Food was amazing and cannot fault it at all! Service was rushed and a little abrupt. We were served our entrees before all our guests arrived. Told to start eating as there was more food coming. We felt rude starting before everyone arrived. Our waiter was rather abrupt and pushing alcohol on guests that were driving which I felt was irresponsible. He also was very in your face and put menus right in front of people's faces, not to mention talking at people rather than politely stepping in to ask guests a question.
