    Crab cakes are absolutely amazing! Love the menu and never disappointed. Outside dining was lovely with the fans and breeze. Fountain is very loud so it’s hard to converse, garden looks like it could use a makeover with some color. Unfortunate there’s a feeling of not very clean, watched a rat run through a flower bed, and swatted flies while we ate. Had considered as a wedding venue but just not up to par. Not very well cleaned so there’s a feeling of can’t be bothered. Which is a shame. Food is great though.

    We were saddened by our experience at Gertrudes in early July. We went on a Thursday to celebrate a birthday. I ordered cream of crab soup. It came out lukewarm and full of shells. I also ordered the fried chicken (only available on Thursdays and I was told by our waitress that John Shields still makes it). That was burned, dry and tasteless. They did offer me another protein, but when they brought some steak with chimichurri, they whisked away the plate that contained the chicken, my starch, broccoli and fork. I couldn't get anyone's attention and I had waited a long time for the 2nd protein, so I used my husband's fork. My husband got the salmon - it was more like smashed salmon as an omelette. Strange texture and flavor. The 2 good things: they had a nice selection of $25 bottles of wine. And, the lamb meatball small plate was tasty. I am sad to write this because the atmosphere and price point at Gertrude's are both positives and we would like to continue to go to the restaurant.

    Food and service were excellent. The menu is diverse, creative, moderately priced, and offers lovely choices for omnivores and vegans alike. The ambiance was pleasantly attractive and comfortable, except that it was very noisy. The decibel level was the only factor reducing my ratings. Otherwise, a delightful experience.

    Benedict’s and omelette were great. Watermelon gazpacho was refreshing and unique to find at a restaurant. Very convenient when visiting BMA

    It could have been just a bad night, but the noise level was crushing. We literally could not hear each other across the table. My crabs were fried, not broiled. One guest’s clam pasta had unopened clams. Won’t be going back any time soon.

    My turkey burger was quite tasty, juicy and flavorful . My friends enjoyed their turkey club and black bean burger also. The presentation of the food was very appealing. The decor is pleasing. Will definitely return
