We came on a Saturday and accidentally reserved a table outside. They were so sweet and found us a seat at the chefs bar area and it was so much fun being able to see them in action. We loved the escargot and beef tartare, the flavors were super complex and rich. We had a lovely time and will definitely be back. read more

Absolute best steak frites in Portland! And the service is amazing! We like sitting at the chefs bar

St. Jack is a must whenever I come through Portland. The menu is ever changing and evolving. Every dish is a thoughtful and magical composition of classic ingredients framed together creatively. The tomate a la Vanille was the sleeper this time around. Tomatoes and Peaches, sure I'll buy that. But with vanilla!?! What a combination. Yet it married beautifully. There is usually always a new presentation of foie. Tonight, it was a foie Gras tart with a basil gelee. Adorned with roasted hazelnuts and melon balls scooped to match the bite size of the nuts. The attention to detail and execution is a perfect example of how every dish here is composed. St. Jack is a rare restaurant with a beautifully crafted menu and a flair for the creative. Familiar French bistro dishes are crafted into the fantastic and fun. To dine here is to dive into the depths of digestive drama. Chicken is served fully clawed. The lines between sweet and savory blurred. For the risk-averse, there are steak and fries to be had. But this is probably not the restaurant for you. Come ready, and come hungry. read more

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! There is nothing like sitting at the bar enjoying champagne and liver pâté, shrimp, mussels or any other delectable French delight you can think of. Even the burger is amazing. As perfect as everything is - including the service - how can you not have ketchup for your burgers and frites? I get that you're French and trying to be authentic, BUT, I think it's time to realize a tiny bit of American cuisine can go a long way to satisfy some American tastebuds. read more

We had a post Birthday dinner for the wife at St Jack. It was a great meal. We made a late reservation and were able to land a table and when we got there, sat promptly. The service was excellent and the cocktail as well as the meal was on point. We'll definitely be back! read more

had reservations on dining room. got seated in the bar, without asking. tartar has a large bone which is cheap, 2 oz of meat max, had a syrah Grenache red blend which 2 was a cheap low volume, cheap wine by bottle as well. 1 glass was $16. place is doing cheap dishes and poor wine to make extra margin. not fgood. it's gone downhill. read more

What a disappointment on every level. I've been visiting this establishment since opening and tonight I said "never again.". It started with reception that seemed unable to figure out seating at the bar, then a completely underwhelming bar service that were trying to find their way, totally subpar. Where's the fabulous bar staff once in place? Food not up to the St Jack standards that I've come to know. Butter lettuce salad lacking on every level, (where's the avocado, radish and lettuce, so sparse) tartare bouef full of bread crumbs, hum?? Guinea hen embarrassingly crap. I've had the Guinea hen here on numerous occasions and tonight's service a ridiculous shit amount (a wing and leg for $38 +) at a ridiculously exorbitant price. You are not a Michelin star establishment (not that this justifies crazy prices) , simply a "local's joint." I've been visiting St Jack over the years, no more. It's all about the almighty buck for these owners. Trying to recoup the Lake O misfires? You've blown it for this Alphabet District local.. Comments that extend beyond the pedestrian "supply chain, staffing shortages", guilty as charged? I await a reasonable response. read more

Finally made it to St Jacks - it's been on the list for around a year. Not disappointed - it was great. The price point is great for the quality. The bar knocked out our usual Manhattan and dry martini - both exceptionally good. Started with oysters, wanted the pate in croute, sold out - disappointing at 6:30 Saturday night. Went with the tartare / boeuf - very tasty but the plating was less than the dish deserved, couple of glasses of wine from their excellent by the glass wine list. Our mains were the sweetbreads teamed up with parsnips - love parsnips - and we were interested in eating them poached and steak with frites- frites were exceptionally good and the kitchen nailed medium rare steak Couple of things, service was good, room was a little louder than I find comfortable for conversation but not unpleasant- walked out through the bar and will asked to be seated there next time- seemed a bit quieter. Parking is challenging. Probably not on our regular list but we will be back. This restaurant is a gem in a neighborhood- the cozy place where you go when you need a treat. Bartender starts your drink when you show up and they treat you like old pals. Hopefully that happens for this place. Wish it were in my neighborhood. read more

