Review The Governor Seafood & Oyster Bar - New Orleans

Jessica A
Love the atmosphere here. It wasn’t super crowded even though it’s in the French quarter. Food was pretty good but I will go back from dinner instead of brunch. The bottomless mimosas are only 12$ which is cheap. The service was great! And the balcony seating was a great touch for a beautiful day.

The waitress Trevor WAS THE BEST! Best server ever, funny, polite, and expeditious!! The food here is amazing! Every little thing tasted immaculate! Phenomenal!!

DELICIOUS food, great prices, and tucked away in a quieter part of downtown. Venture away from Bourbon street to this gem. Our server, Deja Vu, was one of the kindest, most attentive waiters I've experienced in years. Definitely recommended.

Great place, really enjoyed the atmosphere and friendly staff. They did a great job making you feel welcome. I ordered the seafood omelet, which was the very best in New Orleans. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Our family's favorite restaurant in the French Quarter! Everything here is amazing! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks all are so good! We will definitely be back often.

The food was really good and flavorful! Pleasant atmosphere and very fast service. Perfect for anyone in a hurry. Would definitely go again.

You won't leave hungry! Awesome breakfast. Had The Governer's Breakfast with the jambalaya and andouille sausage. It was amazing. Nancy was a wonderfully fun and sweet server! Liked this place so much that we came back for a second time on our trip.

Great food and cold drinks in the shade with a light breeze. Our server was fantastic and gave my wife a recommendation for something she would never have ordered otherwise, it was a hit.

So impressed! My husband and I went for brunch this weekend and really enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service. Our server was so friendly and attentive. We went around 3pm so I think we just missed the rush. We started with the boudin balls and crab cakes, both very good. They weren’t skimpy with the seafood in the crab cakes. My husband got a salad which I think he enjoyed but mentioned that the shrimp were VERY salty. I tried the Brie with garlic and raw oysters, both great! The bottomless mimosas had a ton of OJ which ended up upsetting my stomach a bit so I could only have 2. We’ll definitely be back though.

We were in town Thursday for a show, it was late and we were famished. Stopped in for two dozen oysters and some cold draft beer. The oysters we had were great, cold and salty. Definitely got a great deal. Our bartender was quick and courteous, couldn't have been a nicer fellow.

Amazing food and service tonight! From the redfish to the cocktails, this place offered up one of the best meals I’ve had NOLA. Keep up the great work Sunshine and team! Highly recommend!

The cucumber raw oyster is sooooo good! Better than what we had yesterday in some oyster bar. This is a new restaurant but I strongly recommend the omelette and raw oysters!

Yums! I didn’t do my homework before visiting NOLA & completely stubbled into The Governor. Apparently, I stubbled well because it was the best meal I had while there. I had pasta. I rarely eat pasta because they don’t it for me. But I’m happy the ingredients struck a cord. Very delicious! The flavors come together in your mouth like a pleasant surprise. The staff was friendly and they have plenty of room with upstairs seating. I have no plans of visiting NOLA again but if I do, definitely on the list. Oh, and lovely wine.

Decent breakfast for a decent price and not jam packed like Fleur-de-Lis next door. More relaxed. Nothing fancy. My over easy eggs were a bit runny. Otherwise all else was good.

Great food! Awesome people! Came here twice during my 4 day New Orleans visit. The manager was super sweet and talked with us the whole time we were there, definitely needed that hearty food before the bar crawl. The second time I came in alone and had a great conversation with the bartender, Kenna. She was super cool and interesting to talk to. This place has got it all going on. This is on my list of places to come back to in New Orleans. The Jambalaya and Pasta NOLA are both great and pair well with a Hurricane or two. Enjoy!

Our group from out of town had a private party on the second floor and we pretty much unanimously agreed that the Shrimp Clemenceau (grits + a lot of other textures) and Blasted Brussel Sprouts were our faves! The Blackened Shrimp Caesar Salad and Pasta Nola were not very special.

I absolutely recommend this place ifyou LOVE baked oysters!!! Plus , you can eat on the balcony level, which was perfect for our last day here in New Orleans.

Got to get a taste of everything I wanted to for a short trip to NOLA. Welcoming staff. Oysters weren't super special, but not bad.
Sharon Redmond
This place was delicious from the drinks to the appetizers on down to dessert! We had deviled eggs, Brussel sprouts, bacon horseradish oysters, fish fingers, fried artichokes, red beans and rice with fried chicken and sausage, brownie, and sweet potato pie! Not one single thing sucked! Drinks were also great and the service was great to boot. Will definitely be back.

I've been to the Governor for breakfast -- twice, because the first day was so good I had to try something else on the menu. I loved both meals and the service was great (Michelle day 1, Dominique day 2). The balcony upstairs is delightful.
Lisa Dugal
My husband and I dropped in this morning for breakfast. Loved everything!!! Damn good coffee. Delicious food. Excellent service by our waitress, Indigo. Super friendly. Laid back environment.
Angie Davis
Red beans and rice with fried chicken strips? Yes and yum!!! Locals and will be back for sure.
Lauren Travers
Very friendly staff, excellent food and service in a nice clean atmosphere. Really enjoyed our visit here.
Lauren Koenig
The food was delicious and the service was very friendly! I will definitely go back next time I’m in Nola.
Raymond Harris
We ate breakfast there 3 mornings, food is great and the staff was friendly and made you feel right at home!! CeCe, ‘Ms do everything’ is awesome, she’ll take care of you if you’re lucky to get a seat at the bar and she’s working!!! Tell her Paula & Raymond from DC sent you!!!
