Editorial Review for The Cheesecake Factory – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Oddball architecture--curving surfaces and colorful light fixtures--and thick-as-a-book menus distinguish this restaurant from other eateries. The encyclopedic menu spans the globe with enormous American interpretations of dishes like pad thai, shrimp tacos, miso salmon, pasta Milanese and a slate of appetizers, sandwiches, entrees and desserts too extensive to list. The namesake cheesecakes, ranging from original to peanut-butter-cup-fudge ripple, are over the top in both concept and decadence.

Went here for the first time a couple weeks ago and I won't be back. The food is good, but the table service was slow and poor, and the seating hostess was downright rude, being visibly annoyed that she had to wait for the slow walking speed of our 93-year-old guest. Finally the little darling just galloped ahead, slapped some menus on the table, and abandoned us before we were anywhere near the table. This, coupled with an outrageous wait time and ridiculously crowded lobby when the restaurant tables were mostly empty, indicates a poorly organized staff and / or an attempt at pretentious exclusivity. The food is mostly good, but not worth the noise level and aggravation of the poor service. Menu is misleading, tho, not mentioning any garlic in items that were soaked in way too much of it. Don't bother with this place. You can get good food and much better attitudes elsewhere.
Pros: good food (watch the garlic levels though)
Cons: terrible service, noise, long wait.

Good food, great service. A bit corporate but Edina doesn't mind. The waitress probably threw your pizza in a tiny box because that's the only size to go's that they have. Take that up with management/corporate. Why are there no lemons in the lemonade?
