Grand Cafe
Fine old school dining that simply does not exist other then in NYC or Paris! Fair price for the quality. The staff are VERY professionals who h ave been doing this for an avg of 25 years! A must go if your in the area, or even not, its worth the trip!
========================================
Grand Cafe is an overlooked jewel. Stop searching for the hippest nouvelle and enjoy truly great cooking, in an incredibly beautiful setting, with quite simply better service I’ve ever experienced in Manhattan or Europe. Never fail to order the restaurant-made smoked salmon

Wonderful dining experience. Professional service, excellent food! A few classic dishes, but also some very innovative dishes, try the lobster salad app and the Tuna entree. The decor is historic. Mahogany and oak with several private rooms that you should just ask to see. Its not cheap, but the value is there, no $9.00 baked potato etc. Wine list is impressive, you can go deep, but there is also a lot of reasonable choices. We will go back.
========================================
One of the last outposts of civility. Grand is what it is; classy and polished; best service in New Jersey with Walter the catering manager and Kevin the maitre d’. Gorgeously decorated during the holidays, and warmed by the piano player on the weekends. Terrific smoked salmon, pork chops, among others. Nicely balanced wine list to cater to different pocketbooks.

Why go anywhere else

Finally I found a restaurant that gets it. Excellent food, beautiful setting, professional service. My business brings me to restaurants all over the US and Europe, and The Grand Cafe is second to none. I was told about this place by a business associate. When I walked in I thought it was a new restaurant, I was surprised to see they have been in business for 26 years! Many of the same emploees from day one, that says something. I brought clients here who ended up bringing in thier wives a few weeks later. The maitre d’ remembered them and treated them like gold, which has helped me tremendously. If you have an important business meeting and want to ensure its success, go to The Grand Cafe, if you want to impress friends, go to The Grand Cafe. Try the warm lobster salad app. its a one of a kind, also the sauteed veal entree, the rackof lamb, or if they have it the dover sole (they do it right, not like some other spots) and you must have a soufle for dessert.
Professional service, excellent food, beautiful setting
