| - You know, I always thought you can't go wrong with the Cheesecake Factory. Decent prices, good food, pretty big portions. My recent lunchtime visit proved me wrong.
Everyone was seated by the bar area, right next to each other, even though there was plenty of space in the restaurant. This placed us sandwiched between parties having very loud conversations without much wiggle room. Ok, fine.
Next, my date ordered the Lemon Herb roasted chicken. I ordered the mushroom burger. When we got our meals, the chicken was different than it has been in the past. Now, instead of the actual 1/2 chicken on the bone, it was chicken pieces (mostly boneless). Turns out, they'd changed the recipe THAT DAY- and hadn't changed the description on the menu, nor had the server thought to inform us of the change. So he had his mouth set for something in particular and was pretty disappointed when it arrived. Moreover, he ordered the sautéed spinach as a side dish, and it came out dry and barely cooked. They did bring a new side of spinach, but weren't very apologetic about the chicken, just tried to convince him that the new recipe was better.
My burger was fine, just a small slip up as I ordered a side of honey mustard that didn't come until I asked again for it.
We did get dessert to go, and the salted caramel cheesecake was pretty good.
Side note... the Cheesecake Factory was the only place he used his credit card that day. But the next day he got a fraud report- someone used the card info to try to make a large purchase at Cartier. Definitely suspicious.
I don't know that i would return to this location.
