The Cheesecake Factory, a mid-range priced, casual dining restaurant is a wonderful place for all ages. With the doors opening at 11am and closing at 11pm Mondays thru Thursdays and 12:30am on Fridays and Saturdays the Cheesecake Factory is perfect for many dining occasions. This restaurant located in Tukwila, Washington has a full alcohol bar with televisions throughout. Given the choice of indoor or outdoor seating, depending on the time and day you choose to eat out to this elegant restaurant you may want to consider making a reservation. Location also plays a role on how busy the place may be. The Cheesecake Factory being a chain restaurant has developed a well-known reputation making itself a good choice for any lunch, dinner or desert occasions. It also has developed itself as a more family style restaurant, with portions big enough to split into two. I would highly recommend the Cheesecake Factory to anyone for any occasion because the service is excellent, food is good and ambiance is welcoming all that exceeded my expectation. The service at the Cheesecake Factory was prompt and efficient. From the host stand through our entire meal we were well taken care of. Our waiter being very attentive towards our needs and knowledgeable about the menu gave us excellent recommendations on what to eat and drink. There was also no hesitation on what the drink had in it or the ingredients to specific dishes. As our soft drinks seem to become more diluted or our water glasses were starting to be less than half way full our waiter promptly refilled our drinks without unnecessary interruptions. When meals were handed out, there was no issue remembering who order what dish. Without asking, she offered if we needed anything else before she left us to eat our meal. Although the place was a little crowded our waiter seemed to make time to check up every now and then to see how we were doing. Not feeling rushed in between courses was important, because although there may have been a little bit of a wait they let us enjoy our dinner and who we were spending it with. The waiter kept our table well maintained, cleaning up at appropriate moments throughout our meal. Besides the unusual long wait for our receipt, the waiter made sure we were well taken care of. The food her are family size portions. With over two hundred choices and many different types of cuisine, there is something you are bound to find appetizing. Meals averaging around thirteen dollars and entrée, a place like this you better come starving. If you are like me and do not have any guilt about how many calories you are consuming until that next day you will definitely get a bang for your buck here. I order the Pasta De Vinci and it had sautéed chicken, mushrooms and onions in a Madeira wine sauce tossed with penne pasta and parmesan. The sauce was rich and full of flavor as the perfect amount of chicken was cooked perfectly, moisten to perfection. After eating half of my main course and saving the rest for later for when I get home, I saved room for the best course, desert. With the huge variety of cheesecakes the restaurant offers to its customers, one is bound to find something appealing to their palate. Ordering the Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake, the layers of chocolate cake, chocolate cheesecake and chocolate mousse satisfied my craving for sweets. The delicious, rich and decadent cheesecake served with lots whipped cream and a chocolate Godiva on topped served for a perfect presentation. The savory, mouth-watering cheesecake melts in your mouth with every bite consumed. The elegant atmosphere has a very warm affect. With the tall ceiling, warm tones and dimmed lights. The Cheesecake Factory’s décor has a very welcoming affect. White pillars stood perfectly at the entrance giving an ancient Greek feel. If you look around at the wallpaper like paintings are what make up the top of the ceilings and come down some parts of the walls. Depending on the hour, the noise levels could be loud and getting louder as the day progresses. Although at some points it felt crazy and almost zoo like, the staff and waiters made the environment friendly and pleasant to be around. The restaurant never seemed to lose its sense of cleanliness. The silverware in good conditions and the cups clear, not foggy made it more comfortable and inviting to eat at the restaurant. Another positive about the Cheesecake factory is that the booths were spacious and you always seem to have plenty of room between one another. Even though the tables were spacious and we had plenty of room between each other, the waiter did not seem to let that be an excuse to let up on letting drinks and dishes pile up. Overall I would recommend this place for any family looking to have a casual dining out with very tasty food. This place is very dynamic as it fits many occasions as first dates, anniversaries, business outings or just a lunch date with some friends wanting to catch up. The Cheesecake Factory has a wide range of food that satisfies many different appetites making it easier for groups not having to decide on one particular cuisine. Besides the food the service and atmosphere go hand in hand as they are both very warm and welcoming as your enter the restaurant. The Cheesecake Factory is the place to go if you are looking for a restaurant that will fulfill your hunger, meet your needs for service and wanting to enjoy a comfortable atmosphere.
