The Cheesecake Factory is a restaurant chain that offers a wide variety of cheesecake (surprise!) and other food that we also ate. Though, I would've been fine just eating cheesecake for lunch.
This particular location was supposed to open at 11 a.m., but it was really more like 11:05. We weren't the only ones waiting for it to open.
Casey and Mel tried the tuna tartare appetizer:
Casey thought it was pretty good, but he was also expecting crap. Mel liked the avocado bottom.It's not that visible in the picture, but my freshly squeezed orange juice was two-toned:
I liked it because the pulp chunks weren't that noticeable.

I should note that when we were served our meals, Casey started chanting, "U-S-A! U-S-A!" We're not used to the massive American portion sizes. Usually, we just order more food.
I ordered Renée's special: one-half of a chicken salad sandwich, a cup of cream of chicken, and a small salad.
The soup was okay, but it was annoying how the skin kept forming on top. The bread for the sandwich was buttered on the outside which made it taste yummy but feel greasy. I thoroughly enjoyed the balsamic vinaigrette served with the salad. The whole dish was pretty filling, and I couldn't finish it because I had to save room for dessert/cheesecake(s).

The choices were a bit overwhelming for dessert, but I settled on a tiramisu cheesecake.
The colour is a bit more yellow than the picture of it on the site, but the cake itself was pleasant.

The banana cream cheesecake had a creamier/mushier texture, which I think is why we enjoyed it the most.

Also, it didn't really taste that special. The waitress mentioned something about a dollar from all red velvet cheesecakes sold going to some charity. I thought that was nice, but we later realized that the red velvet slice costs a dollar more than the others.
The three slices that we ate weren't overly sweet and didn't feel heavy.
Cheesecake!
Total damage: Approximately $25 USD.
