After a long wait was predicted—1.5 hour wait at the Natick mall—we drove over to the Burlington implementation of the Cheesecake Factory (CF), where the wait was supposed to be 35 min. On arrival though that changed to 2.5 hours. Of course we went back to the Natick mall where by now our spot should have been close… it took another 40 min with 1:50 being the real wait in the end. Markus 18th birthday and his successful college admission, and Ivan visit from Chicago all packaged in one was well worth the wait. We enjoyed our time and had a fabulous dinner. The two cheesecakes we ordered were much better than what I remembered from my first eating Cheesecake there in Chicago.
We also eventually got the call for the Burlington mall CF but we had already eaten the main course by then.