Disappointed, order a dish that I was told was based on cauliflower but what i got which was cabbage. Ask for the steak as a replacement which was granted. What was delivered looked nice but had no flavor, not even salt or pepper. My partner order the cod which was okay but was served with a plate full of chickpeas which appeared to have come straight from the can. The final straw was when some body, I assume it was the owner, came over to point out that the dish I ordered was to be made from cabbage, even thou Goggle and their waiter said it was cauliflower. read more

when planning a few-day trip to portland, a city in which it's all too easy to find an outstanding meal, i wanted to try to find something exceptional. my palate tends to really enjoy french food, and it's an easy option to turn to when looking for a nice, fancy meal. st. jack kept popping up in lists and forums, and they do reservations outside for 1 (still dining outside for covid reasons), so i was sold i feel like when you're dining alone, there's a bit more pressure on the staff. they're kind of your guide. so, grain of salt, but that's the -1 star. when i got there for my reservation, the host at the front didn't say a word after i introduced myself and gave my details. she silently grabbed a menu and then walked me to my table. i tried making small talk - no reply. not a very good start. she seemed in a bad mood and left her shift soon after, so who knows. maybe a bad day. the other server was super cheery and enjoyed chitchatting. i ordered a couple items that had just been put on the menu, trying to stay seasonal. i never turn down a crudo, and started with the hamachi. this was the highlight of the meal, hands down. the fish was so flavorful and worked perfectly with the berry. berry and basil also were great combo, and the whole dish absolutely sang. next was the legume d'ete or "summer vegetables" with the most wonderful fresh figs and beets. peaches would have been nice, too. cucumbers and basil were a nice pair, and the frozen buttermilk... was interesting. i did like the sour notes it added, and boy did it make the dish refreshing. i like the bold choice here, so we'll give it a win as well. not my favoite thing ordered though, and i wonder if another small plate would have been a better choice. i like eating light though, so eating a serving of froi gras or pate solo wasn't gonna happen that night finally, i had the halibut. st. jack really knows their fish. it was absolutely perfect all around. and the sauce was great. broccolini was a little hard to eat, but good. their desserts... meh, nothing jumped out at me, so i skipped it. wine recommendation was good. i'd probably not go back, but if someone was looking for a reliably good not-too-wild meal, i'd suggest st. jack. it was memorable. read more

Our favorite restaurant! Delicious food, wonderful staff, and beautiful fine dining atmosphere! My husband and I go here often with our daughters and we love it every time. I used to live in France and miss it dearly so when I come here it is such a treat! read more

started with the Endive gratin which was good just missing some aspects to make it great. I would not waste your time on the bread and butter, nothing unique at all. For the main course, we got the Duck L'Orange and the Steak Frites, while the steak was excellent, I would not say its worth $50. The ambiance and visibility of the kitchen made this place feel special however the pricing didn't. Overall still a really good experience read more

St. Jack - Steak Frites* - French Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Laid-back, sophisticated, delicious! St. Jack has a dark, cool atmosphere. Great location on 23rd street near other local hot spots and good option for a walk after dinner. Service was excellent - our waitress was incredibly helpful in explaining the details of the menu and highlighting popular options. Menu is diverse with lots of vegetarian options. Expect to spend a few bucks but presentation and quality make up for it. We shared the beef tartare (delicious), gougeres (our favorite, unique), and the moules marinière (more than enough for two). Cocktails were all reaonably priced and delightful. Recommend getting a few plates to share & enjoy some drinks! read more

