Gertrude’s Chesapeake Kitchen - Review - Charles Village - Baltimore - The Infatuation

"The Chesapeake Bay is the third largest estuary in the world, and there are few better places to sample the quality of the seafood and produce than at this vaulted, light-filled space inside the (free!) Baltimore Museum of Art. And on a nice day, a meal on the patio overlooking the sculpture garden wins our vote for best outdoor dining in town. Gertrude’s is full of winking nods to Maryland places, like the Tilghman Island Eggs—which is named for the historic water town a few hours east, and takes the form of eggs served with oysters and griddled tomato.. Anything with crab on the menu is a solid choice, with the Boardwalk Crab Cake holding its own against Faidley’s. The lump crab and claw meat staple can be found on every iteration of the menu, including their great $36 Thursday dinner deal for three courses. photo credit: Marlayna Demond photo credit: Marlayna Demond photo credit: Marlayna Demond Pause Unmute RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - Michele Berry
