From the hostess to our server, the service at Gertrude’s was phenomenal. We went for brunch to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and we were pleasantly surprised with a lovely birthday card from the staff and dessert. It was an appreciated touch that my husband was excited to put the card on the fridge, including the envelope which one of the staff members personally drew a special design on. The food was also delicious. I highly recommend the hot mess breakfast - the sauce was immaculate! If you’re making at stop at the garden, definitely add Gertrude’s to your food stop.

We had a great time. I had a small issue with my food. Both my server and the manager corrected my situation with ease. I appreciate the effort and customer service. Its rare these days and I will support Elephante simply because I know I will leave with the best experience. We overall enjoyed the ambiance. The menu is good. If I had one recommendation for improvement… they have many things that many Scottsdale restaurants already offer for less money… and on the same class of restaurant as Elephante. Seems like this could be a weak point personally. However, I think the restaurant is beautiful, and look forward to coming back and enjoying another great experience! Thanks for reading

We went here for Valentines dinner prior to an event at the Phoenix Zoo. The food was absolutely delicious! I had the drunken figs feeling blue pizza which is one of the best pizza's I have ever had. My boyfriend had the enchiladas and said they were amazing! Service good. Would definitely recommend.

We love Steak 44! The service, attention to details and the food are impeccable! We treated ourselves to an early Valentine’s dinner last night. Hannah our original server heard me say something about the noise and graciously offered us another table. We were sitting next to large tables that were having a great time. It was so kind of her to take care of us. Jamel was our server at the second location and he was also so professional and engaging. Our food was delicious! We started off with the cone caviar. Perfect. Then Boo had the caesar and got the wedge. Both so tasty. Then we both ordered the bone-in filet. I explained how I wanted charred hot pink and Boo wanted red. We were both delighted on how perfect our steaks were. I also got the truffle butter lobster topping. OMG! Divine. Our dirty martinis were fantastic as was the espresso martini. Boo got an awesome dessert with ice cream and caramel and cake. Everything was great! Thanks 44 you never disappoint!!

Great fresh food with an interesting menu. Love the guacamole that is made fresh at your table. It’s spendy but on par with most restaurant prices in the area. Friendly staff.
