    Tomato Basil Pasta
    Angie H.

    This is second review the first one I ordered a take out, this one I went in person with family. Ordered several dishes such as Herb crusted Salmon, Fried zucchini, Thai lettuce wraps and many others. The service was great our attendant "Jerry" was on the look out and brought the food right away, filled our drinks and continuously checked to make sure everything was okay. The Ambiance was bustling for a week day. Had a great time and the food was appetizing.

    Cinnabon Cinnamon Swirl Cheesecake - heaven on a plate
    Liz L.

    We happened to be at the fabulous Topanga mall this weekend, for shopping, etc., so, I thought it was a perfect time to try my sixth or seventh Cheesecake Factory, and so we did. I especially love this one. It was large, clean, airy, and bathed in soft pink light that made us all look ten years younger (yay! this is where I should take all my selfies, LOL). The place was packed, as was the mall, and even though we were one hour early for our reservation, they kindly found us a great booth within minutes. Our server was the ever-smiling Jackie and she was wonderful the whole time. (And, she did the boxing of our leftovers, always love that!) I know most everyone reading this review is likely quite familiar with Cheesecake Factory and here's why: it rarely disappoints. How's that? Well, the ginormous menu, the astonishing portion sizes, the routinely delicious (I know, I know, "fat-salt-sugar") dishes and the genuinely comforting vibes in the place. Whatever that playlist was, it was happy and heavenly in a hip sort of way. There were a few of us so we over-ordered, of course, and saved room for the incredible eponymous cakes. Love! My photos do the rest of the 'splainin'. This is now one of my favorite CF's and so I know we will be back.

    Alfredo Kids' Pasta
    oriya m.

    This is a simple, casual restaurant, but we had a really nice experience. We came with our three kids, and from the moment we arrived, everything went smoothly. We were seated quickly, and our waitress was genuinely kind, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal. The food came out surprisingly fast, which made a big difference when dining with children. Everyone in our family found something they enjoyed, and all of us were happy with our meals. The food was tasty, fresh, and exactly what we were expecting. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, making it an easy place to enjoy a family meal. If you're looking for a simple restaurant with good service, quick food, and a comfortable atmosphere, this is definitely a place worth visiting. We would happily come back.

    It was a busy Saturday night on Mother's Day weekend at Westfield Topanga! The husband planned on dinner at CF before our movie, but the wait was too long. We decided to order to-go instead and take it down to The Social. Our food was ready at the time promised. The team members at the bakery were friendly and helpful. They made sure our order was complete and didn't hesitate to give us ice water in to-go cups. Everything was packed very well. My Korean Fried chicken was nicely fried on the outside, perfectly moist on the inside and had just the right amount of heat. The veggies, kimchi and brown rice provided different levels of texture and flavors. The husband thoroughly enjoyed his French Dip Cheeseburger. Based on past experiences we knew to order it rare. The carryover cook gets it to his preferred temp of medium rare. The complimentary bread was fresh and always so good with butter. The Social was so much calmer and far less crowded. It turned out to be a great place for our dinner. We ended up with extra time to shop right before heading to AMC.

    New review. Came for happy hour. 4-6pm. Of course, both of the two breads are tasty with some butter. However we skipped on drinks this time. (Yes, I'm not an alcoholic!) Recently I got the JW pinks lemonade. It was nostalgic (one of the first alcoholic drinks I got back in 2001, at the old Canoga location.). Tasty for a vodka cocktail, sugar covered rim. We got 3 appetizers. Avocado rolls. It was excellent 30 years ago, and still super tasty. Tamale ( forget the exact name ) - to my surprise....but it was actually great! The best of the 3 tonight. Highly recommend . Fried Mac n cheese. . Tasty yes , can't go wrong. Service was excellent, the lady was super kind. The happy hour of bites is pretty solid, will return and will try more. The menu for regular food is pretty extensive as in the past. My two favorites from the past, are no longer on the menu. I'll just stick with their happy hour program.

