Yes, it's a bit out of my character, but on Saturday, December 28, 2013, I enjoyed a dinner with my wife, mother-in-law, step-daughters and grandson. Great food, wonderful service, but noisy, and crowded atmosphere...
Photo: Such a lovely Saturday evening in Roseville! The Cheesecake Factory is located in the Roseville Galleria mall, and is a popular place on this clear Saturday evening in late December.
Photo: On this early Saturday evening, the restaurant was packed, crowded and noisy, with the televisions at the bar turned to sporting events.
Photo: Our waiter, Hank, takes Casey's order. The restaurant was very busy, but the service was friendly and efficient. Our food arrived in a timely manner. Great service and delicious food, but a bit noisy and "upscale" for my tastes.
Photo: You can look into the kitchen without getting in the way of the staff, which is always a nice touch. This kitchen is GIANT, and is one of the largest restaurant kitchens I've seen in Roseville. I certainly would like to know how they are able to keep track of every order, and prepare the orders to taste. The Cheesecake Factory knows that they are doing!
Photo: Sharlene's order of pizza included a side dish, and she chose a fresh, tossed-green salad. The Romaine lettuce certainly adds a classy touch!
Photo: Sharlene ordered a small, "Tomato, Basil and Cheese" pizza, and took half of it home in a box. She loved it, but couldn't eat it all. For some reason, only known to The Cheesecake Factory, "personal size" pizzas are only offered for lunch.
Photo: My "Old Fashioned Burger" arrived open-faced, which is always good for photography. I ordered it cooked medium, and that was the way it was cooked, TO PERFECTION! Refer to my comment under the kitchen photo... how do they do it? This was a quality, delicious, and very filling burger, and a "class act" in all respects. I normally order a salad, but since this was my first visit to The Cheesecake Factory, I had to go with the fries, as fries are a good way to judge the quality of a restaurant. The Cheesecake Factory passed the muster!

Noisy and crowded on a early Saturday evening... not my "scene." But, the service was friendly, and the burger was delicious... but at $10.95, I definitely PAID for the burger. Oh yes... $3.95 for the beer, and since I'm a "gentleman," I added a 15% gratuity to the check, for the wonderful service. Like I said, the burger was good, the service was friendly, but "Cheesecake" is just not my kind of restaurant. Sorry... The
