   A bit pricey, but absolutely delicious cocktails and food! The tamales were fantastic! We dined on the patio- the setting couldn’t be more enjoyable.

    We ate here before attending a ballet at the Botanical Gardens and very much enjoyed the fresh, quality food. Also enjoyed trying a Prickly Pear margarita. If you're going for an event and want to eat here be sure and make reservations ahead of time, they're always full. We'd tried many times over the years to walk in without reservations and it's booked. I'm glad I finally got to try and will definitely go back.

    We were there for an early dinner in late May. Many menu items seemed too heavy to be featured during warmer weather in the desert. The menu could have used a seasonal review, as ribs and duck seemed too heavy. We would have appreciated more choices for interesting lighter fare. Service was lackluster but the patio -- surrounded on three sides by the beauty of the Desert Botanical Garden -- was lovely.

    Do not miss this gem inside the botanical gardens! Go to the gardens too but stop in at Gertrude's first or afterwards. The Sonoran Benedict was outstanding!

    Lovely restaurant in a wonderful location. Beautiful morning stroll around the Desert Botanical Gardens followed by a delicious brunch on the patio surrounded by bird song and desert beauty. A perfect Sunday morning.

    Great setting and ambience but the food is nothing special, especially at the prices being asked. Elote fritters were good, and our guest enjoyed the tortellini. Duck breast was tasty but overcooked. Seafood enchiladas were not worth the price, when the taqueria near our home has the same thing but much more flavorful and $20 cheaper. Same for the steak. Fine for people who have a limited palate but definitely not a "go-to" restaurant for those who enjoy fine dining.

    Excellent service, excellent food, excellent overall experience. It has been a few years since we were last at Gertrude's but I can guarantee it won't take that long to go back. The food and service were on point. We ordered the eloté corn fritters and bread for appetizers, bison short ribs, three burgers, and a tamale for our main entrees, and donuts (large) and budino pudding for dessert. Delicious! The food was quick to come out and our server was extremely friendly and pleasant! A definite gem of a restaurant!

    I love going here for the ambience of the outdoor patio and the fresh organic options. I always am pleased with the quality of the food and my favorite appetizer is the cauliflower- roasted with hot peppers. The staff are always friendly and professional too.

    Beware corn arugula salad is really a pile of arugula with a smattering of corn (not even a half of a cob) But it was good!

    All the hard edges increased the ambient noise level to the point we had great difficulty having a conversation at a 4 top table. I would not consider Gertrude's again for friends getting together to 'catch up'.

    Hostess did not seat us in at an open table. Made our party go out to the Garden where we ordered a beverage, then brought us back inside to the open table we had just walked past. . . Not sure what that was all about. Decor on some of the tables consisted of dead flowers in old wine bottles. Not a great look for a nice, classy place like Gertrude's!

    Have been here several times for brunch and have been very happy with the experience each time. Great breakfast and lunch items to choose from, well prepared and presented dishes, and great flavors. For those so inclined to enjoy an adult beverage, I highly recommend their Manhattan. Enjoy!

    The man/manager hosting was not very personable. He insisted on seating us at a table in the sun. Apparently there were broken shade umbrellas. I was surprised because they seemed unprepared for us even with a reservation made weeks ahead. Our server was wonderful and friendly and the food was delicious!

    We shared from the shareable menu--cauliflower, clams and corn soup. Portions were very generous--two dishes would have been sufficient, but glad we had three since they were so delicious.

    This spot is great for outside dining in moderate AZ weather. We ordered plates for sharing and found some were quite large, others modest, both very very tasty! Two entrees were very good, too. Our service was super, and the tab was reasonable. I recommend this spot!

    Great ambiance and convenience in this garden restaurant. From the greeting up front to the table service, the staff is welcoming, friendly and eager to help. The beet and carrot hummus appetizer was different- delicious. The Cesar salad was good, but the fried tofu add-on wasn't so much. Some of the descriptions of the offerings are a bit difficult to decipher in terms of how the flavors will marry; what they will taste like- one person in our party was not enamored with her multifaceted dish... the Lentil Bowl Chop. I would try something different next time when I return to Gertrudes at the Desert Botanical Garden.
