    Food is amazing and the ambience is great but the service was lacking. It was not crowded at all (3 other tables and a few people at the bar) yet we still had to wait quite awhile for someone to take our order. Our appetizers arrived less than 5 minutes before our dinner. We were nearly done with our meal by the time someone came to ask if we wanted another drink (our glasses were empty for a good 30 minutes). Despite the service we would definitely eat here again. The food and cocktails were fantastic.

    I was looking for a Gluten Free Brunch to accommodate my daughter, and found CheSa's - AMAZING!!! The menu is 100% GF, which can often mean people who don't have a Gluten sensitivity will feel like they are missing something. NOT at CheSa's, the food was so good, and so original. We had a difficult time narrowing down what we wanted to eat, everything was so tempting. We ended up ordering the Lobster Benedict (to DIE for), and the Peach Bourbon Waffles. You would NEVER know the beignet waffles were GF. There were still so many other things we want to try that we will definitely be back for Brunch AND for Dinner :)
