My husband and I went to Gertrude's for dinner on 12/28 before attending Las Noches de Las Luminarias at the Desert Botanical Garden. We sat outside and Josh was our server and he was excellent! What a perfect night! We started with the Elote Fritters, which were amazing! Such a wonderful combination of flavors. For our entrée, we split the Gertie's Burger - ordered it medium well, and it was cooked perfectly. It came with a side of fingerling potatoes, which are one of my favorite things at Gertrude's. To drink we had a glass of their delicious Berry Basil Lemonade. If you've never been to Gertrude's, I highly recommend it. We've eaten there on several occasions and have never been disappointed.

Food for five persons were very good with great services and hospitality.We ate our dinner at five pm and the outdoor dining area were pretty dark as there are no ceiling lights but do have small table LED light lamps and under bench lighting. Some of us had hard hard time reading the menus with low lights but was managed somehow. We will go there again with better daylights.

The tempura cauliflower was delicious! Really nice jazz musician too. Our server, Emerson, was professional and food came out quickly. The coconut tres leches desert was tasty but the cake was a bit dry. Other than that a great experience and we will definitely be back.
