The service was great and the food was delicious, particularly the cream of crab soup. We had the brunch menu, and it was a great variety of breakfast, lunch, and exquisite entrees.

Have been to Gertrude's a few times and it has always been enjoyable. This visit was, as expected, just as memorable. The original cocktail was interesting and wonderfully flavorful. The other classic cocktail was expertly mixed and was like a visit from an old friend. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. What really made the night complete was the charming and helpful server, Grace. No matter how good food and drink is, a restaurant either succeeds or fails based on the quality of the service. Fortunately, this restaurant has staff as lovely and accommodating as Grace. Thank you all for a wonderful birthday dinner.

Miss Toya’s is the best place i’ve been to in a long time, the place is aesthetically pleasing but the food matches and so does the service. Everyone was so nice and I had a mini surprise gender reveal for my partner and I and they made it so special. Everyone was fantastic like if I could tip the entire staff I would. But it’s definitely worth it and I will be back!
