In retrospect I should have swapped the mimosa for coffee. The toast tasted wonderful with the unique syrup, but it became a bit too sweet for me in combination with the mimosa. The smoky salmon was unforgettably delicious, so it was disappointing to see it replaced with shrimp in the salad on my subsequent visit.įor my second visit my girlfriends and I all ordered French toast with a pretty pink prickly pear syrup, paired with prickly pear mimosas. My first time eating at Gertrude's I enjoyed a smoked salmon arugula salad with fingerling potatoes.

Located just past the entrance of the stunning Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix, Gertrude's Restaurant is a culinary oasis boasting a seasonally-inspired menu created with ingredients sourced from Arizonan farms. I have never been treated so rudely before and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I said we didn't want to sit so far apart and we got ready to leave, She then said, again with a sneer, something that implied we deserved nothing better. I started to move the chair to one side of the table and she snapped that she was going to use that place for someone at the still empty adjoining table. She then brought us to a table for two which was placed vertically so one person would sit at the window side and the other about fivefert away on a facing chair. The hostess sneered, but offered a table outside or one inside. We are from the east coast and hadn't booked a reservation at Gertrude's but decided to stop in and ask if they had a table available. My husband and I visited the Desert Botanical Gardens yesterday morning, and. However, the hostess was so nasty that I can't help but comment. We never actually got to eat here, and I have never reviewed a place before where I hadn't sampled the food.

Whether it was the duo that put the silver paper that wraps gum on their teeth or the man that didn't change his emotion not even once or the groom swiping someone's wheelchair and zooming into the middle of a picture or the guy that could make any face in the world and be funny while doing it - this was a lively crowd. It's like when you are driving in your car listening to something funny on the radio and you just can't help bursting out in laughter and you know the people in the cars next to you think you're nuts. What can I say about this crowd.they were just so much fun.
