We had an amazing meal at The Cheesecake Factory! We ordered the cheeseburger spring rolls, five cheese penne, Parmesan-crusted chicken, and of course, two slices of cheesecake — every dish was absolutely delicious. While it's a bit more expensive than where I usually dine, the...Read More

It was a nice day, so we sat outside. Our waiter was good, even though he tended to put things on the table a little harder than necessary. The food was amazing. We will definitely go back.

The food was pretty good. It is labeled as a Bang Bang dish (Bang Bang Chicken and Shrimp), but there is no spice at all. The outdoor seating was great and our wait staff was really attentive.

Came here for my birthday, it was a wonderful choice! Food was delicious, not too expensive, and the atmosphere was lovely. I had no wait, because i got a reservation, but if you don't have one, you may have to wait longer.
