The Cheesecake Factory - Washington

It's been a while since my last visit, but it was my first time at a Cheesecake Factory, and I instantly wanted to return. I ordered a chicken and two-colored pasta dish with a creamy sauce that was incredibly delicious and comforting. I enjoyed it so much that I continued to order it until they unfortunately took it off the menu (which I really dislike!). The strawberry cheesecake with whipped cream that we brought home was moist and fantastic as well.

The fried zucchini was the best I've ever had. Nick was incredibly laid back and fantastic. Zayn, with his beautiful eyes, will undoubtedly win everyone over, just like Kimberly has already done with her smile. Awesome experience!

The people-watching experience was outstanding—some people were a bit out there, while others were more normal, but overall, it was a wonderfully quirky mix. Our server, Nick, was fantastic, and Kimberly really impressed me with her service as well. At the entrance, my friend is still smitten with someone who isn’t exactly worth the fuss. I’ve had to tone down my reaction to that wild guy in purple socks. On a side note, the zucchini here is the best I’ve ever tasted. Nick’s laid-back attitude was refreshing, and Zane, with his striking eyes, is sure to charm the world, just like Kimberly’s smile has already done.

The Cheesecake Factory features a vast menu that can be a bit overwhelming due to the many choices. Unfortunately, the service at this location left much to be desired. Even though there were plenty of seats available indoors, we were ushered to a less appealing spot near the entrance, right next to large windows. To make matters worse, we weren't offered the usual bread basket. Instead, we were quickly handed menus and urged to place our orders without delay. The waitstaff seemed unfriendly and inattentive. On top of that, when we ordered a red velvet cake to take home, we ended up with a classic cheesecake instead. Overall, while the food itself deserves a solid three out of five, the service was so lacking that it warrants a zero.

Cheesecake Factory is already overwhelming because of the amount of options on their menu. This particular location was just very different. When we first came in no one greeted us and just kept walking past. We had to walk over to the bartender to be attended to. When sat down at a high table on the bar area and was given a menu. Ten minutes go by and no one still comes to take our order so my bf got up to ask who our waiter is. The bartender explained It would be me. Listen, there were 3 other tables.. our drink over wasn’t even in yet.. but nevertheless. We order everything at the same time so there wouldn’t be any further delay. Another 10 mins go by and we didn’t receive any of their good good bread, so my bf got up again to ask. My bf is so sweet lol that finally came out We ordered potstickers salty Chicken and shrimp Gumbo lacked flavored but cooked well And Korean fried chicken, which is very similar to their cashew chicken that they used to have on their menu. this was tasty but had lima beans and pickled onions, which did not pair well. Solid 3 stars for effort
