    Beer menu
    Susan S.

    The best thing about this restaurant is its clever name. It aspires to be an English/Scottish pub, but it falls short in the ambience department. It's pretty much like every otter gastropub I've been to. The service was tremendously slow. It took about an hour to get our drinks when there was only one other couple in the place, and then the food came probably 45 minutes after that. There was only one person working, sadly. I'm not sure if this is an oversight by management or this is customary for the restaurant. I had the $18 smashburger, which I felt was overpriced. Some friends had other things that were extremely adequate in taste, but nothing special. It evidently has a wonderful selection of bourbons, so if you like bourbon, and you're not in a hurry, you could give it a try.

    Grilled cheese, mashed potatoes, and pretzel bites
    Jackie K.

    The place was busy which was surprising given it was only like 4:30pm. I liked my grilled cheese and mashed potatoes. The mash in particular was very tasty. My mom wasn't a fan of the pretzel and sauces though. The place was cute, well decorated. I would come back.

    Dismayed by wait staff. Totally arrogant girls work here, who snub their nose at clientele. Fire 'em. You are hemorrhaging diners. Wait 'til they read this review.. It's bar food. Beers come in a collection of bric-a-brac glasses (it never matches, what's in the glass). When I ate here, the bar-brat klonked the plate down and walked off in a fit. Never even asked, if it's good. Big mistake - because that's the ONE (only - even if the food is shit, I'll say it's fine) thing I care about. Always! Ask. Me. About. The. Food. Capito?? Just a quick: "Everything okay?".. and guess what? I'll leave a 30% tip. Just 'cause you're inquisitive! Not here. Loch and Quay, has the politeness of a horse stall. Which is probably where the delinquent bar-snot should relocate.. Review: 2

    Half order of spinach artichoke dip and buffalo chicken wing dip
    Sara P.

    Visited while in Albany for a business. It was near our hotel and had good reviews so we decided to check it out, and we were glad we stopped by! The place had a fun bar vibe, with a big old wood bar. The staff was friendly. The menu had a variety of sandwiches, paninis, and other typical bar food. We wanted an appetizer and were having a hard time deciding between spinach artichoke dip and buffalo chicken wing dip, but I loved that they had an option where you could get a half order of each so we didn't have to choose! I was going back and forth but ended up choosing the chicken pesto panini and I was happy I did, it had good flavor. My husband had seen the cottage pie on the menu when looking online and had his heart set on it. He was happy at his choice, and it definitely looked hearty. I have traveled to this hotel a few times for work, and this place is in walking distance, I would definitely consider coming back again, and recommend you give it a try if in the area, especially if in the mood for pub fare!

    Great little spot to grab lunch on the road. Deli sandwiches and burgers hit the spot. Tiny place, be warned fries aren't an option! Still perfect for lunch. Gluten free bread available.

    I was in Albany for a little while, waiting for a bus to take me to NYC, so I had some time on my hands with my family to get a bite to eat. I got a bloody mary and a Caesar salad. The food was delicious, it all came quickly, the restaurant was pretty cool, and you could even see the cooks in the kitchen through the door making your food. We all had a pretty great experience and enjoyed our time there even though it was short. I would definitely recommend that anyone come here if they need somewhere to go for a quick bite, whether because they're waiting for a train, on a lunch break, or relaxing with friends/family. I can see myself coming back here if I'm ever in Albany again.

    Basic burger with Swiss and side salad
    Carrie S.

    Stopped in for lunch. The bartender Deshawn was handling the whole place very efficiently. He did the tables inside and outside as well as the bar. Quick and friendly service!! I had the basic burger with Swiss with a side salad. I'm not much of a burger person but he recommended it and it was delicious. Cooked perfectly. Fresh lettuce, tomato and onions. The pickles were really good too - a little tangy.

    Roast Beef Club Sandwich with Macaroni Salad
    Tracy D.

    This place is tiny but very quaint! Lots of alcohol too! There was one server for the whole place so it takes awhile to get your food. Otherwise, she was super friendly. The sandwiches were delicious! They were not heavy. We ordered the macaroni salad as our side and it was soooo good. I'm not a Big Mac salad fine but this was perfect. If you're not into macaroni salad, you can order a bag of chips or a salad as the side. I would come here to try the other items on the menu.

Ive been to Germany a few times and can say this is authentic. The chicken schnitzel with jager sauce is so flavorful and rich. The jager sauce is a dark brown mushroom sauce (similar to a Marsala). The name jager means huntsman. Substituted the seasonal vegetable (carrot and asparagus) for the cabbage which was so delicious. The meal is hearty and rich. The staff was wonderful. The Apple strudel was one of the best desserts I've ever had with cinnamon ice cream. I can only imagine how cozy this place is during the fall and winter. Absolutely worth the price.

    "We don't have a cocktail menu, but we can make anything you'd like."…read more That was one of the first things our server told us, and honestly, it was refreshing. These days, it feels like every bar has a cocktail menu full of creatively named drinks that require reading a list of ingredients just to figure out what you're ordering. At Governor's Tavern, if you want a gin and tonic, you simply ask for a gin and tonic. The only decision you need to make is which gin you'd like. I'm not much of a cocktail person, but I appreciate that not every place feels the need to reinvent the wheel. The place was packed at lunchtime, but we got lucky and grabbed a pair of seats across from the bar. The server who I quoted was genuinely friendly and welcoming. I ordered a Guinness, but unfortunately the keg had just kicked. She recommended the Samuel Smith chocolate stout instead and even brought me a sample before I committed to taste since I never heard of it, which was a nice touch. For food, we ordered the State Grill burger and the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich. Both were excellent, and each came with Belgian-style hand-cut fries. If you're spending the day browsing the boutiques and antique shops along Warren Street and want a drink, a good meal, and a lively mix of locals and tourists, Governor's Tavern is worth a stop.

First, your Brunch menu and food are excellent, when we finally got our food - after roughly an hour of waiting - I was instantly reminded of why Dove and Deer is great - bold flavors, excellent preparation, gorgeous plates all in a city that desperately needs it. Second, I really felt bad for the 3 people responsible for running an entire restaurant on a Sunday (two waiters and one person in the kitchen). They did their absolute best, were so kind and apologetic, but obviously completely stressed out and frazzled. Tables got up and left after waiting for someone to get back to them - and we almost did too. It's unfair to restaurant staff to put the burden of running an entire place on them. I get if someone called off and you're short staffed 1 or 2 people, but did everyone call off? Besides 3 people? Come on. You have a real opportunity to be a go to brunch destination, my advice is to staff appropriately and give it a real go or risk customers not getting to experience the greatness that is your food - and taking their dollars to someplace far more mediocre. The only reason this isn't a 2 star or 1 star review is because of how hard your staff tried, and how good your food is (when it finally shows up).
