Gordon Biersch

This past Wednesday the 10th of March, I had celebrated my 21st year of sobriety at none other than a Pub of all places.  Gordon Biersch is somewhat new to the Annapolis MD. Located in the Annapolis Towncenter and touted as a Fresh from scratch (as they claim on their website) pub style dining experience, very little that I can see and tase is authentic. In fact 2 stars on this review is just being nice.

That is at least on the food end.
My Steak Frittes dish was made with a poorly marinated flank steak that was supposed to be cooked medium rare and was at best almost raw.  Not terribly flavorful and kind of stringy. The "Frittes"  were of a frozen brand of fry, probably a Lamb wesson product, that were not at all straw thin, just basically a poorly cooked flank steak tossed on top of some pre fab burger fries.  Uhh, yeah.

As for my partner and wonderful wife, whom by the way was the one thing that  made this whole experience a non issue, she got what I felt was again a frozen burger (although it was a thick one) it was too overcooked and at best almost cardboard like in texture.  
The service towards the end of the meal simply fell off the map. Our waiter forgot us for about 20 or more minutes due to being seated with several 4 tops at the same time. So all of the rest of his customers suffered because the hostess poorly loaded him up. 
The desserts we had were a trio of shot glass stuffed desserts (that are 

popular these days) of an apple pie type of dessert, a chocolate mousse, and chocolate chocolate cake type, all stuffed into some shot glasses and clearly by their flavor had sat in a refrigerator with other items for at least 24 hours or more. In other words, not prepared that day. 

All in all, nothing to brag about at all.  This whole meal in fact was absolutely inconsequential because of my company. Had it not had been for my wife, this would have been a terrible experience. 
It pays to have a great dinner date, cause that was what saved the waiters excellent tip, and Gordon Biersch for me this past Wednesday.
The place has had several months to work out kinks so no excuses to give here. 
I doubt we'll be back soon.
