Oxtail and pelau rice, get those and you'll be happy. Great portions albeit a bit pricey but absolutely delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful. Your hands will get dirty if you wanna grab all the goodies off the bone. The pelau was so much better than the regular coconut rice, def substitute for that. It was very tasty and complimented the oxtail well. One funny thing was that the food came within 5 mins of ordering which is wild (maybe they already had it made imo). For appetizers, we got the jerk wings and hops. The chicken had solid heat and was juicy, while the bread with their special butter was absorbing the spiciness from the wings. We both got the island life as our cocktails and it was refreshing (love me some mango flavor). For dessert we got the bread pudding and caramel flan. Both were great, and really helped complete the dinner. The vibes are pretty laid back, which I love. Our server was super nice, and pretty cool cause she had anime pins on her apron. And parking can be tough but I got lucky and found some on the side street. Would def recommend to go and have dinner here.

A small and cozy restaurant on historic H street serving up some delightful food! The servers are very kind, and the place is quite intimate. I ate alone, so I only had the chance to try the pepper pot and coconut cream flan. The pepper pot was so delicious, and the meats were all tender and fall-off-the-bone. Eaten with the coconut rice, this dish is so comforting and honestly what I needed after a long day. I was full halfway through this meal but I persevered to eat the flan. It felt so big for $8, but it was such a delight to eat. The coconut was not too strong, and the dessert as a whole was tame, wrapping up the meal perfectly. Such a wonderful meal, and I hope one day I can come back to DC to try the other things on this menu. A pricey meal, nearly $50 for just me, but what a treat it was to eat here!

I would have given them a 5 star review as our food was very good and the service was great. However I didn't like paying a 20% fair wage fee, which to me means I don't have to tip, (although I did) and the alcohol price was toooo much. We paid $44 in total for two margaritas. I could have added $10 and bought the bottle for that amount of money. Resturants are getting ridiculous and those two things alone will cause me not to come back.

Incredible! We came here after a concert. Hubby loves rum. I've always wanted to take him here, and it was close to the concert venue. Small, intimate setting. The food was amazing! Everything had so much flavor! The fish was absolutely my favorite. And the customer service was outstanding too. Next time, I have to save room for dessert!

I honestly cannot think of anything that made this dining experience less enjoyable than it was! As someone who is new to the DC area, I can say that I really enjoyed this restaurant. Located right next to an Ethiopian restaurant, it's in a cute area that's still easy to find. The establishment is smaller making it an intimate experience for a friend meetup, family dinner or date. We were immediately greeted upon entrance and showed to our table. Although on the smaller side, it wasn't cramped at all and the bar was wide open for seating! The service was amazing. The server was able to recommend drinks for our first time there and menu items!!! We had rum punches which was not traditional to what we're used to but we loved them! The cuisine is more Trinidadian inspired, which put a small spin on the traditional Caribbean cuisines I'm used to. We ordered jerk wings and hops for starters. For dinner I ordered the oxtails and my bestie ordered the Herbivore pepperpot. Everything was absolutely DELICIOUS! The pepperpot had steamed tomatoes that was amazing. The oxtails were tender and flavorful. Everything was packed full of flavor and didn't leave a nasty aftertaste. The hops were warm and soft tot the bite. The jerk wings were seasoned to perfection and tender. I will honestly be back! There is no way that I will dine here once and never come back. Can't wait!

Great food!!! Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon with friends for lunch. Great spot. Since it's on H Street the area is busy, so plan ahead as it may be tough to find parking. As with most storefront locations the space is small, so you may want to get on their waitlist via Yelp. They also offer carry out. The food is amazing. I had the Snapper and Coconut rice. My friend had the Oxtail and Palau. He commented how much meatier their oxtails are compared to other places he's been. The snapper was garnished with pickled peppers which just added to a great piece of fish (which I demolished). The food is clearly loved as the people coming in to pick up carry out was non stop. Plan ahead for parking and a potential wait, but it is 1000% worth it!!

Amazing food, great ambiance, quick service... add Cane to your list immediately! My friend and I went on a Friday night and didn't have to wait to be seated. You can choose to order via phone or with a server. The restaurant is pretty small but there was good music playing and overall a good vibe. If it's your first time, I recommend trying a little bit of everything. We got the personal herbivore paratha to share (you can get a family size one if you have a larger group), jerk wings, plantains, Trinidadian rice, and doubles! Truly it's hard to pick a favorite because everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and rich. I think the paratha and rice are definitely a must try though! For cocktails, I tried the cane fever which had a slight kick to it and my friend had the rum punch which definitely packed the rum. Overall, we had a great experience and I will definitely be visiting again soon!

**Service:** We visited Cane Trini during the H Street Festival with a group of 4 and were seated surprisingly quickly given the festival crowd. The restaurant is small but has a cozy, homey vibe with beautiful art on the walls. Ordering was convenient through a QR code, and we were able to start a tab. However, it would've been great if the waiter had offered some insights or recommendations on the menu. **Taste:** I ordered the buss up shut with chicken, and we shared doubles for the table. The food arrived in less than 10 minutes, which was both shocking and impressive! The presentation was on point, and the portions were filling. The flavors were authentic, and the chicken was well-seasoned. The doubles were a hit with the group--delicious and packed with flavor. **Ambiance:** The intimate space and vibrant artwork really give off a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Even during a busy festival, the restaurant maintained a calm and inviting feel. The quick service didn't sacrifice the quality of the food, and the reasonable prices make it a great value for the area. **Recommendation:** Cane Trini is a must-visit spot on H Street, especially for those craving authentic Caribbean flavors. The portions are generous, the food is flavorful, and the prices are fair. I'll definitely be back!
