We had a delicious and delightful lunch at Gertrude's after our visit at the BMA. We were greeted at the front desk and appreciated that our request to have a birthday candle included in the dessert. We each had different entrees and we tested each other's. All of them were excellent. The staff were friendly and accommodating.
