Fabulous lunch great time had by all on mother's day!
Great service, great food and gorgeous set up! Worth a visit.
I loved the atmosphere and the food was amazing ! The cocktails were also to die for ! Will definitely be back again 😊
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.
Always delicious food and warm and welcoming staff. Love this place!
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
Fantastic! Will definitely be back to try the rooftop bar :)
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.
Good new hotel in Macquarie Park. Needs to calibrate air conditioning. Great gluten free options.
Friend of mine and I have visited very first time and ordered Vegetariana Pizza, Oven baked broccoli & cauliflower etc. It was so yummy and quality food. I'll visit again.
Lovely food Very clean Prosecco was super Will be back 😀
Enjoyable, take a jumper if sitting inside quite chilly Wait staff very helpful, unobtrusive
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.
Attended for the themed trivia upstairs the food menu is very small and overpriced, mc was very loud. Had a great time at the event but won’t be spending money on food and drink anytime soon
Seating arrangements were poor. Never going back again over rated and too expensive
Amazing food, drinks and staff. Loving the expanded menu up at ESS. Such a fun night!
Good food, good vibe, price was okay, I'd go back
Great venue for a relaxed work dinner. Very good atmosphere.
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...
No one gave us menus for our table - staff were nice
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.
Love the Gov, always great food! Quick service and friendly staff!!
Staff were friendly and very welcoming. Food arrived quickly and was delicious. The menu was fantastic, will definitely need to come back and try and few more. We will definitely be back!
Great food that was well priced and very big meals. Service was good and loved the venue!
The food was good thou parking is a nightmare rhanks
It was my third time back to The Govenor last night. You know they must be doing something right when every plate is completely empty every single time. Excellent food! We’ll be back!
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
Fabulous food and ambience. Table service would be a help though!
I REALLY enjoyed my meal last night. I have been to this establishment a few times now and it never disappoints. I am looking forward to my next visit. Great food and excellent bistro service.
With a big group, it would be good to have table service to take the food orders only.
It was lots of fun! Great venue, well run. Shame some of the contestants battled with the answers!
Had a great time there, would go again. Great atmosphere.
Had the Gov Cheese burger, best i've ever had.. yummy!!!
Since bistro was full, we went to the rooftop. Better atmosphere though some areas could be cleaner. Staff were friendly. Food was good!
Pros: Great venue, nice food, decent prices. Cons: Over air conditioned, limited parking and too noisy
Great place. Macquarie Park definitely needed this place! Great Team also!
Great and lovely venue to dine at! Very happy and would eat there again.
Good food, mostly good value. Ready quickly despite very busy
Staff were so welcoming and helpful. The security guards were also very nice helping with directions for parking and greeting and farewelling very politely with a big smile on their face.
More parking needed. Not as up market as the web site makes it out to be. Nice decor and food was good.
Great venue great food and great company! What else can you ask for!!
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.
stunning venue, friendly staff, menu could be improved a little and have a bit more flair for the prices they charge.
Food was very good but overpriced in my view. was super cold in the dining area too.
Food was great, good atmosphere, would have preferred table service
the food was very good. A bit noisy, but OK.
The service was lovely and nice environment. Clean and quick service
Nice and quiet and great food. Nice spot for mid week lunch.
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
