We stumbled upon Cane & Table last year by accident - what a cute place with a serious menu. Not only will you find James Beard award winning cocktails but the service is best in class. Pina Coladas aren't usually my brand, but damn Gina...these are good! Hand blended and elevated to creamy perfection (hafta recommend the extra rum floater on top). We tried a Toffee & Tequila drink because the flavor combination won our curiosity (it tasted like an espresso drink which I don't enjoy) but we sure liked the thought. She switched to an off-menu drink the server recommended called a Saturn which was quickly emptied. I had a few bourbon & rum cocktails called the Fancy Bombo - and those got me right. We only wanted a couple of shareable small plates to hold us over so we tried the Crab Croquetas and corn tamal. The croquetas were had a crunchy fried exterior and cheesey crab goodness within. I could've eaten about 82 of them if we didn't have dinner reservations elsewhere a few hours later. The corn tamal was a polenta disc topped with so much deliciousness that had me considering cancelling my other reservations. As good as the food & drink are - the service really seals the deal. Everyone in the place is a foodie and exudes a level of sophistication when you inquire about anything. The staff is quick to engage, explain and recommend when called upon. There is a vibe here that will keep me coming back for more. I will just put this out there for those that may need it (and you know who you are) - if you are intolerant of different lifestyles, sexualities and flamboyance...this IS NOT a place you may care for. Many of the staff is diverse and LGBQT adjacent/forward. Don't misunderstand, this is not a place advertised as anything for a certain type of person or group, but if these things make you uncomfortable - don't ruin it for those of us that support all diversity. read more

Good, but pricey food. It's definitely a spot for a nicer or more romantic dinner. If you're a picky eater, I'd recommend looking at the menu ahead of time. I only had one or two options that appealed to me. I ordered the steak frites, and it was delicious. My drink was great as well. Our server was friendly and even gave us complimentary shots for my friend's bachelorette, which was a fun touch. The only downside was that there was just one single, gender neutral bathroom for the entire restaurant, which felt a little odd and could be inconvenient if it's busy. Overall it was a good experience. read more

A restaurant who takes a reservation for 1 at the bar with superb bartenders and an equally impressive kitchen? Five stars. The fish rundown was just what I needed after a long day of jazz fest. Fresh, yet decadent. The bartender described it as a warm hug and that somehow nails this curry red drum dish which was extravagantly topped with crawfish. Paired with a Hurricane, it was quintessential - new New Orleans. No, not a typo. Cane & Table is at the forefront of modern decadent dining you can't find everywhere in the US. It's uniquely New Orleans, but today's New Orleans. I thoroughly enjoyed my entree and then was handed a dessert list that had a cocktail pairing?! Yes, please. Sign me up for both. Five stars. Thank you! read more

We really like this place and I've been there a few times over the years. The sweet corn tamale app was phenomenal. We also liked the crawfish croquettes. I think we had a avocado salad, but maybe confusing that with another restaurant. The cold shrimp with tomatoes and cucumbers, were served with fried saltines, which go well with everything (great food delivery vehicle). We also have the fish and the shrimp entrées, which were both excellent. Drinks were decent and we enjoyed sitting in the open air courtyard, which I would recommend if you can get a seat out there. read more

A cozy little place in the French Quarter with excellent food, cocktails and service. The FQ has a lot of mediocre (to very poor) restaurants that are nothing more than tourist traps... this in not one of those places. The tapas-like appetizers were Flavorful and the fish with rice and curry sauce entree was delicious. The ambience is dark and a little gritty In a good way. If you can.... I recommend eating in the first floor dining room rather than the second floor. read more

Easily my favorite meal in New Orleans. The vibe, food, and service were all amazing. Favs were the crab croquetas (small plate), and the drum curry dish (main). Honestly a must-go spot. read more

Beautiful outdoor dining experience. I came with a large group of co-workers. We ordered nearly the whole menu, including dessert, and literally everything was excellent. I had the hurricane cocktail, and it was yummy and strong. Our server was helpful and laid back, even when we had to do some last-minute splitting of the bill. Thanks for a memorable meal! read more

Worth it in every way. This is the authentic French Quarter restaurant experience. Super friendly servers. Authentic interior and courtyard spaces. And the food is top notch and mouth watering. I've been here many, many times and always walk away super impressed. In fact, when a friend asks for a recommendation in The Quarter this is one of my top 3. Right now there's some construction on the street out front but it is 100% worth the effort to seek this place out. You will remember this meal for a long time. It's that place. read more

This place was recommended by a friend, we went with a party of 4. The food was pretty good, but not incredible. The drinks were a bit high priced for the area and in very small servings. There weren't a ton of patrons when we were dining and the service still came across as slow. Our server was very kind although oddly dressed (gym shorts and a white cropped tank with no bra) for the caliber of restaurant I inferred this to be from the price point. read more

