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.

    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.

    Always delicious, creative cooking that still reminds us of the Lyonnaise origins and inspiration! Attentive service. Dining room will often be a bit loud but this is one of Portland’s best restaurants.

    We have lives here for 10 years and never had a meal here. That was a mistake. It was outstanding. The best hamachi crudo and shrimp app we have ever had, and outstanding entrees. There is a reason this place appears on Best Of lists year after year.

    Pros: Donan the host. He’s awesome. The pisco drink The Manhattan with the extra carafe Cons: Food was subpar. Salad was terrible. Rockfish was bland. Service (other than Donan) was slow and inattentive. Tables are so close together I feel like I’m chewing their food for them. Overall, this was for a Valentines dinner and have to say this will be the last time I go here. Place has gone downhill. Especially for $360 for 2 people.
