Amazing experience – the food was delicious and perfectly prepared! We started with shrimp in a creamy dip with crispy bread, which was the perfect appetizer. The main course – a perfectly cooked steak served with fresh asparagus and potatoes – was truly impressive. The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was attentive and professional. Highly recommend this restaurant!

I had the Pappardelle Bolognese and I added meatballs and it was soooo good! The free warm rolls are also really good. Chesca's is my favorite restaurant on Martha's Vineyard. The atmosphere is really cool, outside in the courtyard a band was playing, and they have rocking chairs on their large porch, it's a really cool vibe. I make sure to go to Chesca's every time I'm on the Vineyard!

Two weeks ago, on September 5th, we had the pleasure of dining at Chesca’s in Martha’s Vineyard with our in-laws, and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the warm ambiance and beautiful setting made us feel welcome and relaxed. The live music playing outside added a charming touch with the perfect soundtrack to a perfect evening.
We began with a selection of appetizers that were both artful and delicious. The Autumn Spinach Salad was a standout! It tasted like fall in every bite: refreshing, earthy, and beautifully balanced. Though technically a side, we ordered the Brussels sprouts as an appetizer, and they were crispy, flavorful, and addictive. We also shared the meatballs, hearty and comforting, and the Seared Scallops, which were so delicious. Every bite was a celebration of flavor and texture. The Crispy Eggplant Parmesan was rich, satisfying, and beautifully plated.
For entrées, I had the halibut with celery purée and swapped the green beans for more of those irresistible Brussels sprouts. Others at the table enjoyed the golden risotto with short ribs and the pappardelle bolognese, each dish met with rave reviews.
The service was friendly, attentive, and truly five-star. We felt cared for from start to finish. We also took photos of our meals because they were too beautiful not to capture. The food was so irresistible that we all started taking pictures after a few bites, we couldn’t help ourselves! Every plate was a work of art, and the flavors matched the presentation.
Chesca’s is more than a restaurant, it’s an experience. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want a memorable meal, this place delivers. Highly recommended!

The waiter was nice, but I’m unhappy with the overall service I received here. The lamb was very salty. And lost my debit card after it was last seen with the bartender. They were not accommodating at all which was disappointing, and left a bad taste in my mouth.

Truly cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough! The ambience was perfect for a special occasion celebration and the service was on point, from cocktails on the front porch to scrumptious dinner and customized birthday cake, chef Mike and his gorgeous wife Tammy went out of their way to make our evening an occasion to remember. Can’t wait to visit again! Not to be missed!

The staff was exceptional in their knowledge and detail. Special dietary aspects were adhered to with utmost concern and attention. The atmosphere was very enjoyable for even our large family group. The food was outstanding and modifications requested were exquisite. The beverages were well balanced and wine options on point. A must get to when on MV!!

The atmosphere, food and service isn’t as good as it use to be. I don’t recommend and will most definitely not be returning.

Chesca's menu is varied and delicious. Their appetizers are creative. Try the house made gnocchi and the Beef Wellington as starters. The golden risotto with the melt in your mouth short ribs or the halibut with a celery puree. The cocktail list has a unique smoked old fashion. You will enjoy your entire experience!

CHESCA’S has been on a total downward slope since 2021. I’m not sure what changed, but the food isn’t as good anymore. From hearing the owner curse his employees to getting stale or spoilt food. This is not the CHESCA’S we love and know. Most definitely will not be back.

We did a walk in and we were able to be accommodated for a family of 7 the food was excellent and the service was very accommodating both with my wife's allergies and the dietary needs for the two young kids we had as well. The Cod was cooked perfectly and the clam chowder highly recommend it
