We looked at the cakes on our way out - gigantic, as tall or taller than
they were wide. Because we were having breakfast, we didn't try a
dessert.
The night before, we went to Cheesecake Factory in the Menlo Park Mall
(5 or 10 minutes by car from Harold's). I have to say that I don't
think I've ever had a bad meal at a Cheesecake Factory restaurant, and
most of what we had we more than just satisfactory, it was really good.
