The Governor Hotel

Very friendly staff, outstanding service. The food was great, pizzas were amazing. Excellent music too. Will definitely return. There is limited parking so go early.

My first visit to the Governor, and I look forward to becoming a regular. Food was great, the prices are reasonable, atmosphere pleasant and relaxed and the staff helpful and courteous. Only downside is the lack of parking, so best to leave the car behind and get the courtesy bus.

Great food and service. Curtesy bus service was excellent, will be returning again

Nice setting, delicious food (with lots of gluten free options) and great drinks. So happy to have this place down the road from my work!

Great food (decent serving sizes) and atmosphere. Staff are really lovely to deal with and my group had a wonderful dinner thanks to the team at The Gov.

The Governor is excellent for group bookings. It is popular however, so to avoid missing out on getting a spot if you have a large group - book early!!

Always such fantastic food and atmosphere! In an area that lacks variety of places to eat (especially for work lunches), The Governor came at just the right time!

Bit pricey Don't like that you have to pay a surcharge just for paying with your card regardless if you're paying savings or credit Rooftop Bar should be open later than the downstairs bar 10.45pm is very early on a saturday night

Nice atmosphere and good service. I had a steak last time which was good.This time crispy skin pork, but personally preferred the beef steak. Cheese burger from kids menu was good (just patty and cheese), for my picky son who doesn't like greens...

We took our family there for dinner, and they were really impressed with the variety of drinks and food. They will definitely be back to try other delicious meals.

Good restaurant food with a buzzing environment and modern decor. It’s somewhat let down by inadequate parking arrangements that make it stressful before you even enter the premises.

Great food and service, love the roof top bar. Love the options of different rooms or types of service & food on offer. Have been there twice in Dec alone.

The staff are very accommodating and the food is lovely. Recommend more locals check it out. Asahi black on tap worth a try with the steak!

They had good service, friendly staffs and nice craft beers. My favorite dishes were pork belly roast and steak salad. Steak was cooked to perfection.

The décor was modern and interesting , the staff friendly and helpful and food very good. Easy parking .Not too busy considering it was a Friday night - will be back.

Food and service were excellent and the staff friendly with smiles on their faces. Restaurant section very clean and comfortable - table were not small so you didn't feel cramped. Air con was just the right temperature.

We got seated in a booth, it was great to have our own little area to catch up and enjoy dinner. The food was great! So much to choose from and it was all delicious. The bartenders were very knowledgeable and a great help to decide what to drink.

Just what Macquarie Park needs, great food, friendly staff and awesome drinks in a nice environment. We will be back again soon to sample more delights

Great place, awesome food and a wide selection of drinks, I really rate this place and so good to have a gem like this in North ryde!

Food and atmosphere were great but lack of parking was the big problem and would make me think twice before booking a function there again.

Food always good and even though it was very busy, food was ready in record time. Staff are very friendly and place is always clean

We booked late but were accommodated, there was a good atmosphere, and the food & beverage were top notch. We have been to the Gov several times now and always found the food & service to be excellent.

The food was good, service had improved since previous visit in October. But very noisy.

Great food, great service. Been here a few times now and always come back. Well worth a look if you haven’t been here yet 👍

The food is very good but the staff were hovering waiting to whisk the plates away too quickly. I’d definitely recommend it and look forward to going back again 😃

As it was close to Christmas and sure to be busy, I booked 2 weeks in advance for 6 people in the Bistro. When we arrived we were told "there were a lot of functions" so we would be on stools in the bar. We would have left but eventually a table in the Bistro was found for us. Our food was good but several tables near us were actually unoccupied all night !!!

Not great at all. The Governor doesn't know what it wants to be... upmarket RSL club perhaps?. A cross between trying to be a bar and a club. Lots of money spent on lovely interiors, but that interior restaurant with no outlook is a noisy box. Was extremely disappointed to find it was a order at the bar get a buzzer experience. The food was very average for prices that were in excess of the quality that was delivered. The prawn meat in the gnocchi was barely cooked. We were hopeful the Nth Shore could deliver a good local...not so and we won't be going back. BTW - my 24yr old and 22 yr old said they wouldn't go there with their friends either. No atmosphere.

Great cocktails and open through out the day! would come back to try the food!

Parking extremely limited even though it was a Monday night. Decor nice but you have to line up at bar and wait for bartenders to finish mixing drinks for your restaurant booking, and then get referred to another person who takes you to table. No table service for drinks or meals...so you even have to collect your own food. At these prices they should be delivered to table. Wagyu beef ragu pappardelle tasteless and tad dry though beef was tender. Vegetarian pizza no herbs so again flavorless. There were 6 in our group but none of us would return based on this first time experience. Staff don't engage with you and no one bothered to enquire how our food was.

My first Visit to the Governor and I was very impressed. The large trendy atmosphere, I love the booths, all adds up in addition to delicious pub food and drinks. I highly recommend a visit for friends or work. 👍🏼

The service Was very disappointing. No table service and not enough employees. They can do much better. The food was good though. Hope that this can be improved in the future.

We arrived for a family pre Xmas dinner. NO BLIMMIN PARKING AVAILABLE. Food, drinks, staff all amazing but NO PARKING! Probably need to address this huge problem or people won't come back!

We had a great night. Very busy for a Tuesday night. Glad we booked a table. Got served fast. Food was yummy. Made for a great night out

Great service,Friendly staff, Amazing food & Great atmosphere. the pizza are super hot ans super delicious. the best place to catch up with old friends.

I took my overseas executives to the Governor for dinner and drinks and they all commented on how delicious the food was. Thanks The Gov!

Great atmosphere, would be great to develop the outside area further to allow lunch setups in hot days. Service was good, and all guests were served at the same time.

Food was great didn’t realise no table service. Sat outside which was great on a hot day not a lot of outdoor seating so could get very busy.

Very good location, convenient from all of my friends at work to hang out after work, cannot go wrong on any food we order , perfect room for a group of people and upstairs the open space for everyone is fantastic, highly recommended to all workmates ( staff very professional and friendly)

The calamari was very tender and a great salt & pepper coating. The steak was great and cooked as requested. . The Poke salad had little too much dressing.

Nice bar and restaurant area. Service and staff are all great. Food was fresh and plentiful. Had the green bowl with sashimi which was fresh and a good serving size. Others had pizza which was also good. The panna cotta and fried apple pie dessert was also very good. There is also a very nice rooftop bar opened in the evening with great views.
