Governor Bradford Restaurant

TAYLOR our Server was exceptional!!! She award well attentive and addressed a few issues with our order. The Shoshito peppers were all super hot .... not just the random lottery of one out of 10 being hot, so she took those off our bill. The smash burger was great, oysters great, broccoli and burrata was great, but the flat iron steak was a little off for my pallet in the way it was aged and seasoned...this was just due to my palate... it was quite tender and others might like it just fine.

Abby was our server and she was so great. Food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious.

The food was so delicious. We were drawn to the menu because the dishes were very unique and sounded very good, and everything lived up to our expectations. The corn ribs were fantastic and I would highly recommend them. The service was very friendly and gave great recommendations on food and cocktails. I would highly recommend you check out this restaurant.

Loving the new Izakaya menu!! Sushi is delish, I enjoyed the Ima sake which pairs nicely with oysters and seafood. I also had the shishito peppers and gyoza. Their menu is fantastic and I can't wait to go back. Service was amazing with Abby and my host Marty (Liza Lott) awesome night!!

The musicians were too loud and it made it hard to carry on a conversation. Maybe start them at 9.

I had a pretty crummy experience sadly. My waiter didn’t come by my table for 10+ minutes and only after I went to the bar to get some water and asked the host if I had a server coming. The goyza was good, but the miso ramen was not. The broth wasn’t very flavorful and the extra pork I added was tough for chashu and cold. After my $40-50 meal, I got more food elsewhere.

This place was an unexpected win! From the outside, it looks like your usual tourist trap beach restaurant that happens to be historic, but it isn't. I was ready to completely ignore it and go find something else, but then I spotted a sign about ramen and had to check it out, and wow am I glad I did!

Note: I understand that some regulars are disappointed in the transformation from former dive bar to sleeper hit upscale restaurant. I get that; I can only speak to what I experienced as a newbie.

Atmosphere: Dark wood, dim lights, live music that wasn't too loud or obstructive.

Food: Excellent. They weren't kidding about their ramen; it really is good. The broth was rich and flavorful and the noodles had great texture. The pork belly was perfectly cooked and richly flavored.

Drinks: I don't recall what we had but the drinks were good. Nothing super exciting here.

Service: Quick, efficient, unobtrusive but attentive.

Prices: Not cheap, but not crazy expensive. I'm used to DC prices, so things have to be pretty stupid before they raise my eyebrows.

Parking: No parking lot associated with the restaurant. You might find street parking nearby in the off season. Your best bet is to park in one of the paid lots nearby or don't drive at all.

Do not come here for karaoke. My group showed up early on multiple week nights, all singed up at the same time on the app, and only one of us got to sing. Meanwhile, I saw the same staff sing the same songs on multiple nights around the same time which makes me think they somehow skip the queue. They were really good but give other people a chance. At least there's no more cover charge. The drinks and service are excellent. If you want karaoke, go to Hyannis instead.

We came in on a Saturday afternoon and sat at the bar to watch the Michigan game. The bartender was super friendly and described menu items in detail. We had delicious crispy “ spicy tokyo rub” chicken wings, a flavorful miso soup, and broccoli Goma, with a maple sesame sauce and crispy shallots. The restaurant has a ling history here, but was recently taken over by a new owner who relishes preparing interesting dishes with an Asian fusion flair. I recommend trying the “new” Bradford!

Unable to cook fried rice.........
Fried sushi was a fail. Sickly and full of cheese, so I sent it back. I asked for a bowl of fried rice instead. How can a Japanese themed restaurant serve up mushy, overcooked fried rice? That got sent back also. Paid for drinks only and left. Spoke to some locals later on. They'd never eaten there....... Hard pass.
