For me, The Cheesecake Factory works. I like the big menu though I tend to stick to a few favorites. The food is always impressive and delicious. Yes, it is a little pricey and corporate is probably raking in a tidy sum, but I generally love eating out and the high prices just means I won't be here quite as much, but I will make the pilgrimage a few times a year.
People talk about the high calorie entrees, but the "Skinny-licious" menu solves all this. I usually order off of that menu to either save room for dessert or because I'm watching my calories and I have never been disappointed. Everything I've ordered off that menu is excellent and I can't believe I'm eating a low-cal meal.
Also enjoy the bread basket -- the darker bread (rye/pumpernickel?) rocks. The standard bread is good, but not as much as the other in my opinion.
I'm sure it's no surprise to anyone that the cheesecake selection is impressive. When we do treat ourselves, one slice for the two of us is all we need. Yummy!
