"We don't have a cocktail menu, but we can make anything you'd like."…read more That was one of the first things our server told us, and honestly, it was refreshing. These days, it feels like every bar has a cocktail menu full of creatively named drinks that require reading a list of ingredients just to figure out what you're ordering. At Governor's Tavern, if you want a gin and tonic, you simply ask for a gin and tonic. The only decision you need to make is which gin you'd like. I'm not much of a cocktail person, but I appreciate that not every place feels the need to reinvent the wheel. The place was packed at lunchtime, but we got lucky and grabbed a pair of seats across from the bar. The server who I quoted was genuinely friendly and welcoming. I ordered a Guinness, but unfortunately the keg had just kicked. She recommended the Samuel Smith chocolate stout instead and even brought me a sample before I committed to taste since I never heard of it, which was a nice touch. For food, we ordered the State Grill burger and the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich. Both were excellent, and each came with Belgian-style hand-cut fries. If you're spending the day browsing the boutiques and antique shops along Warren Street and want a drink, a good meal, and a lively mix of locals and tourists, Governor's Tavern is worth a stop.

Unfortunately, our overall experience was overshadowed by what I perceived as an unfriendly welcome from the owner, Eliana. From the moment we walked in, I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. Her communication came across as pushy and dismissive, which created a tense atmosphere. What disappointed me most was the feeling that we were being encouraged to leave when we expressed interest in seeing another section of the restaurant. Whether that was the intention or not, it left us feeling unwelcome as guests. While the food, drinks, and service staff were enjoyable, the overall experience was negatively affected by this interaction. Français Le service et les boissons étaient bons, et le personnel qui nous a servis était agréable. Malheureusement, notre expérience globale a été gâchée par ce que j'ai perçu comme un accueil peu chaleureux de la part de la propriétaire, Eliana. Dès notre arrivée, je me suis senti mal à l'aise et peu le bienvenu. Sa façon de communiquer m'a semblé insistante et froide, ce qui a créé une atmosphère désagréable. Ce qui m'a le plus déçu, c'est le sentiment d'être encouragé à partir lorsque nous avons manifesté notre intérêt pour voir une autre partie du restaurant. Que cela ait été son intention ou non, nous nous sommes sentis peu appréciés en tant que clients. Même si les boissons et le service étaient de qualité, cette interaction a fortement affecté notre expérience. Español El servicio y las bebidas fueron buenos, y el personal que nos atendió fue amable. Sin embargo, nuestra experiencia general se vio afectada por lo que percibí como una bienvenida poco cordial por parte de la dueña, Eliana. Desde que entramos, me sentí incómodo y poco bienvenido. Su manera de comunicarse me pareció insistente y poco amable. Lo que más me decepcionó fue sentir que prácticamente nos estaban invitando a irnos cuando mostramos interés en ver otra parte del restaurante. Independientemente de cuál fuera la intención, nos hizo sentir poco valorados como clientes. Aunque las bebidas y el servicio fueron buenos, esta interacción afectó negativamente nuestra visita. Português O atendimento e as bebidas foram bons, e os funcionários que nos atenderam foram simpáticos.

Desde o momento em que entramos, senti-me desconfortável e pouco bem-vindo. A forma como ela se comunicou pareceu insistente e pouco amigável.

Italiano Il servizio e le bevande erano buoni e il personale che ci ha assistito è stato gentile. Purtroppo, l'esperienza complessiva è stata compromessa da quello che ho percepito come un atteggiamento poco accogliente da parte della proprietaria, Eliana. Fin dal nostro arrivo mi sono sentito a disagio e poco benvenuto. Il suo modo di comunicare mi è sembrato insistente e sgarbato. Ciò che mi ha deluso maggiormente è stata la sensazione che ci stesse praticamente invitando ad andarcene quando abbiamo mostrato interesse nel vedere un'altra parte del locale. Che fosse o meno la sua intenzione, ci siamo sentiti poco apprezzati come clienti. Sebbene il servizio e le bevande fossero validi, questa interazione ha avuto un impatto negativo sulla nostra visita. Nederlands De service en de drankjes waren goed en het personeel dat ons hielp was vriendelijk. Helaas werd onze algehele ervaring overschaduwd door wat ik ervoer als een onvriendelijke ontvangst door de eigenaresse, Eliana. Vanaf het moment dat we binnenkwamen voelde ik mij ongemakkelijk en niet echt welkom. Haar manier van communiceren kwam op mij over als opdringerig en afstandelijk. Wat mij het meest teleurstelde, was het gevoel dat we werden aangemoedigd om te vertrekken toen we interesse toonden in een ander gedeelte van het restaurant. Of dat nu de bedoeling was of niet, het gaf ons het gevoel niet gewaardeerd te worden als gasten. Hoewel de drankjes en de service goed waren, heeft deze ervaring een negatieve indruk achtergelaten. 日本語 (Japanese) ドリンクは美味しく、スタッフのサービスも良かったです。しかし残念ながら、オーナーのエリアナの態度によって全体の経験が台無しになりました。 お店に入った瞬間から、歓迎されているというよりも居心地の悪さを感じました。彼女の態度は押しつけがましく、失礼で、正直なところ「お客さんに来てほしくないのかな」と思ってしまうほどでした。 特に驚いたのは、レストランの別のエリアを見てみたいと思った時の対応です。歓迎されるどころか、「見たいなら帰ってください」と言われているような気分になりました。私はこれまで多くの国を旅し、たくさんのレストランを訪れてきましたが、このような経験は初めてです。 レストランというのは、お客さんを歓迎し、心地よく過ごしてもらう場所であるべきです。ただ中を見たいと思っただけで迷惑者のように扱われるべきではありません。 ドリンクは良く、スタッフも親切でした。しかし、オーナーの態度がそのすべてを台無しにしてしまいました。

We ordered the sea salt focaccia with whipped ricotta, the Maine mussels all'Amatriciana, the Argentinian red prawns, the heritage pork chop, and toffee pudding. The focaccia was baked perfectly, with just the right amount of seasoning. The biggest surprise, though, was the mussels. They arrived already removed from the shells, which I wasn't expecting, but they ended up being the standout dish of the meal. The prawns were good, while the pork chop had nice flavor, though I wish it had been a little juicier. The toffee pudding is highly recommended. Overall, it was a solid meal in a comfortable setting.

My husband ordered Mike frites and they were very good. Frites even came with some homemade aioli I had the fried chicken on a bed of mash. But they should serve mash in the side as the Chicken got soggy. It was all well prepared and tasty. We really wanted a side of cooked greens.

For drinks, we both started with the poison flower which was a vodka and hibiscus based drink. It was perfect for me and I ended up having 3! The Old Fashioned was excellent.
