STORM food drinks events

The third time I’ve come here: it’s a potentially beautiful setting to enjoy a meal or drink by the docks. Alas, I was very disappointed to have once more experienced:

1. staff who do not acknowledge you when you enter their cafe
2. staff who continue to make it hard to be noticed when you try to make an order, and whose service is very slow
3. tables either barren (no menus, no place mats, chairs missing) or messy with previous customers’ rubbish; making it quite unclear where you should go and sit
4. a robotic, utilitarian attitude from the staff: no smiles, no attempt at even the most modest human warmth, some condescending and surreal remarks (“will you bring us a menu?” , “only if you’re going to order food”). The place has great potential, but I ended up walking a bit further up the docks to find an independent brunch cafe where the staff effortlessly matched a warm welcome with good food in splendid surroundings.
