The Cheesecake Factory

I had been to a couple of Cheesecake Factory restaurants in other states prior the opening of their Waikiki location, so I knew what to expect. Sure enough, the menu as thick as a novel (complete with ads) was there, along with the generous serving sizes. The fun part, of course, is selecting dessert from the long list of cheesecake. What suprised me, however, was that the restaurant actually had a fraction of what was listed on the menu. The hostess was very apologetic when she recited the list of cheesecakes that were not available. I don't know if I was more shocked that she remembered the entire list, or with the number of cheescakes that were not available. Still, it's well worth visiting. more

We were looking for a reasonable priced, "know it is going to be good meal" when we were on the first couple days of our honeymoon. Feeling completely jet lagged, we were walking down the street and came across Cheesecake Factory-- Let me tell you how much it hit the spot!! My husband had a cheeseburger and I had a club sandwich; exactly what both of us were looking for. The food tasted great and the french fries were excellent. The service was good and we actually did not have any wait when we walked in (a nice surprise because sometimes the wait at these places can be so long). We sat out near the patio which was nice because we were still inside in the nice cool air, but we could also watch people along the street. The one thing that we did not like was the birds that were walking around by our feet and flying inside... but honestly, this was everywhere we went in Oahu- so I guess it is something that just comes with the territory. Overall a very good experience. more
