Marina Cafe — Restaurant in Hamilton Island

First time in Hamilton Island from Victoria, went to the cafe this morning to have breakfast. Service at front counter was great! Lovely young lady that served us was really nice. However, when needed to sit down all tables were really dirty and some had no cutlery available. When our drinks have been given to us the waitress just handed them over and started to walk off, there was no “I’ll wipe your table for you in a minute” so I excused myself to ask if she could wipe the table down and if we could get some cutlery, which is the bare minimum, she comes back to wipe the table and said “you could just take cutlery from other tables” and just slams the box of cutlery on our table.
