4 for dinner 9-20-24. Getting to our reserved table in a barely 1/3 full dining room was a bit of a challenge for the hostess, but eventually we were seated. Appetizers consisted of soups and stuffed dates. All were wonderful. Our dinners of chicken Marsala, baked cod and linguini with clam sauce were all very nice. A round of desserts were ordered for the table, chocolate pot de crème, key lime pie, and panna cotta. Again everything was very good. Our server was friendly and seemed to appear when needed. We were very pleased with the food. The music played in the dining room was another story, it was very repetitious and there was an audible sigh at our table and a surrounding one when it paused to repeat itself all over again. The music definitely does not compliment the good food. It would be great to have the heavy music with the drumming undertones replaced with something light and melodic to better compliment a good meal.
The filet was improperly cooked. The waitress was cold and made us feel unwanted.

We enjoyed an excellent meal at Chescas tonight, the clam chowder was fantastic and the braised short ribs were melt in your mouth. I was told the meatballs were also exceptional. For desert the house made brownie was absolutely delicious. The service was top notch and the atmosphere is just lovely. If you are in search of an excellent meal on the Vinyard, put Chescas at the top of your list.

Delicious food and excellent service. I feel like it’s fairly priced, and while not inexpensive, Chesca’s delivers value for the cost.

This is not the same restaurant that we have enjoyed for 20 years. The food was OK But the service was severely lacking. We had to ask multiple times for water, refills, bread, or wine arrived at the end of the meal. Even before we arrived our table that we reserved a month ago was given to another party…… Even though I confirmed we had the table we requested earlier in the day.
Management, service and food are marginal my best.

Food was ok, service was terrible! Compared to all the other wonderful restaurants in Edgartown (Alchemy, L'Etoile, The Terrace at the Charlotte Inn, Dunes, Bettini) this would not be at the top of my list. Martinis have a bunch of up charges, adding about $6 to the basic price. Tables seated after us were provided with bread and drinks long before we got ours. I actually had to get up and talk with our maitre d' to get attention. Dirty plates were left on our table, even though waiters and servers were passing by. No one ever, during the entire meal, checked in with us to see how we were doing. The scallop appetizer was good, but small. The steak was well cooked, but had a lot of gristle. We probably won't be back.

VERY attentive service, delicious food, and inviting atmosphere. We went in early September (sort of nearing the off season) but the kitchen was still bringing their A game. We loved their porch and how central it was to good shopping. Would recommend the grilled salmon and the NY strip.

Disappointing dinner. Had the Spinach salad with blueberries, strawberries and sunflower seeds except it came without strawberries and sunflower seeds. Then the short ribs. Salty and the Spinach with garlic had no garlic. And the polenta had no hint of Parmesan cheese. The wait service was great.
I visit Martha’s Vineyard regularly and Chesca’s is always at the top of my list of restaurants to visit. I’ve even celebrated birthdays here and looked forward to another excellent dinning experience this evening. This meal, however, did not live up to my expectations. The appetizer and entree were lukewarm. The salad lacked a key ingredient and the dessert, a slice of key lime pie, was the greatest disappointment of all. It had a gooey, consistency with an almost nonexistent crust. It too was missing a key ingredient: key lime juice! I’m chalking it all up to an off night in the kitchen and will plan a do over next summer.

They say you need to make a reservation a few weeks in advance but well worth it!!! This is a must visit restaurant!

Such a great dinner place. Intimate and romantic vibes - we went as a family and loved it. We loved our waiter and his recommendations. Great food! They have gluten free pasta. Wine was amazing as well. Would definitely go back!

Delicious comfort Italian. We loved the chicken Marsala, eggplant parm, local greens, and chocolate pot du crème. Very grateful for the warm rolls and high quality butter as well.