My partner and I had dinner here back in April 2021 and had a wonderful experience! We sat outdoors so I can't speak on the indoor dining experience, but the service was good and the food was great. We loved their French onion soup and steak frites! I also ordered the oysters and marinated olives as appetizers and they were delicious. The oysters were a good size, fresh, and served with a yummy mignonette. Cocktails were good as well (one I ordered was the St. Jack Daiquiri and it was quite strong). I'm definitely wanting to visit again and recommend trying them out! read more

Have been here a few other times but had a really great dining experience here last night. We came to celebrate a birthday and everything we ordered was divine - we started with raw oysters and poached prawns (come with the most delicious curry sauce), we also had these cheese/butternut squash balls, and for the main course had baby lettuce salad and monkfish (so well cooked). We ended dinner with a wine pairing and Madeleine dessert (with a side of fresh cream and fruit jelly). The cocktails are also very well made and such great presentation and service. read more

Had dinner here while on business in Portland area. This restaurant came as a recommendation from a colleague. Took some time to find parking. Street Parking only. Ambiance is dark and romantic. Service was slow and not very attentive. But staff was friendly. I was not too impressed with the food unfortunately, especially for the prices. None of the dishes had a wow factor, they seemed average. I'm no restaurant critic but at these price points I mean I'm expecting to be blown away. read more

Second time in a week dining at this charming French Bistro. Warmly welcomed and seated at bar again as per my request. Began with butter lettuce salad with fine herbs dijon vinaigrette, gougères, and a cup of marinated mixed olives. For the main course, I had steak frites, a 10 ounce bavette. Steak was perfectly cooked and frites, nicely crispy and salty. For dessert, i went with crepes suzette. Delicious. Why 4 stars, after 5 stars on first visit. Butter lettuce was not dried perfectly, so the vinaigrette was watered down to the point that you couldn't taste the dressing. Otherwise, everything perfect. I will return very soon. read more

My partner and I went for his birthday. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The beverages whether cocktail or mocktail were very well made. I loved the relaxed atmosphere. The food was expensive but very good. It was well presented and well prepared. All of the food was well seasoned. Some of the reviews I've read are ridiculous. Complaints because of nut allergies and reviews about dishes where the person doesn't understand the ingredients. I may not review every restaurant I go to and I don't consider myself a foodie but I know what is and isn't good. If you go to St. Jack ask questions of the staff and enjoy the meal. read more

Oyster HH Throwdown Score: 88% (1st Place!!!) Oyster Happy Hours: Sun-Thu 4-5PM Listed In: 2019 PDX $1 Oyster Happy Hour Throw-down Ninth and last stop on my 2019 PDX $1 Oyster Happy Hour Throwdown takes me to St. Jack. Here is how the scoring went: Venue: Casual, French bistro with large windows and great people watching. The Alphabet District is my favorite neighborhood in the downtown area. Not dog friendly and no parking lot. Better street parking than most parts of PDX. I loved the bistro music they play here. It's like being in a Tarantino movie. LOL Score: 8/10 Oyster Source/Farm: South Puget Sound "Miyagis" Freshness: The oysters were fresh having good liquor and good smell. Good quality although not the best. Score: 20/20 Shucking: All were free to slide with no shell debris or damage to the meat. Score: 20/20 Presentation and Plating: The server didn't identify the source of the oysters, I had to ask. The plating was average. Score: 6/10 Add Ons: Three slices of lemon and a red wine vinegar mignonette which was average in taste. Score: 6/10 Value: The small Pacific Oysters were above average quality and shucked perfectly. Given the $1/oyster cost, the value was excellent. 10/10 Other HH Menu Options: A small HH menu but had some best HH food I have ever eaten. OMG, the burger and fries ($14 HH) are other worldly. I rarely break my "never pay more than $10 for a burger unless it is Wagyu/Kobe" rule but this burger is worth $14. Honestly, I would come here to eat their French fries. The chicken sandwich and butter lettuce salad are the bomb too. 10/10 Service: The people were nice and the service was prompt and attentive. 8/10 Total Score: 88/100 (88%) What a great finish for my 2019 PDX $1 Oyster Happy Hour Throwdown with St. Jack winning by only 1%. Besides the perfect score on the oyster freshness and shucking, their other Happy Hour dishes are simply fabulous. There is something really likable and special about St. Jack besides the food and service. Maybe it's the Tarantino background music. Ha ha Check it out. read more

