Dear Friends of Berta's:
On behalf of myself, my wife Sandi, and our staff, I would like to welcome you to our site. It might seem a little strange that a nearly eighty year old (founded in 1927), traditional restaurant has a web-site but Berta's has never been conventional. Alongside such hard to find menu choices such as Frog's Legs and Sweetbreads, we do more modern dishes like Pink Snapper from Argentina, Char with Jamaican spices, or a low fat Pate based on fresh Turkey (three recent specials); for a rather remote (not since the coming of I-287 !!), country restaurant the wine list is beyond world class: selected by "The Wine Spectator" as one of the country's finest Italian lists and honored by them for over 14 years with their "Best Award of Excellence" Certificate. We recently unearthed a very old winelist from the late 1930's and my grandfather was serving Classified Bordeaux and Grand Cru Burgundy.

In addition to a bit of history, we hope you find the information here useful. I would like to thank my cousin Catherine Cousins-McLeod without whom this site wouldn't exist.

Peter Bernstein
