We have some close friends that we go out to dinner with fairly consistently.  One of our favorites is The cheesecake factory.  It is is a great place to get an early dinner at a reasonable price.   Overall portion size for this restaurant is on the large size, but, if you arrive before 5 and sit in the bar area you can still order the lunch size portion at half the dinner rate and make it to the theatre on time!   Food is always high quality and if you save room you might be able to fit in some cheesecake!  Always love this place.
