About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for fine wines
After 14-plus years, St. Jack has become an iconic staple of the PDX dining scene, in the wonderfully walkable "Slabtown" neighborhood of NW Portland. Chef and restaurateur Aaron Barnett's unique menu features rustic dishes from the countryside of Lyon - the heart and soul of French cooking.

We are excited to offer full service inside, as well as outside on our sidewalk tables (weather permitting). We also allow walk-up guests as space allows - Fridays and Saturdays it is highly recommended to make reservations.

Our full menu is also available at the bar counter.

    Not enough main dish selections, no duck pate or escargot- not really that French. Food was ok a little above average not great, pricing ok, service was excellent and friendly.

    I sat at the chef’s counter and had a wonderful dinner: the cucumber crab gazpacho was nuanced and delicious with balanced spicy notes. “Rack of sole” with morels, tarragon, and sauce Americain was truly impressive. And wine choices and advice were generous and perfect. This is an excellent restaurant with high standards—not inexpensive, but based on the effort I saw in the kitchen, the quality and complexity of the cooking, and the service I received, it’s absolutely worth the price.

    St Jack is the best! Steak Frites, Chicken Liver Mousse and Butter Lettuce Salad to name a few favorites. Drink menu is extensive and cocktails are amazing…

    Service was very lacking. Drinks took FOREVER, finally got one after asking twice and waiting almost 40 minutes. Decided not to order another based on wait time. Overall, it was an off night for the restaurant. I was really excited to try this restaurant when visiting Portland. The food was okay, oysters and steak tartare where the best dishes of the items ordered. Would not recommend or go back.

    Good cold pea soup is a must if it is on the menu. Both Halibut and double pork chop were wonderful with prepared sauces being amazing

    It was not our first time in St. Jack. We were thrilled to come there on a weekday because it is open 7 days a week. We were happy to try new appetizers and entrees. We loved Foie Gras Tart. Mussels and Halibut were delicious and 5 stars for Chocolate Grand Marnier Choux Bun dessert. The wine was very good and the service was excellent. We highly recommend this restaurant for special celebrations or just for unforgettable romantic dinners. Thank you for another great experience,

    We were greeted in the alcove of the front door by a friendly gentleman who seated us at a window table. He wished us Happy Anniversary, (I’m guessing our daughter gave them that info since we were using the gift certificate our children gave us.) Our server, Andrew, came and introduced himself, offered menus and let us peruse. He returned to take our cocktail order and then returned with complementary glasses of champagne to acknowledge our anniversary! Wow! Didn’t expect that. The cocktails were remarkable. My husband said the Manhattan was the best he’s ever had- and he’s had a FEW! We ordered the oysters-6, warm olives, endive salad, scallops and foie gras. My personal favorite were the scallops. There were 3 on the half-shell, perfectly cooked and seasoned. My only suggestion would be to bring the foie gras en croute closer to room temp. After we tasted, we gave it a few minutes and then it was divine! The staff were very attentive-in the best way. We were delightfully satisfied and will certainly go back!!
