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.

    When we arrived, we were seated outside, which had not been requested on my reservation. It was windy and not the best. The hostess did find a round table for us inside which was great and accommodated our party which included a baby. Service was superb. Very attentive and cordial waiter. Food was good. I had the "purple rain" pancakes which were supposedly healthier than regular pancakes, but were on the dry side and very heavy. The rest of the party seemed to enjoy their meals.

    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.
