Dining Experience-Cheesecake Factory

Last Saturday I told my family that we were going out to dinner for my School project. Kids were really amused by that. They like the idea of going out to eat but didn’t like the fact that I was going to choose the restaurant. I have a ten years old son and thirteen years old daughter. Needless to say, kids always fight when it comes to picking a restaurant but they both agree upon going to Olive Garden. My husband and I like that restaurant too but we like to try different foods. My husband had always wanted to go to Cheesecake Factory for long time so I chose Cheesecake Factory for my ‘dining experience’ project.





Easting at Cheesecake Factory was a wonderful dining experience for our entire family. The cheesecake factory offers a unique experience in upscale fine dining. I didn’t know this until I went to that restaurant yesterday for the first time. I am glad that I chose Cheesecake Factory for blogging my dining experience. Part of the experience is enjoying its outstanding décor. When we got there we were really impressed by the exterior of the building. I was equally impressed with the giant wood door at the entryway and beautifully painted huge Egyptian columns. The beautiful colored floral murals on the walls and ceiling with dim accent lighting set the mood. You feel special to be in such a special place!

The Cheesecake Factory offers extensive menu with large portions. I learned that they have 20 menu items made from scratch every day! No wonder their food tastes so fresh and delicious! My daughter ordered the New Orleans Shrimp dish. It had shrimp in a sweet soy sauce, sautéed vegetables, and white rice. She loved it very much and finished that huge portion by herself! My son and husband ordered steak. It was good too (may be nothing extraordinary). I think my dish was the best of all! I ordered Pecan crusted catfish, which was on the special menu that day. It was the most delicious and flavorful dish I ate in a very long time! Main dish was sautéed catfish (coated with crunchy pecan seasoning) floating in flavorful butter-garlic sauce, with two sides of mashed potatoes, and corn succotash. I never thought I could eat that big portion but I finished my dish and enjoyed every bite of it! Though we were all full after eating big-portioned dinners, we shared one delicious strawberry cheesecake together. I can’t wait to go back to Cheesecake Factory to enjoy this wonderful dining experience again!
