On Sunday my family and I did our normal walk to the beach for a play. On this walk we always stop by Cafe Aqua and grab a coffee and some food however lately we have felt very unwelcomed at Cafe Aqua. I have 2 young kids with a pram and my god was it as if we were breaking some criminal law by bringing our pram in out of the hot sun and wind to order our coffee and food We felt so unwelcomed by all the staff and other customers who sort of “huffed” to walk around us that we just ordered coffee and left.

Read moreI recently dined at your restaurant , and while the food was truly excellent, the overall experience was let down by the service. The dishes were well-prepared and bursting with flavor, clearly showcasing the talent and passion in the kitchen. However, the attitude of the staff really put a damper on what could have been an outstanding meal.
I understand that restaurants can be busy, but that doesn't give the staff the right to be dismissive or arrogant. Polite, attentive service is just as important as the food itself, and unfortunately, that was lacking here. Waiting for long periods without acknowledgment, coupled with a brusque demeanor when we were finally served, made the experience less enjoyable.
