  • Gertrude's is in a lovely location, situated right at the entrance to the Desert Botanical Garden. My wife and I attended the Luminarias event and figured on a light dinner to kick things off. The restaurant itself is well laid out, and although loud when full the noise is not overwhelming; some attention has obviously been paid to the acoustics. It's a pleasant place to eat, but the food was disappointing. The menu is creative, but none of the entrees were immediately appealing, so we went with appetizers and sides that looked tastier. My wife had the gumbo and a side of broccoli and cheese, I had the dirty chips (potato chips with a blue cheese fondue and chicken livers) and green salad. The gumbo was tasty and well-spiced on its own, at least at first, but the decision to serve it over horseradish potato salad rather than a more traditional rice base didn't really work for our tastes, and as she ate it she found it increasingly salty to the point where she couldn't finish it. The chips were tasty at first, but also over-salted; by the time I was halfway through them I couldn't taste anything but salt. We don't eat out much, so we considered that perhaps our palates were unused to restaurant-level saltiness, but I cook with a fair amount of salt at home so I don't think that's it. On the bar front, the blackberry/mint seltzer was delicious, and the beer selection small but well-chosen. The cocktails also looked tasty as they came out, but we didn't order any so can't vouch for them. The service was very polite and the food came out very quickly, although I think the staff was a bit overwhelmed by the Luminarias crowd. I think it would be a very nice place to go have a drink or two after a stroll through the Garden, but I wouldn't come back to eat.
