    No money required - I get a buzz just walking through the place - then a little stop at the massaging chairs and off for some cheesecake :D

    It's quite a nice mall to walk thru! then if it's nice you can walk the walkway to the court, for some cheesecake....or DRINKS @ cheesecake factory!

    i'd say pretty middle of the road, but for a chain especially.....more of a high-end chain, thus i think the 'yuppie' label in the thread title. certainly is not an *expensive* restaurant by any stretch, but really it ain't *cheap* either. i think all-you-can-eat buffets, bennigans, applebees, diners.....those are low-end restaurant. sure, ruth chris and up...more the upper end of dining.

    I visited NYC last year and decided to try a genuine New York Cheesecake (sorry, can't remember the place, but it was in Soho around midnight and it was packed!!!). Not only was it bigger and cheaper than what the Cheesecake Factory has to offer, but it was by far the best dessert I've ever tasted -- and I'm a big fan of cheesecakes!!!
    Rock on!

    I would say Dennys, Cocos, Carrows, Spires, and Norms, ETC... are low end...

    CF is middle of the road for my budget...
