I remember when they first opened on Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills and their focus was cheesecakes. They also served salads, sandwiches and a few other savory dishes. However, over the years, their menu expanded; there are way too many items for them to be able to prepare any of them well. Their menu items are simplified, so that they can be quickly prepared by line cooks. The food has been dumbed down to appeal to the masses, for example, pasta puttanesca prepared without anchovies and Vietnamese summer rolls without mint.
