    Spectacular service and food. Great happy hour and prices. I’m Greek and the spinach pie (Spanikopita) was amazing, as was the Gyro. The mussels were excellent and a nice sized portion. We will definitely go back during our stay in Baltimore!!

    I usually order the delicious crab quiche and did so again. It comes with greens and is just the perfect amount of food for me. My beverage was a cider. My husband had pork tenderloin and was very happy with his choice. He chose a hoppy IPA for his beverage. We splurged on calories and split a yummy dessert. The service was excellent even though Gertrude’s was very crowded.
