Though I am not particularly fond of the Sherman Oaks galleria, because it's mostly empty and corporate looking, I do enjoy the cheesecake factory restaurant. Google maps limits me to 50 photos, which is just not enough to showcase the beautiful architecture, appointments and sheer visual splendor of this place. Even if I don't eat anything when I go in there, I feel like I'm feasting my eyes on the decor. Look at all the little lights, swirls, patterns and cohesive color schemes. It's enjoyable just to walk into this place. The food is also pretty good! I cannot have dairy or sugar, but my family truly loves the desserts here. I found several menu options that I can enjoy, and they do not involve dairy or sugar. Though that's what the restaurant specializes in, it also has many other options. One of my favorite things is the basket of warm bread that comes before the meal even arrives. I always ask for a little bit of olive oil, to act as a dip, because I can't have butter. The servers always oblige. It just gets better from there, the food is sumptuous, decadent, celebratory. I feel like it's the best place to celebrate some kind of an achievement, though the achievement could just be getting through the week! I truly enjoy this restaurant and all of its menu offerings. I love the private booths with the glass backs, the cleanliness, the soft noisiness that makes it private enough to talk but not so noisy that you can't hear yourself think. It's just a nice place, and not just because it's famous for the show "big bang theory"! I hope you enjoy the 50 photos and videos, and pay them a visit.
