I had not eaten at a Cheesecake Factory in a good 10 years, and I've spent those years thinking the Cheesecake Factory is just a typical chain with mediocre food and a large variety of cheesecake. I was pleasantly surprised with my recent visit to the Cheesecake Factory.
Pros/cons of my experience at this Cheesecake Factory:
Pros:
-Our server named Caleb was friendly, professional and attentive.
-My salmon dish was wonderful. The salmon tasted fresh, and the dill cream sauce was excellent. The sauce ratio was perfect since it lasted the whole meal as I was able to eat every bite of my salmon, broccoli and potatoes with the sauce and still had a little extra when I was finished eating. (Well, I'm someone who could simply drink dill cream sauce ...)
-The cheesecake (we tried tiramisu and chocolate chip cookie dough) was heavenly.
Cons:
-The mushrooms with my salmon dish weren't cooked very much, and they were sort of bland. They seemed raw in texture.
-While the chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake was great, the actual cookie dough chunks in the cake had an off flavor like processed cookie dough. I know the flavor of from-scratch cookie dough, and this was not it.
-Why are the calories for each slice of cheesecake typed on the menu?!
I'll definitely return.