    The Bottom Line 3 stars: Recommended with reservations as noted down below. I'm a regular and the Cheesecake Factory is one of my comfort food destinations, whenever I am looking for no nonsense, delicious and reasonably priced food and drinks nearby with a casual and relaxed vibe. I sincerely hope that they would address their misleading tipping recommendations and the service inconsistencies. Read on for more details :) Location 3 stars: Chain restaurant on the West end of the Topanga Mall, off of the Topanga Canyon Blvd. You can enter from inside the mall and from outside (the parking lot side). It is located literally next to the North Italia Restaurant. Free self-parking is available but can be difficult on weekends due to the mall traffic and the nearby movie theater crowd. Be prepared to walk a bit. Venue 4 stars: Nicely appointed larger restaurant with modern décor; similar to other Cheesecake Factory locations. Outdoor seating and inside tables and booths. They also have a bar area that has some tables and chairs. They do take reservations on their website, which I recommend doing because it does get quite busy on weekends. Service 3.5 stars: Server dependent... We have had good and very bad, but never very good :( Billing 0 stars: I was disappointed that on the check they recommend the tip amount based on the total after tax, which is not correct. Tipping is customarily calculated based on the total before tax. Some restaurants have been trying to do this recently which I find misleading and I will be calling them out on it. I have posted a picture of my check. Drinks 4 stars: Full bar: Good selection of specialty cocktails, low-calorie "SkinnyLicious®" cocktails, premium spirits and mocktails, beer (tap and bottle), wine, soft drinks, coffee and tea. Food 4: Huge menu, and I mean huge! Modern American fare along with European and Asian inspired staples. Food is pretty decent, consistent and reasonably priced, and portions are large. They have Breakfast all day and a low-calorie "SkinnyLicious®" menu. They also have Brunch on Saturdays and Sundays which includes an expanded menu of their breakfast items in addition to their regular menu.

    As always avocado egg rolls are delicious. Had burger sliders that were great. Wait staff attentive prices ok. Pasta is cheap... don't know why pasta dishes are $$$$. Good dinner

    The Cheesecake Factory, Topanga Canyon for our party of 7 not 8.
    Shik P.

    Dined here for Sunday lunch with the family. We like Cheesecake Factory, specifically this Topanga Canyon location. This location is consistent with providing great customer service. During this visit our wait time for our party of 7 was between 10 to 15 minutes. Ordered one of our many favorites from the Cheesecake Factory menu. Always plenty of options and a variety selection of food items on their menu. Our lunch consisted of 2 orders of Fried Calamari as appetizers, Eggs with Steak, Chopped Salad, Lemon Garlic Shrimp, 2 orders of Crispy Pineapple Chicken, Breakfast Sandwich, Chicken Parmesan Pizza Style and LC IPA. We dine here at least once a month and will continue to do so.

    This place has other Hours that I didn't know how to post. Lunch is served until 5pm. Happy Hour is M-F 4p-6p. Brunch is served Sat & Sun until 2pm. Reasonable Happy Hour prices for the fare. Buffalo Blasts full order is $11.50. Beet salad $10.95. Specialty Cocktails are $9.50. Basically I like to pick things I don't make for myself at home. I tried making these myself and the cost is almost the same plus my time in prep, cook, and clean up. Place is very nice and has a good vacation type vibe. Had excellent service today by Liz in the bar. So very friendly and personable.

    Let me start with saying that the staff here is top notch. My friends and I had an amazing lunch - highly recommend the salmon. I also had tea- they brought me the box to choose from and all the hot water I needed. There is a nice vibe to this place. I've been to several others but this was really nice at lunch time. A couple hours after we left, I realized I did not have my car keys. My friends rushed back with me and the staff and manager looked for them for over 15 minutes. They went above and beyond. I am very appreciative. I found the keys elsewhere but am so grateful to the staff here for their sincere help. I will definitely be back for happy hour specials!!

    Mixed veggie pasta with Alfredo sauce

    The best part of our experience was the great service! We had reservations to celebrate our son's graduation from college. We were seated right away. Our server Jerry was amazing! From start to finish he made sure everything was going well. My dish was just ok because the Branzino fish was a bit fishy tasting. I didn't finish eating the fish after a couple bites. The mashed potatoes were good and so were the green beans. The pasta dish barely had any Alfredo sauce. The desserts were amazing! Oreo cheesecake and the warm apple crisp with ice cream were delicious! Cheesecake Factory is typically busy and can get a bit noisy. Casual atmosphere.

