Doesn't get any better for food, presentation , and service.

This is NOT the Jacmel of old. I've come here since I was a child in the 1970s, since the new owners took over, the food isn't good and the service is below their lofty standards. Atmosphere is still great. Went there last night, ordered the filet. It was seasoned so hot it was literally painful to eat. It was like it had been marinated in Tabasco then rubbed in peppers before being cooked. Shameful to ruin such a great cut of meat. Some fancy potatoes, same thing, seasoned extremely hot. Literally five glasses of tea, two glasses of water and a glass of merlot later, finished it. Had to keep flagging down the waitress for more drinks, she forgot our wine until halfway through the meal when I reminded her. My wife had the pork chop with potatoes and veggies, it was seasoned even hotter than the steak! I was stunned. $136 meal for two and it was terrible. Will not be back, plenty of better places to eat in Hammond now. Shame, this has been an institution for most of my life, gone now.

My (now) husband and I had our rehearsal dinner at Jacmel Inn and we absolutely loved it! They used the upstairs space just for us and it was the perfect size for our party, which was about 35 people. The food was so so incredible; we had a set menu (steak, chicken piccata, and redfish were the entrees) and everything on it was fantastic and everyone at the rehearsal dinner raved about the food every course. The servers were all professional and helpful and managed to handle such a big party really well. It was the middle of June and the ventilation wasn’t great so it was warm in the restaurant so that was a small hiccup, but we still had a fantastic time! The manager that my father-in-law spoke to was Alphonso and he had nothing but great things to say about how Alphonso handled everything!
