We received our drink and bread quickly which was great, but before we could finish our bread our soup was delivered. And then before our soup was finished our dinners were served. And then seemingly the second we took our last bite of dinner we were being asked what we wanted for dessert. Overall, it was a good experience, but I really wish we weren't rushed through dinner as quickly as we were. I really don't fault our waitress at all. I think that this came straight from management as it seemed like every table was rotating as quickly as we were.

                                                                                        Is this helpful?
