Gertrude's - Phoenix

We are visiting Phoenix and decided to go to Gertrudes as our last night dinner to celebrate my husband’s birthday and our wonderful time in Phoenix. Fred was our waiter and every recommendation he made was stellar. From choice of wine to the selection of food when we were torn between two choices. Our experience here was absolutely wonderful and we will look forward to dining here again next time we are in Phoenix.

Very good service food was excellent ambiance was what you expect at the arboretum

We love the setting and the interesting menu!

The food was fantastic. I would highly recommend the cauliflower and the boar stew.

I invited my 17-year-old granddaughter to an outing at the Garden. We were interested in the current exhibit: Wind, Water, Earth. Gertrude's convenient location and the menu prompted me to reserve a table and have brunch before we wandered thru the garden.
First, no wait upon arrival. We were seated on the patio, on a table near the edge, which I recommend, since you can watch the birds in the bushes nearby. The hot tea selection is outstanding, the menu listed multiple vegetarian options and so many other delicious foods. I choose the Farmer's soup and salad, McKenzie the Sonoran benedict, vegetarian style. Our waiter Zachary was great, he took good care of us. We finished with a sweet treat, Ricotta mini donuts with dipping sauce. Don't skip this restaurant while visiting the garden!

We've tried several entrees and they just havent been very tasty.

Outstanding meal and excellent service. Gertrude's is always a favorite on our list. The menu offers a wide range of choices, beautifully presented and prepared with care.

Gertrude's is always a welcome stop when we are visiting the DBG.

Great place to dine after a lovely stroll through the Garden. My server did a great job and the food was very good as always

The food was great, prices reasonable, service wonderful, what more could you want.

Love the atmosphere! Food is very well presented and flavorful. Great margaritas! Loved that I was able to bring my service dog with ❤️ Perfect lunch 😊

Very nice setting and great food and service as always

Outstanding hidden gem in Phoenix at the Desert Botanical Garden. Nature, desert beauty and fabulous food combine for a wonderful outdoor dining experience. And the Drink menu is creative and delicious!

for a truly OUTSTANDING & MEMORABLE outdoor dining experience in the desert you will NOT find a more PLEASURABLE FINE DINING EXPERIENCE than Gertrudes! WARM FRIENDLY SERVICE from Timothy was the ICING on the CAKE!!!

This is now our New Favorite Restaurant. The food is so good, and we are vegans and vegetarians..so hard to find good plates in this category. Thank you for picking the best table ever outside for our 50th Wedding Anniversary...and they even had a Happy Anniversary card at our table..this meant so much to us! Bert was our server and he was Amazing. Yes, our new favorite place! Thank you for making our evening special!

We wanted a place where we could get desserts and drinks. Their drink menu is substantial and the bartenders do an excellent job. The dessert menu included several outstanding choices, and we easily found something that appealed to each of us. The ambiance is comfortable and relaxing. We have also been to Gertrude's for breakfast and dinner, and the experience has been excellent each time.

We were there with a group of 4, and everyone loved their meals. For me the standout was the cauliflower appetizer and the crab dip.
Also, excellent service, and our waiter steered us in the right direction.
Lovely way to cap a visit to the Desert Botanical Garden.
Must reserve your table in advance.

Good service and prompt attention as needed. Spacing well done since still Covid lurking

My wife and I enjoyed our luncheon. We had excellent service and the food was great.

Enjoyed visit to Gertrude’s. Service was excellent, great menu, inviting patio seating. Will go again.

My cousin from Illinois and I had a wonderful lunch on the sunny patio of Gertrude's! The food was delicious. David, our server, did an excellent job of taking care of us, too! Oh, yes, we loved the Bloody Mary's as well as our lunch choices!

The host was very friendly and welcoming! Came here for our anniversary and from start to finish I can honestly say was the best service! Food was delicious, will definitely be coming here again!

Great service from reservations through the final course. Very responsive to every question and request. Anticipated needs and delivered. A beautiful adjuct to the Boatanical Gardens.

We had a fine dinner. The entrees were creative and tasty. We had a hard time deciding what to order. There is something for everyone. We enjoyed the outdoor dining space and saw several parties, it would be a good choice for gatherings.

Our party of four really enjoyed the patio for pandemic dining. Great service and the setting is hard to beat. A tad on the pricey side for me, but well worth it.

Relaxing patio, excellent food (we had the bacon cheeseburger and the smoked salmon salad), etc. We go here every time we're in Scottsdale.

When I snd my family arrived, our table was set up with a little table sign announcing my special day ( celebrating my 77th) and a birthday card addressed to me snd signed by the staff.
The food was great, the covered patio lovely, and the service very good. A very nice way to top off our visit to the Desert Botanical Gardens.

We love to go to Gertrudes as a destination in and of itself

Three adults with food sensitivities had lots delicious choices and the two kids were provided with coloring activities and food they loved!

Great again! My in laws came into town , so we took them for brunch.... food was good, staff was fantastic !

Waiter forgot to put our order in so we had to wait but that really did not matter as the patio was wonderful. Food was delicious. I want to know where you get the breakfast sausage from - best ever!

Great staff!

Not rushing back, nothing special, the 4 of us felt no flavor in food. Ok if at zoo and don't want burgers.

Relaxed setting in the beautiful Desert Botanical Gardens. Menu selection is excellent, unique, and very good! Love Gertrude's for a special night out.

We miss the water fountain and flowers in center of patio. Not nearly as nice an atmosphere. Being Gertrudes is in the botanical garden, it should be more interesting

Our go to place for brunch! Beautiful setting, terrific service, menu just right. This place does everything well!

Excellent food, nicely served. Ate outdoors in the patio - very pleasant.

We started with the Elote fritters (corn fritters). Excellent! flavorful, tender and not greasy. Mushroom Risotto was great, which my husband had with the Branzino (Fish) on the side. It was a bit salty but cooked perfectly. I had the braised beef. Also very good with plenty of veggies. However, I thought the brussel sprouts were a bit under done. I like them still crunchy but these were almost O'Natural (raw).
Our cocktails were nicely made and flavorful. The wine was a good pour. They have a nice selection. The service was very attentive and the timing/delivery was perfect. The environment is lovely and relaxing. We sat outside and the Arizona weather was perfect!
This was a special occasion (our belated Valentine's Dinner) as we also attended the Music in the Garden. We couldn't afford to do this every week but it is on our top 10 list for a special occasion.

We had a great dinner before a concert at the Phoenix zoo nearby. The table was ready for our reservation and we were seated near a heater - it was a chilly night. The food was excellent and desert was delicious. I’d plan to eat here when I go to the botanical garden, or before another concert at the zoo.

Very Covid friendly restaurant...we sat outside right next to the desert and temperature was just right. Best crab/kale cheese dip ever!😁