The remains were not pretty, but the meal was an amazing instance of decadence. Aged ribeye steak, herbed butter sauce, fries, a pint of local Pilsener, and a finger of Mitzker's bourbon. The meal was ridiculously decadent but worth the year it took off my life. They should include a nice cigar on the house after dinner. read more

St. Jack - French Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This place is an over-priced joke! Let us count the ways. My partner is a classically trained French Chef and published cookbook author. My partner and I made a reservation for 5pm on a Saturday 10/26/2024 in the dining room. We were the second couple to be seated. My partner had a low blood sugar incident as we were arriving and was a little light-headed. They quickly seated us in a corner table near the front of the restaurant. It was probably the worst table in the restaurant and the walls were visibly DIRTY - Like actual black dirt and streaks of who knows what on the wall next to our table. Clear health code violation. And this is supposedly an upscale restaurant? The service was a joke in many ways. We waited over an hour for our food to arrive and we were the second seating of the evening. Our server did not offer to re-fill our drinks. When they finally did, after about 40 minutes, another server came and asked us if we needed drinks. Total chaos among the front house. The bread was served COLD. The server kept coming back and glancing at our table over and over again, and would say "the food is coming" and then it never came for at least an hour. The server also reset our table at least 3 times and did not take away finished dishes in a timely manner and the table became crowded. The music was much too loud to have conversation with my partner. FOOD: The duck patte was not even close to being on par. The escargot was a joke! A giant puff pastry with maybe 2 bites of snails inside. It was almost comical to break the crust off the top of the bowl and wonder if it was empty or not. It sure looked empty. The server tried to say it was a "small plate". C'mon now. We aren't stupid. My partner is a Chef. You didn't tick ANY boxes except maybe with your fries. The Steak frites were ordered Medium Rare. Both my partner and I had to cut and cut and cut to get a piece of meat off. If it was cooked correctly it should cut like knife through hot butter. The demi-glaze did not have any velvety texture, it seemed watered down or something. The Béarnaise sauce was NOT as advertised, I think they just gave us aioli and called it Béarnaise. We were not offered a second drink until AFTER our main courses were served at which time we ordered Sarah. We will never go back to this place and paying $172.00 for such POORLY executed food was a waste of our time! Update - The China the food was served on was chipped. Chipped dishes for dinner service are against health code. I also walked by this restaurant several times a day and the wall next to our table is still dirty. read more

We visited St. Jack back in April 2021 and we had to come back on our most recent trip to Portland a week ago. We hadn't sat inside and had the opportunity to do so this time, ambiance was great, not too loud. We sat by the window and had a great view of the downtown area. Food and service were amazing. We enjoyed every plate that came out. Make sure to order the tiny Madelines! Those are our favorites read more

We get it. Some of your dishes take up to 40 minutes to cook. That's totally fine. We expect that as diners who like high-end meals made from scratch. I understand that it's your preference for diners to order apps and main dishes at the same time, but it was my fiancée's birthday and we were in no hurry and wanted to eat our apps before placing our main order. We understood the 40 minute warning. So we ordered cocktails and apps and prepared to take our time and enjoy our special night, but instead we were chastised... harassed?... continually by staff. When a server relays the same "40 minute" fact five times in a ten minute period in a clearly aggressive tone, I can only assume that you either don't want us there or your goal is to flip tables in under 90 minutes like this is T.G.I. Fridays. If you want to offer fine French dining, part of that is making your diners feel relaxed and welcome. After all that harassment, the main dishes came out in about ten minutes. We won't be coming back, but do better for your future customers. read more

