The Cheesecake Factory

I recently visited The Cheesecake Factory at the Arcadia shopping mall, which is still labeled as Westfield Santa Anita on the official website, though it 's no longer part of Westfield. I discovered they offer happy hour from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. After being seated at a table by the wall with the full menu, I asked for the happy hour menu. The usher informed me that happy hour was only available at the bar area, so I 'd have to switch tables if I wanted to enjoy it. Fried Calamari $9.95 This was the first dish served, and it exceeded my expectations. The portion was large, not just a small happy hour sample, but a full plate. The calamari was fried to perfection li...

I haven't been to Cheesecake Factory in the longest time but I do remember that the wait times can be very long, especially on a weekend. This was my first time at this Arcadia location. It was a Saturday around 3pm. Because we were with our in-laws and cousins (9 of us I went in to see if I can get a reservation. The hostess said they don't typically do that but she asked her manager anyway. The manager was AJ. He was very nice and accommodating. He asked how many of us in our party. Since I wanted an earlier dinner time (5pm he said he can give me the reservation. SWEET!! When we got there at our reservation time, they had us seated at a nice, big, round table that perfectly fit our big pa...

I want to make it clear I've been going to this mall since I was little and I've been going to this Cheesecake Factory ever since I was little and almost always have had a good experience. However, going today was my worst experience and I probably won't be coming back at all. I called ahead of time to ask if outdoor seating was available as I like to bring my dog with me when I go out for my days off. I understand some patrons may be allergic or may not want to sit near a dog so out of courtesy, I always asks restaurants for an outdoor seat, and if there is no outdoor seating, I just don't eat there. No issues. I was told that there is outdoor seating and I told them I would be bringing my...

The service everytime I have come has always been great! It's a dimly lit restaurant that gives a more cozy romantic vibe. This was more in the night. I've also come during the daytime and it's well lit. The reason why I feel it deserves 3 stars is because the food always sounds AMAZING but I constantly feel like the dishes taste just ok. I decided to try the shepherds pie. It has peas, carrots, onions, beef, mushrooms, cheesy mashed potatoes, and gravy. Like I said above it was just ok. Nothing that I would crave or order again. The best part of the dish was the mashed potatoes on top. The one dish that NEVER fails is the avocado eggrolls!! They are amazingly creamy but crunchy. The sauce i...

Cheesecake Factory is one of the better chain restaurants why? Let's find out! First, it never fails to get good service, they are always very attentive, even on busy days. I came with a party of 5 and were seated by the host and greeted by the waitress. I love the setting of this place, romantic, classy, and modern all in one. The menu options included Italian, American, Asian, cocktails, lighter fare for those on a diet, and plenty of options for those not on a diet lol. Ordered the chicken pasta on the lighter fare menu paired with a Stella and Oreo cheesecake. Talk about a balanced meal? Haha, beer came out in 5 mins, food in 15 mins. Very quick! Quality is on point, I thought the pasta...

We got here just around noon on a Saturday and the wait was only about 5 minutes. We got the Shepard's pie on the lunch special menu as well as the fried chicken and waffle Benedict. Both are great brunch options! The chicken was tender and crispy yet not overly salty at all. The poached eggs were cooked to perfection! Very solid egg dish! We also go the lunch edition Shepard's pie and it's exactly what we are expecting and great portion for sharing as well! Can't forget about the brown bread simply the best! (We totally forgot to take pictures until half way through! A very solid option if you are looking for brunch spots in the area!

I had an overall positive experience. The service was good, and the staff were attentive. They initially messed up my first order, but they promptly cooked me a new dish and sincerely apologized for the mistake. The food was overall a 9/10. The chicken in the Pasta Da Vinci was a bit dry, though I believe that's just how it typically is prepared. Additionally, one side of the crispy Chicken Costoletta was a little too crispy, almost burnt. Despite these minor issues, I appreciated their effort to make things right, and I would likely return for another meal.

I prefer the Pasadena location. I ordered the Da Vinci plate and it was bland and dry. The only thing that gave it some taste was the cheese the waiter offered. The waiter was not attentive and spoke very low which made it hard for me to hear, especially, when all other guests are talking at the same time. I ordered the same at the Pasadena location and it tasted better, it even came with the sauce

The pasta dish was generously sized and came with shrimp instead of chicken. We also had a delicious chocolate fudge sundae for dessert.
