PETITE PROVENCE REVIEWS

My family choose this restaurant at Father’s Day lunch. They’re so kind and generous. I love croissants so much. Pastry is an amazing good. My boys ordered a BLT, my daughter ordered west coast Benedict, my youngest daughter ordered a chicken pasta(kids meal:9bucks) my husband and I ordered a steak and eggs. Foods are so good and delicious. Facility is clean and neat.

Took my wife here for her birthday brunch and it never ceases to amaze me when an establishment places so much care in every aspect of the meal. We'll be back again soon! Thank you so much for taking care of her and making her feel appreciated through your carefully curated brunch options!

The best as usually! We really enjoy this place and their food. We had eggs Benedict, croissants, dessert and coffee! Great service and food!

LE PIGEON REVIEWS

We had gone to celebrate our anniversary and reserved a head of time and did the chefs tasting menu, and it was phenomenal. Every course was spaced out just right, the wait staff was like a well oiled machine and didn't miss a beat. There was a time where they had even refilled my water without me even noticing. The staff was amazing. The atmosphere was very relaxed, they had some music playing low in the background for ambiance and it fit perfectly with the overall feel of the restaurant. I 100% recommend everyone eat here at least once in their life. Vegetarian options: They split their tasting menu into two different ones for omnivores and vegetarians. Makes it incredibly convenient for anyone to decide which one to go for.

Spectacular food and a wonderful experience. I went with my family and was there for over two hours as new dishes came out. We were surprisingly full by the end too!

Best foods in Portland! Love the staffs and the atmosphere.

ST. JACK REVIEWS

I've been here twice now and it is one of my absolute favorites - and just WOW. The very first time we came here, it was after a bit of a lackluster dinner so unfortunately didn't come with the biggest appetite - but that didn't stop us from indulging in all the desserts. We had their oysters and GOUGÈRES (will order every time) for savory. And then tried all of their desserts (even took one to go for my parents). Everything we had was incredible. The service was amazing - attentive but also gave us time to ourselves. Will definitely come back.

Been here a dozen times and will be back for dozens more. St. Jack is a Portland staple and a bucket list restaurant for everyone. Have a quick bite in the bar area or make a reservation for a beautiful dinner in view of the kitchen. Whatever you do, don't forget dessert!

The food is delicious. Traditional French cuisine, perfect flavors. Escargot, the Duck entree and of course a cheese plate to begin. Highly recommend. Not an inexpensive meal, but worth it for the experience.
