Chaos Erupts Over Free Cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory | Eater

"To mark its 40th anniversary the restaurant gave away free slices of cheesecake to customers who ordered delivery via DoorDash, triggering a flood of orders that attracted a large crowd of double-parked delivery drivers at the Clarendon location; police were called for crowd control after an apparent fistfight, and one driver was taken to the hospital and later charged with disorderly conduct." - Whitney Filloon

We had a great meal tonight. We started with the chicken and jalapeno fritters. I had the green Chile enchiladas and my spouse had the chicken costoletta. We finished with the peach cheesecake. A plus was that we could make a reservation. Our server took good care of us. Checkout the photos for the atmosphere. We liked the experience.

Super busy for a 4:30 pm time. Their avocado egg rolls were as good as I remember. Their Jamaican shrimps has always been my favorite. Got a chicken pasta that hit so well! Very well fried. Crispy and juicy!

We had an amazing lunch, I had the Mac and cheese burger, I asked for it medium rare and was pleased with the amount of pink. The verity of cheesecake was impressive, I chose a slice of pumpkin cheesecake and was surprised by how light it was, it was just the right amount of sweet, although the whipped cream was a bit too sweet for me. Overall a great place to eat, will come again.

The Cheesecakes are always spot on. Can't really say anything negative about them. Decadently delicious. Flavors listed on the menu always pop. Serviceable staff. Ambienceis a little loud. Wheelchair accessible. I highly recommend the roll sampler. Interesting. I wish they would experiment like this dish and their cheesecakes with more plates.

19 Nov 2025 Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake (5/5). I like peanut butter and I'm a texture eater and I loved this cake, but it doesn't really take like cheesecake as much as it does peanut butter. 21 October 2025 Fried Macaroni and Cheese (4/5) was delicious but not very filling. The Ultimate Red Velvet Cheesecake (3.5) was decent, but kind of forgettable. Good if you want a less rich option. 8 October 2025 Hot Spinach and Cheese dip (3.5/5) was good, very traditional. The Oreo Dream Extreme Cheesecake was very good and very rich. (4/5). Also got a Fresh Strawberry Cheesecake (3/5). 1 Oct 2025 We got the Factory Nachos (4/5). It's pretty good and a lot of bang for your buck. We also tried the Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake (3/5). It was just okay. Wish it was more cheesy. 17 Sep 2025 We got the Tex Mex Eggrolls (4/5) and Peach Perfect with Raspberry Drizzle cheese cake (4/5). The eggrolls were a little spicy, but very good and the cheese cake was was very good as usual...I mean, why else do people come to the Cheesecake Factory? 10 Sep 2025 We tried the Roadside Sliders (2/5) and Avocado Eggrolls (3/5). Both were just okay and not something I would buy again.

The food was okay, but unfortunately the customer service wasn’t the best. Our server seemed to be rushing us and wasn’t very friendly, which affected the overall experience. Here are my ratings: • Buffalo chicken strips 7/10 • Baja shrimp tacos 7/10 • Beet and avocado salad 10/10 • Cajun jambalaya pasta 7/10 • Mexican chicken and tortilla 8/10

Amazing cheesecake! Why didn't I take a picture of all the cheesecake? We got them to go and forgot to take pictures. The food was good but we all know why we are here!

The service was great. The food wasn't the best this time. The appetizer was cold and hardly any chicken in my salad but lots of avocado.

We were quickly seated on a saturday night for a party at six. It was super busy. A waiter was a little on the slower side and took her a while to get our drinks and the different things we asked for. I got the Louisiana chicken pasta, and the chicken is to die for. It was perfectly crispy. The pasta was also good. Make sure to ask for extra sauce - Otherwise it tastes a little bland. I would come back for this entrée. We were stuffed by the end of the night after the huge portions and free bread!

Every time I say I'm not returning to TCF bcus it doesn't taste great beyond the brown bread, someone over a year or so will force me there to try something different from their vast menu. Mom ordered the tamales and I had never had tamales but wow this appetizer dish is bomb dot com! It's sweet, spicy, savory and full of flavor. Filling, as all Cheesecake Factory menu items are. We were seated fast despite no res on a busy Friday night in this seemingly poppin area. Our server was so kind and on it. Go, enjoy!

