Description

Eater Portland has described Jacqueline as a "seasonal, vegetable and seafood-focused restaurant".[3] Located in southeast Portland's Hosford-Abernety neighborhood, the restaurant has an aquatic theme and its name alludes to the film The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.[4] The interior features a painting of actor Bill Murray.[5] Jacqueline's menu includes Pacific Northwest cuisine, including scallops and pork belly with citrus coconut curry, Dungeness crab and Calabrian chilies over saffron hollandaise toast,[6] and oysters for happy hour.[7][8]

History

Chef owners Derek Hanson and Brandi Lansill opened the restaurant with co-owner Brian Dufour on August 24, 2016,[9] in a space which previously housed St. Jack and the French restaurant Renard.[3] Jacqueline began serving brunch in 2017.[7] Lansil was no longer a co-owner, as of 2018.[10]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant's take-out menu included tacos, seafood buns, and ceviche.[11] Jacqueline was "reborn" as Fair Weather in early 2021.[12][13] The daytime cafe operation ended in December 2021. According to Thom Hilton of Eater Portland, Fair Weather's "seasonal doughnuts and colorfully-garnished coffee cocktails made it a social media sensation".[14]

Reception

In 2017, Jacqueline was nominated for Restaurant of the Year by Eater Portland.[15] Nick Woo included the restaurant in the website's 2019 list of "14 Delightful Spots to Eat and Drink on SE Clinton".[6] Nathan Williams included Jacqueline in Eater Portland's 2022 overview of "Where to Crack Open a Dungeness Crab in Portland". He said Jacqueline "is one of the city's finest spots for seasonal seafood, and its Dungeness crab toast is easily one of its menu's biggest stars".[16]

In 2023, pastry chef Darla Shaffer was one of 18 Portland industry professionals deemed "rising stars" by the restaurant resource and trade publication StarChefs.[17][18]
