                                                          Food was mediocre at best. Clam chowder was watery and had a weird taste… Salmon was overcooked.. the sandwiches had elaborate descriptions on the menu but were basic hamburger and grilled cheese. Price points for what was served as very high. The issue that really upset us was the up-charges on a martini… two $3.00 up charges which were not disclosed or explained when asked. However the wait staff was excellent and the atmosphere was good.

                                                          Great food, friendly service, they easily accommodated a large party and there was a separate kids menu which was “the best ever”. Will definitely be going back.

                                                          Had a great dinner and night at Governor Bradford this past Saturday. Great food but even better service. Fun atmosphere, eclectic menu and great beer list. A definite go to when in Provincetown. A big shout out to Jackie, she's the frikkin best!