My husband surprised me with reservations here to celebration our anniversary. The waiter (I think Matt but I could be wrong) was too notch. So welcoming and took such good care of us. We order cocktails (Manhattan and a mezcal cocktail) both were excellent. We also got wine with our meals. We started with oysters and I have to stress this GET THE OYSTERS. We both agreed they were the best oysters we've ever had and I'm not sure what they do to them whether is crack or what but they were delicious. We also got the goat cheese spread and bread which was good too. My husband ordered the steak frites and said it was cooked to perfection. I had the mussels and would have straight up drank the brother if it wouldn't have been looked down upon. Head to the NW and give this place a try. It will not disappoint. read more

St. Jack - Great local wine selection! - French Near Me - Portland, Oregon

As a former french fine dining server, and a current hedonist who frequents fine dining restaurants in search of my next decadent fix, I was sorely disappointed by my experience at St. Jack during my birthday dinner last night. The staff was patronizing and pushy--clearly more interested in turning tables quickly than turning first-time guests into loyal customers--consistently trying to bully us throughout the evening to order quickly by threatening us (I think 5 times total?) that not ordering everything at once would result in us waiting 40 minutes after finishing our apps and first round of drinks to receive our entrees. We asserted multiple times that we would order our apps, then our entrees after, an approach which should be encouraged by a french restaurant. I mean, what's more American than trying to get people to buy and eat moremoremore, fasterfasterfaster!? And to be clear, we aren't time wasters. We planned to be there for about an hour and a half. We ended up being there a little closer to two hours, partly because of how long it took us to get greeted and served once we arrived for our reservation and were seated. Throughout the entire meal, it was clear that our server did not want us there and even after clearing the plates and bringing our dinner setup, said, "As we know, we'll be waiting QUITE some time for our entrees since we waited to order." I'm sorry, but give me a break. Everything about this experience was embarrassing, and what a shame to have to deal with this EVER at a restaurant that considers itself 'fine' and especially during a birthday. Would have been way better off just returning to our weekly spot, Mediterranean Exploration Company, which never disappoints. read more

I recently went to St. Jack's for the first time. My best friend ( a chef) has been raving about the food for along time, and we finally decided to go together. I started with the chilled nettle vichyssoise and absolutely loved it. It was perfectly seasoned and had a beautiful consistency. For my main course, I ordered the duck a l'orange, a dish I had often when I was living in France. They did a fantastic job with cooking the duck, and I loved the sauce ( although I wish there had been more). What I thought was the best dish was actually my friend's steak frites. It was perfectly cooked and the verbalize sauce was incredible. When I go back, I'll absolutely be ordering that!! Dessert was also fantastic ( meringue with hazelnut ice cream). read more

We came here to celebrate my birthday and the service was spectacular. Our server checked in often and was great to provide suggestions for our first time being in. We ordered: Steak and pomme frites: my partner ordered and loved his dish and the steak was tender Chicken liver mousse: so creamy and fantastic paired with the mustard. The bread was also quality with a great crust. Good for sharing Scallop crudo: very light and fresh. Good flavor and was a great compliment to some of the heavier French buttery dishes we ordered. Mussels: the broth for this was delicious!!!! Bigger portion than I anticipated for traditional French dining. Escargot: tasty buttery sauce accompanied the escargot. What's not to love? Good for sharing Pavlova: get this for dessert! You won't regret it. Definitely for someone with a sweet tooth. Ambiance: romantic and cozy read more

We had one of the best meals of our life here last night. The service was incredible - our waitress assisted us in picking out the cheese platter and recommended a fantastic wine to pair with. The ambiance is sexy, intimate and well done. The acoustics were also great for an intimate date night. The beef tartar was fantastic and beautifully plated. The muscles were out of this world. They were huge and fresh with a beautiful and deliberate sauce pairing. To finish off our meal, we had a peach dessert with foie grai ice cream. The ice cream was unique and delicious. I would HIGHLY recommend. read more

