Had lunch in one of the booths - fabulous for 7 of us, then took our coffees to the rooftop - wow! Everything looks great - the attention to detail is obvious (the funky sink tap & hand dryer, the artwork, the booths, lighting). Will definitely return.

For a counter order service model it was easy to do, no queue and good service. Waiting times were also fine. Only criticism was the noise level, but it wasn't too bad given it was 2/3 full

The prices you charge for meals - too much. OK, we go up to the counter to order them but PLEASE don’t make patrons collect them considering the charge incurrent for the meals. There should be table service. The cocktails in rooftop ESS should be served in cocktail glasses not large whisky glasses. The gas heaters should be distributed so when a group comes or a couple there’s access for them to use one. Despite seeing a few wait staff walking around and checking for glasses, not one offered a gas heater to be placed near where we sat on a cool night. We let afternoon one drink.

We were celebrating our 53rd Wedding Anniversary & decided to dine at The Governor. It was my husbands first visit & my second & we thoroughly enjoyed the food, atmosphere & friendly service. My only concern is the limited parking.

Excellent atmosphere, but the food selection range wasn't too great. We have ordered beef bowl & pizza (italian job). The bowl was just ok, but the pizza wasn't so good - it wasn't even cooked properly. I wouldn't order the pizza in the future...

Initially I had trouble making a restaurant reservation on my PC as your website wanted me to turn on Cookies for my Google login to work. I refuse to do this so that was annoying. I was able to make the reservation on my iPhone and when we arrived only 30 mins later, I was impressed that the staff knew of the reservation and simply took us to the table. Impressive use of technology...

Restaurant prices without table service. We ordered entrees and mains, it all came at once! Food was reheated, as it was cold in the centre, hot on the side and really hot plate. Overall not a great experience, unfortunately.

It is a good hotel and was quiet crowded as it was a Saturday evening, we got the parking inside, but really the parking needs to be a bit more bigger than the current one. Food was good but there is one suggestion that I would like to give. If you get more halal meat (like beef and lamb as well) then the halal options will be more and you gather a much bigger customer base. I hope your management will consider my suggestions

The price of your side salads is outrageous. $8.00 for soggy iceberg lettuce and where was the apple? Why can't you serve s green salad with the steak and chips and not have to exchange, just give it It would cost you 10c.. You charge too much as it is. The tables were not cleared and we sat with dirty dishes for 1 hour. Then to top it off the wine was served in a champagne glasses because they ran out and apparently people steal them. If they had cleared our table there would have been sufficient glasses.

Hi there We have dined in the restaurant several times now but found our last visit disappointing. The lack of parking is an issue, especially with elderly people in our group. Not sure why the buses need such an enormous area for parking up to 8pm when there is a designated bus bay for them to drive into across from your driveway. 1 person serving at the bar, when people are queuing and you have several floor staff walking around that could have helped the barman wasn't ideal for everyone waiting for a drink, and the noise levels were very high in the restaurant, so much so that we left straight after our meal as we couldn't hear each other talking. Hopefully you can address the noise levels as it's becoming difficult to find places to eat out at that are not noisy, with so many hard surfaces. Thanks for the opportunity to send this feedback and sorry I don't want to sound like a whinger , especially as you have such a fabulous venue, but I hope you find this feedback helpful . Kind regards Miff cheers miff
