The Cheesecake factory has two extensive menu's. The regular and the skinny which has smaller portions and lower calories. We were seated after only a few minute wait which was great for a Friday night without reservations. I suggest a booth over a table which provides a buffer for the surrounding noise. The large room can be conversation challenging when filled with diners. Our server was friendly and attentive.
The food ordering and preparation were timely.
The Crispy Chicken Costoletta consists of 3 breaded breasts sauteed and served with a lemon sauce, mashed potatoes and fresh asparagus. The 3 large breasts were tender and juicy with a crispy panko style breading. This was 1 meal for 2 people or 2 meals.
The Jamaican Black Pepper Shrimp was sauteed with a spicy pepper sauce. The entree is served with a choice of white or brown rice, along with black beans, plantains, and a cool mango sauce. The plantains were crispy outside and soft on the inside. The generous portion of shrimps were moderately spicy but not overwhelming. The cool mango was a nice contrast to the spicy shrimp.
The restaurant has a Happy Hour but be advised it is only in the bar area which at our arrival was at full capacity. The bar area is wide open and will be on the loud side.
