About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
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.

    Superb experience! Our server, Brooke, was attentive and a charm. The food was on point, and the sommelier, Carter, helped us select a memorable bottle. Classic restaurant in a charming neighborhood.

    Wonderful night at St Jack- as always! The food was amazing (best steak frites in town) and our server was a delight. The wine list is fantastic- even the glass pours are high-quality and very good.

    Our dinner was superb. White asparagus in a complex, creamy sauce was especially delicious, and the poached halibut, in yet another delicious sauce accompanied by savory morels, may be the best dish I’ve eaten this year. Friendly, efficient service. Gourmet cuisine in an unpretentious setting: perfect for Portland.

    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.
