We were so excited to make the journey to Yorkdale to try out Canada's first Cheesecake Factory. We arrived at the mall around 11:00 and saw the line was crazy long. We decide it was early and would circle back. Around 3:30 we went back to see there was no line at the host stand. We spoke to the host and she said that we would get a buzzer and to come back in about an hour and check in. So we continue to shop around the stores close to the restaurant and the time passed rather quickly. We went back in a hour and she said we had about 30 more mins. So we just hung out waiting for our buzzer to go off, once it did we basically got our table right away.
We were both starved and saw all the pasta dishes passing us by, that looked very good. So we both decided to order pasta I had the pasta carbonara with chicken and it was SO good creamy and cheesy everything a good carbonara is suppose to be. I had the lunch portion and it was still very large. My friend had a cheesy garlic pasta with chicken and herbs she quiet enjoyed it and her dinner portion was too large to finish.
After we finished our meals our waitress told us that we needed to order the cheesecake we wanted cause there is about a 30min wait due to the large amounts of cheesecake being ordered.
So as difficult as it was we made our choices I had the Carmel pecan turtle cheesecake and my friend had the lemon raspberry cheesecake. We both thoroughly enjoy them and each order a couple slices to go to bring home to jealous and drooling family members. Our waitress was very helpful and accommodating she made it seem like everyone does that.
Overall we thought the experience was great and well worth the trip. We would definitely return again.
