Jacmel Inn - Hammond

Amazing location and tremendous food! We had a very large party this week, and we actually booked the entire upstairs. These guys rocked it! The ambiance is historic and comfy. The service was beyond great. Seriously, I can not boast enough about how quick and attentive these folks were. My apologies to management, as I didn't get their names (fell free to contact me I you'd like to know which party, but I'm sure that you know). The food was absolutely delicious, even with a short list of entrees( as coordinated for our dinner), everything was terrific. Steaks, fish, and chicken...oh and the bread pudding, wow, just over the top.

Friends from Hammond picked the restaurant and picked a good one I'd say. Food was delicious drinks were good and cold.

We ordered a bottle of wine.After 15 minutes the server came back and apologized for the wait. She said the bartender thought we ordered a glass and not a bottle. 10 minutes later, the server came back and said they were out of that particular bottle. The menu has changed and they no longer serve bread and salad with your meal. Our steak was cooked perfectly and the gnocchi was good(a little salty). They did not have ingredients to make an old fashion. However, they did offer a brown butter (not sure if this is the correct name) old fashion which was fantastic. Our server,Liz, handled it all very professionally and apologized for all the “no” she had to say to us.

The new menu is fabulous! From the carpaccio and grilled shrimp to the ceviche and stuffed mushrooms, everyone in our group was raving about the new taste sensations! Creative and delicious, the dishes and plating were delightful. Kudos to the Jacmel team on the success of the new menu.

Expensive meal was subpar. The expensive Jacmel Burger was a not so special burger as it had been in the past. The kitchen meal prep time was unacceptably prolonged. I cancelled dessert because of the delay. For years, my wife and I have chosen Jacmel as our go-to Sunday brunch restaurant; but will consider other options in the future.
