Grain & Cane - Bar & Table is your home for hospitality in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. An homage to family nostalgia, our neighborhood table is built on the Connell legacy, as leading American rice and sugar cane purveyors and community idealists. Our menu features dishes that nod to family tradition, regional flare, and vibrant flavors, such as seasonal cocktails, our famous Grover Double Burger and Shrimp Tostada. Strong roots and dynamic character serve as the blueprint for a thoughtful selection of craft beers, wine, and cocktails.

    I've been here a few times and this was the first time, I felt our entrees were just OK, not fantastic. Two people in my table ordered the French Dip sandwich, but when it arrived, it was not hot. The Salmon dish I ordered, I asked if it could be closer to the Rare side, but it was not, a bit dry. My friend that ordered the burger, did love his meal as well as the Duck Fat potatoes. My other friend that ordered the Risotto and was also pleased, so I guess it just depends on what you order. The Bread Pudding was delicious as well as the Calamari and the Spinach artichoke dip. I would still recommend this place, and I did want to give it a four star rating, but I couldn't based on 3 dishes we ordered for entrees, but I would say my experience was more like 3.5, but I would still recommend this restaurant.

    Overall, great experience - food came out warm not hot but I think because they were waiting for my party’s other dishes. Server was great, friendly and hospitable! Meatballs appetizer & spinach/artichoke dip was delicious!! And creative cocktails (and mocktails)! Definitely will be back!

    Actually saw advertisement about Grain and Cane on the side of the road while driving! Then started seeing posts on instagram about the restaurant! Made reservations for Friday date night with my love! We arrived early! Sat at the bar! It was still happy hour! Cheers! Omg! The most comfortable bar stools ever! I am serious! Cocktail was great! Rhuby Rose! Cheers Love the quotes that kept changing at the bar on a huge screen! Very creative! Hubby and I were seating with full view of the kitchen! Well organized! Staff meticulously garnished each entree! Staff was wonderful, attentive. Knew menu well, made recommendations! My entree was AMAZING‼️ Scallop risotto with colorful heirloom cauliflower! So many flavors and texture!! Absolutely love it! Hubby enjoyed the pork chop. Various sauces to pick from! Fries tasty- stole a few! Hubby doesn’t mind! OMG!! I will come back just the the toffee brioche bread pudding!! Served warm- outside toasty and crispy, inside moist and flavorful!! Toffee and ice cream perfect toppings! Definitely will return! Highly recommend! We did make reservations! Plenty of parking on site. Restrooms clean. Indoor and patio seating available. Restaurant located with the Embassy Suites Beautiful lobby area!

    Food was not very good. Onion soup was nice, Turkey Club was not good - cold soggy bacon and what seemed like supermarket deli turkey, not cooked by the restaurant. Burger was pretty greasy and neither of us liked the side potato chips. Mock pina colada was very good. Not worth $80+, overall. Would go back for the bar but not the food.

    Dear Steven, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed our mock pina colada and the bar atmosphere, although it's disappointing that our food didn't meet your expectations. Your comments are greatly appreciated and will be shared with the team to inform efforts to improve. We hope to welcome you back for a better dining experience next time!

    We booked for Easter Brunch 11:30am reservation two months ago, checkin process was slow, we were escort to our table right next to the high traffic service station. We had two little kiddos, the restaurant was 15% full. Why did we get the worst table when there were so many other tables available?! I asked if we can have the other tables in the restaurant because they were available and we were there already, they said because you didn’t have a reservation!!! So the hostess and receptionist had a disconnect… The food was very bland. Cocktails were poor…

    The service was subpar but the food and drinks were excellent. It’s a bit overpriced but not unexpected for a hotel bar/restaurant.
