If you've been to SouthSide Works, you've noticed the Cheesecake Factory -- the castle-like structure, complete with towers and minarets, dominates the central courtyard. Inside, it's equally elaborate, with a 400-person dining room that evokes an art deco movie palace. Egyptian-style faces stare out from great pillars; paintings are framed as large mock windows (look up and check out some nifty "skylights"); and electric torches brighten the room.

That brings us to the main attraction: the huge menu, with more than 200 items. That includes plenty of desserts (try the Godiva chocolate cheesecake), temptingly arranged at a counter by the door. It also includes dinner choices ranging from Italian (penne pasta Da Vinci, with sauteed chicken, mushrooms, onion and garlic in madiera wine sauce), to Mandarin (spicy cashew chicken), to Jamaican (spicy black-pepper shrimp), not to mention American favorites such as the Factory burger.