    I'm a pretty big fan of Cheesecake Factory, so any chance I get to visit one, I'm usually pretty pumped to get my usual chicken fettuccine and sun dried tomatoes! However, I've been craving different things lately and realized they actually have some pretty good options available to the Cheesecake Factory consumer that I'd like to share with you. First off, let's talk about how every Cheesecake Factory looks great and is always very clean and elegant looking. I don't think I've been to one yet that doesn't look like you're in Caesars Palace. The hosts are always very friendly and the service is usually good. However, this Cheesecake Factory was solid with everything except or waiter was a little too short with us. He was a little too quick to run off and grab us what we wanted before we could finish saying everything we wanted which made extra trips for him. My wife actually told him that he was a little too quick and should relax and let her finish saying what she wanted before he ran off. He understood and was cool about it (we actually gave him a very nice tip). Anyway, I've had everything from breakfast items, to gumbo, to the skinnylicious menu but some of the food options we had that night were the kids pasta and chicken strips and fries. My wife got the bbq bacon burger, which was amazing! And I ordered the lemon and garlic shrimp with fettuccine. Overall, everything was delicious and I'm a fan of this Cheesecake Factory located in the mall. We sat outside to be seated quicker and it was just as comfortable as being inside due to them having heating lamps at every table. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros

    I'm surprised by the low ratings here, as I had a positive dining experience. I came for lunch with 3 others on Sunday around noon and was seated within 10 minutes. There were more people waiting at the front when we left around 1:30, so I recommend coming early to avoid waits. I haven't been to a Cheesecake Factory in 12-13 years, but it's the same as what I remember. Nice ambiance, huge menu selection, and massive portions. We all took some time to decide what we wanted as there were so many pages on the menu to look through. Ultimately I went with the shepherd's pie ($25.95), and I'm so glad I did as the gravy tasted amazing. Everyone at the table agreed that my dish was the best. The other folks got a cajun salmon lunch plate (okay but bland) for $22.50, the chicken schwarma (also okay but not much chicken is in the wrap) for $19.95, and their fried chicken sandwich with fries for $21.50. Service was friendly and water refills were plenty. I would come back!

    Shrimp Scampi!! My fave!! Sooooo flavorful!!

We went for our 5 year anniversary as best friends and the host congratulated us. Our waitress Emily was so sweet, we got many compliments and they just do their best to actually converse with their patrons, I loved it. The food was beyond my expectations. It's been around a year since I've been here so there were slight menu changes, but in ALL positive ways! Entree size is perfect, you'll probably leave with some leftovers.

Happy hour is offered 3-6 pm everyday in their lounge, bar, and patio, so make sure you let them know you're there for happy hour. I'm obsessed with Canadian bellinis, so I was super excited to try the bellini here. If you're not familiar with the Canadian version of the bellini, it's essentially a peach slushie with rum. Normally it goes for $17 but during happy hour they offer it for $13, which isn't bad. I loved my bellini. It tastes just like what I remember. Would recommend for anyone who likes alcoholic slushies! It was a hot day out, so it was a good way to cool down. My friend got the Supernova vodka soda, which is a vodka-based cocktail with lemon/lime flavors. This was okay, but he was expecting a full on slushie drink like mine and was disappointed when there was only a small amount of slushie mixed in. Also, I'm not sure what happened, but as I'm writing this review and looking at my receipt, I noticed that our server charged us regular price for his drink rather than happy hour pricing. We also shared the roasted corn guacamole for $11.50, which was delicious! We had dinner plans after so we didn't get anything else, but I was impressed with what I tried. Would love to come back some time for a special occasion!

The live band and background singers were amazing as well. There is plenty of street parking available. There's a chef providing food (I believe it rotates every week but I'm not sure). When I was there they had offerings like fries and wings. The garlic parm fries I tried were tasty and I wanted more. The bar was simple but the bartenders worked pretty fast. We ordered drinks 3 at a time so we wouldn't have to get up again and they were very efficient. I tried their margarita which was decent and not overly sweet. Don't worry I'm not a raging alcoholic, it was more so out of respect for the performer. They discourage walking around during the performances so everyone can see and enjoy no matter w The space itself is nice offering you indoor and outdoor space. The delicate hanging lights and plants are a nice touch, and the colorful lighting toward the stage area was very vibey. They also had hookah available, I'm not sure the cost. There's also a small digital Photo Booth at the entrance. The performances were great and so was the crowd. I'd love to come back another time and try more of the food and hear more live music.

The only downside was the parking, which is limited to street parking. When we went, it wasn't too crowded, likely because it had just opened. Overall, I definitely see myself coming back!

