This was my husband and iâs first trip to Arizona and we went here for dinner on a Saturday night. I made reservations the day before with no issues and we were seated right away even though we were early. This seemed like it was in a neighborhood around ASU with more casual restaurants and bars and this was a nice and contemporary Italian restaurant which seemed a little more upscale but was still relexed. I had a delicious build your own pizza and he did a build your own calzone. Our waitress was very nice and we were behind a large party in terms of food prep order so the chef gave us a tiramisu on the house which was really kind of him. The prices were good for the quality and portions and I would recommend if you want a nice dinner in the area (they also had pastas and bruschetta dishes).

Gordon Biersch offers eclectic American food with a twist. Our on-site chef creates unexpectedly good food, crafted to complement the nuanced flavors of our beer. Gordon Biersch beer is made with German precision brewing that meets American craft. We brew

Nice location for this chain. Our party generally had a good experience and enjoyed their meals, but one had a unsatisfactory salad. (Shrimp had gone bad, with a jelly like consistency despite having been cooked ok). Management did all they could -- replaced the meal with an alternate selection, comped the meal, and got rid of the rest of that bag of shrimp -- but ideally the problem would have been caught in the kitchen. We'll go back, and management did all we could expect, but it wasn't a great experience.

Great little place. Nice selection of craft beer on tap, along with a small selection of bottles. Decent pub food, quick service, friendly staff. Liked it so much I went back twice more during the week.Will definitely return on my next trip to Phoenix.
