We have been going to Cheesecake Factory in the US for a long time - more than 15 years. We first discovered it a long time ago in Vegas.
Waited til the hype is done because we are not the type to wait more than one hour for food.
We were at Yorkdale today and decided to order my daughter's favourite pasta Da Vinci for take out. Excited since we would not have to wait in line for table.
We specifically asked for non-lunch portion. When we picked up the food, was a little surprised cost was $27 but it's our favorite so we didn't mind.
When we brought the food home, we were very surprised to see how small the portion was. The pasta was one layer flat and did not even cover half of the container.
There is no way we got a regular portion of pasta since we just had the same dish last month in Buffalo.
Lesson learned: next time we should open our container and check our food before leaving the restaurant.
Although I doubt we would ever visit the restaurant again in TO.
