Looking for a diner like venue, it's exactly what we found. Ordered my usual (Buffalo Chicken Wrap) which came with really good French fries, side of coleslaw and a pickle. Stood up to the expectation of a wrap from the diner. Wrap was fresh with a lot of chicken, lettuce and tomatoes. Fries were crispy outside lovely soft inside. I didn't care for the slaw, but might be my taste buds. Desserts are available but we did pass on them. Parking lot is spacious enough, staff were pretty nice for being so close to closing and food was good.

It is right on the river and reminded me of the many Jersey shore seafood houses on the bays and ocean. The service was excellent, sharing information about the meals, answering questions, and assisting with my dietary needs (GF and DF). My husband, brother and sister-in-law tried the calamari as that's what they're known for. They said it did not disappoint. It was crispy, tender, not greasy and not too heavily breaded. The different sauces you can get on the side are delicious as well and add a unique touch to a simple dish. Dinner was amazing. I had the broiled seafood trio that was absolutely delectable. Tender white fish, perfectly cooked scallops and shrimp. The focus was on the seafood and not trying to overdo the sauces. It was a simple lemon white wine sauce that was delicious and made me want to go back. My husband had a lobster roll which was enormous and he said it was one of the best he's had. The rest of the table had fish and chips and Baja tacos which were all delicious. The fish and chips were not overly breaded or greasy, the fries were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The Baja tacos were refreshing with a lovely cilantro lime slaw. Of course the birthday boy had key lime pie for dessert because life is too short not to. He said it was light, creamy and perfectly tart. We can't wait to go back!

The large outdoor seating area overlooks the beautiful Hudson River, making it the perfect place to relax while watching boats cruise by, water skiers in action, or simply enjoying the peaceful waterfront views. There's also a spacious gazebo-style seating area that's perfect for taking pictures. If outdoor dining isn't your thing, there's plenty of comfortable indoor seating as well. The menu features classic American favorites, occasional prime rib specials, weekly specials, and a full bar. During my visit, we ordered the fish and chips with onion rings to share. The fish was light, flaky, and perfectly crispy, and the fries were delicious. The only thing I would change is that the onion rings seemed to have extra salt sprinkled on them. They were still good, but I'd prefer to season them myself. For dessert, we tried the lemon cake and the strawberry cake. Both were absolutely delicious! I personally can't eat strawberries, so be sure to check out my video for the live dessert tasting. This is definitely going into my regular summer rotation--especially on evenings when they have live music or a band playing.

"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.
