The Cheesecake Factory

Nice Waterfront Location with Attentive Service We visited The Cheesecake Factory for gluten-free dessert options. I had the Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake, which was rich, deeply cocoa-forward, and paired well with my caramel macchiato. My partner had the Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake (not gluten-free), which he enjoyed too. He also ordered a chocolate milkshake that initially came out tasting more like vanilla bean with little to no chocolate syrup. The server noticed right away and had it remade properly, which we appreciated. Service was attentive without being too much. Overall, it was a nice experience, especially with the convenience of being open later than other dessert options in the area—but we've had slightly better cheesecakes from other bakeries. Solid 4 stars.

Always enjoy visiting the Cheesecake Factory however this time was different. I have a gluten allergy and ordered the Four Cheese Pasta with Gluten Free Pasta. Their gluten free pasta is spirals and as you can tell by my photo there are two pieces of penne pasta on the left side which indicates to me that the gluten free items are made in the same bins that the other pasta is. I caught it after a few bites and thank heavens I did. The waitress took it back and they made me a new dish and even gave me $10 off my bill which I appreciate however this could have been a serious issue had I not noticed and kept on eating.
