Best Casual Restaurants in H Street Corridor

The food was lovely, if a bit uneven. The deboned roasted Sea Bass was tasty with two sauces (brown butter and black pepper) were perfect, but the cockles were tiny. Drinks were not fancy but of good value. Service was outstanding our server Ebon made us feel pampered.

Wonderful & delicious dining experience! Shared the veggie sampler and the beef & chicken sampler - highly recommend both! Honey wine was incredible. Very happy that I chose this restaurant for Valentine's Day dinner!

One of the best restaurants in DC. Great food, perfect portions, good wine list, and great pacing of the meal. The calamari is fresh and flavorful. We split a Caesar Salad, and it came out on two separate plates, which was nice. I got the Chicken Parmesan, and my wife got a Seafood pasta dish. We both loved our entrees. We ended with an Oreo Cheesecake that was also delicious! The server didn't make eye contact with me at all, only my wife which was weird. Other than that it was an amazing experience!

My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Chef Lee, who was incredibly kind and took the time to personally greet everyone. The staff were just as welcoming, demonstrating excellent communication and attentiveness. The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between modern elegance and cozy warmth. The course meal exceeded all expectations—each dish was thoughtfully designed with exceptional taste, creativity, and a seamless flow of service. The alcohol pairing was also expertly curated, enhancing the overall experience. What stood out most was Chef Lee’s dedication to sustainability in his restaurant. I recommend visiting the website prior to your visit to understand his intent with the non-profit org. His vision is truly inspiring, and I deeply respect his ambition. Highly recommended to everyone. - Isaac

Cane is a small, cozy but comfortable restaurant in the up and coming NE Washington DC area. The staff was very polite and accommodating and answered all of their guests questions on the menu. Once we made our orders the food arrived so quickly that we were kind of shocked but in a good way. The food was tasty and spicy, a good heat generator on a chilly winter evening. The only negative comment is that the all Caribbean sound track was too loud for conversation and did not vary in beat enough to give relief. Otherwise, it is a very pleasant, casual dining experience