Love Cane and Table. The food is absolutely incredible, drinks are fantastic, and the service is the best part. Jake and Jordan went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Such a fun ambiance, they are pros. Thank you! We'll be back for sure every time we're in New Orleans! read more

As locals it had been a while since we were back at Cane and Table and the food was as creative and on point as we remember. However the server was another story. When we were seated the host kindly told us an automatic 20% would be added to the bill. Normally that is not an issue for us as we usually tip a minimum of 20% for fair service. However our server Lisa O clearly had an attitude. While ordering our drinks and appetizers we were clearly pressured to order our main courses even though we were not ready. We then hurried to comply. Then twice while eating our appetizers when it was obvious we were not finished or server asked if we were dine and stayed she was not trying to rush us which in fact she clearly did. Then halfway through our main courses I ordered another cocktail and a glass of wine for my wife. She waited to finish her dinner until the wine arrived and when it did not after a reasonable amount of time and I do mean reasonable, she asked the served to cancel the glass of wine and she did so in a dismissive manner. The worst part was when the bill arrived. The charge for the glass of wine was from removed but it was removed as a discount with the 20% service charge applied to the cancelled wine charge. When we pointed this out to the servrr there was no apology and within seconds she brought the correct bill and just about threw it on the table without saying a word. Again good was very very good but the attitude of our server was a big downer on what would have been an enjoyable evening. read more

We went to Cane and Table for the official graduation dinner. When I reviewed the menu, I was not very excited about going but this is where the graduate picked. I was WRONG! The food here was unbelievable. We shared a number of appetizers with the highlight being the brussels sprouts - they were the hit of the night. I had the pork ribeye for dinner and it was perfect. I did not need a knife, it was fall apart tender and so flavorful. The cocktails were amazing as was the service. We were able to sit outside (again not much of a sit outside person) but this was a perfect little courtyard, they weather was perfect and the cats hanging out on the patio were chill and really could not be bothered with any of us. This place was a great surprise to me as I was just not looking forward to it but it surprised me greatly. read more

Ambiance: Came here on a weekend and was surprised to see a cocktail bar closing at 10pm every night. They have a small but enjoyable list of cocktails featuring bright and tropical flavors. The bar tenders were friendly and our drinks came out in a timely fashion. Drinks: Despite all the tropical flavors, the cocktails were well-balanced and skewed on the side of being alcohol-forward. Nothing was cloyingly sweet or too froufrou despite how it looked the menu. We had a few cocktails but the Which Ube U Be was the crowd favorite since the ube root added a nice creamy sweetness you don't often see in a cocktail and we felt it was the one we'd have a hard time finding at any other bar. Overall this place is a solid banger for cocktails. The drinks are fun, creative, and not overly expensive. My only wish was that this place stayed open later so we could stay here longer. Will stop back the next time i'm in town to try the food! read more

I ordered the ribs, and they were so soaked in vinegar that they were not palatable. There was slaw on top that was vinegar based, but the ribs also had vinegar added. Another person in our party decided to try them. When we talked to the server about them, we were told they were inspired by Carolina style sauces. When we said that it was too much, we were kinda blown off. The Fish Rundown was good. ZARZUELA DE MARISCOS was also good. Overall it was good, not great. Too many really great choices in NOLA for mediocrity. read more

Definitely more of a bar place for drinks vs. restaurant for food although they do have a wide selection of food items as well (they've been voted to have the best cocktails in all of Nola multiple times!) cocktails were very strong - none of that "wait did they accidentally serve me the mocktail version?" and blend of flavors were so unique! Not big drinks people though so idk what else to say lol Food! Plating was so beautiful but food was just ok - nothing special I did think a couple items that we ordered were too greasy esp the seasonal mushroom toast which we couldn't even finish because it was just way too heavy (think cream cheese on olive oil soaked bread with garlic butter mushrooms - fat on fat on fat u know?) The plantains were also too charred (esp for us Asians ) but it was low key all burnt... IG: Spillingthe.table read more

Man oh man, this is my stop in upon arrival in NOLA. The fish and grits were astounding. Upon arrival the vibe was on, music and vibe was A+ Once I sat to dine and had my first bite I understood the confidence I felt walking in. Our waiter was kind and knowledgeable, he had the perfect amount of chatter and really charmed our table. From the bar I had 2 drinks off the menu, the hurricane and another I can't remember the name of but it was based on African diasporic flavors and was delicious! Stop in. read more