The vibe was super comfy~ my partner and I enjoyed our time. Would definitely plan to return again especially for steak frites

Disappointed. I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now so I booked a table via Open Table on 12/16/2024 for Valentine's Day 2025. I received an email from the GM on 01/30/2025 stating that they have a special Valentine's Day menu and that a card will be needed to "hold onto the reservation, we will need to book it with a credit card." To me, I was thinking based on previous experience that a credit card is needed to HOLD the reservation and if there were last minute cancellations, your card will be charged. For a special expensive dinner, that is industry standard. To my surprise after giving my card number, I WAS CHARGED. Not only was I charged for the dinner, I was charged a 20% fee! First off, no where in the email from the GM did he state there would be a 20% fee. Not only that, it's ridiculous they would charge a 20% fee without me ever stepping foo into the restaurant. Make it make sense. How are you going to charge me a service fee without providing me a service? I am let go of the dinner charge right now away, but the SERVICE FEE?! Nope. Ridiculous. Ended up cancelling and asking for a full refund. The thing is, I would have been fine paying the 20% service fee AFTER being served. To be charged the service fee BEFORE being served and without knowledge, RIDICULOUS read more

We were trying to find a different restaurant when we made reservations here, but a happy accident lead us to this amazing place to eat. The menu is small and all the food was very well thought out, with just the right balance of new school and old school class. There were lots of oddities that aren't for everyone, but if you are into eating like a culinary adventurist, and not scared of taking risks, this is the place to do it. One of the great things about this place was that the flavors were what was expected of the dish you ordered. There weren't any tastes out of place. Classic dishes prepared the classic way with no gimmicks needed. Truly a great example of not fixing things that aren't broke. I couldn't commit to anything from the larger plate section except for the 40ish oz steak but that seemed heavy, so we went with smaller plates. Mostly because I can't pass up a liver pate/mousse, or a steak tartare ever, even if they were in a burning building. I was very happy with our tapas style dinner. We took the safe side of wild with our choices, chicken liver in spreadable form, chunky chopped half cooked beef, puffy crunchy pig skin, olives, and a salad. (Because healthy) The chicken liver mousse was amazing. Perfectly seasoned. Anyone who thinks liver flavored ice cream could never fly should try this. Because I could easily eat two scoops of this in a waffle cone, The crispy swine skin was still popping and "cracklin" when it hit the table. It was sinfully good. It was probably over a thousand calories, but if that's the price I have to pay for crunchy pig perfection then it must be paid. Olives were nice, warm, with thyme and some citrus scented oil. There was a lot of oil though and at the end they got a little salty and oily. The olive mix itself was really nice though. The steak tartare was drop the mic good though. Well the meat was. I could care less for the green stuff on top that just covered up the gorgeous chopped meat. And my opinion of potato chips with tartare becoming more normal, just makes me want to tell the cows to jump the fence and run for the hills. It's just an easy way to get out of frying bread, which is good...that should be in caps. But ya it was great and the whole dish worked even the stupid chips. My only complaint was for 17$, gimmie some more tartare, the portion size was a little lean for the price, but no use crying over raw meat. The salad I ate for dessert. And it was one hell of a dessert. Maybe the best thing I ate, well actually it was a 4 way tie of 10/10 for the four dishes which is impressive, but ya, the salad game is on point here. Draught beer was a blonde and who doesn't like a tasty blonde with dinner? The wine was a 5yr old merlot/cab franc blend that was just what the doctor ordered. The atmosphere kinda made me giggle. It's like all hip and cool music playing, with a classic fine dining cooking style. New school meets old school. Maybe I'm the only one that finds that funny. But it did take some of the stodginess and stiffness out of play, and I really liked the vibe. Overall it was one of the better meals I've eaten so a big thanks to the chefs. I'll be back. read more
