Gertrude's is a very good "farm to table" restaurant in a beautiful location with a great outdoor patio. Food was prepared well. We started with grilled asparagus and although some of the asparagus was very thin and burnt on some of the ends, the fried egg on top was a great addition and we would order this side again. We also had as a starter the whole grain with white quinoa; this was an excellent starter dish full of flavor and seemingly very healthy with sort of a blueberry taste. The King salmon was well prepared and the green mole sauce was very good addition. The only downfall was, the charge of 6$ for bread, although the bread was good and had the addition of grapes and rosemary baked in, I would not pay for the bread plate again. Gertrude's is open to the general public and does not require Desert Botanical Garden membership or admission, just check in at the gate.
