Cons - worse than poor customer service.
This was our first visit to the Smuggler's Cove restaurant. We did not book in advance. When we entered the restaurant we were left standing for around 5 minutes for a member of staff. When he appeared he asked if we had pre-booked. I said we had not. His attitude then completely changed for the worse, leaving all 3 of us with the impression we were not welcome. He said "There's maybe a table up there if you want to go and have a look". He did not show us to a table, instead leaving us to find one ourselves.
I had to request a clean cup, not the dirty one I was given.
During our 2 hour visit we did not see one table cleared from around us. All of the plates etc were just left on the tables for the entire visit, including up to the time when we left.
All in all, the food was fine, the service was totally inadequate. I would NOT recommend a visit to this restaurant again.
