I am reaching out to share the horrible dinning experience that I had at one of your establishments on Saturday, March, 15, 2025. When my sister and I arrived we were greeted by a hostess that directed us to our seat. After, a young asian waiter approached our table and asked what we would like to drink. We instantly noticed by the way she was talking to us that she was disrespectful but due to it being my birthday weekend we continued to order our drinks. My sister ordered a Raspberry Lemon Drop and I wanted to order a Sangria. The waitress asked for my ID and I did not have it with me, so I informed her that my boyfriend would be meeting me in a few to bring it. At that point we still proceeded to order our appetizer and our entree. We asked for an order of Nachos and 2 Louisiana Chicken Pastas. After about 10 minutes, she brought the complimentary bread to the table without serving dishes and without utensils. 5 minutes she returned with the missing items. When our food came about 20-25 minutes later, we noticed that my sister did not receive her pasta. My sister informed the waiter and she said, "I thought you said you guys were sharing." We told her no, we ordered two pastas. After that comment she attempted to walk away and my sister had to say before she could leave, "are you going to put the order in," and she said yes. There was no apology or no form of remorse for her actions. I tried the pasta and the noodles were overcooked, the pasta was oily, and tasteless. I told my sister and she walked over to the waiteress and let her know. She came back to the table and let me know that the waiter was rude, did not want to hear her complaint, and said she was going to get a manager. About 15 minutes later the waiter walked over, my sister explained the situation, mentioned that the waitress appeared inexperienced and rude, and told him she still wanted her pasta but asked if there was anyway that I could get a chicken and shrimp alfredo pasta instead. The manager said okay and then walked away without any acknowledgment of the situation. The manager brought my sister's pasta over and walked away. As we were sitting we noticed that the waitress ignored our table, kept looking over but refused to come ask if we needed anything. I was so thirsty that I began to eat the ice in my cup. Finally the waitress brought my pasta over, my sister asked for some parmesan cheese to put over her pasta because her pasta was unsatisfactory (she usually orders this dish at other Cheesecake Factory locations), and ordered my Sangria because I had my ID, and another Raspberry Lemon Drop. The waitress took my ID then walked off with it and then brought it back which was odd. I tried my pasta and again my pasta was tasteless and the noodles were overcooked. I could not eat the pasta and my sister was fidgeting with hers because she did not like it. The waitress came over with parmesan wheel and held it over our food with an attitude and said this is the last call. Ironically as she said that 4 individuals walked by were just seated. At this point we were feed up with services we received the food was disgusting and we did not eat it. Even the Sangria she eventually brought to the table was undesirable and filled to the brim of the cup because I only had a sip. My sister's drink was also filled. A few minutes later the waitress brought the bill and some boxes. She attempted to take the Nachos plate which was barely touched (her hands touched some of the Nachos on the side) and we weren't even done but she was rushing us. She came back to the table and grabbed the empty folder where the card or money was supposed to be placed without us telling her anything which was another indication of her rushing us. We were beyond fed up and decided that it was not fair for us to pay for poor service and meals that we did not eat. We both ended up walking out of the establishment. The manager followed us out of the building and down the block, he took a picture of me, and as he tried to take a picture of my sister, she blocked her face with her jacket, and his phone fell under a car. He then began to get in my sister's face, he spit on her, he pushed and shoved my her, then said "You're a piece of shit", You're disgusting, and "That's why your mom and dad did not want you." I did not mention but I am 7 months pregnant and he also got in my face while trying to take that picture. I am a loyal Cheesecake Factory customer and did not mind paying for my food but did not feel as though it was fair due to the service I received and the food that was uneaten. As a black woman, I felt targeted, and neglected which is beyond unacceptable.
