We loved it so much. we asked our nephew, his medical school advisor and his wife to join us. All three lived in NOLA and had never been here. All 5 of us would definitely go back in a heart beat. Great food. Great atmosphere. Great drinks. Great staff. GREAT ALL AROUND! FIVE STARS for Jewel of the South.“

“🌟 Cane & Table: A Hidden Gem in the Heart of New Orleans 🌟

Tucked away in the French Quarter, Cane & Table delivers a dining experience that feels like stumbling upon a secret oasis. From the moment you walk in, the relaxed ambience wraps around you like a warm breeze—dim lighting, rustic charm, and a vibe that whispers “stay awhile.”

🥩 The Food The steak frites were a revelation: perfectly crisp on the outside, tender within, and elevated by a bold chimichurri kick that danced across the palate. Paired with a fragrant side of saffron rice, the flavors were both comforting and adventurous. And just when you think the meal couldn’t get better, the chocolate terrine arrives—rich, velvety, and indulgent without being overpowering. A dessert worth lingering over.

👨‍🍳 The Service Five stars, hands down. The staff were attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without pretension, and genuinely warm. It’s rare to find a crew that makes you feel like both a guest and a friend.

✨ Final Verdict Cane & Table isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a mood, a moment, a memory in the making. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this unexpected surprise is one worth savoring.“

“I just love this place. Been many times on multiple trips. Bartenders are always so engaging and very much about keeping you company and telling you about their drinks and oysters. On this trip, a bartender with pig tails and a cap made my time so special by telling me the back story on the gin and the oysters. Fun, smiley, knowledgeable, and just welcoming. This will always be a stop for me on my New Orleans trips. And happy hour on Mon-Thu 3-6pm has great prices and fun stuff.“

“had an awesome experience. Logan and Ashley was great. whatever your paying them double it“

“I have been sending people to Bar Tonique for close to a year from my position as liquor vault manager at the Sazerac House. So many return to tell me what a great experience they had & to thank me for recommending it. I have left the position at Sazerac House & won't be sending any more from there, Good luck to all the craftsmen & women behind this truly wonderful place!“

“We were blown away on our first visit this morning!! Ryan is a talented mixologist in the bar creating beautiful, delicious and truly unique drinks. Our server Louis was incredibly charming and attentive, giving us excellent menu choices —as it was a hard decision. Every dish was a work of art—both in presentation and flavor. The whole experience was top-notch, and we can’t wait to come back!“

“Really Great Holiday Decorations 🎼🌲💚❤️🎶“

“Fantastic Cuban food made fresh. Small menu, but it’s perfect, you don’t need more because what they have is yummy.“

“Recent dinner at the Jazz Bistro. Food was impeccable. service by server Sarah, was inconsistent and inattentive. Struggled to get her attention to place order. She ignored us for table of six. Surly, rude, unhelpful, no personality. spoke with young manager on duty; he listened, but said NOTHING in response to my concerns.(I identified myself as a former food and beverage manager with Hyatt Hotels and considerable restaurant experience.) Don't expect attention here, even if your needs are minimal. Other staff were charming, which made Sarah look even more inept.“

“Fabulous cocktails. Gorgeous decor and delicious food. Polite professional staff and sumptuous seating. Need I say more ❤️ The “soleil” gin cocktail is divine 🙏🏻 Do it!“

“Delightful dinner. Inventive and well executed menu. Hot sausage stuffed dates, grilled watermelon and swordfish crudo shined . Cocktails were tasty and Doc provided excellent service. Will return.“

“What an enchanting experience offering for a Sunday brunch. The decor-amazing. The menu-creative and flavorful.“

“This is the place to be for live music from local musicians. They do not charge a cover which is fantastic. But it's great to tip the band and show your support that way. The cocktails they make here are very unique. And I had a great conversation with the bartender about how they keep pushing the envelope of different blends and tastes for their customers. Their menu of their mixed drinks is constantly evolving with new offerings. Went to see Marty Peters in the party meters and they did not disappoint. They are a premier jazz band.“

“Absolutely Amazing! One of my favorite places“

“Excellent music, good (and cheap) drinks, chill and friendly atmosphere.“

“Pigeon and Whale was incredible. We live on the West Coast and are spoiled with amazing seafood but we were blown away by every dish. The whole atmosphere is vibrant and feels like a treat for all the senses. Our server (I think it was James?) was delightful and expertly guided us through our order. A HUGE shout out to the bar staff for concocting and offering complex and unique non-alcoholic cocktails. This was such a welcome departure from the lazy treacle that most restaurants pour. We had a great date night and this is a real standout in a city full of spectacular restaurants.“

“Taylor was awesome knowledge about drinks and was perfect on suggestions when you told them your favorite flavors“

“The Baseline: For a in hotel restaurant lounge it must have a good drink menu, excellent appetizers, and a stellar staff to bring out the experience.

Food: Just had drinks. The old fashion was well made and they are stiff drinks in New Orleans.

Service: Great service from the bartender. Fast and efficient.

Ambiance: Wow! The views are incredible and the feeling is relaxed which is a nice escape from the French Quarter.“

“Great neighborhood bar to hang out“

“I was so surprised when I walked in here. The vibes are so good, the DJ is super hot the bartenders and everyone else who worked here are so nice! The little details, like the bar ware, in the establishment are noticed and appreciated. I legit forgot I was on the westbank. 10/10 would recommend and come back!“

“My friends and I stopped into Cure for drinks and apps before dinner, and it was such a great spot to kick off the night. The drinks were tasty and well-crafted, and the apps were light and flavorful. Just note that they’re definitely small plates—perfect for sharing, but I’d say 4 people max per dish if you’re splitting.

