Martick's death marks the end of an era in Baltimore

Morris Martick's passing marks not only the loss of a unique man but also a gem of genuine Baltimore culture. His restaurant was a mirror of the man: Always elegant, yet the polar opposite of pretentious.

Behind his famously locked door, the decor was a mixture of elements that never should have worked together yet somehow did, right down to the cracked mirror on the wall that remained unchanged for two decades.

Martick's death is a loss to all of us who relished dining with him.

Donald W. Strauss, Towson
