I've been to cheesecake factories many times and in different locations. This time I celebrated someone special's birthday here...they don't really have any free treats for the birthday person though... The only thing that they did was to decorate your plate and to sing the birthday song for you. But it was a bit awkward because I felt like they weren't being enthusiastic lol. Oh well. I bet they were exhausted bec it was so many people's birthday. We ordered crispy crab wontons as an appetizer (was okay... Tasted better when I had it in Chicago), steak Diane (delicious! loved everything in this plate! mashed potatoes were flavorful and not dry, mushroom is perfectly grilled and so does steak), bistro shrimp pasta (not too heavy especially with arugula! enjoyed this dish a lot as well), and cookiesncreme cheesecake (absolutely noms! Slightly sweet though!) I also really like their decor. It feels like a story land haha. Cheesecake Factory has a huge selection of menu and their portions are huge... Sometimes it gets a bit difficult to get desserts, especially cheesecakes because that's what they are known for because I always unintentionally stuffed myself too much... So appetizers are probably not recommended if you are not a big eater... Overall, I tend to enjoy my visit to Cheesecake Factory and, in most cases, satisfy with its offerings, so I would return occasionally.
