I had dinner last night at Gertrude's before the candlelight concert in the theater. The service was excellent. I ordered the seafood salad and the salad was so fresh and delicious. The Maryland crab soup was flavorful and a little spicy. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. It's definitely a great place for a date night or an intimate dinner. Love it. Def recommend. I will be back.

Our 40th Anniversary experience at Gertrude's Restaurant was most enjoyable. We were given a great table and Gretchen was outstanding as our server. Gertrude's had been recommended to me many times by credible people we know. We were very happy we decided to try Gertrude's for our special occasion. We will try to make reservations for a Friday evening so we can experience an evening there with music. We also left the restaurant and throughly enjoyed an amazing Quilt exhibition of artist Elizabeth Talford Scott. This is a gem we will return to.

I was disappointed in the food and the service. My Mahi Mahi was OK but seemed to include some fish parts that weren't typical. I don't know how else to describe it but I couldn't eat part of it. Husbands chicken was dry. Son enjoyed the Salmon. We ordered meatballs as an appetizer and it arrived after the meal. Usually very happy with Gertrudes. Perhaps just an off night.

Gertrude's never fails to satisfy and continues the owner's generous support of the larger community through nights dedicated to sharing proceeds with community institutions like the 29th St Community Center.. Thank You, John Shields!

I've been going to Gertrude's for almost 20 years. It is so consistent in its excellence. The food is always well prepared, well presented, and delicious. The service is attentive but not hovering. Excellent wine and drinks list. If you can, go to Saturday or Sunday brunch to experience Gertie's as its very best.

This place is absolutely gorgeous! It is a hidden gem and a treasure! It has something for everyone to enjoy! The food options are endless! Vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, even meat choices for those that eat it and enjoy the taste of it!! I am going to be a new regular customer from now on!!

The hostess was very efficient. The Lukewarm soup and dessert were delicious. The main entree was lukewarm. I suspect that the food was not picked up in a timely manner by the server. My main issue was the service. The server took 30 minutes to get our bottle of wine. The entree took an hour and they were really not busy. My water glasses were not refilled in almost 3 hours. I had to ask to have my plate removed. The waiter Clay, asked us if we wanted coffee after we finished dessert. I am a caterer so I may pay more attention than most. I was disappointed. And typically, Gertrude's is a favorite.

I work at Hopkins so come to Gertrude often with visitors. It does the job well. Visitors are impressed with crabcakes. I get my vegetarian dish or fish. Excellent service. Not very good coffee. Atmosphere is excellent.

Took an out of town guest to Gertrude's last night. I hadn't been in a couple of years and left wondering why it took me so long to come back. The menu is outstanding and not nearly as pricey as I expected. My guest was completely enamored, can't wait to come back! Plus it was half price wine night by the glass or bottle.

I went to Gertrude's for my wife's birthday and made the reservation very last minute. We went via the Circulator bus line for an early dinner. Overall the atmosphere was great and the service was excellent. We both ordered an appetizer, drinks, dinner, and dessert. The food was amazing and quick. We would highly recommend it.

Great dinner, excellent service from Emily and Clay, not rushed at all. Nice birthday surprise at dessert from our servers. Gret place to eat if you're visiting the Baltimore Museum of Art-it's right in the museum building.

Enjoyed lunch with a girlfriend. One of my main go to spots. Food is always good, as is service. A bit loud for having a conversation, but not sure how to correct the acoustic issue, as it was a full house. The candy bar for dessert was amazing, and perfect to share. Will be back soon!

My favorite restaurant!! Wonderful ambience and a very diverse menu. I would love to see the restaurant open 7 days a week but I realize this be outside of their control. Parking remains to be an issue. A big concern is the lack of knowledge and responsibility of the museum and restaurant hosts on answering any questions regarding the payment for parking. The museum security guard sent us to the kiosk without answering our question and the restaurant host wasn't sure if we could pay ahead for parking.

We went for lunch on Valentine's Day and had a really nice time. Started with a cocktail, the Dancin' Fool, which is like a margarita but with mango and rimmed with a chipotle salt. It's excellent. Our lunches were the beef burger and fries and the salmon with mashed and spinach. They were both excellent! Gertrude's fries are really good and my burger was cooked perfectly as requested. We shared the traditional ice cream sundae for dessert, which is perfectly sized for two. The only hiccup was that we ordered the cornmeal crusted oysters to share as an appetizer. We have had these many times before and they are excellent, but unfortunately they never came out before lunch was served. They offered to bring them out after but it didn't really make sense at that point. The waiter was apologetic and in the end comped us our coffees. I would suggest that if you don't receive your appetizer within 10 minutes to follow up because they do usually serve in a timely manner. We thought maybe they were backed up for the holiday and didn't want to seem pushy. Also we were happily drinking our margaritas!

The brunch selections offer a wide variety of options. Our party had egg dishes, sandwiches and fresh local fish. Each one of our choices was delicious and nicely presented. It's always one of our favorites!
