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 :)

We went for the Thanksgiving buffet and it was a lovely afternoon. The servers were quick with anything we needed and were always friendly. They were also helpful - my husband asked for Turkish coffee and the server responded that black coffee was included but there would be an extra charge for Turkish. Totally reasonable and I appreciated not getting a surprise added charge later. The food was solid, especially the cold apps/salads, cig kofte, lentil soup, bread basket, and the two meats made from ground meat. It's tough to prepare food for such a large group, so not surprising that the chicken kebabs were drier than I'd like. I was sad not to see any lamachun available, as it was listed. But that's okay as that's also something that's better when it's piping hot. At no point did anyone indicate that they needed our table, which can be a concern both at buffets and on holidays. We were able to relax between courses and enjoy the holiday as a family. I'd happily return!

About the restaurant

Located in Chicago’s River North neighborhood, Divan is an Exclusive Steakhouse & Supperclub Experience that features American steakhouse classics with refined European influences, curated by Executive Chef, Mike Sheerin.

The 150-seat, multi-level space lends itself to mini-experiences that range from private sommelier-lead wine tastings in the cellar with a range of localized international wines, and premier seating near the live music stage, to late-night champagne service.

With impeccable service and a commitment to quality, we invite guests to savor the finest cuts and deepest grooves in an ambiance that seamlessly blends sophistication with warmth, making every dining experience a masterpiece.