Last Thursday, we had dinner at the Fair Oaks Mall C-Factory, the biggest mistake of the year. My wife ordered Orange Chicken, and I ordered their biggest steak, plus a large Caesar salad, Calamari, coffee and a glass beer. Asked the waiter for the side orders for the steak, he said , only fries was offered. Food was served. The $30-Steak was size of a credit car, and mostly fat all around it, the Calamarie was mostly crumbs of batter with very few calamari in it. Orange chicken was staled with clumps of rice. Food and service was awful. Bill came to $100 and some change. Regardless of the poor quality of the food, I still left 20% tip for the waiter, who had nothing to do with the bad food. So think twice before going in there. Mark Tehrani

No complaints. The only thing is getting parked, which is paid street parking so it can be a challenge. The staff are friendly and pleasant, making for a positive experience, and the decor is what you will have in any Cheesecake Factory. The food is fairly good for a national chain, and the prices are what you would expect. My family and I tend to go with a selection of appetizers when we visit so we have variety. This last trip included Korean fried cauliflower (which I really like), chicken and jalapeño fritters (very good), and nachos (which I'm not big on but don't care for any restaurant nachos).

The servers were a bit unsettling, staring at my girl friend and asking inappropriate questions. Otherwise, the food was pretty mid. I remember Cheesecake Factory tasting better, but maybe it's just this place. It was pretty dark mood lighting, but the booths were nice.

During a recent visit to our daughter in Clarendon, she decided to treat her son ( 18 months old) and the grandparents to an early meal at the Cheesecake Factory. I don't think we've eaten at cheesecake factory restaurant in 30 years! The restaurants are quite spacious and remind me of the inside of an ancient temple. Not a bad ambiance at all. We were seated promptly, after our waters were delivered. And straight away our grandson put in his order for cheese toast. Our daughter requested that his order be brought out first. And viola! Out it came about five minutes later. That portion of the service exceeded our expectations and it was well received. Wow, what a portion! It appeared to be two sandwiches cut in planks and arranged like a jenga puzzle. We also ordered a factory chopped salad, Shelia's chicken and avocado salad, and a bee sting flatbread pizza. Now for the wait. Yes, we waited what seemed to be 20 minutes or so for our order. What ever the exact wait, I felt that it was a bit excessive. Nevertheless, the chow was tasty and beautifully prepared and our server was pleasant. I thought my pizza was quite creative and enjoyable. I was hoping for a crisper crust, and I was disappointed that the happy hour was restricted to the bar (maybe it's a law?). But, all in all we were happy with our visit.

Servers/service have always been terrible here. I've had multiple employees tell me the complimentary bread has been dropped on the floor all the time and they still use it. That's disgusting. People need to know that they don't make the cakes in house and they just receive shipments from a designated "factory" that exclusively makes it for them but guess what? The cakes are upstairs in another freezer and they are placed in the refrigerator and display case to thaw. So.... Overpriced for sure. I know corporate places like this treat their employees like shit and there's major turnover all the time here. I've been at least 20+ times in the past few years. There's always people taking selfies and group photos as if this is a bougie place or fine dining - which is ridiculous

My friend and I came here later in the evening just for some late night nachos and cheesecake. It was super clean inside and set up like the usual cheesecake factories. We ordered the poke nachos which were delicious. My salted caramel cheesecake was also fabulous. My only complaint was the service was incredibly slow, especially considering we were one of the only customers in the restaurant. Overall, though I would come back. I do love cheesecake factories food, the service could just be faster!

I hit up the forbidden restaurant Cheesecake. I love this place. Food and service is always amazing. My favorite dish is the Louisiana pasta with no mushrooms and add shrimp. Can't go wrong. The raspberry lemonade drop are heaven made. Order you one. For dessert I had that cinnamon bun cheesecake. It's was so good! I'm drooling writing this review. #EatGoodAndBeHappy

Okay to be fair I've been coming to this restaurant for over 10 years now & maybe just things aren't the same level of quality anymore. I'm not faulting my sever or the restaurant but maybe everyone was having a bad day. The drinks were nasty, the food was very very bland and just not up to par for something so simple. Unfortunately this was a celebration dinner that missed the mark. I was left disappointed and hungry because i was not able to complete the dish instead of sending it back for an exchange I accepted the distasteful plate and tried to make it not noticeable to my sever because I did not want them to feel troubled. Maybe i will be back in the future

Score is low simply because I felt like I have been to many far far better cheesecake factories in my lifetime. And I know this is DC and I have not been to a cheesecake factory in forever but $20 for a cocktail? Absolutely absurd. Not to mention they served me a martini rather than a margarita. Would not recommend.

