    I would like to start by saying that the food was AMAZING. drinks were awesome and we got a variety. Everything was great but felt like the server was rushing us to leave. We went early on a Friday and no one was in the restaurant but felt like we were being pushed out. Checks were picked up while we were still there and not busy at all which seems odd to me.
