Problem: Never did I actually think going to The Cheesecake Factory would be one of my highlights of my Vegas trip recently for a convention. Not only did we have one of our better nights here, but we actually spent about 4 hours sitting at the bar. No lie. That was our second night in a row there. Our first night, we came for dinner and didn't feel like waiting 45 minutes for a table. We quickly snagged a corner seat at the bar and were helped by Jeremy (The guy that looks like "the guy from Jarhead" aka Jake Gyllenhaal). We both ordered the fish tacos, but Jeremy suggested the plate was big and we could probably split it, which we ended up doing and didn't regret it because it was a LOT. The only gripe I would have is that the rice was strange. I have no idea what was in it, but it was strange. He was quick and attentive-- perfect dinner service! The next night, we opted going straight to the bar again, and were helped by Jose & William. William, hands down, knows which dishes are worth getting and will steer you away from something you may regret ordering later. HANDS DOWN this guy's got the menu memorized. I even was able to test his knowledge about what was in certain dishes, and he was able to answer without hesitation; and if anyone's ever been in the Cheesecake Factory, you know their menus are 80-page books. He was able to suggest the Miso Salmon & the Veggie Salad, both of which we ordered and were NOT disappointed (seriously, order these items). He can also make a mean "Jolly Rancher" shot! Jose was one of my favorite bartenders... basically ever. This guy's been bartending for 8 years, and you can really tell. He has an awesome attitude, a great smile, and is efficient as heck (he also bartends events, so if you're ever looking to find someone to do your event, he's your man!) He can make great conversation, tell some insane stories, but will still finish the hundreds of drink orders that are coming in. I feel like after the 4 hours we spent sitting at the bar, we made some great Cheesecake Factory friends. I wish this particular CF were local, but alas, anything in Vegas stays in Vegas, and I guess that goes for the bartenders/service we've had here. Until we decide to have many more glasses of wine at the Cheesecake Factory in the Forum Shops; cheers!

Problem: This is one of those places where you might need a little help getting acclimated. Fortunately for me, I had Hannah. First time really shopping here, I had picked out a couple items and went into the dressing room. Met Hannah and she set me up with a room. Tried the clothes in and chatted with her about them. Flash forward 30 minutes and I'm walking out with $700 in clothing. I've NEVER spent this kind of money on clothes but Hannah set me up with some beautiful choices. Now, Anthropologie has become my drug of choice. I can't go near it without dropping at least $50, most likely $100. But that's ok because their clothes are awesome. Great quality and beautiful! If you're at Northlake, ask for Hannah. She's great to work with as a personal shopper!

Problem: Had the taste of Italy. The Chicken Parmigiana and Lasagna was overcooked. The Fettuccine Alfredo was OK except that all the red sauce from the other two items bleed all other the plate and ruined the taste. Bread sticks and salad were good.

Problem: I have been to six penn multiple times and normally its good food and ok service. However this past Friday service was absolutely terrible they messed up multiple orders and the food wasnt even good. I tried the summer bbq and everything was overcooked. The ribs had next to no meat. I will have to say if you are going to give this place a try go for the cracklin pork shank. Now for the service, it is some of the worst we have ever experienced. They messed up orders and we couldn't even get the waiter's attention to tell him that he gave us the wrong thing. Instead of removing the item from our bill he only reduced the item by 50%. All and all the food isn't terrible, however for the price I expect better quality and service. I have had similar, if not better tasting food at other new up and coming spots in Pittsburgh. Unless they make some major changes to service levels we will not be returning.