Friendly bartender. $10 happy hour burger deal and +$1 if you want to add fries. The patty was cooked well done. Not gourmet, but hits the junk food spot. I wouldn't recommend dining here for the food unless there is a deal like happy hour since it's quite pricey for their pastas etc and the food is mediocre. You could do much better at the same price point at many other restaurants in the DMV. Their cheesecakes are what really stand out of course. $20 per slice is quite pricey though so I recommend that you sign up for their rewards since they give you BOGOs or free slice with a purchase sometimes. My favorite cheesecake flavor so far is their cookie dough!

I just want to say THANK YOU to Milton and Melody! 5 star service! My bday was already extremely special because my two best friends took me out BUT these two servers made it unforgettable. It's like they knew I had been up since 3:45am running around at my own restaurant like a chicken with its head cut off because it was a BUSY DAY! The food was excellent. Fried calamari, street corn, my crispy chicken n shrimp and DRINKS! They kept checking on us to see if we had everything we needed. We'll be back!

Came here at 4pm on a week day - nice time to overlap either lunch specials or happy hour (must be seated near bar). Server was friendly, attentive, and quick. Food came out quick. It was pretty slow time so it was nice to relax.

Met my homegirl here for a late brunch on 10/5/24 and had a reservation for 1:15pm. I'd been craving CF for weeks (blame TikTok) and hadn't been for years so this was perfect for a Saturday afternoon. Parking in the area wasn't the best but if you're willing to walk a block or two (or pay for the garage) you're sure to find something within 10mins. We were sat immediately and our waiter was Tyreek We ordered: Raspberry Lemon Dropx2 - 10/10 - They're my favorite, i still prefer a plain LD but this was a nice recommendation from the waiter. Fried cheese - 7/10 - these were delicious but SO rich. I think if they were cut smaller they'd be easy to get through. A cheese lovers dream I'm sure. Fried calamari - 8/10 - wish the batter was crispier but a decent serving. Tex mex egg rolls - 5/10 - they fell apart once you bite into them. The best part of the egg roll is the crunch and it just went to mush once you bit into it. Our waiter was very attentive, service was fast and the location was clean. Definitely will be back.

A typical The Cheesecake Factory, which means an overwhelming novel of a menu, mostly unhealthy dishes that show you the calorie count of what you eat (mostly making you feel bad), overpriced food, average food quality taste, and good cheesecake. I recently went here for a friend's birthday party on a weeknight and we received good service, including a slice of cheesecake with a lit candle for my friend. We ordered the crab dip, pretzel bites, and ahi tuna nachos for the table, all of which were fine but overpriced. For my main, I got the chicken chili, which was one of the only non-salad main dishes that had a reasonable amount of calories. The portion size was an appetizer-size, and was way overpriced at $18 (it should have been more like $11 or $12). The chili was fine; it could have used more spice but otherwise got the job done. I got a slice of the peanut butter cheesecake to go for dessert, which was disappointing-lesson learned that as much as I love peanut butter, maybe not in cheesecake.

Mojito - Not freshly made just a stock sugary lime water poured in with a few mint leaves some rotten, instant indigestion in a glass if you like drinking straight lime juice. No muddled mint barely tasted any rum. Drink wasn't built it was tossed and rim garnished with a shriveled up brown spotted lime slice. Asian chicken salad - incredibly sweet and salty with a hint of ginger. Prepackaged sparsely adorned diced chicken slices that tasted on the verge of expiration and had that gelatinous texture and look (you all know it if you've gotten pre cooked plastic container chicken anywhere). Nothing was fresh about it, a salad should exude freshness and this was just not appetizing I felt ill half way thru and abandoned the effort. Not worth five bucks let alone twenty. Lemon meringue cheesecake- I'm not sure I've ever tasted something so cloyingly sweet in my life. Hardly an any actual lemon or cream cheese more like extract with whey and milk protein solids in jello. The "meringue" said to be on top was really just marshmallow fluff hit with a blow torch for more sugar liquid that slid off the cheesecake after a few minutes. Service is the only star as they tried their best in a busy section. Although the host lacked any front of house training and came by to seat someone in the cramped table next to us, and the new customer didn't want to sit there and he looked at our table and loudly said "oh they about to leave". Actually no we were not... Made for an American palette, so when you don't feel like producing your processed meal at home come on down to the factory and they'll happily serve you some gruel.

I came to cheesecake factory for lunch. I wanted to get a salad that I saw someone post but it sadly was not on the menu. I decided to get the chicken ceasar salad with chicken. The salad was huge and the chicken was perfectly crispy but I still could not get the other salad out of my head.

