A work neighbor/friend, who I knew is also fan of the great food selection at Gordon Biersch, decided to try Tysons Gordon Biersch restaurant at my recommendation. Our food was amazingly good - my friend ordered a salad entree and we shared GB's Ahi Tuna Nachos appetizer, which we thought was a brilliant concept! For my main dish, I ordered their Blackened Salmon Sandwich with fries, which was quite delicious. What ruined the dining experience for us was our rather stoic, rushed and rude server. We read many online reviews before making our reservation and the recent ones in particular did not look too good... However, we were still hopeful that our dining experience might be better - unfortunately it wasn't. On top of a rather unimpressive overall service, our server also ended up mixing up our credit card slips to sign, which was pretty consistent with his lack of care.
We are still motivated by the quality of GB's food selection to go back, but probably will not be rushing to return there anytime soon - many restaurants in Tysons have raised the service bar quite high and so are our expectations. I still recommend this place for all the foodies out there that like a contemporary German-American dining.
