    We have enjoyed Gertrude’s a lot in over the years, but the past two times, the food and service have been sadly disappointing. At Easter brunch the crab omelet has plenty of crab (loved that), but the Mornay sauce was watery and had a gray color to it. My table mate said his Mediterranean omelet was OK. Drinks were fine…service OK. We had to look for our server to ask for a cup of coffee at the end. Had he approached us sooner we would have ordered another round of drinks. We will probably not be back any time soon.

    Service at Gertrudes was poor. We ordered six oysters. Five were large and flavorful. One was tiny and flavorless. I ordered cream of crab soup. It was served at room temperature. I sent it back. My companion's order arrived later. It was also room temperature. I ordered Caesar salad with grilled shrimp. I received a garden salad. When the correct salad was served, the shrimp were cold. The coffee came at room temperature. My companion had to send back her coffee twice for reheating. The wait staff were awkward and, at times, resentful, apparently believing that we should accept whatever was put in front of us without complaint. Gertrudes aspires to be an exceptional restaurant but is not delivering.

    My wife and I celebrated our 50th anniversary at Gertrude's yesterday evening. The service was awesome and attentive to the importance of the occasion. The food, as always, was wonderful.

    First let me start off by saying I have been to Pride events here and was always impressed. I cannot say the same for my brunch experience. My husband and I were celebrating our recent marriage and were very disappointed. My husband was served a drink with a fly it. My one guest’s glass was so dirty it left a dirt mark on his finger tip. Then his white napkin was dirty or stained. The food was mediocre at best. I ordered the special of shrimp and grits. The grits were solid like a break and just disgusting. My guest ordered a shrimp sandwich and there was no seasoning other than mayo. Generally the plates and glasses looked dirty or at least covered in water spots. Lastly I ordered dessert. Brownie and strawberry ice cream. The brownie was more like a cake, not what I wanted but fine. But the ice cream was obviously freezer burned and they served it any way. With that all being said, every time the waiter would come by he would ask and I would tell him each issue we had. He said sorry and walked away. He took zero initiative to discuss the matter or attempt to rectify the situation. I won’t ever be going back. And I would have given the experience zero stars if I could. Lastly, I have never left a negative review before. But this was so bad that I felt I had no other choice.

    Always a great experience when I come to Gertrude’s. I have not been to brunch for over a decade. I will try to make it back more often. Alana was great.
