2 Star Review by Annabelle
Plenty of seating available but the food from downstairs bistro is way better than the rooftop kitchen. Theres also way more variety downstairs. The buttermilk fried chicken WINGS we bought were ALL drumsticks. Not one wing to be found why call them wings then ? Tortilla chips were stale unfortunately and the guac was watery. Sweet potato chips were the best thing we ordered and the aioli went well with it.

Great venue with different vibes/ambience across different area depending what youre feeling. Great service as well. We had food and drinks on level 2 (sports bar type of vibes) where the pool tables and arcades were. Had a couple of pizzas; prosciutto ($24), funghi ($22), meat lover ($24). Pizza bases were bready, takes some effort to chew through. Toppings were generous. Quality was decent. We also ordered a second time and it was a tad under. Though pizzas were served on the second floor, youd have to grab pizzas boxes from ground floor for takeaways. The usual beers on tap.

Yummy pub food! We ordered sweet potato fries, pizza and pasta. Food were great and came with large servings. There were limited parking Available. There were plenty of seats available and no booking required.

The rooftop of The Governor Hotel is a lovely place to dine when it's a beautiful day. Unfortunately, the food was very average. My tofu flatbread was comically low effort: a block of firm tofu sliced in half, coated in sweet chilli sauce and laid on shredded cabbage and two pieces of pita bread. Something I could easily make at home, and I am no cook. The lamb flatbread was equally unimpressive. My friend also found the schnitzel to be dry. I think the sweet potato fries and buttermilk chicken wings were better options. The cocktail jugs were alright too.

ordered via QR code which is handy for a location like this, and was texted when the order was ready to collect. hosts and bar staff were friendly, food was great although there was a very small food selection and was somewhat expensive atmosphere was friendly, comfortable and fun. we sat on the roof top, we got there by lift and stairs, I saw their response to another review saying they are working on the access to the roof top bar which will be great to see

We had such a wonderful night at the Governor bistro. The Staff at the bistro were so friendly and helpful and the food was delicious especially the Porchetta which Riley recommended as I said I loved pork and she helped me find it on the menu. After dinner I enjoyed the best brownie I have ever tasted. I mean ever. I was a brownie that I will dream about having again. I will definitely be coming back to this venue.
5 Star Review by Rhonda Aloisio
Have visited this venue on a few occasions. We enjoyed being able to sit in a booth in the main bistro area as we we're celebrating a birthday. The parking on a Monday night wasn't a problem. It would be easy access too for mobility challenged people. The food was delicious and prompt. We tried the rainbow bowls and salt and pepper squid with an entrees of warmed olives. There were a number of vegetarian and at least one vegan option. Would have liked a vegan dessert option. Staff were courteous and helpful.
