    Gertrude's is one of my Baltimore favorites. This time I was especially grateful for their understanding: I called at intermission to request an extra 45 minutes extension on our reservation since the event beforehand was running later than planned. They accommodated us graciously.

    The ambience and service were very, very good. We were given the wrong sauce with my daughter’s pancakes and it was spicy, so that was almost a problem, but not a huge deal. Food was generally very tasty, although the turkey sausage was not great. Eric the server was excellent and the rest of the food was delicious. Value was okay, price was not too high.

    We always love Gertrude's for the food, ambience, and service and tonight did not disappoint. We both had the steak frites (delicious) and shares the chocolate mousse "candy bar" with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Everything was excellent.

    The rainbow trout with crab was excellent; the vegetables were drenched in butter. Yum. Peter continues to be one of the most excellent waiters of all time.

    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.
