Jacmel Inn - Hammond

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.

Food was very tasty but the time between ordering and eating was excessive. The waitress visited multiple times but the kitchen was obviously underperforming. Food priced reasonably but drinks are grossly overpriced. Will likely return but may try a less crowded night.

Jacmel is consistently one of the best restaurants in Hammond. We know we're getting a fantastic experience, food and service-wise every time we go. The environment/ambiance just elevates it. Jennifer and Claire are excellent at their jobs and make the entire visit delightful.
