I sat at the bar because I was a solo diner. Luckily for me, despite them only opening a week ago, I did not have to wait (because I didn't get a table). At 4pm on their first Monday, the wait was estimated at 1.5-2 hours. That's after the 20 min wait to get your name on the list.
No bread was offered. Had to ask for that delicious brown one. Not sure if they forgot to offer or they just don't if you're seated at the bar ordering dinner.
Told there was a 45 min wait for cheesecake so I ordered my cheesecake at the same time as my meal. Got the Adam's peanut butter cup and it was divine. It arrived when my meal did which was fine by me.
The waitress entered my meal incorrectly so it arrived wrong, and then they sent it back and forgot a key protein in the dish the second round. Back it went again, and after 20 minutes it came out and was perfect. Bang Bang Chicken and Shrimp. One of the tastiest things on that giant menu. Order it with the "cilantro rice". You won't be disappointed.
Servers were super helpful. It was clear that they brought some from the states to help with opening week. It was easy to tell who was new and who was experienced. They were all very pleasant though.
Considering I was there for their first week, I was pretty happy with the overall experience. Because they have so many other restaurants in the states, I only offer a little leniency for not having things running a little smoother. Th pure volume of people is one thing, but once the restaurant is full, it's like any other full Cheesecake Factory restaurant in the states... and they should be prepared for the crowd and ensure their new staff are up to par. First Canadian operation though, so I do acknowledge the learning curve.
