Was at Gordon Biersch Friday night and ordered Steak Frites med rare. The waiter said that i get one side item with my meal. I ordered something green, asparagus i think. When my meal arrives, I have A piece of steak and the green stuff on my plate. No Fries. I asked him where are my fries. He says you get one side and you ordered asparagus. I asked him if he knew what steak frites meant and he said yes and told me that fries are extra if i want to have fries. We were all amazed that he couldnt comprehend what was going on. Instead of making an issue, i just ordered the fries and sent back the well done piece of charred meat they sent me.

Don't get steak frites from Gordon birsch?

You could've went to Luke just up the road and prolly got one for around the same price...

In his defense, you do realize how many people out there would order Steak Frites and get something else besides fries?

At first I was going to ask you what the hell the waiter was supposed to do about their odd policy but after reading the menu, it looks like fries come with it and maybe he just got confused because when he rings it in, the POS gives him an option to enter the side (fries).

Or, he doesn't know what frites are.

7 Oz. Cab Sirloin Steak Frites^

Paired with our legendary garlic fries. Top with a classic chef sauce: mushroom beer, red wine reduction, gorgonzola garlic or béarnaise.




Regardless, I agree with the Luke suggestion. Better restaurant, not far, and good fries too.

or to restate my post, he is tired of trying to explain to people that Steak Frites means steak and fries, and they say "but I don't want fries."

I am certainly not discounting the possibility of cluelessness or more likely, apathy.

Let's just say that I take the stories people have here about service with a grain of salt.
