What User likes about St Jack:
First of all, Mike was our server and he was outstanding! If only every server understood what a positive difference they can make to a dining experience! We so appreciated his friendliness, expertise, and efficiency! The food was over the top. We had a bottle of Lucien Lardy, Fleurie Gamay Noir. So good! As well as shrimp cocktail, bread butter, escargot, gruyere puff pastries, pomme frites, and butter lettuce salad... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about St Jack:
Food went downhill. Changing to a whole wheat vs baguettes was terrible and did not make the food taste as good. Food was also overpriced and really not as good as before. Really sad to see it go downhill and will most likely not come back. View all feedback.

The chef is an artist, he takes French recipes at the core and gives a modern twist to all plates, with a beautiful presentation.

Staff felt unfriendly. Portions were minuscule and expensive. Scallops tasted as though they might make you ill. I assume it was an off night, but I don’t under...

St. Jack, once a beloved establishment, has recently disappointed diners with subpar food and lackluster service. Overpriced entrees and minuscule portions left many hungry and dissatisfied. Despite these setbacks, some customers still found the food enjoyable, especially with its Portland twist. The cozy ambiance and attentive service during a time of COVID restrictions were appreciated by those seeking a warm dining experience. Overall, St. Jack's fell short of expectations, with a mix of positive and negative reviews highlighting the inconsistent nature of this once highly regarded French bistro.
