We went to two cheesecake factories while on vacation. One was in the forum shops area of Caesars, the other was in Beverly Hills just off Rodeo Drive. They are absolutely amazing restaurants!!

CAESARS

While examining their giant menu we decided on a nice Berringer Cabernet Sauvignon which is sold here under their label.

After we ordered our wine, a basket of fresh breads arrived at our table.

Their menu is quite extensive and varied, which makes selection so hard, however my wife and I chose the same dish, herb crusted salmon.

Despite being so covered in herbs, it tasted divine and not a bit over done. The mashed potatoes under the fish were melt in your mouth and the asparagus spears were cooked perfectly and not mushy. This meal was excellent!

Normally I avoid dessert after such a large portion, but since it was the Cheese Factory, I had to indulge. So we examined the dessert menu of cheesecakes and other desserts.

Since the mains were so large we decided to split the dessert and chose the Tiramisu cheesecake. It was light not heavy and spectacular!!!

My wife accompanied it with a coffee and I had a double espresso.

The meal was incredible and any dishes I saw come out of the kitchen were impressive. The price was very reasonable for what we had.

BEVERLY HILLS

We also managed to have lunch at the Cheesecake Factory near Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills - it too was amazing!!

My wife had the fetuccine alfredo it was divine!

I had a half turkey sandwich and salad (the pic did not turn out well).

We absolutely enjoyed both cheesecake factories and would certainly return. They are well run, have great food and service and are very reasonably priced - a winning combination!! They have become one of our favourite restaurants!!
