    Baja Burrito with carne asada and smothered in green chili
    Sheryl S.

    OMG.. what a little gem, who knew (okay, my friends knew). This little local establishment is in a tiny strip center off 9th and Jersey. The staff was so friendly and a huge shout out to Bailey our server (5 gold stars for her). We meet for a quick bit on Wednesday night also in time for Happy Hour. Wednesday is al Prime Rib special night. 2 set of friend share a large portion with mashed taters and green beans. I was at a Baja bistro and thought it best to try a Mexican item. I am a sucker for anything smothered. So I ordered the burrito with rice and beans queso cheddar cheese, and carne asada. A huge flour tortilla filled with meat, Sautee onions, peppers, mushrooms and spinach topped with shredded lettuce, dice tomato & sour cream and of course SMOTHERED in house made green chili. OMG delish. Oh, and it come with a side of chips... yeah, you read that right a side of potato chips. Our server let us upgrade to French fries in a large basket with (as my grandson says) dip (yep ketchup). In the neighborhood, or even close... I highly recommend Bertha's and ask for my new friend Bailey!

    Neighborhood place with a large brunch menu. Service and food were slow but once it came, it was good. Not incredibly large portions but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Nothing special in the ambiance but we could get a table immediate on a weekend prime time.

    Had a very enjoyable experience at Bertha's! Food was excellent and served quickly. I had the adult Mac & cheese and would highly recommend! The staff was very friendly and attentive. It is a laid back local vibe. Will definitely be back.

    I saw this place a few months ago going to a Yelp Elite Event. They are on the south end of a small strip mall in the Montclair neighborhood. They have a small bar which almost every seat was occupied on Friday at 3pm. 1 large room and a smaller one. A large shaded patio facing west. Very large menu with appetizers, soups & salads, burgers & sammies, tacos, entrees and daily specials. A table menu sign had drinks and desserts. No QR codes. The various flat-screen t.v's were showing sports, CNN and TNT movies without captions or sound. I started with freshly brewed iced tea. Nice and strong. In fact, I had 3 glasses with lunch. I chose the Don Fuego cheeseburger with pepperjack cheese, roasted poblanos, red bell pepper, sliced jalapeños, sliced onions with a chipotle aioli & Tabasco sauce. I got the beer battered Onion Rings as my side. I used the sauce to dip the onion rings into since the burger toppings already gave alot of heat. I was served by Autumn P. She was quick & pleasant. There was a sign on the check-in podium that they prefer cash over cards, but Autumn said it was not an issue. So Bertha's is basically a local diner with a wide selection. When I left at 415pm, they were filling up.

    The stellar reviews brought my husband and I along with 3 friends into Bertha's Baja Bistro on a Sunday morning for brunch. The fantastic food and service will easily bring me back next time I am in the area. All 5 of us enjoyed our food. I couldn't decide between a sweet or savory option, so the fact that pancakes come as a side option (along with toast, potatoes, fruit, sausage or bacon) made the ordering process that much easier. I went with the Huevos Rancheros along with a side of the blueberry pancakes. Everything was so good. I completely devoured my food with no morsel left in sight! Others in my group went with the Breakfast Burrito and the Bertha's Benedict. We all left fully satiated.

    Hi Bertha's I noticed that on Yelp the spelling of Bertha's Baja Bistro is correct but your sign is Berthas Baha Bistro? We are excited to come in and try the food.

    The sign was misspell but got corrected last week. I'm a neighbor and love this place! Great made from scratch food and amazing and friendly staff!

Warm, happy to have us there, easy to talk to. I mentioned to my friend that I was thinking about a bloody mary, and a minute or two later Ryan asked if he should get that bloody started. He'd caught it in passing conversation, not because he was hovering. That's a hard balance to strike and he nailed it all afternoon. The drinks were great. Nothing fancy on my end, a bloody mary, a shaken screwdriver. Not too strong or weak. Sounds simple, but a lot of bartenders can't consistently hit it! We all got eggs your way, simple stuff done well. The roasted fingerling potatoes were crispy outside, fluffy inside, super good!! The strawberry jam was giving homemade, but I didn't confirm. Overall, Ryan made the visit. Calm presence, good company, and there's nothing better than a brunch seat at his bar next to those big open windows!

This was just for lunch, but started out sharing the crab croquettes. Fluffy and lightly fried with a perfect mayo-based dipping sauce. A great start. I had the Koji fried chicken sandwich that was very good and we shared a spectacular gooey butter cake with a dollop of vanilla ice cream for a shared dessert. The stand-outs were the crab croquettes and the gooey butter cake. Both were incredibly good. Would definitely return and try some of the more entree-ish looking things for dinner. You should definitely give this place a try. Ciao, David

