party ordered drinks and appetizers a gentleman came over (not sure if he was the manager) and introduce himself and made sure we were having a great experience. Appetizers were amazing!! We couldn't wait for dinner!! Our entrées we just as good if not better ! Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection! When we didn't think the night could get even better the entire wait staff and the gentleman that came over before stopped and recognized my friend for her birthday and brought over a birthday surprise!! I live 307 miles and this place was definitely worth the drive !!!“

“Had my birthday dinner 🍽 there. Great place. Milwaukee, WI“

“Why does the music have to be so loud? Everyone was yelling at each other. Couldn't hear the server 😅 just loud for no reason it wasn't even 8 yet.

Down in the delta was good. Flavourful. Shrimp cooked perfectly. Catfish was ok.

Cognac honey bbw wings were tasty but didn't taste Cognac.

Soul sister drink was exquisite

The table enjoyed the honey fried chicken and the salmon.“

“the food is exquisite, very rich and all the seafood is top quality fresh and the service is very good“

“I'm kicking myself for having slept on this place for too long. I've been coming in semi-regularly for the last few months for coffee, bagels, and sometimes donuts before my morning commute. Always delicious, staff is always friendly, and I enjoy the atmosphere. I recommend bringing your own mug if you're getting coffee to-go because they're actively trying to minimize waste. Love that this place is in my neighborhood.“

“I just walked out of the door and am so glad that God sent us there. We tried 3 places prior to walking in CheSa’s doors which was a definite blessing. We had the catfish skillet, bourbon peach cobbler franchise toast, chicken sausage and scrabbles eggs w/cheese washed down with a breakfast martini. Absolutely delicious and with the owner/chef being very warm w/great hospitality. We’re definitely going back.“

“Such great service (Alex) and food! Fantastic time and we were a large group.“

“Was driving past and saw a Jamaican flag in the window so I turned around. Thank God I did the food is so good ya'll I had the lamb, spinach and mashed potatoes. I'm still outside the restaurant in my car posting this cause the food is gone already!! An amazing Shout out to the owner miss tanya and her staff a wealth of knowledge a true blessing. Also thank you to Mario from Goebbarts farms for serenading me with live music while I waited!!“

“Update: It's s probably been 2 or so years since I've been in. Was in the neighborhood and had to stop in for nostalgia. Service is just as good as I remember and the food is still top notch! Shrimp Po boy and the wings tasted like I remember. Love the addition of the On Trend: Fire : It Slaps cocktail menu.

Excellent craft beer selection beyond just IPA's. Food has been consistently solid for the 7+ years I've been coming here.“

“Dearly beloved, we gather here today, not in sorrow, but in reverence—for we have witnessed greatness, we have tasted divinity, and we have absolutely destroyed a mountain of crayfish with no regrets.

This was not just a meal. It was a battle. A joyous, buttery war waged with our bare hands, where the only casualties were the noble crustaceans and the napkins that tried, in vain, to contain the mess.

The moment we entered, the air was thick with the perfume of garlic, spice, and the promise of an unforgettable feast. The tables, lined with paper, awaited the carnage to come. And when the great bounty arrived—a steaming, glistening pile of crayfish, corn, and potatoes—we knew there was no turning back.

Oh, the crayfish! Their sacrifice was not in vain. They gave their tails willingly, their tiny claws raised in silent farewell as we cracked, peeled, and devoured. Each bite was a masterpiece, each morsel an ode to seasoning perfection. And let us not forget their steadfast companions: the corn, sweet and juicy, soaking up every drop of buttery goodness, and the potatoes, humble yet essential, a soft reprieve in this tempest of spice.

We leave this place not as we entered, but transformed—our fingers tingling, our faces glistening with the evidence of our triumph. We say farewell, but not goodbye, for we will return to honor the crayfish once more.

Rest in pieces, dear crustaceans. You were cherished. You were delicious. You were everything.“

“So glad I noticed it walking by and came back with my husband for dinner. The menu has lots of choices but we were only two so will have to check out different options next time. We each had dinners, he choosing 1/2 baby back ribs, Mac and cheese, cornbread. I had 1/2 slab brisket, Mac and cheese and collard greens. Side portions were generous and the collard greens were fantastic! Mac and cheese was terrific and the meats were just perfect. Service was great and price was just as great. Washed it all down with classic Margaritas. Great addition to neighborhood in same spot Fat Willy’s left when closed for good.“

“The crab & shrimp boil bag was good, it’s nice they have a variety is spice levels and sauces. However we didn’t receive the sides we ordered. The waiter was happy to remove them from the bill, but still a little disappointing to not receive the items. Our waiter was friendly and nice but they seemed a little understaffed.
