This place is at a great location and got a fun and lively atmosphere for all kinds of occasions… whether you want a nicer lunch (that I wouldn’t say is pricey), you’re catching up with a group of friends, or just want to sit at their kitchen bar to watch the hustle and bustle around the pizza oven. The service and the food are consistently good. They have some interesting pizzas such as ones with teriyaki or duck that I don’t necessarily find appealing, but I suppose those are great alternatives if you’re tired of traditional pizzas. They have non-pizza or pasta items too such as Asian noodle dishes and salads, etc.

I like how when the weather is nice the restaurant gets a ton of natural light because it is basically a window structure. Like all other restaurants in downtown Bellevue, there may be a wait if you go during peak hours.

There’s just no way to go wrong at CPK. I’ve been eating here for at least 10 years if not longer. It’s one of the few large chain restaurants that has phenomenal food. The quality of food is consistent, as is the service, and pricing.

I’m not a fan of Cheesecake Factory because to me it’s highly mediocre and over priced. CPK personifies what “tendy” chains should be.
