Located in the ever-growing Irvine Spectrum (http://www.shopirvinespectrumcenter.com/), is another Cheesecake Factory. I cannot think of a time when I have taken someone to this restaurant and he or she was not completely satisfied. The wait staff is attentive, always refilling your drink, offering suggestions, and customizing your order. This evening I tried a new dish, the Chicken Bellagio. The dish was comprised of a pasta similar to spaghetti but with a basil flavor running throughout the noodles, breaded chicken, similar to the chicken costoletta, tosses in a light parmesan cream sauce, and topped with arugula. If you like the chicken costoletta, I think that you will be please with this dish. It came with more than enough food to satisfy me, and that is not an easy task. The noodles were delicious and the chicken was delightfully tender.
This item was listed on a special side menu that was not part of the main list of options. I would recommend this dish for someone who is hungry, not counting calories, and not in the mood for a light snack.
The Cheesecake Factories to which I have been are usually located in nice shopping centers with pleasant surroundings, making them ideal for a quick bite to a nice date.
Don't forget that the Pumpkin Cheesecake and the Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecakes are both in season.
