"When the celebration calls for Champagne, caviar, and pâté en croûte, those in the know book a table at St. Jack, the Northwest Portland restaurant dripping with French eleganza. Start with a few treats off the raw bar, whether it’s a scallop crudo with pickled cippolini onions or plump poached shrimp with vadouvan aioli; follow with classics like a decadent chicken liver mousse or the city’s finest steak frites. For something even more luxe, book the restaurant for a private event." - Michelle Lopez, Brooke Jackson-Glidden
