My "Oh NO! Not another chain restaurant" misgivings were assuaged.

It's a nice place to get plastered after a seeing a movie at the place across the street, or a play at the place a couple blocks away. The high ceilings and Egyptian motifs are a draw for me, though admittedly "cheesecake" isn't the first thought that comes to mind when I see the place; and it's not a good place for a 'cheap' date. They are one of those businesses that supposedly hires "secret shoppers" to spy on their employees, and judging from the level of knowledge and the politeness of their servers, I tend to believe that either that is true, or they receive a ton of training, or both. Don't expect to get a table immediately -- ask how long the wait is, go shopping, and come back in 25 minutes.