I was so excited to go to the Cheesecake Factory, but boy was it a disappointment! When we were first seated we waited for close to 10 minutes before a waiter finally stopped and acknowledged me and took my drink order. I placed our order and after 30 minutes the waiter came by and said the pizza that my son order had to be remade because it fell on the floor, and I had to remind my waiter that I ordered chicken piccata. When our meal finally came out and I took the first bite I was met with a piece of fatty chicken and the most flavorless meal I have ever had. It was so flavorless I had to request additional sauce, which turned out to be what tasted like a stick of butter and capers. Our waiter throughout the meal continued to forget things and was all over the place (he was super nice though). The bill total was close to 90.00 and it was the worst meal I have had in a long time. I will never go to this restaurant again!

I had lunch with some of my coworkers at Cheesecake Factory in Arlington on 12/18 for our holiday gathering. The restaurant was warm and neatly decorated for the holidays. I tend to get the same entree, but decided to try something different today. Our server was friendly and efficient. I had the French dip bistro burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was cooked well, but the au jus was super salty. The sweet potato fries were fresh cut fried to perfection and tasty. And of course I had to get a slice of cheesecake to take home. As no visit to the Cheesecake Factory is complete with one.

Service was outstanding. We sat outside and it was such a beautiful day. I had the chicken and waffles with eggs Benedict, it was very delicious. Mom had some scrambled eggs with bacon and toast. I really like how you can order breakfast all day and not be rushed and see what time places stop serving brunch/ breakfast. This is my first time in the Arlington location and I really like the atmosphere compared to Tysons. We will be back.

I have been to the Cheesecake Factory in Columbia Maryland and in Baltimore. At both locations service has been HORRIBLE, from food being cold to non existent service even on a slow day. I decided to try this location to give the company one more shot and I am so happy I did. Service was fast and so hospitable. I would like to thank Yinka for making me a returning costumer. Food is hot and fresh here, drinks are 10/10. Thank you again Yinka for the great experience. I will definitely come back really soon to experience your amazing service again.

This place is an all-time favorite...with a menu the size of a magazine. We love the avocado egg rolls and Korean fried cauliflower for appetizers along with some many entree options. My latest love is the bistro shrimp pasta...the garlic, lemon sauce is outstanding. Of course the cheesecake options are ridiculous. The icing on the cake (or should I said cheesecake) is the service...always impeccable. This is a great place for groups or picky eaters. I promise there's something for everyone.

Where dessert dreams come true! The Cheesecake Factory never disappoints. They have a good selection of wines at the bar too. I was happy with my Pinot noir and my friend, her Cabernet Sauvignon. The extreme Oreo cheesecake is a must try for those in a cookie mood. It's not too sweet and pairs nicely with good company and delicious wine!

We had an amazing experience at The Cheesecake Factory tonight. From start to finish, everything was smooth and enjoyable. We were able to make a reservation ahead of time and were seated right away in the spot we requested--super accommodating! For food, we ordered the bang bang chicken and shrimp, the caesar salad with steak, and the s'mores cheesecake. Everything was absolutely delicious, and they didn't overcook the steak--a problem that happens at a lot of restaurants. If you go, ask for Desmond as your server. He was fantastic--super patient while we decided on our order, answered all our questions, kept our drinks full, checked in on us often and was happy to take a photo of us. Highly recommend this location for great food and excellent service. We'll definitely be back!

We sat here for 20 min and nobody acknowledged us. Several severs walked by and didn't say a work. The hostess was also unphased and unapologetic when we said why we were leaving. Never coming back to this location. Service here has gone down over the last few years.

Just picked up a take out order from the Cheesecake Factory in Clarendon. One app, three pasta dishes, fish and chips, and three desserts. Price ~$180. I asked the person at the pick up if she had confirmed that all purchased items were in the bag and ready to go and she said yes. Upon arriving home, no chips with the fish and chips. Really? It is fish and chips after all. Apparently, getting the order right was not within the realm of possibility. Food was only OK and certainly not worth the price.

