   I visited Gertrude Place for the 3rd time with my partner and our baby, and while the food was amazing each time, the overall experience left a sour taste. When we arrived yesterday without a reservation, we were told nothing was available—even though we saw reserved empty sections (the 4×4 tables and a mix of 2×2 seats). My partner insisted we give it a try, so I quickly booked a table through the app for 11:15. Inside, only three staff members were working at the bar: one was busy making cafés/drinks, another was running around seating people, cleaning tables, and delivering food, and the last was handling orders and payments. This small team struggled to keep up. We experienced a delay in having our order taken, and with a baby in tow, we found it tough to maneuver—the baby chair had to be moved several times just to let the staff pass. The food was top-notch—clean, simple, tasty, and beautifully presented. However, the disorganized service and lack of a welcoming vibe really stood out. Despite the excellent cuisine and the hardworking staff doing their best, I left with a feeling of sadness and an overall sense of not being welcomed. Plus, while the place is pet-friendly (dogs are allowed, even if a bit of fur is always around), the entire experience just wasn’t smooth enough. In short, despite the fantastic food, the reservation hassle and understaffed, chaotic service mean I won’t be returning.

   Tasty food and great coffee but I felt they were under staffed and the service was friendly but very slow.

    It’s our regular and historically one of the standout's apart from the good food, and easy access has been the excellent staff. It is a busy place so the attentive and quick service has always been a big plus. Today we sat beside tables which were unbussed, and the three poor souls trying to do the work of four were run off their feet. Clearly understaffed and that’s seriously disappointing relative to the standard we’ve become accustomed to. Will be watching closely next time.
