At least the waitress was nice when she said, "We don't serve it like that." I thought it was a bit unusual but not enough to spoil the meal. I'll just have to get it at another restaurant that does serve it on the side. I can hardly wait to see what I can't order the next time! Although it's unlikely, maybe they actually make fettucine alfredo the CORRECT way, which means "from scratch", not using sauce from a jar. While this is not a terribly involved process, it's certainly not worth their time to make a small amount as a side dish. Maybe the troll can get it all out at once and list every item Cheesecake Factory doesn't have on their menu and be done with it. Or, maybe it can just go to a restaurant that features what it's looking for instead of Cheesecake Factory. nancy What "it's" looking for? I love that word choice, but I always get yelled at when I use it. :-) |

Because the food that they do have, is good. This time, I wasn't ordering anything that wasn't on the menu. |

How about you try ordering what's on the menu, and see if that makes a difference? Miche I did! It was on the menu! Just not served as a side dish. |

Get a grip, get a life and move on to another chain restaurant. Unlike most rodents, you don't seem to learn from your mistakes. -- See return address to reply by email remove the smiley face first |

How about you try ordering what's on the menu, and see if that makes a difference? Certainly the easiest way to go with the boring chain places where customer service is often marginal. At higher end restaurants they make a lot more effort to accommodate special requests. It's *NOT* a high end restaurant. That poster would be a lot happier if he ate at home. -- See return address to reply by email remove the smiley face first |

I bet they don't have liver and onions or blood sausage either. Tell them you want a side of head cheese. Order borscht for your soup and walk out if they don't have it. Show them how bad they really are. As for the Dr. Pepper. tell them it is OK to substitute Mr. Pibb or Cheerwine. Better yet, demand Lime Ricky. Any decent restaurant should have it. Show'em who's boss. Keep going there until they meet your demands and have everything you want on the menu. This time, I ordered something that was on the menu! They just don't serve it on the side like other restaurants. BTW, I don't like Mr. Pibb - it tastes like medicine. |

They have a varied menu, the service is good, and the prices are reasonable. I dislike Dr Pepper. Rosie I like CF, too. But you don't know how they serve their food unless you ask, right? When you go to a restaurant, you eventually find out their rules for serving food and drinks. I disklike Mr. Pibb. |

Rosie I just went to my first Cheesecake factory lunch a couple of weeks ago and we enjoyed it enough to return the next day. The service was very, very good even considering that the place was packed. The dessert we had and I crave again even now was the limoncello torte. Not overly sweet and reminded me very much of the bakery treats we used to get in Europe. Sure it is a chain....but one I'll be going back to when I can. They're doing so many things right there. |

No complaints about the service, either, and I also like the iced green tea. I think it's odd that they don't have regular iced tea, but life goes on. nancy |

It's a chain, and it's possible that the sauce comes out of a plastic bag which they microwave, or drop into boiling water. To make a side dish, they'd have to waste a half serving just for you, if it's not that popular a dish. Stop your incessant whining. |
