About the restaurant

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.

Just a great place, all around. The wine list, salads, entrees, everything was great. Special nod to the duck confit salad. I will be back just for that!

Great first time at Grand Amari, Christmas Eve dinner! I've been meaning to visit for a while. From the time I walked in everyone was warm and friendly. All that translated well throughout the dinner. I was delighted with the menu options; food, drinks, dessert and spirits. Thank you so much!
