| - With the many choices available to Vegasites, it's always tough for me when a friend suggests a place like the Cheesecake Factory. I'm totally not a hater (okay... well, in this case, maybe I am a little bit)... but when you live in a foodies paradise, is that the best you can do? Anyhoo... I pull into the parking lot and there's a Semi Limo (as in, truck in the front, limo in the back) in the parking lot. Immediate thought: only in Vegas.... maybe I will be surprised. And, surprised I was. I went for the Spicy Chicken Salad (sub-ing the bird for the shrimp) and was surprised at the freshness of the mixed greens, the bite in the peppers and the distinctiveness of the cilantro. The spicy vinaigrette was also a nice touch. This salad was not the type that would have been made in the Cheesecake Factory I remembered.
Can I give CF higher than 3 stars? No, not when there are so many other fabulous restos in this city. But, for a good go-to place with lots of options and decent service, you can't go wrong with this place.
