I'm definitely torn between 3 and 4 stars. But since it was better than I thought it was going to be, I'll round up. It was my first visit since usually over the top chain restaurants aren't my thing. But, lo and behold, I found myself there with a friend the other night. I felt like I walked through a narnia door of West Towne Mall into a Vegas casino restaurant. It's a huge place, and was pretty busy on a Friday night. But we got a table right away. The menu was extremely aggravating. It was too large - too many pages and too many sections. And fine, yes it's good to list calories so everyone knows how much they're going to eat, the calories in everything there was appalling. I mean, it didn't stop me, but still appalling. The only way to get a meal under 1000 kcal is to order from the Skinnylicious menu. Yes, that's what's it's called. Is this place especially built for pre-bachelorette party dinners? Grrr. One last complaint, our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable, but way too overbearing. She must have stopped by our table 20 times just to check on us. If you're wondering if I gave them four stars by mistake, hang in there. We had cocktails that were amazing and our food was fantastic. I loved my Asian pear martini and the miso salmon was delicious. The Korean cauliflower was ok,but it had too much breading. Wine/beer list was ok. And yes, the cheesecake was good. Not best thing I've ever eaten good, but yummy. Service was overall very good. Everything was served in such large quantities that we had a lot of leftovers. I won't rush back, but I'll be much less dubious when friends tell me how much they like the Cheesecake Factory.
