The Cheesecake Factory - Arlington

I had the Cajun Jambalaya and it was delicious. I didn't know what to expect but glad I choose it because I always order the Meatball and Spaghetti. Went back again tonight Desmond did a wonderful job.

Located I'm Clarendon so there's some street parking snd somewhere parking garages around. I had called ahead to order ab10 inch cheesecake and a Happy Birthday chocolate plaque to pick up. Thay interaction was a little strange as she asked me if I wanted my sour cream for the cheesecake on top or on the side. I thought she had meant whipped crean but she insisted it was sour cream and then also forgot to take my name until I mentioned if she needed addition information for me to pick it up. We came here for dinner and sat down in addition to picking up the cake. The dinner was great and service was amazing. I ordered a skinny mojito and my boyfriend ordered the Bourbon and Honey. Both were great. For our appetizers, we ordered the Korean Fried Cauliflower and the Chicken Taquitos. The Cauliflower was really good but took some time to make. I ordered the taquitos probably 15 min after when we were putting in our entrees and it still came out first. It was airtight, good flavor but actually a little cold inside. For dinner I ordered the Grilled Steak Medallions and my boyfriend ordered the Truffle Honey Chicken. The steak Medallions were good. They were well cooked and the mashed potatoes and shiitake mushrooms were good too. The truffle Honey chicken was a little disappointing. Not too much flavor but it was a decent fried chicken. Service was great. Our server was attentive and helped us grab the cheesecake that we ordered. It did come with sour cream which to me is still very strange.

Service was amazing. There was a wait but the hostess sat us as soon as possible and the waiter was amazing. Prompt, courteous, friendly and attentive. The food was phenomenal in presentation and flavor. Wow! Can't remember a time I've had such an amazing experience anywhere else. Definitely plan to return.

It?s usually difficult to write a review for a Cheesecake Factory restaurant and here is why: the dishes are delicious (same menu every where, maybe pre-made dishes? , the setting ambiance is cozy but the service is medium or even mediocre. This one was no exception: the service was medium minus. The waitress made a couple of mistakes and we had to ask for refills for drinks many times. But the dishes were those we love in these restaurants? So I guess we can say the whole experience was average.

We came for brunch on Sunday and it was so great! We have never had a bad experience at a cheesecake factory, but this was our first time here for brunch. The breakfast burrito ???? was delicious and the Monte Cristo was great as well. The home fries were perfectly crispy. The peach ???? Bellini was straight perfection! The Carmel macchiato ? was super sweet. Obviously the cheesecake factory never disappoints.
