    Eggs Benedict
    Elena S.

    Started 2026 with a lovely brunch, on New Year's Day. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable and one of our favorites. Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked. The cocktails were fabulous as well. I have no idea why this place has so much negativity in the reviews, but we have never had a bad meal here. This spot is consistently great and very much worth a visit. Happy New Year!

    Itemized receipt showing 20% gratuity already included.

    Watch your money at the bar here. I stayed here for a wedding weekend and had multiple issues with gratuity/billing at the bar. One night I handed the bartender $40 cash for a roughly $30 tab and never received any change back. The following night I closed out a card tab and the receipt I signed showed $0 tip, so I left additional cash gratuity. Only after requesting an itemized receipt later did I find that a 20% gratuity had already been included in the charge, but it was not reflected on the receipt I signed (very shady). It ultimately took over a month and multiple follow-ups to get refunded. Just be careful and always ask for an itemized receipt before tipping.

    Nice sports bar like place in the same building as Embassy Suite hotel, I was there for a meeting so I got to try this restaurant. I got unsweeten ice tea and cheese burger with salad on the side. It was juicy burger and salad was fresh. I recommend this place a try, if you are staying or there for a meeting/wedding at this Embassy Suite. TV everywhere and nice relaxing place. Service was nice as well.

    Always have great service here. The lobster roll is my favorite. I have tried the red sangria and the watermelon sugar drink. Watermelon sugar was the best. The duck fat potatoes are amazing again a bit heavy for my taste. The location is very calming and relaxed. They have a board that changes with catchy sayings love it. Parking is easy as it's situated in the embassy suites hotel.

    Huevos Rancheros
    Stacey G.

    Had a very nice Mother's Day brunch. We have been here a couple of times and this was the best one yet. The food and service were excellent. I ordered the huevos rancheros which was very good! The menu says it comes with salsa roja and it didn't come with that. We also ordered the French toast to share - the menu doesn't provide any details or explain that it is coated in cereal and served with blueberry compote. We were debating between a couple dishes to share -- I'm glad we went with the French toast, it was very good!

    Kid's pepperoni pizza
    Ernie C.

    After years of saying we should try Grain & Cane, the spirit finally moved us and we went with our kids for an early bird dinner. Though it's in a hotel, you'd be hard pressed to realize it once you're in the restaurant. The ambience and design is that of a very smart casual, new American restaurant. My kids loved the old school train station-like message board that would flip every so often above the bar. My Mediterranean Salad with an added piece of salmon was delicious. The addition of hummus and pesto were a nice touch and really rounded out the flavors. My wife enjoyed her lobster roll as well. The kids menu isn't printed, which frankly is annoying, especially when it turns out that a kid's pepperoni pizza is $19!!! While the pizza was huge and delicious, I wouldn't necessarily call it a kids meal. The restaurant uses a homemade 24-hour fermented dough that gives the crust a slight tang. Great for adults, not quite as appealing to a 6 year old. Our server did a great job with refills, but made a few mistakes with our order. That said, he was always friendly and well-intentioned. I'm glad we tried Grain & Cane. I probably wouldn't rush back, but there's nothing wrong with it either.

    Grain & Cane is attached to a hotel so there is plenty of parking in the lot. We had reservations for opening time and were promptly greeted. It slowly started filling up with patrons for the lunch hour. Our waitress was prompt and made sure to frequently check up on us. We went with the lunch express that was a choice of sandwich and salad with dessert. Everything was good, the fried chicken sandwich was a little on the dry side. Otherwise a good place to catch a quick bite and enjoy the decor and changing message board.

    French Onion Soup
    Rick R.

    I was traveling for work and met colleagues here for happy hour and dinner. I really liked the decor and overall vibe. It's connected to the Embassy Suites hotel, so it's a great option for hotel guests and visitors of nearby business parks. I started with the French Onion soup, which was loaded with onions and had a good amount of gruyere. The broth wasn't among the most flavorful I've had for French Onion but also was not bland. There were a couple of pieces of bay leaf in it, which was unusual and annoying to remove from my mouth. The Lobster Roll was small compared to all others I've had, but it was really good with a sufficient amount of butter-poached lobster meat in a soft, buttery split-top roll. It was served with hand-cut fries that seemed to be fried a couple of times as they were crispy and also dark, which is typically the result of cooking in heavily used oil. For dessert, I ordered the Grilled Chocolate Cake because it was so unique! The cake wasn't warm, but it did have a charred flavor, which seemed to work well with the chocolate. I would try their other desserts before I went back to this one. The service was solid. Our server was an older gentleman that wasn't outgoing or friendly but was efficient and accommodating. Good food at a good value.

    Roasted Salmon Bowl
    Edita G.

    Met for a lunch with my friend on a Saturday afternoon. This is part of a new trendy hotel in a fairly industrial area / park, away from road and noise,with ample parking. We had very attentive server and tried a variety of foods,along with really good cocktails. Food was so good I forgot to take pictures of all of it,but definitely captured their excuisite looking bar with "train station" vibes (you'll know why once you're there,just look up!). We each had french onion soups, salmon bowls and cocktails (blood orange spritz and tamarita)- all top notch! Price is somewhat more than other lunch places,but I'd say it's a tad more upscale,so no surprises there. I'll be back!

    I was looking for a well rated Italian restaurant in Union County and Lupa Ristorante came up on…read moremany lists so I decided to check it out with friends. Lupa is located in a section of Berkely Heights that has seen a lot of recent construction, so it is very pretty and clean. You couldn't be blamed if you bypassed the restaurant. It is not very flashy looking and that is part of its charm. Be warned, there are not a lot of parking spaces behind the restaurant so you may wind up parking in the bank parking lot next to it (when the bank is closed of course). The staff at Lupa is super friendly and treats you like a regular even if this is your first time. The host was super nice, the waitress fantastic and the chef even came to our table to talk to us when we were done eating! The interior is very clean and modern looking. It's elegant and perfect for virtually any event including dates, anniversaries and family get togethers. We wound up sitting in the same area as the bar, which mostly has 2-4 seater tables and of course you can sit at the bar as well. The other side of the restaurant is where the larger tables are located. Here's a rundown of what we had: CLAMS ON TOAST Baby clams. crispy ham. thyme When I ordered this, I expected to see slices of toast with crispy ham and baby clams on top. Instead, it is two large pieces of wonderfully toasted bread with crispy ham on top. The actual clams sit in a *delicious* broth. Taken altogether these various components form a delicious bite. Be sure to dip that bread into the broth! SQUID INK SPAGHETTI lobster knuckles and claws. broccoli florets. grape tomatoes. Sherry Cream Sauce This dish has a wonderfully deep and earthy flavor. I've had squid ink pasta before and this was a wonderful example of it. The sauce was perfect and it was cooked beautifully. HANGER STEAK Truffled pomme frites. Chimichurri The steak was beautifully cooked (we had it medium rare) and the chimichurri sauce was great. However, the steak needed a bit more salt (and I'm not usually one to add salt to food). The pomme frites were wonderfully crispy and tasty. BROCCOLI RABE lemon. Kilos Broccoli rabe is a simple side dish but it is one of my favorites. It is also one that can easily be overcooked.

When I told him I was not happy he told me that I should take it to yelp and write a review if that's what I felt like I needed to do. So here it is. Hands-down the worst sandwiches I've ever had. Definitely has gone down hill. If there are three customers in your store and there's five people working the very least you could do is make a decent sandwich. I will not be returning to Goodmans. I do not recommend it. The place is empty, dingy, and the food was garbage.
