About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
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.

    I had the steak frites and it was perfection. As well as the dessert - a lemon coeur a la creme. The wait staff were very attentive.

    The wait staff were very attentive without being intrusive. It was a very enjoyable dining experience—well worth the expense. We were happy with every course: cocktails,bread with rich salted butter, gougeres, mussels, steak frites, and coffee.

    Waaaay too noisy! Couldn't hear each other across the table. Food was great though. There's not a lot of choice on affordable wine - say $75 - $150 a bottle. Still the steak frites were worth it.