If we could give 0 stars, we would. We visited The Cheesecake Factory on Christmas Eve in Arlington, VA. We are long-time customers and have been to this restaurant chain in different states and locations. Our kids enjoy a tradition of dining there on Christmas Eve as we've done this for over 20 years. Even though we could choose other places, they always want to keep this tradition. Well, after this past visit, we'll be breaking tradition. The restaurant wasn't crowded and it looked short staffed, but we tolerated waiting. It started off well, but we were served our appetizer long before we got our drinks (that we'd ordered at the same time). No big deal. Our entrees were a wait, but, we've all worked in the food industry, so we're pretty easy going about this kind of thing. After close to a half hour, the waitress came over and apologized that she forgot to put our ticket in. She said it would be expedited and out very soon. Well, we waited. And waited. For about another 20 minutes. And finally two other servers came over and practically threw the plates on the table then ran off. I'd ordered a steak, but wasn't given a steak knife. Worse yet, my vegetable wasn't anywhere in sight (it's usually under the steak). We looked around for our waitress, but she was nowhere in sight. My husband saw a busperson and asked for a steak knife, which he just handed to him and ran off. No one came by to see if we wanted anything or if everything was alright. It wasn't. I still didn't have part of my dinner. Our waitress would buzz by our table, but she wouldn't come over. After telling two other servers that I hadn't gotten half my meal, our original server finally came over and was surprised that half my entree was still missing. Of course, by now everything was getting cold and the members in our group were done eating. I was finally served luke warm asparagus long after I'd eaten the rest of my dinner. Plus, my steak jus was way too salty. No one ever came by to apologize for how long we had to wait or for missing half of my entree. We didn't expect to get the meal comped, but we did expect to at least get a visit from the manager as a courtesy. We were fortunate that we weren't in a hurry, because our reservation was for 6pm, but my meal wasn't completely served until almost 8 o'clock. The restaurant was't crowded for a holiday evening. We were at the same location last Christmas Eve and our waitperson was wonderful. Our food was good and we had a lovely time. This year was a complete disappointment. I sent a survey response to the CF customer email and told them about the disappointing evening. I got a cheery email response back from the restaurant manager who basically said that they will do better and we should stop in and say hello to the manager when we come back. A weird response for sure. We spent over $230 for our meal and we felt cheated. This chain has gone down in quality and, if this location is open next year, I'll be really surprised. This service was abysmal. We'll be spending Christmas Eve dining somewhere else from now on.

The service here was ridiculous,. Me and my friends came in at 8:30. We did not get our drinks until 9:30. We then had to ask for our food. We finally got our food around 10ish. The manager apologized and made it sound like he would cover everything we bought. He said he would cover everything on the table, and that cheesecake was on the house. We didn't leave until 11ish. The cheese cake took another twenty minutes to get, and spilling the bill took another fifteen. Both which were done by another waiter who was wonderful. And then in the end the only thing we ended up being taken off the bill was the two appetizers and the non specialty drinks. Very upset, and extremely disappointed with cheese cake factory. They apologized and said they were busy, however, it shouldn't take a half hour to get drinks. Highly recommend against coming here.

First time to this particular Cheesecake Factory and overall a good visit. We had reservations at 630 and were immediately seated. Our server was nice and attentive however towards the end of our visit she either became very busy or just forgot about us. We had to grab her attention to get our bill. Other than that the visit was smooth. Bread took a while but came out nice and hot and our food was delicious. We stopped to see the cheesecake on the way out and of course couldn't leave without grabbing a few slices. Definitely come earlier than later as I noticed when I was leaving the lobby became full compared to arrival.

Wow, it was so dark in the restaurant during the middle of the day that we had to use flashlights on our phones to read the menu. After we read through the menu we ordered a couple of appetizers, the brussel sprouts and taquitos. The Brussel sprouts were delicious. The taquitos were really small and the chicken was tough. I ordered a burger and a frozen drink. All in all, I'd definitely come back again. I was too full to get dessert. But definitely will next time. Our server was great and attentive.

2nd time at this location. We came an hour before closing and the food was still very fresh. Our waiter was amazing and knew a lot about the menu. Chicken Bellagio pasta will always be my favorite! Yummy white sauce and pesto. It comes with prosciutto and to me, that's the best part. My mom had the Jamaican Black Pepper Shrimp and she really enjoyed it. She said that the sauce was seasoned really well.

Dined in on a busy Saturday night, waited 50 minutes for a text that never came, checked in with staff and then we were seated. A table of four with two kids next to the bar wasn't ideal, but we took it. The wave of freezing air that hit our backs as the front door opened and closed was unsettling, not to mention it made our food cold 3 minutes after hitting the table....oh well, not our night (lol). The waiter was attentive and super kind. The food was still tasty...it's Cheesecake Factory. Will try again on a warm day when it's less crowded.

