This was our first time to a Cheesecake Factory. We could understand why it is a favorite among many. We parked on the street a couple of blocks from the restaurant. It is $1/hour on the street. I'm not sure how much it is in the parking garage. We went on a January Saturday afternoon at about 1:00 PM, we were seated right away. Our waitress was attentive. The selection of food available is incredible and the portions are generous. I had the dynamite shrimp, lunch herb crusted salmon and the mango key lime cheesecake. Hubby had the wings and the mushroom burger with a side salad. We loved our food. The dynamite shrimp was deep fried and the sauce came on the side. I'm not sure what the dinner portion would have been for the herb crusted salmon but the lunch portion was pretty big already. It came with about five skinny asparagus and mashed potatoes. The cheesecake....YUM! It was really good. Based on the quality of the food and the selection, I would recommend The Cheesecake Factory.