Paris, our server, was an absolute ray of sunshine. We decided to share a variety of dishes, which turned out to be the perfect way to experience the menu. I don't eat meat, but my fellow diners could not stop talking about the Braised Short Rib Rolled Lasagna. The Lemon Gnocchi was light and delicate, the beet salad was fresh and beautifully balanced, and the Crispy Squash Blossoms stuffed with ratatouille were absolutely delicious. The Cold Hamachi Aguachile was probably the most interesting dish of the night. It's almost like a fish snow cone, which sounds odd until you try it. My mom would call it "moreish" because every bite makes you want another. The Jumbo Prawns à la Plancha were also excellent. But the standout for me was the Eggplant Parmesan. It was completely over the top in the best possible way. If you told me to come back and order nothing but the eggplant and a martini, I'd happily call that dinner. What really stood out beyond the food was the pacing. Dishes arrived at just the right rhythm, the cocktails were excellent, and the playlist somehow added to the atmosphere without competing with the conversation. I took photos of everything, which should tell you how beautiful the food was, but the best part was simply having a genuinely fun evening with friends. Great food, great service, and a restaurant I'll absolutely be back to.

    We came back for a late dinner at this beautiful Mediterranean restaurant after an event nearby. We…read moreappreciate that they always gave us a table we requested. This time was at the relaxing back patio upstairs. They have a big menu with a lot of good items. We decided on vodka pasta, charred octopus and beet salad as appetizers. For mains we had chef's special prime rib and whole branzino, also truffle fries as side. For desserts we had tiramisu and sorbet. They make very good Vesper martinis here, the mocktail I tried wasn't great though. The service was excellent and very fast. Keep in mind that the food is more of Middle East Mediterranean flavor than Mediterranean European flavor. This place has become our go-to restaurant whenever we are in this area!

The ambiance has always been very nice and classy and it was so nice and quiet as the restaurant was empty in the morning. Our waitress was very nice and helpful and the food came out quick. The breakfast burrito, Rancheros, and eggs Benedict all tasted really good. Highly suggest asking for the garlic aioli on the side!! The smashed potatoes that came with the breakfast items were also really well made. Although they charge for valet parking only, if you drive around the back side streets, you can always find a parking spot, you just need to walk a bit.

The food is good with a solid variety, even if nothing has really blown me away yet. My only real complaint is the valet. At $11 per car, it feels a little expensive for the Valley, especially if you're just stopping in for a casual meal or a few drinks. Overall, it's a fun place with a welcoming vibe, great service, and somewhere I'd happily recommend if you're looking for a laid-back afternoon or evening.

If you're disappointed that this would be the only screen visible from your table, or that they didn't think of adding panel to right of screen to block the light washing out the screen, then you'd probably have a similarly disappointing experience. I'd argue it wad the same for some people going inside to stand and watch. We left on the first water break to go back home and watch the game. I just wanted to actually see the ball and the players. Mind you we saw the Mexico v England game here, but it was inside, next to some wonderful Mexico fans. Screen clearly visible. Service always fantastic. All that's good. This patio experience was the polar opposite for not actually having a visible screen.

He greeted us warmly, took the time to walk us through the menu, and made thoughtful recommendations that endThrough out the whole time, even we ordered to go, he checked in at just the right times, never intrusive, but always attentive and made sure to check in our order. He even came back to check out to-go order when he saw that we've been waiting for a while. What really stood out was his professionalism and positive attitude. Even when the restaurant got busy, he remained calm, friendly, and efficient. Our drinks were always refilled, our food came out exactly as requested, and he made sure everything was perfect without us having to ask. It's rare to come across service this consistent from start to finish. He truly elevated our dining experience, and because of him, we'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend asking for him if you visit!

PLEASE CHECK THE CENTER BEFORE YOU BITE INTO IT!!!! We always eat at this BJ's location, and it is usually great, so this was a shocking and incredibly disappointing experience for us. To start, our order was messed up from the beginning. We ordered the appetizer sampler and explicitly asked the waiter to put the sauce for the chicken on the side. When it arrived, the chicken was completely tossed in sauce. The waiter acknowledged the mistake and admitted the kitchen messed up, so they sent it back to bring us a corrected order. When the new plate arrived, I took my very first bite and immediately realized the chicken was completely undercooked and raw in the center I literally had to spit it out. We called the waiter over, and he took it back to the kitchen. Out of curiosity, I checked the original, incorrect order that was still on the table to see if it was undercooked too. Guess what? It was completely raw near the bone as well. This is the very first time anything like this has happened to us here. While I appreciate that the manager didn't make us pay for the meal, serving raw poultry not once, BUT TWICE in a single visit is a massive health hazard and completely unacceptable. The kitchen staff seriously needs to check their cooking temperatures before sending food out. I really hope they get this sorted out, but please protect yourself and cut your chicken open to check it if you decide to order it!
