    Our family experienced a less than stellar dining experience; slow service and entrees were cold. Our waiter was attentive and apologetic for the slow service. I believe the kitchen was to blame for the long wait time for our food. Once the food was delivered it was mediocre at best. The pasta dishes were cold and the chicken was over cooked. The filet and mash potatoes entree was okay. The filet had no flavor. I wouldn’t go back. There are many other restaurants in the area that out perform this one.

    Our waitress was "Sam" and she was accommodating to all of our needs, gave prompt, friendly service, and checked on us several times. She did a fantastic job! The meatball appetizer was delicious and my ravioli duo dinner was divine! The presentation was pretty, and the food was perfectly seasoned. I would definitely eat here again!

    Makes me really happy to hear you enjoyed your food & your service by Sam. I will most assuredly pass on your compliments to her! We look forward to having you back soon at Governor's House.

    Another great experience! We love sitting toward the end of the bar - lots of fun action with the wait staff. Chicken Parm was 10+ -- an absolute gem. Service fantastic; always love the vibe. Will be back again and again!
