We were pleasantly surprised! It's been a bery long time since we last tried Gordon Biersch (Tempe location). I remember it being good, fairly standard salads and brewery fare. This was REALLY GOOD. The fried mushroom risotto is excellent. French dip sliders have onions, and are very good. Simple but I really enjoyed it. Husband had mini brat sliders and loved them. We also shared the Mahi Mahi with veggies and rice. Everything was exceptionally good.
We just shared those 3 things, as we were not starving but wanted to try a few things. Executive Chef personally came by, talked with us for a while, and was extremely nice.
Our Server was also extremely attentive and nice. He made the recommendations for us, and was very pleasant.
We will definitely be regulars when we go out (although it is very, very rare - hopefully if we get out more, we will come here). :) Chef was very kind to give us a deal. Thank you. 5 star service and food.
