My partner and I initially decided to eat at the café because the scenery was inviting, the food prices seemed reasonable and the menu had a good range of breakfast options, including gluten free. The food quality was average and the service was fairly quick, however, they did get part of our order wrong. The waitress was initially friendly and patient when taking our order, however, things quickly began to turn sour. Whilst waiting for our food to arrive, my partner and I wanted to have a cigarette. We collected an ash tray from another table and were considerate enough to choose a table at the back away from other customers who may not have appreciated the cigarette smoke. The owner then came outside and asked us not to smoke near a public footpath, which, admittedly, seemed bizarre, but we obliged and put the cigarettes out. Shortly after, the owner's wife/waitress came over with our food and asked us again not to smoke there, athough the cigarettes were already out. When my partner tried to explain that we were refraining from blowing smoke over the other customers, she decided to give her unwarranted and unprofessional opinion on smoking saying "Yes, but I don't like it". In terms of constructive feedback, this situation could have been avoided by placing non-smoking signs on certain tables and refraining from passing judgemental comments to customers which made us feel very uneasy. (Stars deducted after the owner's pretentious response. Please note in case they edit their response they referred to 2 cigarettes exposed to the open elements as a "cloud of smoke". P.S. glue the ashtrays to the tables or as our constructive criticism says "better signage would help with the matter" as in any other establishment the ashtraysare free to move when in an outdoor environment) xx😘xx
