Embrace Restaurant 543 Berlin - Cross Keys Road, Gloucester Township, NJ 08081

"Off the strip, good location with plenty of plaza (shopping center) parking. Look for Acme and you're there. We walked in at 11:30ish to an impressive jazz atmosphere! We were greeted with smiles & given great service by Erynne. Every question we asked her, she sought the answer. I think she was new and just learning her way with the menu. We only tried 3 different plates, catfish & grits ($14.76), whiting & grits($14.76) and a short stack of (3) pancakes ($9.76). The results were: One of the best fried catfish & whiting offerings I've ever enjoyed. We split our fish to enjoy the variety. Hubby enjoyed the well seasoned grits. We did find the small serving pan/skillet a little challenging to get to the fish easily. I'm glad we ordered the pancakes as our dishes did not include any bread. Perhaps cornbread, muffin or garlic bread included with the dish, would have been so awesome and enhance the meal even more. I found the pancakes a little too "tough" for my taste, I just love a more delicate, fluffy mix. After viewing images from other reviews, I asked for no powder as we don't require the extra sugar. I was told they were out of sugar free syrup...bummer. We wanted to take home a pumpkin cheesecake slice but were told they were out. Perhaps next time, as it looked so delicious from the picture on the menu. Our compliments to Chef Alex on his beautiful, clean, restaurant! It was a pleasure to have the opportunity of meeting you and conversing with you. We wish you much success and we will be back to enjoy lunch/dinner soon!"

"This food was great we also got to meet the chef. This place is beautiful and really feels like royalty. I got the chicken and waffles and man 10/10 I’m surprised this place isn’t packed. Really recommend!!"

"The atmosphere and the ambiance of the place was great, clean, organized and nicely decorated. The service was great and the staff is really nice! For me, the breakfast was a 4/5, I would try again for lunch and dinner."

"So happy to have finally been able to experience Embrace. The food was tasty and the ambiance was even better! Excellent customer service as well. My husband and I went for a late breakfast on a weekday. It was so enjoyable and I highly recommend. It’s nice to have a place like this in the neighborhood."