True to its brand, this Cheesecake Factory location also has obnoxiously dim lighting to the point where my friends and I could hardly see one another. But that's fine, I guess, as long as we can see our food and drinks and eat from it properly. We came here for a friend's birthday, whose birthday tradition is to come eat at Cheesecake Factory to celebrate. I ordered the "Herb Crusted Filet of Salmon" for my entree. The salmon was pretty large and seasoned well. It wasn't overcooked, which I appreciated since I feel like salmon is often super dry and tasteless at most chain restaurants. The lemon sauce was tangy and creamy, which went well with the salmon. Mashed potatoes were not bad and wasn't overly salty, but overall, it was basic and nothing too special. Liked that the potato skins were mashed in with the potatoes. The asparagus weren't special either, and it would have been nice to get more than six of them. But sadly, all chains are standardized and nothing can really be changed about that. Overall, the salmon was quite good, but everything else was pretty mediocre. We ordered two cheesecakes: "Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake" and "Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake". The pumpkin one was definitely the lighter option of the two, but still pretty thick. I appreciated the strong pumpkin flavor. The Godiva cheesecake was way too much for me as it is extremely thick and dense, and I could not eat more than one bite of this without drinking lots of water. If you like thick cheesecakes and chocolate, I would recommend it, otherwise, stay away. I'm sure everyone knows this already, but if you are health conscious, this chain should not make it to the top of your restaurant preferences. Overall, the service was pretty lacking as our server wasn't very attentive to us. It took awhile for us to order cheesecakes after our meal and the food/cheesecake took a lot longer than anticipated to arrive.

Y=MX+B and this venue ain't the place to be. Servers be dropping the free bread on the floor and still serving it to people. Only saved yourselves a star because that French Dip Burger was so good I can ignore the disgusting place this location is. Don't eat here.

I came here Saturday night and left disappointed. We had no reservations. They were busy and stated there was a 45 minute wait. It was only 7, so we were okay to wait. We went to the bar, had a cocktail and luckily, we got a table after only around 30-35mins. The bartenders were attentive and friendly. And that's about the end of our good experience. Once we were seated, service declined. Our server was clearly slammed and it took a while to be greeted, get a bread basket, etc. It seemed he kept forgetting us, which tells me our table was probably not usually his section. He was friendly and nice though. We ordered cocktails and it took a very long to get them. Once we received them, it was clear my boyfriends drink had been sitting for a while, as his ice was melted and his drink was completely watered down. For dinner, he got the NY steak and I got the Cajun jambalaya pasta. My boyfriend asked for medium rare but his steak came medium. His mashed potatoes were cold. My pasta was overcooked and was literally sticking together (see pic). The taste was also lackluster. We were really disappointed. Trying to get our servers attention for some Parmesan cheese and then for boxes took forever. We had maybe a few bites of our food and were ready to pack it up and head home. Overall, Cheesecake really missed the mark this weekend.

Your classic Cheesecake Factory with lots of seating and all the classic food options. Portions are huge as always, and we definitely had leftovers! Service was quick, although it was empty on a weekday night. Buffalo blasts and avocado egg rolls are the favorites!

Located I'm Clarendon so there's some street parking snd somewhere parking garages around. I had called ahead to order ab10 inch cheesecake and a Happy Birthday chocolate plaque to pick up. Thay interaction was a little strange as she asked me if I wanted my sour cream for the cheesecake on top or on the side. I thought she had meant whipped crean but she insisted it was sour cream and then also forgot to take my name until I mentioned if she needed addition information for me to pick it up. We came here for dinner and sat down in addition to picking up the cake. The dinner was great and service was amazing. I ordered a skinny mojito and my boyfriend ordered the Bourbon and Honey. Both were great. For our appetizers, we ordered the Korean Fried Cauliflower and the Chicken Taquitos. The Cauliflower was really good but took some time to make. I ordered the taquitos probably 15 min after when we were putting in our entrees and it still came out first. It was airtight, good flavor but actually a little cold inside. For dinner I ordered the Grilled Steak Medallions and my boyfriend ordered the Truffle Honey Chicken. The steak Medallions were good. They were well cooked and the mashed potatoes and shiitake mushrooms were good too. The truffle Honey chicken was a little disappointing. Not too much flavor but it was a decent fried chicken. Service was great. Our server was attentive and helped us grab the cheesecake that we ordered. It did come with sour cream which to me is still very strange.

This is my first time visiting the DC location. I was pleased to see it was clean. They also have valet. My pasta was so yum yum. Please know I went for that dish. Service was decent and accurate.
