    I had a good Ceasars salad and my friend had an enchilada with corn and beans. She loved hers and I really liked mine. Our waitress was excellent and the ambiance was very nice. Not loud Gertrude’s is ending their contract with the Garden on 5/31/25

    Great special gem. Really going to miss it. We went there for our son’s 21st birthday. Took him today before they close and he is now 29.

    Beautiful views of the garden, delicious food, and attentive service made for an enjoyable prequel to our evening in the garden for Ballet Arizona. So sad this lovely restaurant is closing at the end of the month - we have loved coming here.

    The restaurant's location at the Botanical Gardens is great. And my server was awesome. But the food (for the price) is just ok. It's a tired menu that needs updating. And the wine selection is poor. I paid $13 for a glass of wine that should have been $8. And if I wanted a better quality wine there is none available on the menu.

    Fsrm to table with southwestern flair, we enjoyed salads, lamb mole enchiladas and peach cobbler dessert. We don't drink st lunch but cocktails menu was enticing. Annie, the hostess, was able to accommodate our outdoor seating request after a short wait. The waitress was able to give helpful descriptions and recommendations. Salads were great value but entrees a little high. Overall, this beautiful locale and food was a hit with all 5 of us.

    Gertrude's: Disappointment Under the Desert Sun Our long-awaited visit to Gertrude's as Phoenix natives was a regrettable experience. While the gift shop offered cool, bug-free relief, the restaurant was stiflingly hot and plagued by flies – utterly unappetizing. The cafeteria-like ambiance and the open door amplifying the heat did nothing to improve things. The "farm-to-table" aspirations fell flat. Beyond a decent cauliflower and shishito appetizer, the food was underwhelming. My reheated-tasting salmon with a cloyingly sweet mango risotto was a low point, as was the oddly dressed raw kale. Prepackaged Caesar and kids' meals, alongside basic curry and noodles, further missed the mark. At over $20 an entree, the lack of care was glaring. The highlight was escaping to the cool gift shop. As excited locals, this deeply disappointing first impression makes a return unlikely and a recommendation impossible. Poor value, poor ambiance, and those flies – a generous 2 out of 5 stars.