This was our last stop on our food and booze tour. We were seated in a back outdoor courtyard. We had fried plantains and pork cracklings with a daiquiri. The plantains had this deep dark burnt ends look to them. A red Macha sauce and crema were on the bottom of the plate with a stack of fried plantains. The dish was really pretty and it tasted just as good as it looked. The cracklings were fried crispy pig skin, curry seasoned and finished with a cane sugar drizzle. The drizzle with seasoning was a great combination. The soft creamy plantains and the super crispy cracklings were a great pairing. The daiquiri was rum, sugar and lime juice. It was served in a cute coupe style glass. Everyone at are table thought it reminded us of a margarita with rum and an unsalted rim. We definitely want to come back and try more items. Everything here was exceptional. read more

What a great option while in the French Quarter. Luckily we made a reservation since it was pretty busy, even for a week night, and the staff was great. They have a lot of fun local options on the menu and extensive drink options as well. The server was great at answering our questions and giving us suggestions. We tried a handful of different things and all of it was great. They have a nice outdoor space but it was a little hot for us so we sat inside and it was dark with candlelights, definitely a cool space but a little loud. read more

A very cute and trendy little spot, I must say. A local suggested going to this little Caribbean spot, which was different than all of the Cajun/creole places we had visited, so it was a different flavor profile break (still very good!) First and foremost, my friend and I weren't too hungry, but still wanted to try items off the menu. I got the frozen piña colada inside of a coconut with the floating rum. It was refreshing with the right amount of alcohol, as well as aesthetically pleasing. My friend wasn't sure what she wanted, and after telling the waiter she liked mezcal, he suggested a mezcal margarita (which was not on the menu), so that was so lovely of him to do that! For food, we just did the crab croquetas and salad. The croquetas were elite. So flavorful. The salad was also a 10/10 despite it being a little on the simple side (because it was a salad), but the taste was elevated. I wanted to try the shrimp cocktail, octopus, brussel sprouts and ribs (half the menu, essentially), but I was afraid we wouldn't be able to finish it and we had so much piling up at our hotel fridge. I loved the interior, but if you could withstand the heat, the patio is also a great space. Also! The menu happens to change, so keep that in mind if you're looking at photos on Yelp. read more

This is one of my favorite spots for an amazing well-balanced cocktail. While it is in the heart of the hustle and bustle of French Quarter it is an oasis of refined Caribbean class. Serving a wide range of Proto-tiki cocktails and top Notch food. You can't go wrong at Cane and Table. Service is always stellar. If you need a respite from the craziness of the Quarter-you will find it here. read more

A bit over priced for what you get. The food was just ok. Brussels sprouts were the best thing we had. The arroz con pollo although tasty was not the traditional one (it literally rice with chicken pieces on top). And the fish curry was kind of bland. This place does not have any hot drinks (not even hot water). Place was quiet inside but I think there's better spots to dine in the area. Plus there's an up front 20% service fee. read more

We came for drinks at the beginning of our trip as we were making our way through the French Quarter and ended up coming back two days later for snacks on their lunch menu (and more drinks).

Drinks: 10/10- loved the classic mai tai and not too sweet. Husband got the frozen Paloma which was SO good (and strong). Starter- Coctel de Camarones- like a smoky, creamy shrimp ceviche, served with fried saltines which were still hot. This dish will live in infamy in my heart- don't skip it!!!! Entrees- steak coulotte. This was good not great. Husband got the fish rundown which was outstanding- lots of seafood and umptious coconut flavor. Dessert- flan. OMG, unreal. My husband "hates" flan but couldn't stop eating this. Like a custardy cheesecake, I enjoyed the texture, a bit firmer than what I usually experience with a flan. Ambiance- beautiful courtyard, totally added to the vibe. I would come back any time. Wonderful meal and dining experience. read more

This is a cute little bar tucked in the French Quarter with a nice outdoor patio. We stopped in for some cold drinks after wandering outside in the June heat. I got the Frozen Paloma and my fiancé got the Hurricane & Table. Both drinks were awesome and refreshing, although quite strong in my opinion. We also got the Yucca fries and those were great! I wasn't sure what to expect as I have never had Yucca but these exceeded my expectations. They held their shape and could pass for a thick cut potato fry. The chimichurri sauce was yummy. I would definitely come back during my next visit to NOLA to try more of the drink menu (the dinner menu looked appealing too!) read more

Cute little eatery on Royal street just a block away from the French market. We made a reservation a week in advance for NYE and we were pleasantly surprised. The hostess was very nice and led us to our table outside where we promptly met the two house cats. Our server ran us through the specials and shared his recommendations. We enjoyed the plantains, Brussels sprouts, arroz con pollo and the agnolotti special. This was more than enough food for the two of us as everything is well portioned. We also sipped on some tasty beverages including a Mai tai and a NA lemonade. Overall would recommend if you are visiting New Orleans and looking for some Caribbean flavors. read more

