Governor Bradford Restaurant

Went unnoticed at the bar for about five minutes before we tried walking around to attract the attention of a server who could, hopefully, seat us and get us started on something... But even that was too much to ask for and we had to flag down the hostess (when there are three open entrances to the restaurant) in order to get a seat.

That experience, alone, would drop down the review a star or two, but things were only getting started.

I had come with high hopes for the Yankee pot roast featured prominently on its menu for ~$18, but was instead told that it was not available and was upsold to the $30 New York strip.

The food arrived fairly quickly and was not bad by any means, but it was not a $30 steak based on the many steakcursions I have been on; it paired well with the potatoes and butter though.

My girlfriend was similarly unimpressed with the creme brulee. One of her least favorite of the many cremes we have ordered: it was shallow with the creme and on top of all that we were not given, nor offered, water.

The $70+ bill (including tip) seemed to be exorbitant for the food quality of food and service and based on what others have experienced here, I’d have to agree that this is a systemic issue.

For such a great location and setting, the service and attention to satisfaction sure was shameful.
