| - I don't come to The Cheesecake Factory often but when I do, I always enjoy myself. The food is pretty consistent from one of their restaurants to another and this location was no exception. Came here on a dinner date sometime between 4-5 pm. Parking was hard to find, so had to park toward the very back.
When we stepped into the restaurant we thought we'd be waiting around for a long time since there were lots of people waiting to be seated, but we were surprised to be seated immediately. We were seated close to the kitchen where it was super loud. Kept hearing things being dropped on the floor.
Our waitress came by quickly and took our drink order, brought it back quickly along with some fresh warm bread with butter. I love the dark bread that they bring out. Not sure what kind it is, but it was soft and has a bit of a sweet taste to it. Their sourdough bread was hard and dry, barely edible! After about 10 minutes she came back to take our food order.
I ordered the Crispy Beer Battered Fish tacos that came with 3 street tacos, rice, and black beans. The tacos were delicious, but not much to them. Each taco had a small piece of fish, avocado, tomatoes, onions, cilantro and a chipotle sauce. Rice was good, well cooked and seasoned. I think it was a cilantro rice, but can't certain about that. Black beans were tasty as well. Cost $15.50. My guest got the Fettuccini Alfredo. The noodles were well cooked, not overcooked or undercooked. The sauce was tasty, however, it wasn't anything special. It tasted like something you could've gotten at the store. They did give plenty of sauce on the noodles. This cost $16.95. We planned on getting some cheesecake to go, but when we left, the line for ordering cheesecake was super long.
Pros:
1. Our waitress was nice.
2. Food was good.
3. Nice location and easy to find.
4. Large menu to choose from.
Cons:
1. Too busy at this location.
2. The waitress came by only once during the time we were there. She seemed overwhelmed with the number of tables she had to attend to.
3. Prices keep going up on their food. The main reason why I don't come often. For two people, without getting drinks or dessert costs over $30 plus tip and we didn't even get the "expensive" items on the menu.
4. Very loud. It was so loud at dinner time that I could hardly hear myself think, let alone hear what my date had to say. There were noises from the kitchen, the staff singing Happy Birthday 3 times, kids and babies crying and screaming, and then just the normal noise of people talking.
Prices and how loud this place was, making my dining experience not as nice is what makes my review a 3 star instead of a 4 star.
