| Today I am going to tell you about, The Cheesecake Factory. This place is definitely a fabulous place for everything from Sandwiches to fine dining. The minute you walk in, you will see that you are in no ordinary restaurant. The decorations, atmospheres, fancy art designs, special lighting and ambiance is superb. It makes you feel like you are dining in some sort of fantasy, where everything is just perfect and plentiful. If you are interested in Bars, you have to see this one. It faces the windows looking outward, but has the bottles being illuminated by the outside light, which makes it look like each bottle is just going to come alive and hop onto the bar itself. Just a fascinating look, which also has two televisions, keeping you up to date with all of the latest sports information. When you are seated to your private table, you get a full sense of what Fine Dining is really about, from the utensils to the soft light coming from the candle on your table. The minute you sit down, you are taken away to a special place where you forget about your daily routine, work and normal everyday monotonous life. Its hard to explain, but its like taking a passage into paradise. Now for the Menu, which is very large, full and just has a bit of everything you can imagine. From Salads, Chicken, Steak, Seafood, Pasta, Sandwiches, Burgers and much, much more. It is very extensive and has something for everyone. No matter what your in the mood for, you can find it here. Plus, you get a wonderful basket of piping hot, fresh baked, bread in various grains. After reviewing the menu for a bit of time, so much to look at, we tasted a couple items, the Meatloaf and the Cuban Sandwich. Now, you probably ask, why did we try the Pressed Warm Cuban, in a Fine Dining Restaurant. Well, let me explain, being that a Cuban Sandwich is relatively simple to make, there are not many restaurants that know how to prepare it correctly. We wanted to make sure that we gave them a well rounded review, and we enjoyed every bit of it. There is one word that can explain the Cuban Sandwich and that is EXCELLENT, right down to the pickles. It had the correct amount of finely seasoned Meat, Mustard, Pickles, Cheese, and served warm on a pressed Baguette. The Cheese was perfectly melted and covered the edges of the bread perfectly. We had our Choice of Fries or a Salad with it and went with a Nice Salad, which was a Spring mix with a light Vinaigrette, which was very mild and tasty. The Meatloaf was Excellent also, with just the right amount of Herbs and seasonings to make your mouth water till the cows come home. The gravy was light, tasty, and well blended with the correct amount of ingredients to keep a huge smile on your face while you were eating. It came with a vegetable Succotash and mashed potatoes with just enough potato skin in it to be visible. Both were very good and a nice compliment for such a wonderful meal. Now of course, after eating all of this, you have to wonder how we had dessert? Well, we were full, but after seeing all those fine looking desserts coming out of the Bakery, you know we had to try it. It would not have been right to leave without trying such a wonderful dessert and we are glad we did. There is such a wide variety of Cheesecakes to try, that anyone would have problems trying to choose which one to order. There are Fruit Cheesecakes, Chocolate Cheesecakes, Peanut Butter Cheesecakes, Oreo Cookie Cheesecakes, Low Carb Cheesecake and so on. All I can say is, so many Cheesecakes, and so little time. Plus they have tons of other great desserts too. But since we love Cheesecake, we tried their Hershey Cheesecake and let me just say one word to describe it, "Heaven." Overall, The CheeseCake Factory is a Wonderful Dining Experience and Truly a fabulous place to visit. From everything from Atmosphere, Service, Drinks, Dining, Desserts and more. If you haven't been, you have to go and try it, we promise once you go, you will be back time after time. The nice thing about The CheeseCakee Factory is, every time you go, you can experience something different with such an extensive menu of fabulous foods that will make your taste buds dance all night long.