Chill vibe, great drinks, and a nice way to start the evening!“

“Visiting NOLA for the weekend with two children. We had brunch here before going to the zoo. The food was spectacular and the staff super friendly and helpful!“

“Bartenders are awesome!! Especially to out of town customers. They make you feel like one of the regulars, like a resident. Absolutely one of the best customer service I've ever had.“

“Held our resident building mixer last night. GREAT venue, food, service, all top notch. I like to float between Rusty Nail and Sidecar depending on my mood.“

“From the amazing food. Awesome decor and A+++ from the staff. All around great experience will be back when in New Orleans. A must visit when in town. The fried bologna sandwich is probably the best sandwich I have ever had.“

“Delicious espresso old fashioned!!“

“Peychauds is one of my favorite places in the quarter! The bartender, V (from Montenegro), is simply amazing! He is incredibly friendly, makes you feel welcome immediately and makes great cocktails!“

“Amazing food , staff and ambiance.“

“My co-worker took me here, first time for me. I will say I felt comfortable and was treated with much love and respect from the patrons as well as the owner! The owner is an incredible person and gives back to his community! Very nice, strong daiquiris and excellent vibe. Thank you, Mr. Love for the introduction. It was an absolutely great time!“

“We did the Drink Lab cocktail making class upstairs first and it was AMAZING and worth the money! The history and education that are included with the class are A1. We had such a great time during the class that we spent the rest of the evening downstairs at Baroness of Baronne. All of the food, drinks, shots (gas mask shot) were great! GO!“

“Open for Christmas drinks! We stopped in for some birthday drinks! Not a bad place at all. Bartender was sweet and shared some deviled eggs!“

“Excellent experience. Highly recommend. We tried almost half the menu, drinks and desserts included. Great all around.“

“Had a great time there. Staff is welcoming and friendly 👍“

“I had a most enjoyable dining experience Lufa Nola this past Sunday. The food was delicious; the service was great & the atmosphere very serene & relaxing. I rate this restaurant & service as excellent with 5 stars. Therefore, I highly recommend it. Joyce D.“

“IN MEMORY OF SOMEBODY SPECIAL !!!“

“absolutely awesome place, just found my second home. ...🎶🎵🍻🍺🤠“

“Went for the first time today, definitely won't be the last. Yes, it's a hole-in-the-wall dive bar. Yes, they smoke in here and there are cigarettes in the vending machine. It might be cash only too (my friend treated me to lunch today). If any of that bothers you- GO SOME PLACE ELSE because the boiled everything on Thursdays is WORTH IT. Turkey necks, neck bones, pig feet, smoked sausage, corn & potatoes was what they had today- all served in a styrofoam go-box in case you can't finish. Slap-ya-momma good food here. Can't really find a menu posted anywhere- it's a word-of-mouth place. I went for lunch but it gets crowded at night.

Parking: Parking lot on left side of building. Overflow parking in open field near Derbingy St.“

“over all great experience love yall and what your doing....“

“Place is really cool! I've never had Sochu or Sake before and our bartender Fernando was really cool, he explained different drinks flavors very well. Aesthetically pleasing place as well. The bathroom is weird but cool with all the cats.“

“Today I met the most wonderful person at that establishment. She had the amazing personality and the greatest service in the world. Her name was Stephanie Johnson. Hopefully I'll get another chance to meet her again. From Eric Wyrostek Knox. The young man who got the 190 octane and jungle juice. Wishing I could get a another chance to see you again“

“the atmosphere is very lovely 🌹“

“We came across this spot to grab a quick drink before bourbon st. We ended up coming back for 3 straight days and spent majority of our time at this bar. This is a spot that won’t ever make the top bars of New Orleans list but if you want to come and get a real, authentic New Orleans experience with people from here then this is the spot to go to. Julie, the bartender was so amazing. One of the sweetest, kindest people I’ve ever come across in my life. Her sister Stella hangs out there too and is just as incredible. The crowd of regulars was so incredibly friendly. Some of the kindest people you’ll ever find. Julie even cooked us up 2 home cooked meals served fresh right at the bar. Best meals we had on the whole trip. I promise go here for the food!!!!! Julie/Stella we love yall so much! Thank you for such an amazing time and being so welcoming. Love Kyle and the Boston Boys!“

“I do indeed like this little hotel bar.

I’ve been wanting to visit and tonight was the night it finally happened.

Upon walking in, I noticed this spot is an actual lounge. There are board games, tv’s , a pool table— I love that vibe. Stopping in on a Friday I knew jt would be slow as Fridays in the city can be slow at hotel bars, everyone who is in town is most likely on Bourbon or other parts the city and not the bar at their hotel. I can’t remember the bar tenders name but he was kind and friendly. Although the drink I wanted to order couldn’t be made due to out of stock ingredients, I enjoyed two glasses of champagne.

Service, great!
Food, I can’t judge because the kitchen was closed.
Location, perfect.. CBD, two blocks away from Bourbon.

I can’t wait to go back next week to try the drink I have my eyes on.“
