Jacmel Inn

Went on Valentine’s Day for dinner. They offered a set menu. I had the steak and my husband had the fish. I had asked for the salad, pasta and desert to be boxed up to bring home for me. I only wanted my main course to be served. My husband had his whole meal there. For $120 a person (tax and tip included) you would expect a decent size serving. We were so disappointed. My steak was very good but when I looked at what else I got I was not impressed. We went for a romantic evening and had a comedy show. The server was great but the experience was not good. The pictures are what we brought home. No I did not eat any of the pasta before I took the picture. This was served to me on a desert plate. Total bill was $288 with 2 drinks.

We celebrated our daughter’s 24th birthday here last night, while it was many of the guests first time, others hadn’t been to the restaurant in years. The atmosphere was very intimate and warm, our area was well prepared, we had enough space for our party of 12. Upon sitting, our waiter “Court or Cort” took drink orders, was attentive to everyone and he answered our questions and concerns without hesitation. We were disappointed that the restaurant “ran out” of crab cakes; only one person from our party was able to order crab cakes before we were told they were out…very disappointing because mostly everyone was having that as an appetizer. Note: Reservations were at 6:30p on a Friday night. We all proceeded to order entrees, we waited 45mins for the food to start flowing out. As we waited,

The atmosphere was cozy and classy. I appreciated the fireplaces and dim lighting, making it feel special. The service was friendly yet spotty. We waited a while to be attended to initially for drinks and appetizers took quite a while to arrive. The real disappointment was with the food. We got the special pork chop, the chicken Frances and the gnocchi. The pork chop flavor was good, but I was asked how I wanted it cooked and said “medium”. It was very well done, so tough that my butter knife plus a lot of muscle could barely get through it. I should have had a steak knife. The menu said it came with sweet potatoes and greens. But it was really just a smear of sweet potato with a sprinkle of greens. We were charged almost $50 for this special entree and the portion was minuscule. The gnoc

My husband and I came for valentines day with another couple. Service was amazing. Drinks were good. Food not so much. Pasta was cold, I ordered my steak well done and it came out medium. Asparagus had no flavor and was hard. Brownies were hard as a rock. Probably won’t be coming back. The amount of money we paid, you expect exquisite food, which was not the case.

Our recent New Years Eve visit fell short of the standards this restaurant once upheld. We had our wedding here 7 years ago and had an amazing time. Although we specifically requested a table downstairs, we were instead seated upstairs in what appeared to be an attic-like space off in the corner. The area was poorly arranged, and above our table a hanging light bulb shone directly into our eyes creating an uncomfortable environment. We left this table and went to express our concerns to the hostess. There were plenty of open tables downstairs but she said they were reserved for 7pm when our reservation was for 6pm. My wife said we will just sit at the bar if we have to. We were then placed at a table in a hidden spot beside the fireplace. I say hidden because the lady refilling water forgo
