Review:

Gertrude's is an iconic destination on the Baltimore culinary scene, acclaimed by international publications such as Food and Wine, Travel + Leisure, and The Washington Post as one of the city's best restaurants. The restaurant, which was founded in 1998 by John Gilligan and John Shields, is located within the beautiful Baltimore Museum of Art and is considered to be one of the pioneers on the nation's farm-to-table dining scene. Excellent Chesapeake Bay culinary traditions are showcased throughout the week as part of dishes crafted by Shields, a renowned PBS culinary star and cookbook author. Diners can enjoy excellent fare such as all-lump Baltimore-style crab cakes, Chincoteague single-fry cornmeal-encrusted oysters, and Chesapeake rockfish Imperial with toasted pecan butter. The restaurant's main dining room overlooks a gorgeous sculpture garden at the museum, which showcases works by Auguste Rdin, Isamu Noguchi, and Alexander Calder.
