"It was a Monday morning before 10am. As you ascend the stairs at the top there is a large sign asking you to 'wait here to be seated '. My wife and I waited. There 3 people behind the counter, 2 wearing aprons. Two of them looked over at us but with no acknowledgement. We waited. Again the male member of staff this time looked at us, no acknowledgement that we were there. There were only 2 tables occupied so we didn 't wait any longer and went in and sat at a table ourselves. Within a few minutes the male server came over with 2 menus that were thrust onto the table without a word. Then a female server came with note pad and was very polite and attentive. Our order was taken and a table was also booked for later in the week. Whilst waiting a customer came in with a dog on a lead and went straight to where the cakes are displayed and promptly poo 'd on the mat, that is the dog not the owner. The owner cleaned it up seen by the male server. The owner and the dog then went and sat at a table within the cafe not out on the patio. Having been a dog owner most of my life I do not mind dog friendly cafes but I do feel that they should have a segregated area for such customers with dogs. The outside patio area seems suited for this purpose. It was not raining this day and is mostly covered anyway. I did not see any staff member go to that area where the dog had poo 'd to inspect it or spray any disinfectant over the mat or put a cleaning sign up temporarily. We finished our food and drink and left. By the time we left the cafe was getting busier and nothing was said by us to the staff, however it is not my job to tell the staff their job."
