The Cheesecake Factory - Boise

Classic cheesecake experience yesterday...we came here for lunch which I didn't want to based on always being dissatisfied and disappointed in other locations. Walked in at approximately 12:45p and the restaurant was dead tons of open tables and the unfriendly hostess tells us it will be 10-15 mins for a table. After a quick look around not sure why unless everyone called in sick and they didn't have any staffing. What was a total turn off was the hostess/manager was not even friendly and has a chip on their shoulder. Once at our table our super friendly waiter comes over to take our drink order...we both had an Aperol Spritz and started off with avocado eggs rolls. Drinks were very tasty but the avocado egg rolls have changed and not for the good. For lunch we both ordered something off the skinnylicous menu...I had the turkey burger and my wife had the chicken pasta. Both dishes were ok....my burger had little to no flavor but cooked well and the side salad was a nice compliment. My wife liked the pasta dish and commented on how fresh she thought it was and being Italian this was a compliment. What was the total turn off was the way we were treated upon entry. This to me was the typical cheesecake experience and not surprised and the overall rating should not be a surprise.

Don't know the last time you've been to this restaurant but it's gone drastically down hill. It's like they have tried to cut costs with less staff and more filler food. Portions are still stupid large but now there is less meat and premium food. So it's just really large filler portions. Couldn't get the waitress to show up. Was so frustrated just had to get up and leave while my spouse paid. I love this place as stupid as that sounds but something has changed.

The girlfriend and I stumbled into this beautiful establishment the night before I left back home to Tulsa, Oklahoma as we wanted to have one last lovely evening together and boy were we not disappointed. We chose to sit at the bar with a very friendly bartender who by the way made absolutely amazing drinks, definitely one of the best vodka cranberry's I've had in quite some time. My love ordered the Chicken Pasta Carbonara and I ordered the White chicken chilli. Both had great proportions and tasted amazing. I found myself eating some of her pasta and I will definitely be ordering this next time. Aside from the great food and friendly service, the decor inside of this restaurant is absolutely amazing. It was an amazing dinner on our final night together for this trip and we both were happy it was spent in this wonderful establishment! Keep up the good work, we will be back for sure!

Happy hour on a weekday was excellent, we seated ourselves at a bar top table and were served drinks and bread quickly! Jenesis was an excellent server, she was super on it and we never had to ask for anything- she read our minds! Sitting in the bar is definitely a great option if there's room. $10 happy hour burger was excellent, didn't come with fries but that was ok. Dynamite shrimp was great, avocado egg rolls always good! And the chicken bellagio is my new Cheesecake Factory go-to. Two pieces of chicken, a generous portion of pasta, and perfectly seasoned! Excellent experience.

Whenever I'm traveling and looking for a place to grab a drink and a bite to eat, this spot is always my go-to! Sage at the bar was absolutely awesome, providing top-notch customer service even though she was busy. Her friendliness made the experience even better.And of course, I couldn't leave without getting a to-go slice of their amazing s'mores cheesecake! It's a must-try.
