"just adding to address the response. I do take back that you didn't offer an apology, you did. Sorry. However, our conversation and your response still do not address my chief complaint , which was not that your portion sizes were too large but that the person that picked up the phone should have suggested we had too much food and maybe we should cut back on one or tow portion sizes, especially since I made it clear how unsure I was and was looking for her guidance. That is the crux of my issue. i have been a regular patron for decades, by dining in or in some or in this case ordered in. i asked the receptionist for some guidance for 6 people, telling her we wanted 6-7 dishes. We were 6 people with average appetites and half the food is leftover. i understand that 1.5 orders feeds 4-6 people but what the receptionist should have told me once she knew we were ordering that many dishes we should have ordered less dishes ordered the single size portion in some if not all cases. Case in point, she suggested 2 full size trays of garlic bread (which was horrible btw) and 3/4 of it was left over. I unnecessarily spent an exorbitant amount of money on a 6 person meal, trusted the receptionist and should have received better guidance when ordering that many things. when i called back 2 days later to express my feelings to the manager, he basically offered me a refund for the garlic bread, not taking any responsibility for being totally misguided. LP has been doing this for decades and should KNOW that the more the dishes, cut back on the portion sizes...... Had i received a bit more of a token gesture and a small apology, you wouldn't be reading this review. DG"

"It 's been a few years since I 've been at a Cheesecake Factory, I recall it being a bit more higher-end (more like a step above Houlihans), but this location was NOT that; it felt dated and service was slow/sub-par to the point we saw two tables leavewhile we were there (supposedly computers went down). Not all the silverware was thoroughly clean. In addition, our serverwasn 't sharp. I had to repeat and remind the server of our drink order (one drink was missing, claimed I didn 't order it, butthen looked at his book and saw it was there and apologized) as well as forgot the dressing for my salad. One of the entreesnever arrived we had to flag down our waiter to follow up with the kitchen, it came 15-20 min after the other 2 had alreadyarrived (to the point food started getting cold) and our server barely followed up with us. He was nice when he was there buthis niceness did not make up for the poor service. Food was okay and the selection was vast (almost old-school diner like) somany options including low carb/calorie options (which was nice to see). Entree portions were filling but seems a bit light forthe price. The best value IMO is the Renee 's special, soup, salad, and sandwich. And if you 're looking for a healthier dessertoption, I recommend the low-calorie no sugar added Low-Licious Cheesecake, that was surprisingly good! These positives notes arethe only reason why I gave this location 2-stars, I 'm probably not returning to this location, I recall a better experience atthe Garden City location, so I 'll go there IF I decide to give Cheesecake Factory another shot."

"This is now our favorite sushi spot, with a dimly lit lounge area and good music that enhances relaxation and flavor tasting. The waitstaff at this Long Island restaurant provides top-notch service. Even with my toddler in tow, we received professional and welcoming treatment. As a former bartender, I am impressed by the creativity and quality of their signature drinks. The hibachi section can be loud, so be prepared for a lively atmosphere. Despite the noise, the hibachi food is excellent, though not necessarily the best I've had. The entertainment at the hibachi tables is constant, as there are many tables turning over regularly."

"The server was amazing with my crazy accommodations. I had the best time with my friends. I had paper delle with bolognese and ricotta cheese. It was delicious. The amount of time from the appetizers to the entrees was so quick. Thanks to the IVARONE Staff for an amazing night!"

"Have eaten here many times. Even have done catering. Everything is always great. Delicious food, good portions. However, yesterday we brought my grandma here for her 93rd birthday. Our meal was great. At the end they brought out chocolate ice cream with a sparkler for her birthday. She loved it! We got the check to see that the chocolate ice cream was $5 more than our other two desserts. Which I thought was strange (I’ve worked in many restaurants and birthday desserts are usually free) but, that’s fine if not. We understand times are hard. When we asked the waiter about the price difference he explained it was for the sparkler. I’m sorry but $5 for an extra charge for someone’s BIRTHDAY? All I can say is this was tacky. I would never up-charge someone for something on their birthday. Definitely won’t be coming back for another special occasion."
