Gertrude's

My first-time dining at Gertrude's after a Candlelight Concert featuring the Best of Bridgerton on Strings in the Meyerhoff Auditorium at BMA.When I saw the white tablecloths, I knew this would be a fine-dining experience.Alex T. provided the right number of check-ins and did an excellent job explaining the menu choices.Our menu choices:Red Crab SoupSteak FritesBoardwalk Crab Cake PlatterAll yummyI'm so glad I made reservations; I saw people turned away, or their only option was to sit on the high chairs at the bar.

Date Night At Gertrude's!Im just going to say it - this review is going to be glowing because I got married here and just walking into the restaurant makes me feel all warm inside. Call it cheating, or me being biased...but at least I gave you a heads up!I took my best friend to Gertrude's and we loved every moment of it...especially this time of the year when they do their "Row House Competition"! We have been coming here for *years* and love going to the BMA, then walking over to Gertrudes for a delicious meal.The staff were super friendly and able to answer any question I had regarding the menu! It had changed from my last visit which was really cool! After my 1000 questions I *DID* still settle on a burger, but thats only because Ive been craving a burger for like a month...and you better believe I kept the sauces from the Crab Cake sampler to use on my French fries. (Let me live my best life, okay?!) PS: The burger, and all of our food was absolutely fantastic...as it has always been for years.After dinner we were encouraged to walk around the venue and vote for their "Row House Competition" which was a nice, festive way to close out the night.I cant recommend this place enough. Come for dinner because its always soo cozy in the evening...oh, and make a reservation! You can always sit at an open bar seat...but the tables get booked up!What we ordered:-Fells Burger-Some Vegan Gumbo Thing That I Forgot The Name Of-Crab Cake Sampler-Apple Cinnamon Bread Pudding- "Poe's Last Word" (Cocktail)

I think we may have had a new server, drink, soup...forgotten. Lots of following up.That said everything was amazing! Great ambience. Warm, cozy, and good food. They don't validate parking so find street parking. We will be back. It was good energy!We had the honey buffalo cauliflower, a crab cake, meatballs and lobster bisque.

Vegan " crabcakes" are worth the hype. The sides for this dish are rotating and welll thought out. Service is consistently great. Love the ambiance for a special occasion meal!

I want to love this place with the local charm and fares. But unfortunately it's hard to give it too much credit as everything was just .. ok. The crab cake was pretty good but nothing too exciting. We also had the tenderloin which gave me food poisoning. But the highlight of the meal was actually the bread pudding.

i came here at 1-ish on a saturday, so naturally it was very busy. the host said it would be a 5 min wait but they actually ended up forgetting about us! we checked in on our timing at least 15 min later and were seated immediately. this place is NICE; see tablecloths for evidence. i ordered a few things off the specials menu, the apple cider mimosa and the egg nog french toast. they also served complimentary biscuits and cornbread with a mango jam, which i was pleasantly surprised by! the mimosa was very tasty, especially with the cinnamon sugar rim. the egg nog french toast was also really tasty and you could definitely taste the nog. an appropriate amount of syrup was served. although this is a fancy looking place, i think their prices are very reasonable (especially considering the free biscuit). it's also a treat to be able to leave and walk around the museum gift shop. i would definitely recommend this place for any brunch goers.

Food was good. They were short enough on wait staff (a Saturday night around the holidays, but not a full house) that they didn't want to replace the tablecloth when I knocked over my cousin's Malbec. Little weird and service was slow but they clearly just didn't have enough people.

We were looking for a good place to celebrate and the reviews said Gertrude's was nice and they were right. good ambiance in the art museum and excellent food.we started with the mediterranean platter and then ordered the gertie's crab cake with fries, the powerhouse sandwich with fruit, lamb meatballs and hushpuppies. standouts were the crab cakes, the fruit and the lamb meatballs. each dish was good in terms of flavor, quantity and quality,overall great experience in terms of food and atmosphere

Gertrude's is the upscale restaurant in the Baltimore Museum of Art.* * *The Baltimore Museum of Art gets about 38 stars.For a small museum playing catch-up with the big city majors, It is amazing.The contemporary exhibits are incredibly well chosen with fantastic selections of artists and works.The older galleries have to live with what was not picked up first by places like the Met in New York.For some hard to understand reason, Baltimore scored a massive number of Matisses.But, Matisse aside, the average older gallery has about two amazing pieces among a ho hum rest.But those two amazing pieces ...* * *That said, Yelp is not about porcelain boddhisattvas.Yelp is about the food.Gertrude's is good eating.It is a nice room.The menu is small, and heavy on seafood and sandwiches.Make that elegant seafood and upscale sandwiches.They do not inflate the prices because you are in a museum.The pricing is much appreciated by Samuel C.Add the charm of the setting, and this is a great place to be.I was with amazing company discussing deep philosophical issues.So my attention to the food was probably less than I would have liked for a Yelp review.But I loved everything I had ...Double that for dessert.* * *And how can you not like your salmon,When back in the gallery, you have just seen the contemporary mandala of your dreams?

went here for the irish festival event and it was sensational! the food was immaculate
