Restaurant Artwork and Decor

Part of The Cheesecake Factory experience is enjoying our distinctive decor. This is where we add our color and fun, from the Egyptian columns and hand-blown lighting fixtures, to the dark cherry wood and brass accents. Common decor themes found throughout The Cheesecake Factory restaurants are our murals, created by Mary D’Astugues, a former manager who launched the trend at our Redondo Beach location in 1988. These distinct murals add panache and a unique touch to each Cheesecake Factory location.

Restaurant Design

All of our restaurants are designed in-house. For all inquiries, please contact our development department at design@thecheesecakefactory.com.
