Jacmel Inn offers a mixed dining experience that captivates with exceptional food and service but faces challenges in communication and atmosphere. While many patrons rave about the delightful dishes and cozy ambiance—highlighted by young, attentive servers and comfortable private rooms—issues like mismanagement of wait times and unclear pricing practices tarnish some visits. Complaints about portion sizes and environmental factors, such as inadequate lighting and uneven walkways, emphasize the need for improvement. Despite this, Jacmel Inn remains a recommended spot in Hammond, especially for special occasions, thanks to its memorable meals and warm, inviting atmosphere.

Unfortunately, our Mother's Day dinner was quite disappointing. While some aspects of the meal were enjoyable, our drinks were good overall (except for the unexpected bug in my water).
