Recently opened in a newly reimagined building, it is a downtown treasure. The feeling is intimate and nostalgic - fulfilling the dreamed intention.

I recommend that you take your time when you visit. Bring your cell phone but only for pictures. Step out of the 21st century and be transported to the time your great grandparents were courting.

Allow yourself to revel in a time of elegance and enjoy each other's company.

Wife and I took her sister and husband out for sister’s birthday. Rooftop bar area was very nice with great easterly view of the ALICO bldg, courthouse, etc. It was a little cool so we ate inside. Service was adequate, but a little rough. Only reason it got 4 instead of 3 stars was the mgr delivered our soup and appetizers and comped them, apologizing for the wait which honestly seemed totally fine. Speaking of appetizers- the crispy sweet potatoes were fantastic! I swear they had a hint of marshmallow-over-the-campfire to them. I had the 44 Farms filet which was excellent. Took just a minute to appreciate the chimichuri.

Overall a nice evening. For me, the atmosphere would’ve been nicer had it not been so brightly lit up. Several other nice areas in the hotel as well.

Such a great restaurant! We came for dinner on my bachelorette trip and it was amazing. We went on a Friday night at 7:30 and I will say that it was a little bit quieter than I was expecting, but not a bad thing! They weren’t busy at all.

AMAZING service! The manager was so kind and came to talk to our table. We all got different things and everyone loved their meals!!

I think this would be the perfect spot for a date night.

While nice and social the bartenders are not trained. For a bar this nice and price point the bartenders should know terminology like “up” or “built”. The bar across the street has better drinks and bartenders.

This place is so overrated. The food is average. We both had the filet, and it was flavorless. The service is slow and terrible. It was not even busy when we were up there. The bar is woefully small, and the bartender is not good. I paid 20 bucks for a very below average old fashioned. Spend your money elsewhere.

Great spot to catch a sunset with friends and enjoy a craft cocktail!

The views were great and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was cozy.

Service could have been better. We ordered appetizers and they took long to get us small plates for them. They also forgot an entree for one of us in the party and had to rush the order.

I don't live in Waco, but somehow ended up at this spot. The food and the atmosphere were great.

We were in town and saw the rooftop and thought how fun that would be for dinner. Little did we know the service from the entire staff would be excellent. Gabby is a beautiful person and brings her passion to please, her ability and explain different dishes and what to expect is genuine. We had fun with some signature cocktails, views from the rooftop and laughs in the restaurant. The theme from the roaring 30's is perfect. To be able to model and create the feel is magical. I want to dress in the era and come back. Fantastic evening. Thanks to the entire staff for a job well done.

The views and vibes are really what Bertie’s is all about. The food is well done but the menu is not super exciting. Service is still being figured out.

If you’re staying at the hotel it’s great for a standard night out (though Waco has lots of more exciting food options to offer). Locals this is worth it at least once for the experience. Would be cool to see them get a more unique chef / menu.

We got the mushroom risotto and the sea bass. Our waiter suggested adding crispy pancetta to the risotto and it definitely took it up a notch. The sauce on the sea bass was very tasty.

Brunch was a similar experience. My chicken biscuit with fries was good. Drinks are fine enough.

We definitely loved Bertie’s! Something to be aware of that may not be clear from the name is that the restaurant itself is indoor (top floor of the hotel), but there is an outdoor lounge area with a bar and fire pits with a view of the city that you can sit at before/after dinner. We got the Cowboy Caviar as an appetizer and it was fantastic - definitely coming back just for that! I got the salmon which was also delicious, and the Brussels sprouts it came with had an amazing sauce. My husband got the chicken and it was good, but not incredible. Our cocktails were delicious - not sure the names but their version of a French 75 and a bananas foster type drink. With the outdoor lounge area and the other areas throughout the hotel we will definitely be back both for dinner and enjoying the space!

What a beautiful place!
Everything we ordered was top notch, from the drinks to the desserts!
Bertie's has an avocado and apple cocktail that is a fantastic surprise.
We ordered the salmon, and the risotto and both were seasoned perfectly.
Our waitress Jeannie is divine! She made us feel at home and made sure that none of the dishes conflicted with my oh so annoying food allergies.
The only negatives I have are the restaurant can get a bit loud as there is very little to dampen sound (we had a table next to us at the beginning with a person whose voice could cut glass and were so happy when they left) and there was only one bathroom for the restaurant that I could find, and there was ALWAYS a line to it.
Overall my husband and I loved Bertie's.

First off, it's worth noting that you're not dining outside on the rooftop (slightly misleading name, but it's because they built an enclosed dining room on the roof). You CAN step outside from the dining area and be out on the rooftop lounge area / bar.

The service was fantastic. I had made a reservation online and checked a box to indicate it was to celebrate our anniversary. Upon arriving and checking in, the hostess congratulated us on our anniversary. She showed us to our table, and then our waitress came over and congratulated us. That alone felt special, but truly the whole night was awesome. Staff were very attentive, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Food was delicious, see pictures. We had the Texas Salsa, which is less of a traditional salsa and more of a "cowboy caviar" (just a wonderful selection of fresh things minced up and mixed). We also had the Chicken Paillard and the Cheesiest Cheeseburger for main entrees.

Atmosphere was classy and detailed, yet relaxing. Joanna & Chip Gaines really outdid themselves on this project. Waco really needed something like this!
