Visited for our anniversary! Service was ok but the management in this place must be ran by clowns. Asked for manager I think the guys name was jimmy or James well he was sweating and looked high and didn’t fix our issue. Wouldn’t recommend for a nice relaxed environment.

We went to dinner this evening for my birthday and unfortunately the food was very disappointing. We waited over 90 minutes for our entrees to arrive cold and overcooked. The server was kind enough to ask us if we wanted to reheat our food, but at that point we were too hungry to wait longer. The server profusely apologized for the subpar food and offered free dessert, which looked very unappetizing (see photos). We later found out the head chef had quit shortly before Christmas and no replacement has been found. This unfortunate event has sadly spilled over into the food quality and service.
Our entire dining experience took over 2 hours and the restaurant turned off the music while we waited for checks to be picked up from the table. The manager never once came over to apologize for the food or delays. We would’ve appreciated some interaction from management and offer to comp at least a portion of our food. We’re disappointed with our experience, especially for a celebratory dinner.

4 of us went for New Years Eve dinner. Disappointed in the food and even more disappointed in the service. Food was average at best. Waiter seemed confused and not very personable. He attempted to upcharge the order. Felt like I was dealing with a used car salesman as he attempted to upsell salads and even bread for the table. The building was a bit on the dirty side and full of smoke from the kitchen. Was hoping we would have found our new favorite restaurant but unfortunately we probably won’t return.

The Governor’s House is, in a word, outstanding. We had our annual family dinner here Saturday night and got impeccable service from Jordan and the GM Jimmy. Talk about rolling out the red carpet! And the food is absolutely first-rate. Chicken parm breading is crisp and tasty. The meatballs are tender and full of flavor. And the alfredo sauce — chef’s kiss!! Tasted the pork shank that needed only a fork and not a knife to “cut.” Just an overall wonderful experience.

Salmon was so salty really couldn't eat much if it. Others had short rib nachos, which are usually good but tonight they hardly had any meat on them

Our server Drew was exquisite in service and he was very polite. The manager also checked in with us through our time there and it was absolutely the best experience I’ve had.

I found myself on Sunday night looking for a good meal. I stumbled upon the Governor's House. It was early, so it was fairly quiet. But I did get the pulled pork, shrimp ravioli. It was sensational. I can't say enough good things about the service and food.

A cozy Italian restaurant with very very good heartfelt food. Felt welcomed and intimate. We loved everything we ate from meatballs and marinara to the shrimp Alfredo and esp the short ribs. Very unrated restaurant that deserves all the love!!
