Lisa Peters; Special Events Coordinator Holding down the fort for five years now, Lisa is the Inn’s front desk anchor and Special Events Coordinator extraordinaire!   There is nothing better she would love to do than plan out your party to remember!  Lisa is also a devoted mother who when not with her kids, working, or fund raising for good causes is often seen relaxing in Spaulding Steak & Ale.   Nobody is more helpful than Lisa, and nobody has more friends in town!

RobinDonovan; Restaurant & Service Manager “Outstanding!”  That’s the word our restaurant & service manager often gives when asked how she’s doing. Outstanding is also the best description of Robin and all that she does. Robin previously taught at Johnson & Wales Culinary University, owned a catering company as well as hopping fish restaurant in Rhode Island. Now, when not at the Inn, Robin may be seen darting about in her dune buggy picking berries and making a Martha Stewart life with her husband in the country. Spaulding Steak & Ale just wouldn’t be the same fun, happy, and well-run restaurant without her!

Marlo Perl; Executive Chef Executive Chef Marlo Perl is the secret ingredient responsible for everything tasty and delicious at the Inn.   A graduate of Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Academy, Marlo’s enthusiasm for everything and anything to do with cooking is inspiring.  If you are looking for something special, Marlo would love to cook it!  A well rounded Chef, she has a delicate hand with food but a firm one with the kitchen staff.  Outside of work Marlo keeps busy with music … she plays guitar, drums, piano and writes music too.  Marlo is also an animal activist and enjoys 4-wheeling her Jeep Wrangler in the woods!

Herman Ejarque; Inn Keeper Innkeeper Herman is the General Manager and the man behind the curtain, making sure that ends meet, but also loves all aspects of hospitality operations, marketing, managing entertainment and special events, you name it.  This year marks 20 years since he and Anthony started The Governor’s Inn, and Herman is proud to finally put out this new website (and promises to keep it updated!).  Herman is an avid outdoorsman, latin dance aficionado, and ‘parent’ to Cordie the Corgie.   He has also been renovating an old church in Rochester –The Castle on Charles  – so stay tuned for more excitement coming to Rochester.  A former reporter, Herman enjoys writing press releases on upcoming events at the Inn … they can always be searched for at Fosters online.  Better yet, Herman would love to get you on the email list, so don’t delay and click here to stay informed!

 

Anthony Ejarque, Innkeeper   Having been in the industry for nearly 30 years, Innkeeper Anthony is the quintessential 'jack of all hospitality trades.'  Event management, cooking, bartending, carpentry, overseeeing renovation and maintenance of the historic Governor's Inn properties, coming up with new ideas and producing award-winning entertainment, - Anthony does it all.  He may be hard to pin down, but that's because he's also the 'Producing Director' of the Rochester Opera House, an aspiring film actor and theatrical director, and as of late he is the parent of 3-year old Anabella (and his dog, the friendly and great Pyrenean yellow lab Buck).   It’s also rumored he has connections with Fat Tony’s Italian Restaurant in downtown Rochester.
