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. Vintage art and antique photographs from past Connell generations set a backdrop for a convivial atmosphere – a restaurant and bar ideal for a range of experiences, from casual occasions to magnetic celebrations. We invite you to gather around our modern table, as extended family reveling in a shared history. We hope you’ll raise a glass with us soon.

    Our waiter was excellent. The noise level is quite high. We shared a Margarita pizza - half of which was burned. We should have sent it back. Our waiter offered to bring us dessert. We declined since our day started out very early. Overall, we would not recommend this restaurant - just our waiter.

    We liked the atmosphere of the restaurant. Presentation and quality of the food is very good. A bit on the pricey side though. Cocktails choices are good but big city pricing...$15 - $17. Menu entre choices are not particularly special but I do recommend the lobster roll. Fresh, large chunks of lobster. We shared 2 different desserts and those were decadent and large portions. One small problem is the construction happening on the properties. It is a little difficult to maneuver the first time you go there. Signs would help! Don't let that stop you from trying this restaurant.

    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!
