The Cheesecake Factory

I ordered the 4-cheese pasta that was listed as a gluten free option. The description listed 4 cheeses plus marinara. I asked for the marinara on the side because I don't like cheese sauce and marinara mixed together. My waiter didn't speak English very well, he brought me a bowl of dry gluten free pasta with chicken on it, and a bowl of marinara. I asked him where the cheese was and he brought me a small plate with a dollop of ricotta cheese on it. I told him it was supposed to be 4 cheese pasta, I expected there to be some kind of yellow cheese sauce in it, and he proceeded to bring me 2 more small plates with shredded cheese. I really didn't know what to do next, I was so confused. I told him I expected the dish to look like macaroni and cheese with yellow cheese sauce. He went to get the manager, who thankfully spoke English, and he had told the manager I wanted to know why my noodles were yellow. I explained to the manager that I ordered the gluten free 4 cheese pasta dish and I was expecting something more like macaroni and cheese. He said no worries, I can whip you up a cheese sauce if you like. He came out soon after with a cheese sauce for my noodles which tasted pretty good despite the fact that their gluten free noodles aren't all that great to begin with. Then I ended up getting sick when we got back to the hotel. We don't go to pricy places like this often, it was supposed to be a special treat for my daughter's birthday. Definitely won't be back.

Celiac friendly?

No

Burger on a gluten free bun was great. Fries were also on the gluten free menu - they were so good. Had no problems after eating there.

Guac was a bit too spicy and corn cakes were just ok. Better off getting the arugula or asparagus salad and pasta.

Cheesecake is always safe for me.

Was not bad but experience varies by server. We came twice as staying nearby... only on the 2nd visit did our server correct the misinformation from the first server.

There is NO dedicated fryer... it is shared oil. A lot of the staff are unclear of the difference

Tried to order a gluten free four cheese pasta for my Celiac daughter. When asked if they cook the pasta in separate water and use separate utensils, they said unfortunately they cook it in the same water as gluten pasta and they can’t use separate water. :(
