What People Are Saying
from Google"A great restaurant within the Baltimore Art Museum. Worth dining here without a doubt. Good food, service,. atmosphere at reasonable prices. Unless you live in the surrounding area, parking could be a challenge though. Not difficult but probably means finding parking on the nearby streets ( which are within comfortable walking distance unless you have mobility issues)."
"Location, atmosphere, seating, service, and the menu! Gertrude's been hiding out at the Baltimore Museum of Art for some time now. I discovered Gertrude's while attending a candlelight concert honoring Lauren Hill at the BMA. The food and drinks were flavorful and delicious. They offer a variety of fine surf and turf items and some house specials on the drink menu. Their not too pricey pricey. The candlelit atmosphere gave it a cozy and classy feel. You can dine inside or outside under the stars while gazing at the beautiful garden fountain. Gertrude's dining experience made our date night truly one remember for years to come."
"I recently photographed a wedding at Gertrude's and it was so much fun! It is apart of the BMA but it is separate from the museum itself. The staff is amazing! Very helpful and very kind. It started to rain during the ceremony and they jumped in to help relocate anything important from getting wet. One thing to keep in mind about this venue is that they are very specific with the time they allow the ceremony to start. And it doesn't change with daylight savings. The photos that I shared are from the ceremony after the sun had set all the way. So as along as you hire a photographer that knows how to navigate the lighting situation you will be golden. OR just decide to book the venue based on the sun set."
"I went today for my birthday dinner and it was really nice. I love how they offer reservations online. The ambiance was something special. Seating can be a little crowded at times especially during the colder months. Food was delicious, I ate it so fast I didn't get a chance to take a picture lol. Drinks were good and strong; they are not stingy with alcohol. Items can be a little pricey but it's average compared to other restaurants . The staff is very friendly, patient, quick and accurate taking orders and I love how they don't rush you out the door. I would absolutely come back again. This place is a real gem. ❤️"
"We chose this restaurant to celebrate after our wedding and were extremely disappointed. When making the reservation, I specified how important this dinner was to us and our family. We sat unattended for over 15 minutes, and I (the bride) eventually had to walk to the host stand myself so she could find our waiter, which took several more minutes. I want to note the restaurant was nearly empty; regardless, there is no excuse for this carelessness and apathy. The service never improved. The waiter was inattentive, dismissive, lacked knowledge of the menu, and the food was underwhelming; for the price point and reputation, this was completely unacceptable. I want to note that the manager took our complaint seriously, which was appreciated. That being said, the overall experience fell far short of basic hospitality, and this is coming from someone who worked front of house for almost a decade. If this is how a wedding celebration is handled, I cannot imagine the experience for regular guests. We will not be returning."
