Review of The Cheesecake Factory

I called ahead to inquire about cross-contamination and was told that they'll prepare separately if the waiter is told when we arrive. The waiter was told that I have gluten allergy and needed food to be prepared separately, but my salad came with croutons. Waiter was apologetic for that and obtained a fresh one for me. When I ordered my main dish, which was marked GF, I was told they were out of that particular chicken, so I chose Sheppard's Pie, also marked GF. Taste was okay/average. My girlfriend ordered a glass of wine, which came out with lipstick on the glass that they mentioned was "water spots." They took the glass of wine off of our bill, but these blunders were annoying. I did not have any reaction to my food, so I assume that they prepared my food appropriately. Skipped their gluten-free cheesecake due to prior errors.

Be cautious if you choose to eat here. Ask questions and make sure you check with waiter.
