Click below for a fantastic posting by James Lileks and his experience at The Cheesecake Factory. Here is a quote:
You can’t mistake The Desk at the
Cheesecake Factory. Popes have spoken from less impressive structures.
The clerk had her head down. Two other groups came up while I was
standing there. Both groups were served first. The First Law of
Cheesecake Factory Hostesses appears to be “help the party you see
first after raising your head from the computer terminal. ” Granted, it
was a tall desk, and I am short; perhaps only I was visible from the
forehead. But still. Times like these you want a Roman Candle. I swear,
if I’m going to get ignored because I’m short I’m going to dress in the
costume of the Lollipop Guild and beat people out of my way with a
large iridescent sucker. Finally her eyes found me. I smiled.
Classic! Fantastic! Enjoy.

Ha! I read that right before visiting your blog. Lileks is the best and was right on the money. My CF experience was quite similar but the wait was an hour longer than quoted. Our food was lousy but the cheesecake was pretty decent.
Do you have PFChang’s? Now that’s good eats.

AP,
Good to hear from you. Hope the new addition is doing well.
P.F. Changs ranks up there. But, just like CF, the waits are horrendous. If we go, we have to plan a light lunch with early (5 p.m.) dinner.
