Cheesecake Factory: featuring avocado rolls, wasabi-crusted ahi tuna, and dessert

I had avocado rolls, which were and always are fantastic. Fried cheese pieces (sorry I forgot what they were called) they tasted mostly like fancy mozzarella cheese sticks in triangle form. They were yummy, but then again, it's not hard to go wrong with that, right? Then I had the wasabi-crusted ahi tuna entree that the waiter recommended. I loved the wasabi crust, it had a mild taste of wasabi, and was fried crispy good. BUT THE FISH. :( What a let down. I really enjoy eating cooked fish in general, I enjoy salmon, tuna, tilapia, deep sea bass, flounder...and also eating raw fish, I enjoy most sashimis. BUT, this fish had a very strange flavor and texture. I don't know, maybe I just don't like ahi tuna...or they cooked it wrong? Hrm. Who knows? I just gotta try it again somewhere else.

The water with lemon was surprisingly bad. I know that most restaurants use tap water for their water as it is free and the ice usually hides the "tap water" taste, but nope. Not here! I get water at almost every restaurant I go to unless I am craving a specific drink. I would think that cheesecake factory, since it isn't a cheap restaurant, would at least make sure their water tastes okay. The onion ring was not good and the fries were mediocre.

Now, onto dessert! MMMM! I got the kahlua cocoa cheesecake and my friend got the caramel pecan turtle cheesecake. DELICIOUS! I have absolutely no complaints about these cheesecakes. We also got nice large cappuccinos to go along with them. I appreciated the cappuccinos because they were frothy, in between warm/hot, and huge. I was very satisfied with the dessert.

The server was friendly and quick to serve.

So all in all, I give this place a 3 out of 5.
