Update: 5 Seasons Brewing

5Seasons Brewing

The last 3 times I went to 5SB, I had the burger. Each time, I was sorely disappointed. And to think they have used to have one of the top 10 best burgers in Atlanta. Each and every time, my medium burger gets delivered well-done. Each and every time. I’ve had it taken back a couple of times and the best they could do is medium-well. Still not acceptable. The last time I went was this past Saturday. Again, I ordered medium and it came back very well-done. Dry and bland. I give up. So I’m crossing off 5SB on my best burger list. /End rant.

P.S. The Wild Mushroom Pizza and Calamari were both fabulous.

Gordon Biersch

June 2nd, 2008 · 2 Comments

Had lunch with my best friend over at Gordon Biersch in Midtown today. It was my first time and I was really impressed with the decor and ambiance.

I loved the high ceilings and the upper mezzanine where they have a private banquet room, a billiard room, and a bar. Lots of warm wood contrasted with cold steel with light colored walls to balance it all. I really like it. Sadly, no amount of ambiance or decor can salvage the disappointment I had with my food.

I asked our server how the Meatloaf Sandwich was and he said it was, “really, really good”. It was also the lunch special so I went ahead with it. What came before me was two unappealing, very-dry looking squares of grilled meat on a bed of shredded lettuce and a slice of tomato in a big dried-out bun. All I can say is that the taste was as bad as it looked — bland, bland, bland — and no amount of ketchup can save this sandwich.

Okay, so I probably ordered wrong because my friend’s Chicken Caesar pizza was quite tasty. It had chunks of tender chicken, crisp lettuce, and gooey cheese; and the crust was chewy and doughy. It was also big for a lunch portion, although, my friend, being a guy, had no trouble finishing it. Overall, it was flavorful and I wouldn’t mind ordering it next time.

Verdict

I wouldn’t mind coming back to try a few other things from their extensive menu. The problem with micro breweries is that they usually would rather let their food take a back seat to their brews.

Insider tip:
Attentive service but the kitchen is very slow. Valet and self parking available. Located on Peachtree and 6th.
