The Cheesecake Factory in downtown Denver!

If you want a luxurious dinner in a fancy restaurant, I’d suggest you head to The Cheesecake Factory. Their Denver location is stunningly beautiful. With dim lighting and the wonderful service, your sure to enjoy a romantic meal!

Their menu is probably the largest menu I have ever seen! With pages and pages of selections everyone is bound to find something they like. We noticed that many items have mushrooms. One person in our party was allergic to mushrooms so we asked our waitress if mushroom sauces could be substituted. She explained that when there is an allergy, the cooks will do anything and everything for the safety of the customer.

After a long battle of deciding what to eat, we all had it figured out! I ordered their Spicy Chicken Chipotle Pasta. It is a “Honey Glazed Chicken, Asparagus, Red and Yellow Peppers, Peas, Garlic and Onion in a Spicy Chipotle Parmesan Cream Sauce”. My husband ordered their Shrimp Scampi and Steak Diane, which is their “famous Shrimp Scampi sautéed with whole cloves of garlic, white wine, fresh basil and tomato. Served with medallions of Certified Angus Beef Steak covered with black peppercorns, a rich mushroom wine sauce, & mashed potatoes”.


I can’t even begin to express how divinely delicious the food was! My pasta was sweet, yet spicy. At first it appeared to be a small portion of food but as my stomach grew full and my pate was still packed with appetizing food, I realized that in fact, it was a ton of food!

To keep from getting used to the flavors of my meal, I snuck bites of my husband’s garlic mashed potatoes. They too were beyond amazing. They were bursting with flavor. Gary mentioned that he really loved the shrimp scampi and was impressed with how large the shrimps were. When it came to the steak, he was neutral. The steak portions were small and the flavors were average. He did say he was thrilled with the amount of potatoes he was given as they were what filled him.

After my dinner was boxed, we asked for a dessert menu. Once again, we were overwhelmed with the amount of choices. From their Godiva® Chocolate Cheesecake, to their Dutch Apple Caramel Streusel you have approximately 30 choices of cheesecakes! Thankfully my husband make my choice for me, otherwise I’d have been there all night deciding! I tried their White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle® and Gary picked their Warm Apple Crisp, as he sadly doesn’t like cheesecake. Oh how divine these deserts were! It’s as close to Heaven as you can get! Honestly, truly, and fully delicious!

Overall, we were very impressed with the wonderful service at the Cheesecake Factory. The waitress was sweet and fun. The decor was beautiful! I do wish their menu was half as long, just because it’s so hard to choose what to eat with 6 pages of choices! Other than that, this place is going on my top favorite list!
