The Room
Peter Prime opened Cane on H Street in 2018 — a Trinidadian-American chef-driven Caribbean dining room. The James Beard Foundation has shortlisted Prime for Best Chef Mid-Atlantic.
Eater DC has held Cane on its top-H-Street rankings every year of operation.
The Food
The doubles programme — Trinidadian curried-chickpea sandwiches on bara — is the menu's calling card. The roti, the seasonal-rotating Caribbean preparations, the Trinidadian curries handle the menu's wider draws.
Rum programme is one of DC's deepest. Cocktails are tropical-classic.
Best Occasion Fit
First Date: The bar at Cane is a casual H Street first-date alternative.
Solo Dining: The bar at Cane is a quiet H Street solo-dining seat.
Birthday: Birthdays at Cane are warm, Caribbean-led affairs the room handles with seven years of practice.
