| - I ate here with my boyfriend's big family for the first time for Sunday brunch, and I must say that I definitely left fully satisfied!!
I gave this restaurant five stars because:
1.) Service is excellent!
We had a group of 14 people and not once did I have to flag down a waitress, might I add that we did have two waitresses though but they both attended to our every want and need. I never ran out of coffee nor water.
2.) The food is DELICIOUS!!!
An assortment of toasted bread came out ahead of our entrées with what seemed to look like homemade whipped butter (not sure if it was homemade and whipped but it seemed that way). The breads were very flavorful, some with grains and spices, some with just spices, etc... Just excellent toasted bread and butter that tasted differently than any other bread I've tasted at other restaurants.
Their hummingbird nectar that came with my coffee is superb!!!!! Yes, you heard right, hummingbird nectar!!! You can have sugar, Splenda, etc., but if your coffee didn't come with hummingbird nectar make sure to ask your waitress for some so you can at least try it! It was my first time ever trying the nectar and it definitely won't be my last... Now if I can just try to find some to keep in my home for my coffee, or tea or everything!
As for our entrées, everyone loved their food! A lot of us ordered their signature dish ("Hot Mess") which was what the waitress recommended--we were all impressed! The chef made the "Hot Mess" particularly in the huevos rancheros version for that day; It included green chile pork, poblano mole, Az. Cheese Co jack cheese, crow's dairy quark, and cotija cheese in between layers of tostadas topped with two sunny side up eggs. You can bet on it that I will be back to eat the "Hot Mess"! My mouth is watering thinking about it...
We had them make a cake (calling a week beforehand) for the celebrant and it was delectable!! They were also very organized with their slicing of the cake and plating/serving. The cake was a strawberry shortcake, but it was definitely no strawberry shortcake I've ever tasted. The cake was perfect--not too sweet, not too dry, not too wet/moist...it was just the right amount of ingredients! We all loved it!
I assure you that whatever you decide to get at Gertrude's you will not be disappointed. I will absolutely positively return as a happy and hungry customer!
