Decided to take my parents to Gertrude's for New Year's brunch (we'd had such a good brunch last time we were here).
Well when we got seated we found out they were not doing brunch! It's NY's Day...who isn't doing brunch?? Gertrude's is treating NY day like it's a normal Monday...no brunch, no live entertainment, etc.
We were totally disappointed but decided to try lunch. I hate to say this but it was a total bust. Duck enchiladas were flavorless, hamburger was cold, drinks were too sweet...
Our waiter acted like he was so busy that we were kind of a pain.
The last 2 times we were here on a weekend. Service was fabulous, brunch was great, food was warm, great live music, etc. So I guess in the end, it's great on the weekends - not good on week days.
