Governors House Wine Bar & Italian Kitchen

I have Celiac and contacted the restaurant regarding a gluten free menu. They responded within the hour with their gluten free options. When I arrived, they had the gluten free menu available on the table. I was very impressed. David, our waiter, was great and very accommodating to my needs. Dinner was delicious!!!!

My husband and I visited here with another couple; we were really looking forward to eating here because we previously tried to eat here but didn’t have a reservation and were turned away. We had a 6:00 reservation and were seated immediately in the upstairs room. This was a bit of a disappointment because the upstairs did not have the same atmosphere as the main dining area we walked past; it was very dull and honestly felt like we were visiting an assisted living facility. We shared the burrata salad and the ravioli duo. 3 of us took a few bites of the salad but no one wanted any more- the vinaigrette did not have much flavor and the fruit/veg that were on there just fell flat. The ravioli both came out lukewarm; the wagyu/truffle tasted ok but the goat cheese ravioli needed salt/seasoning. I ordered the salmon; this might have been the most disappointing entree I’ve ever had. The salmon itself was way overcooked and the lemon beurre blanc was SO sweet. I was expecting a nice and creamy, well seasoned beurre blanc sauce but what I got tasted like melted lemon starbursts. On top of that, it came out warm at best. My husband got the filet but since he can’t have gluten or dairy he asked to sub the fingerling potatoes, or any veg that doesn’t have gluten/dairy. What he ended up with was the filet with 5 pieces of asparagus. The filet was cooked to a perfect medium rare but to not have a starch or something besides 5 asparagus felt steep for $38, especially because he left hungry. Our friends both got the short ribs. This was honestly the highlight of the meal and really left me wishing I had ordered that instead. We also got the tiramisu to go; it was not appealing looking in a to-go container and was very soggy; Unfortunately it tasted as good as it looked. We all got drinks which were ok. Service was just ok. Overall, we survived but after spending over $300 between the 4 of us, we all decided we wouldn’t be back.
