    This was our second time to eat at this restaurant and it was equally as good as the first time we were there. We sat in the beautiful parlor room and had exceptional service from our waiter, Drew. The food was phenomenal!

    Overall we enjoyed our experience. The short ribs and meatballs were delicious however the salmon al limone while cooked very nicely was overwhelmed by the lemon beurre blanc sauce. The service was just ok. We waited a long time for our food, and then two of the 6 dishes took at least 5-10 extra minutes to be served which they never apologized for. I felt as if maybe they didn't have enough staff to accommodate the amount of tables they are serving.

    We had the Governor’s salad and meatballs for appetizers/ delicious and the Ossobuco was so tender and juicy and the veal scallopini hands down one of the best I tried the server was very attentive to our needs and they have a half off bottle of wine special with great selection
    Governor's House Wine Bar & KitchenResponded on 29 October 2024
    Thanks for the kind words about our food, wine & service. The Osso Bucco is personally my favorite dish on the menu though we put out more Short Rib then any other dish. I'm just happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us hear at Governor's and hope to see you again soon! James Curvall General Manager

    We had a wonderful experience celebrating my MIL's 74th bday. Jimmy, the GM, went above and beyond in accommodating her disability. Agree with others about not being in a rush...just enjoy the slower pace. Excellent food and service ... The catch of the day, mahi, was plentiful and delicious. Recommend all 4 ravioli varieties. We'll be back for sure!
    Governor's House Wine Bar & KitchenResponded on 29 October 2024
    It was truly a pleasure having you at Governor's. Glad your family enjoyed there visit and I look forward to seeing you all back often. Tell your MIL I said happy Bday!

    Nice place, convenient. Service was friendly, prompt and spot on. Food was well portioned, and made right, just wasn't to my liking taste-wise.
    Governor's House Wine Bar & KitchenResponded on 29 October 2024
    I apologize we didn't hit on the food to your taste. Maybe come back and try another dish and see if we might hit your liking with something different. I try to make all who come here leave with a great experience and hope we might make that happen on a return visit.
