We go for the work ... And we work hard and then when it's time to eat and eat but when it's time to play, we play and just remember no matter where you go there you are

Old school restaurant has a great atmosphere. I had the Barada with tomatoes and pepper and the pork medallions.

My family had been going there for decades! It has been a very long time since we have gone. We took my mom here tonight for her 90th birthday, and it did not disappoint! The food is delicious, and the service is stellar. This is truly the best hidden gem in NJ.

Quaint place. Nicely decorated. Food excellent and had more than enough to take home. Service was excellent and didn’t rush you. Chef came by and was very friendly. I had the chefs menu which was a 3 course meal with tomatoe soup ,eggplant parm, and dessert. my guest had the 4 course menu with clams casino, pasta, filet, pecan pie. Excellent all around. Definitely would returnParking: Plenty of parkingWheelchair accessibility: Had a ramp which helped me a lot since I had a problem going up stairs.

I worked there as a busboy with Peter Berta in circa 1967-1968. Happy to see still successful. Still remember sitting down with the help to eat at the end of the night. Mrs Berta was tough, but always made sure you were fed at the end of the the shift ! It was a first class place. All male staff back in the day.

Took my wife, mother and aunt here for Mother's Day. Arrived 15 minutes early and was greeted by the fella holding the bottle in the picture who impolitely announced we were early. Based on the way the rest of the evening went I have to assume he was the owner and knew he was unprepared for business. This same individual spent the better part of five minutes welcoming the family behind us (family or regulars) and voicing his complaints about a large group that was in the adjoining room. This same family was served ahead of us despite arriving after us and having a larger group). The wait was excessive and our waiter was rarely seen (presumably because he was the only one we saw. I had to ask for updates on food, drinks and the bill and frankly could not wait to get out of the place. The food was good but it was far outweighed by the poor service. I understand that this place has a long and impressive history but I could not help but it was not evident tonight. I understand that not everyone has an "A" game every day but when this happens, it would be nice to have a manager or owner acknowledge as such.

Wasn't crazy about Bertas for the price. Some things were good but the Shrimp dish ehh. The cheese and dips they put out for you in at the start are great. I'd say try for yourself, nice ambience.

I've being going here for special occasions for 30 years. I have so many memories of eating here with my family from communions to anniversaries. The food has always been very good. My parents, aunts and uncles have always loved this place. We recently went here for my fathers b-day and we heard that they were likely going out of business so we were expecting this to be our last time here. I try to eat a plant based diet but made an exceptions to eat vegetarian for the occasion. The last time I was here, it was obvious the chef was annoyed with me for trying to avoid animal products. I realized that my family has came here as a tradition. They provide a 4 course meal and you will be here for hours. My cousins and I hate it. I honestly don't want to spend 3-4 hours having a meal. This time along I treated my appetizer as lunch and by the time we ate our main courses, it was dinner time. The waiter puts no effort in helping us whatsoever. I'm sure it may be difficult to gauge when everyone's ready to order, so his approach is to wait extremely long just to be sure he didn't have to make an extra trip. Sure the food is good, but I could gotten a weeks worth of groceries for the cost of the meal. I was looking forward to the desert, cheesecake is my favorite and I figured that it was going to be worth it. It was actually the worst cheesecake I've ever had. It was the opposite of light, fluffy, creamy & flavorful. I guess I'd say it was bland with a weird consistency. The waiter was sarcastic when my dad asked for bread and then gave our party a hard time about splitting the bill. My mom was trying to get the chefs attention and say hi, but he was even ruder than the cook. This place is a relic. It represents another time. I for one think it's time for a change. I had some great memories there, but none of them were a credit to service or consideration we received.

This is such a unique spot. The menu can seem overwhelming and I can't even imagine how they are managing such a huge inventory of ingredients as a small business but I am seriously impressed. The food is great! The owner/chef is an exuberant gentlemen. The bread service with the multiple spreads is fantastic. I've had dinner there several times and the experience has never failed.

Berta's has been open for many years but last night 11/6/22 was our first time. It's now my favorite fine dining restaurant. Can't believe all the years wasted not knowing about it!The food is exquisite, creative, far above average. The Ravioli is amazing to start with. My lamb with Gorgonzola cheese - off the charts. Same with the Orzo. Peter and Sandy Bernstein, owners and Peter is chef, really make the experience fun. Berta's is their life's passion, and it clearly shows. Wine selection - terrific. Interior is so refreshingly not your typical restaurant, and exterior is unique also... walking up you really wonder what the inside will look like!Go enjoy Berta's... you'll be very happy you did.

We have gone to Berta's many times, and it is always great. They have the best wine list I have ever seen and Peter, the owner, can write a book about each bottle. Berta's is always a good time.
