A word from Governors Dining Room

From the moment you step into the elegant Georgian Downs Clubhouse, you will be warmly greeted by our hostess and ushered to the table, that is yours for the evening. Our glass enclosed clubhouse is the ultimate party room. This restaurant overlooks the finish line. The view of racing is… spectacular. Every table features its own closed-circuit colour monitor so you can zoom in on all the action from Georgian Downs or simulcast partners. Wine, dine, bet and win from an incredible vantage point that puts you right on top of racing. We offer a buffet style menu selection and service that will bring you back again and again. For parties of 13 and over, please contact the restaurant for assistance if you require main level seating for mobility requrements.Continued

"We found this to be a very compatible combination of food and entertainment. Racing venue,
buffet with excellent choices and some 'slots' fun afterward made for an evening well chosen. Our guests were delighted and have indicated a return in the near future would be
welcomed."

"Our experience was disappointing! We used to go to the Governors Dining Room regularly, but hadn't been back in over a year. For New Years Eve we expected a better variety of dishes, perhaps more choice at the carving station, but still recieved the same boring food. Which wasn't worth the price charged. Our waitress was extremely slow and miserable, taking over 30 minutes to get our first beverage and acted like we made her miss her New Years Eve date. We won't be back."

"The service was very slow at the beginning of the night but could partially be understood given how busy the restaurant was. Still it took at least 10 minutes to get our first drink orders in which shouldn't happen. The food was reasonable to good, pasta bar was excellent and the desserts were excellent. Seafood bar was average and from what I was told the roast beef was good. The room temperature varied dramatically and at several points during the night some people had to put their coats on as it got so cold. Overall the atmosphere was great and the access to food and washrooms as well as the space around the tables was excellent. Our server made up for the earlier miscues during the evening and at the end of the night was great."
