    We probably have dinner here 2 - 3 times a year, when we visit the Garden, the food is great, most times, usually our waiter/ waitress/ server is friendly, this time not so much, but didn't stop us from enjoying our dinner. We will return.

    Gertrudes remains a favorite location with an unmatched setting at the Desert Botanical Garden, particularly with tables on the patio. The food is consistently delicious, and features local ingredients. The menu is well labeled for food sensitivities and allergies, and the kitchen is readily willing to make adjustments as needed (with one item noted as not being possibly veg). I appreciate the expanding selection of Arizona wines to highlight the happily maturing industry in the state. Service is friendly, even at their busiest times.

    Gertrude’s had a nice menu. We sat outside in the patio and thankful we did as it was really noisy inside. Waitress was as attentive and helpful with recommendations. We shared the elote fritters to start. They were tasty. Two people ordered the Gertrude burger and it was very good. One ordered the lentil chop bowl with a side of shrimp that was tasty. We also had an order of the lamb enchiladas which I would not recommend. The mole sauce was over powering and there wasn’t much lamb.

    Excellent late lunch. The root vegetable and dried fruit salad was a huge serving, but so light and tasty.

    There's something decidedly civilized about dining al fresco in December when the rest of the country shivers through winter's early descent. Gertrude's at the Desert Botanical Garden understands this privilege, and on a balmy 80-degree afternoon, they orchestrated a lunch service that would make even the most jaded restaurateur take notice. The true mark of excellence in service isn't in the grand gestures, but in the subtle dance of anticipation and delivery. Bryce, our server, demonstrated this art with remarkable finesse – present when needed, invisible when not, maintaining that delicate balance that separates the professionals from the merely competent. The menu, while firmly rooted in southwestern sensibilities, shows flashes of innovation that catch one's attention. Their hummus duo – a roasted red chili version paired with pipian verde – arrives with an array of pristine raw vegetables and house-made tortilla chips that crack with satisfying precision. It's the kind of dish that makes you wonder why more restaurants don't take such care with seemingly simple preparations. The chicken posole, while generous in portion, needed a bolder hand with seasoning – a rare misstep in an otherwise carefully considered meal. However, the gertie burger more than compensated: eight ounces of quality Angus beef, properly handled and cooked, topped with sharp cheddar and caramelized onions that had been given the time to develop their full potential. The black pepper-ranch aioli showed restraint and judgment, while the accompanying fingerling potatoes arrived with the kind of crisp exterior that speaks of proper technique and attention to detail. The draft Irish Red Ales proved an inspired choice for the season – refreshing enough for the desert air while carrying the weight and complexity appropriate for the holiday season. It's this kind of thoughtful curation that elevates a good restaurant to an excellent one.
