In the heart of Simons Town, you’ll find Bertha’s Restaurant on the waters edge, fronting the old Town Pier. Boasting magnificent views across False Bay, the Naval Harbour and the Yacht Marina...

Bustling by day you can enjoy a long, lazy lunch; cocktails at sunset out on the terrace or be swept away by
the sheer romance of the restaurant at night. Relaxed, warm and informal with a cosmopolitan appeal,
it is a favourite place for visitors to pass a few leisurely hours. The terrace is perfectly positioned
for a memorable experience.

Bertha’s extensive menu features South African fare, fresh seafood and an impressive selection of wines.
Emphasis is on flavour and presentation, and you are never left disappointed.

    Good day, where do I start.... Well I called a few days prior to book a table for 16 and requested the middle deck outside, and it was confirmed as I did not want the inside. I have been frequenting Berthas for about 16 years and loved the place and Foods and great service. Well this time I went and when entering the restaurant and mentioned I had a booking, however even though I saw my name in the book, not table was prepared for my 12;00 request. I was then told that I coukd go inside to the back or upstairs and I said no, it's my mom's 80th and was a special occasion as she loves it outside. Well after trying to suggest moving empty tables, I was told all are booked long ago. If im not mistaken, my name was tge only one actually printed on the sheet but many manually added. I was then told they can give me an 8 seater table which I thought was a joke but she was serious. Anyway I said im really not happy and said im leaving and there was no effort or interaction from a manager to even make some sort of plan. I mentioned that they would be hearing from me and here comes the Disneyland review. Well I called Brass Bell and they gladly made a plan and we did end up having an awesome meal. Berthas you have lost a long time client and will never see me again, and on top of it I will make it my mission to ensure that other do not waste their time looking into Berthas. "I AM SURE THAT THE STAFF MUST HAVE CHANGED, AS THERE WAS NO NEED TO TRY AND SATISFY A CUSTOMER WHO WOULD HAVE SPENT A FEW THOUSAND,BUT ITS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY!!!"

    Bertha's Restaurant responded on Fri 14 Aug 26:
    Dear Paul, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I am truly sorry to read about what happened on such an important occasion, especially your mother's 80th birthday. Firstly, I would like to apologise for the disappointment and frustration caused by the handling of your reservation. Having booked in advance and specifically requested outdoor seating for a special family celebration, you had every right to expect that your booking would be properly prepared upon arrival. It is clear that we fell short of the standards that you have come to expect from Bertha's over the past 16 years. What concerns me most is not only the seating issue itself, but that you felt there was little effort made to find a satisfactory solution and that no manager stepped in to assist. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide, and I understand how this left you feeling undervalued as a long-standing guest. While I appreciate that an apology cannot undo the disappointment of that day, I would welcome the opportunity to make things right. We value the relationship we have built with you over the years and are genuinely saddened to hear that your special celebration took place elsewhere after your experience with us. If you would be willing to give us another chance, I would like to personally invite you and your mother, back to Bertha's for a complimentary meal on us. Please contact me directly so that I can personally oversee the reservation and ensure that everything is arranged exactly as it should be. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We are taking your feedback seriously and will be reviewing the circumstances surrounding your booking to prevent this from happening again. Kind regards, The Bertha's Management Team Clark@berthas.co.za 078 252 4651

    We were a group of 70 people. On our arrival the tables were all set and ready to be seated.. The staff was very helpful. Friendly and accommodating. The food was tasty.. Served hot and no delays in between servings..
