I visited the Cheesecake Factory in Rockville.  This was
my first trip to a Cheesecake Factory *anywhere*, but the
problem I experienced there is menu-related and would
probably apply to any location.  My fiance and I waited
about an hour to be seated, which I imagine is par for
the course.  If we were a little hungrier going in, we
might have left after awhile, but we were also a little
curious about the place.  

The problem we had?  The food. It just wasn't very good.
It wasn't a matter of bad preparation - it just seemed
that some items just sounded better on paper than in
reality.  We joked that some of the recipes must've been
created on computer and not tested adequately. ;)  The
standard, hard-to-get-wrong stuff was fine (i.e, fried
calimari), but their more "unusual", signature items
were another story.  BTW, I had the chicken-and-
avocado sandwich (Navajo sandwich?)  and my fiance
had that pasta dish called "[someone's] favorite".

The chocolate cake was just fine, though. :)

Anyone with similar experiences?  I know we had a Cheesecake
Factory thread a very short time ago, but I can't remember
if this was discussed or not.