Location (4 stars) This restaurant is downtown near the convention center. parking is pricy if you valet park at the hotel. Last year it was around $40. Parking in the lot across the street for $25 dollars Easter Sunday. If you use a walker, I would not recommend the parking lot across the street. Food (3 Stars) The Thanksgiving buffet is the best one. I would rate that buffet a (4). The Christmas and Easter buffet are pretty low key. There is a carving station (ham and prime rib). There is an omelet station. Dessert bar is decorative. Cheesecake was delicious. The warming station with potatoes, sausage etc. leaves much to be desired. The charcuterie station is sparse. They offer unlimited mimosas for an additional $25. Service (5 stars) Staff are extremely friendly. Cleanliness (2 stars) My only complaint, I saw a tabletop being cleaned off with a rag used to clean the chairs and then under the table on the floor and on to the next tabletop. I'm just a little picky about that. Especially since folks these days go commando and wear short attire, and you know their parts are on the chair and now spread to tabletops. Wiping up the crumbs off the floor with same rag simply through me over the edge. Atmosphere (4 stars) Spacious uncrowded environment. Nice decor. Bright with large windows.

    During the last few Denver Restaurant Week events, I've tried to take the offerings as an…read moreopportunity to sample restaurants that I haven't tried, or otherwise may not try, and see if I can add to my list of favorites. I saw Former Saint on CBS News, and the menu and food looked incredible. In particular, that white chocolate blueberry cheesecake was something I know my hubby would look forward to all week! I loved the idea of local food and fresh homemade dishes. Sounds healthy, after a week of potential over-indulgence at other restaurant week venues. An additional bonus was that it is located right near the Denver Convention Center and the Performing Arts Center. This has become a dry spot for fine dining, with even the choices on Larimer Square growing more thin, giving rise to the inability to get reservations at favorites like Tamayo and Rioja prior to a show. I go to performances frequently with friends, and despite my rule to avoid hotel restaurants (Former Saint is in the Hyatt Regency), I thought I'd scope out Former Saint as a place to take my friends before the next symphony or Children's Chorale or ballet or broadway performance. I must say, the jury is still out. Former Saint was a Jekyll and Hyde of courses. Parking was not difficult (Yay, maybe I can park here prior to my shows, if I grab a bite first). There is a large garage, and the promise of validation from the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant is typical hotel restaurant. Booths, tables, old and a bit drab. Except for the bar. Oh, my! The bar has this BEAUTIFUL copper creation above it, adding so much industrial character to the space! I was in awe looking at it, as it appeared to bring craft suds to the bartender's taps. I didn't ask how it worked, as it wasn't clear how the beer separation and dispensing worked, but it was a great centerpiece and spectacle for the place. I do wish I had investigated more about this architectural marvel, and will do so if I return. For restaurant week, my husband chose the Lobster Ravioli, Ribeye, and blueberry cheesecake (as predicted). I chose the Gotham salad, roasted chicken, and key lime tart. The lobster ravioli was nice; my husband was surprised that it was a toasted ravioli, but enjoyed it. My salad was full of beautiful greens, pears, walnuts, and feta. No scrimping here! The dressing was light and sweet/sour. The pears were a bit unripe and crisp, to the point that I was having trouble identifying exactly what fruit I was eating, but other than that, the salad was beautiful, healthy, and ample. My husband's ribeye steak was a nice cut, done to his liking. Slivered hash browns were underneath with a nice green chimichurri on top and some sliced Fresnos adding a welcome kick to the dish. My chicken was delightful. 1/2 chicken on the bone, seasoned nicely, and with a pan sauce. The breast was super-tender and delicious. It came atop cheesy grits, which was a yummy substitute for a mashed potato. I also was served side salad of curly lettuce and fennel. I probably didn't need more salad, but I was glad to have the healthy side on my plate. I will say that this salad was over-seasoned. The chicken and grits were great, but the salad too salty. My husband ordered a glass of J. Lohr Cabernet, which was a very nice find on the wine list, as far as a pairing for his ribeye. That said, the glass cost $30! A bit much, I might say. The real detractor, unfortunately, was dessert. The blueberry cheesecake looked nothing like the beautiful creamy white cheesecake accented throughout by purple blueberries, which I saw on the CBS News clip. My husband was served a very small solid purple slice, overcome with whipped cream dollops. This cheesecake had been uncovered in the fridge too long, with sort of a skin on it. My husband ate almost none of it. My key lime tart was similarly over-adorned with whipped cream, although I had some nice raspberries on top. The tart also seemed overexposed to the cool air, with the thickening of a skin on top. It was a very disappointing way to end a nice meal, and belied the healthy, homemade, craft theme. High points of this experience include the well-crafted and healthy entrees, the fact that we could see the convention center right outside our window (i.e., the location is perfect for pre-event or -theater), the $3.00 validated parking fee, and that beautiful copper tap system. Will the pros outweigh the cons? Will we be back with friends? Time will tell.

The pancake crumbled as soon as you put syrup and tried to pick it up. The best part was the chicken sausage, which was served hot and not too salty or oily. I really liked the vibe inside, with the open feeling and the red brick interior. There are clean bathrooms. Our waitress was really great - super kind and attentive. Unfortunately the kitchen lacked. It was convenient being able book a reservation, they also have a waitlist that you can join prior to heading to the restaurant.
