Cane is a cozy, intimate spot in DC offering "fantastic Trini/Caribbean food" with vibrant flavors and quick service. The jerk wings are "life-changing," and the oxtail and tiffin dishes are noteworthy. The restaurant's small size makes reservations a must. Friendly staff and a lively atmosphere enhance the dining experience.

I’d heard about Cane but hadn’t been just yet and I don’t know what I was waiting for. The jerk wings were falling clean off the bone, the oxtail was tender and the tiffin box was perfect level of flavor.

I can’t stress this enough - this place was AWESOME! If you’re not into spice though, maybe do something else

This is a cute place with a bit of a gourmet take on Trini food. Most of our dishes were very good. The pelau and escoveitch fish were the real stars. The jerk was perfectly spiced but a little overcooked. The oxtail was well spiced, had some crispiness and bite to it and served more like short rib . Although not traditional, very tasty. The drinks were excellent. The only disappointment was the crispy kale recommended by our server. Next time, I'm definitely trying the cabbage instead.

The food was delicious! We went for lunch and had the wings, beef patty, jerk wing bowl, and chicken parathi (I think). We also tried the rum punch. Everything was wonderful. Lots of flavor and cooked well. I enjoyed the fact that the rum punch wasn’t sickly sweet and went well with the food. I’ll absolutely be back to try other things on the menu and also for dinner.

Went for a work dinner and it was amazing! Our clients couldn’t stop talking about the food and my boss (who grew up in Jamaica) said it was the best food he’s had outside of Jamaica.
