Bertha's can do far better to uphold Cape Town's foodie reputation.

I ordered the fish / seafood platter for one and my friend ordered the pensioners chicken schnitzel. The hake and chips were very good but the mussels in a tasteless sloppy sauce were inedible. The prawns were over cooked and the calamari tubes were tough. I should have just ordered the hake and chips and saved some money. The chicken schnitzel looked great value, but upon reflection, the cheese sauce was suspect - my friend ended up with a really bad upset tummy for 2 days! The only reason this restaurant gets 2 stars is 1 for the hake which was delicious and 2 for the service.
