I never been to the Cheesecake Factory so we decided go here. We had a fairly large group which included four kids all under the age of 5. The service was really nice and attentive. The overall atmosphere here is very loud which probably makes it good for large groups/noisy families. If you want more of an intimate atmosphere for maybe a "date night" then this is not for you. Food was tasty. Portion size very large even for lunch portions. Would come here again.
