Have been to various Cheesecake Factories throughout the US so was waiting until
the excitement of its opening and crowds wore down. Well thats not happening so fast. My daughter picked up a buzzer at 10:50 am, restaurant opens at 11:30 and we were told to come closer to the restaurant around 11:40. By then there was a long line up in the mall. We were seated by 11:50 which was great. It seems they have figured out the flow of seating better than what I read at their start. We ordered lunch sized salads (my fave Santa Fe, a Cobb and a Chicken Avocado). Happy to report the wheat bread and salads were exactly the same as we expected. The major disappointment was the iced tea. Was looking forward to unsweetened tropical yet they don't have it and the alternative was some strange flavour that tasted sweetened? Please please bring north that tea. We bought 5! slices of cheesecake to take home. Very pricey and I recall the slices being bigger but still yum. Overall we enjoyed our lunch. Shout out to Amanda who was a terrific waitress. Will I go back? Yes. But not until the wait times are reduced. Welcome to
Canada Cheesecake Factory.
