| - Hubby and wifey had the pleasure of sampling the menu prior to their actual opening, of course, sans the Porkiebun to make a date night out of it.
Cheesecake Factory boasts a HUGE menu selection. Thankfully, for the soft opening, we were given only a limited menu. For appetizer, we had the egg roll platter (avocado, salmon, crispy Cuban and tex-mex). These rolls were exquisite, especially the avo rolls. Hubby then had the Chicken Reisling (chicken breast with Reisling wine sauce served with pasta). It was ok at most, nothing to celebrate about. Wifey had the Hibachi Steak, which was definitely a 10/10 for tenderness and flavour. Would absolutely go back for this steak. It was served with wasabi mashed potatoes and tempura asparagus. Everything on that plate was just so delicious and complimented each other well. For dessert, hubby and wifey shared a slice of chocolate mousse cheesecake. The best thing we always loved about cheesecake factory cakes is that despite their richness, the sweetness is never overwhelming.
Overall, hubby and wifey are positive they will be repeat customers, with the Porkiebun next time. Ambiance was as expected, if you've been to other locations in the States. Side note, wifey also got to try their red sangria. It was good but just a tad too sweet. Their iced tea was not the Canadian Nestea we are used to, it was the American sweetened iced tea (which was good). With a bottle of Stella for the hubby, the bill (with tax) came out to about $110ish. Our whole meal was complimentary in exchange for filling out a survey that the staff will review prior to their Nov 21 official opening.
