St. Jack - Review - Northwest - Portland, OR - The Infatuation

"We’ll never say no to a trip to St. Jack. The Northwest bistro is the choice for either oysters and an aromatic glass of Sancerre while perched at the bar, or a full-blown celebratory French dinner with copious amounts of foie gras and vintage champagne. The menu is classically French with a familiar emphasis on Northwest farms and purveyors. No, they’re not reinventing the wheel and you wouldn’t want them to when there’s exemplary escargot, steak frites, and local steelhead served with beluga lentils and dilled beurre blanc to be eaten. The barroom is where you’ll find a menu that plays with tradition like the brunchy croque madame/chicken cordon bleu hybrid that feels exceedingly Portland." - Krista Garcia