Great vibes. We had a Monday night dinner here with a huge group but was able to get tables outside. The food was really interesting. Lots of Caribbean vibes and flavors. The fish rundown was hands down the best thing I ate. We got a salad to balance out everything. The octopus also had great yummy flavors. The green banana cocktail I had tasted like a less sweet mojito which I'm not mad about. read more

Very solid. We were able to get a somewhat last-minute reservation here for dinner on a Sunday. I thought the food was very good. The best thing we had of all was the crab croquetas. The crispy ribs and fish rundown were both very good. The crispy pork skins were skippable. Drinks are exactly what you'd expect -- fun, strong, and creative, but trending toward too sweet. The atmosphere is fun. Primary questions would be prices and service. They give fair warning that they automatically include a 20% service surcharge, but the prices are high enough that I actually thought at first that they meant service was included. This is a high end meal price-wise, but I'm not sure the experience warranted it. They seemed understaffed, and the food was good but not great. read more

No class. Food was mediocre and the service was subpar. At least there was a cat on the premises, unless you're a dog fan. I was told to get their hurricane. It did not meet expectations. And the Tuna Tostada needed some flavor, maybe something called salt. I guess I could have been persuaded to give it two stars, but I wanted to try a different cocktail and the server took a holiday or anniversary celebration and we never saw her again. Go to Brennan's instead for superior food and service. read more

We had brunch and it was wonderful. Patio had a very pleasant vibe and restrooms were spotless. Wife had a Bloody Mary which was spectacular and tasty if not very strong. See pic. I had a screwdriver which was meh. Started with plantains which were delicious. Wonderful. We also had Brussels and potatoes with an egg on top which was divine. I had the Cubano sandwich. It was not what I expected, being essentially a burger, but it was very very good. Crispy onions on top for added texture were really nice. Food here was prepared with real care. Well seasoned and looked fantastic. Thoughtful creations with superb ingredients. Service was very good. $88 is a bit much for breakfast. But for a really excellent meal and dining experience in the heart of the FQ? I think it was great value. read more

Atmosphere is romantic (especially on outdoor back patio) w/island flair & strung lighting adding to the mood. The service was relaxed and friendly although dishes come as they are prepared despite a request for pacing. The food is inspired by Cuban island flavors and does not disappoint. Highly recommended for a romantic evening out if looking for something other than typical New Orleanian fare. read more

Sat at the bar. All of the bartenders were friendly. The one that served us was very informative and talked us through the drink menu. We had researched and found a picture of a drink that we were interested in, but found out it was no longer on menu. Our bartender prepared the drink anyway! The food: We had the Grilled Octopus, Sweet Plantains, and Fish Rundown. All were very good. The taste of plantains and grilled octopus were very surprising. The fish in the rundown was cooked to a crispy perfection. The rundown had more of an Indian flavor than Caribbean to me. The music and dimly lit bar created a great ambiance. Would definitely recommend checking out this place! read more

Excellent service, very good food served quickly and with a friendly attitude. 20% service gratuity disclosed up-front, which is the way it should be done. Server made excellent suggestions, kept us watered, heard and immediately rushed over a fork when we dropped one (despite the restaurant being fairly noisy at the time). Cocktail: their take on a hurricane. Good, but not remarkable. Appetizers: crispy Brussels sprouts were more crunchy than crispy... much firmer and less roasted than expected, but still very tasty with a nice sauce and very generous portions. Heirloom tomatoes with onion, avocado and heart of palm were a nice contrast to the Brussels sprouts. Mains: Fried drum over jasmine rice and a tomatoey, medium heat curry sauce was well prepared. Could've used a vegetable like bell pepper, but was tasty. Coulotte steak was perfectly trimmed and seasoned, extremely flavorful (rivaling a good hanger steak) and exactly the requested temperature. Dessert: flan was thick, a little cheesecakey, and sprinkled with a little finishing salt -- an excellent addition I had never encountered before, giving it a salted caramel bite. Superb. Highly recommended. read more

Great ambiance, food and attentive service. The patio in the back looks cute too but we sat inside. Came on a weeknight for dinner with a large group without a reservation. We were seated right away. We all ordered their monthly charity drink special. It was a pineapple cocktail in November. Quite tasty. We shared a lot of small bites and were too full to order a main entree. Everything was delicious. The flan was really good. They sprinkle sea salt on top to bring out the flavor. The flan texture was nice and smooth, free of bubbles. I hate spongy flan. We ordered the brussel sprouts, crab croquetas, pork skins and plantains. Everything was delicious. I couldn't stop eating the chicharrones drizzled with a sweet sauce. Adding Cane and Table to my NOLA eats list! read more

We stopped in Nola for a very short visit. My partner had been here before and thought it was worth going back. Cane & Table is definitely serving up delicious food and wonderful cocktails.

I highly recommend stopping in and giving this place a try!! read more
