I’m very disappointed with the service I received at The Cheesecake Factory in Topanga Canyon. I called to make a reservation for a lunch gathering of 15 people, and Jennifer was extremely unhelpful and rude. She insisted that everyone must arrive exactly by 12 noon, even after I explained that some guests might be slightly delayed due to parking difficulties and coming from different areas.
I’ve brought business to this restaurant multiple times before, but the lack of understanding and flexibility this time was very discouraging. It’s unfortunate to be treated this way as a returning customer, and I hope management takes note and improves the way group bookings are handled.

It was my birthday and I got soo…
It was my birthday and I got soo disappointed with this place. Worst birthday ever!!!.
I expected much more form this place. First of all waiting time more than 1 hour.
they gave me the worst meal I ever tried in a restaurant. The steak was soo small and they filled out my plate with a bunch of rice and corn with no flavor whatsoever. the dish was 25$. for that price I could eat much better in Pollo Tropical for half of the price.
The only good thing there it was out waiter. he was super kind and try to solve the problem but I was so angry, that I just wanted to leave the place.
Obviously, I will never come back here!

Loud and lousy
If you like a loud atmosphere mediocre food and high prices then the cheesecake factory is for you. They have a huge menu and they do everything almost decent. This place never fails to disappoint. My wife had a chicken and avocado sandwich with one tiny piece of avocado. When she asked the waiter for more he actually questioned her saying that the Chef swears he put plenty on there. Really? We will never go back to this place.

Avoid Cheesecake Factory
Avoid Cheesecake Factory! Severe Injury & unacceptable handling by management and corporate! On Thursday, June 4th, at 8:00 p.m., my family and I visited the Cheesecake Factory at Irvine Spectrum (92618). What started as a nice evening quickly turned into a nightmare due to extreme negligence and a shocking lack of concern from both local management, Ronnie Radich and corporate, Beatrice Brow. Around 8:35 p.m., I drank a shot of Crown Royal that contained broke glass. I immediately felt the sharp glass cut my lip, causing an abrasion, and then felt a piece scratch my throat as I swallowed. I instantly called over the manager, Ronnie Radich, who confirmed the presence of broken glass in my drink. An incident report was filed, and I took clear photos of the broke glass. The terrible pain began shortly after. On Saturday, June 6th, at 3:00 a.m., I woke up with terrible sharp pains in my abdomen. These pains have persisted for over a week, making it incredibly difficult to walk during the day and impossible to sleep through the night. When I contacted The CheeseCake Factory liability specialist, Beatrice Brow, on Monday, June 9th, I was met with complete indifference. I explained my severe pain and my urgent need for medical attention, emphasizing that I have no health insurance and cannot afford to accumulate medical bills without any guarantee of payment. The Cheesecake Factory and Beatrice Brow only advice was to "accumulate Dr. bills" which the Cheesecake Factory "will review them for consideration." This response is unacceptable and a blatant refusal to take responsibility for a severe injury sustained on their premises. My pleas for help, including my last email, have been completely ignored. The Cheesecake Factory's negligence led to my injury, and their corporate response, specifically from Beatrice Brow, has been appalling. They have shown a shocking disregard for a customer's health and well-being. I strongly advise everyone to avoid this restaurant if they value their safety and expect any form of accountability from a business. I have pictures of broken glass and incident report

HORRIBLE!!!
HORRIBLE!!!! Our server had an attitude from the very beginning. She took our cocktail order but we had a 7 year old who ordered a Coke. It took some time for our cocktails and in the mean time, she did not bring the Coke to the child. When she brought the cocktails,we reminded her about the Coke. She did not apologize for forgetting it. When she brought the Coke,she sat it at the end of table,with no straw and walked away. We had to ask another server for a straw. We asked about the bread. She said there was none ready.Our appetizers came, and when she brought the entrees,we asked again about the bread-attitude was shown about us asking. We also told her we had no forks. She returned with PLASTIC FORKS! She had them in her hand,handing them to me with no explanation. I said, "Why are you giving us plastic forks"? She said the regular forks had water spots on them. It was an expensive meal($292 dollars) that we were eating with plastic forks! At the end, we waited an extremely long time for her to pick up our credit card.It was so long that 1/2 of our party couldn't wait any longer for us to pay the bill,so they left. It was a very disappointing birthday celebration for one of our guests!

My wife ordered a Santa Fe Salad
My wife ordered a Santa Fe Salad, it took 35 min to come, then when it came there was no chicken, waiter was very apologetic and then the salad came back a second time with what looked like was rotisserie chicken and it was ice cold. Aidan was awesome. The female manager advise Aidan that she was not gonna take the item off the check after my wife asked for it to be take off a d said she can have a free piece of cheesecake. Aidan ended up getting another manager to get it taken care of. Neither manager came to speak with her at any point before she left. Very unprofessional and unacceptable treatment at the Chandler Mall location in Az.

No birthday cake on husband's birthday
Yesterday was my husband’s birthday, and we chose Cheesecake Factory because we loved our previous experiences there.
The hostess said it would be about a 20-30 minute wait, took our phone number, and said she would call us when our table was ready.
After we waited over an hour with no call or text, we stood in line again and said we have been waiting over an hour. We asked the hostess if she had called us and she said yes, but quickly said, “I think I wrote down the wrong number.” She repeated our number, and said she had the incorrect last digit, then laughed and turned away. Another hostess seated us, and I asked her if they do anything special for birthdays. She said, “yes, please let your server know.” Our server greeted us. We asked for bread and he brought us some.
We ordered and waited for over another hour for our dinner. We asked our server for more bread as we were starving, and he said the restaurant “ran out of bread” but said “you guys were lucky to get the first order.” We asked our server if our food was ready as we had ordered over an hour ago. He quickly delivered our food and said, “ask and you shall receive.”
By the time we received our food, we only had about 30 minutes left on our parking meter, so we quickly ate our meals, which were delicious. After dinner, I asked our server for my husband’s complimentary birthday cake - we ordered the Linda’s Chocolate Cake with lots of whipped cream, my husband’s favorite. Our server said the restaurant ran out of whipped cream, but we could come back tomorrow. I knew we would be busy and the restaurant would be busy as it was the 4th of July so I asked for a takeout box for our leftovers and for the cake to go, as we sadly did not have time to enjoy it in the restaurant. Our server brought our leftovers and the cake in two takeout containers in a paper bag. When I received the bill, I saw that our server had charged us for the cake. I reminded him that it was my husband’s birthday, and he said we need to give him our rewards number for him to remove the charge. My husband and I gave our phone numbers and our server said we did not have rewards on either of our accounts. Our server asked my husband when his birthday was, and my husband said, “today” and offered to show his license. Our server said, “I don’t need to see your license, I need to see the email.” My husband found his rewards email and showed our server, but he said we did not have the correct email. He said “If you can find the correct email, I’ll see what I can do.” We needed to leave to get to our car and couldn’t provide what our server was requesting, so he took back our takeout bag, took the cake out of the bag, then told my husband and said, “Happy Birthday.” I was horrified that so many things had gone wrong and we were treated so poorly the entire night, and my husband’s birthday celebration at Cheesecake Factory was so incredibly disappointing.
