You might think going to Washington's new Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant for a meal would be like visiting a seafood restaurant and ordering a cheeseburger.
A seafood place may have burgers on the menu, but if you don't order the crab cake or shrimp, you're missing the house specialty.
If you assume a similar dynamic is at work at Gordon Biersch - after all, this place does put "brewery" before "restaurant" in its name - you would be wrong.
The food at Gordon Biersch is quite good for a chain that has earned a reputation for its microbrews. Still, the lunch we had there last week left us craving better service.
