"Regardless of how good the food is, they treat their staff abysmally. Just know that when you leave a tip, it's probably funding the owners' lavish holidays. I worked at Cafe Source, the same owners as Niven's, and I worked hard. Cash tips were collected at the till, and all staff were to put tips in a jar to be divvied up. However, the owners kept the hardworking staff's tips, tossing us or every fortnight. We were definitely pulling in more than that. When I put in my notice and went back to collect my last two weeks of tips, owner Paul fobbed me off, and I never did get what I was owed. I guess it's no surprise, with how rude he could be to staff. Sure, they had a nice staff Christmas party every year, but minimum wage workers need their tips. They also never paid me holiday pay, which I didn't find out was a legal requirement until it was too late to submit a complaint. Really awful way to treat loyal staff!"

Got the pan roast lamb and it was amazing. My girlfriend got the hake and it was beautifully cooked. The house beer washed it all down well. The staff ontop of it all were really lovely, friendly and attentive.

great eating in a beautiful place. not the largest place, so recommend booking. large aromas and menus are diverse. from the appetizers to dessert, everything was full of taste and interesting ingredients. highly recommended if they are somewhere near the opposite.

A relatively new establishment from the creators of Cafe Source, this restaurant is a great spot for drinks and dinner in the early evening, especially on a rare sunny evening in July. The space is modern and clean with entrances at both ends, plenty of glass, and outdoor seating. The service was quick and attentive, with a unique selection of draft beers such as a peach weissbier and a tart berry and hibiscus concoction in a pale pink color. The menu offers interesting options including vegetarian dishes. The smoked salmon with beetroot granita was visually appealing, while the hanger steak was cooked perfectly and accompanied by a standout polenta chip. The fries I ordered on the side were...

a relatiw new start-up from the people behind cafe source. nice place for an early evening drink and dinner, this time at a (same) sunny evening in the juli. a cool, unlimited room with an entrance at both ends, lots of glass and some outside seats. a fast welcome and attentive service in all areas. interesting selection of excavator bears, among them a pfirsich white beer and a really acidic beer and hibiscus catalyzer in light pink. Lip puckering on good wise. they can try a rehearsal before they buy. interesting menu with vegetarian options. the smoked salmon with arable grass was beautiful. the hanger steak was perfectly cooked and came with the star of the plate, a large fat-pinta chip....
