3 Doors Down

The hostess was rude; our food arrived before our wine; and when we were asked at the end of the meal how everything was, we mentioned our disappointment in one of the courses (we had less than one full beet on our beet salad) and the report back from the kitchen was that we should have told them earlier. There are too many really good restaurants in Portland to go back to this barely average one, and we'll be sure to let all of our friends know about our experience as well. Pros: Atmosphere Cons: Service and Attitude more

I had heard so much good stuff about this restaurant, and since its tucked away location, had passed it by for years. Once we finally went to check it out, we were dissappointed tremendously. My linguine tasted EXACTLY like Cambpells Chicken noodle soup. My friend swears by their desserts, but we didn't order, it was not comfortable. We felt like we were rubbung elbows with the people at the table next to us. Not my taste. Pros: ? Cons: no parking, crowded, tables lop-sided more

We love the casualness and feel comfortable just having a bunch of appetizers and some wine for dinner. They are easy going and willing to go the extra mile to please. Great date place, too! more

I have just discovered Three Doors Down and I think it is a great place to eat and drink. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly, the food is generous and filling and the drinks are strong and balanced. The Plum Tomato and Vodka sauce is one of those dishes you will crave after you try it, very unique. Nice servers and bartenders. Excellent seafood, try the scallops and the steamers. New Old Fashioned, best I've had. Love it, love it, love it!!! Pros: Plum tomatoes with vodka and cream. Stiff drinks! Cons: Closed Mondays more

I have frequented 3DD since my husband and I moved to Portland in 2003. It just keeps getting better! I'm a creature of habit, so I typically enjoy their wonderful, spicy seafood fra diavlo (outrageous portions). I recently branched out and tried the pork tenderloin and couldn't believe that I wasn't ordering that for the past five years. I am never disappointed with what I get, and it's often more food than I can ever finish. 3DD recently started hosting happy hour all night Sunday and Tuesday through Thursday, and we have been stopping by more frequently since that started. They have fantastic menu items that remind me of food back home on the East Coast. So far, I have enjoyed Kathy's beautiful Stromboli, meatballs under a thick layer of fresh motzarella, delicious fingerling potatoes, and my personal favorite, a zuppa di mare that calls to me on the nights I don't go in. The creamy mac and cheese is also phenominal. They also have a cocktail menu for happy hour that does not disappoint. There is typically a specialty cocktail each night. All of their cocktails are made with super fresh ingredients (I have often been there while the bar staff juices fruit to keep up with the evening's demand). Nothing beats fresh ingredients in a cocktail. Nothing. The pours are generous and the bar staff is hands-down Portland's finest. This restaurant is a neighborhood gem and is a class act all the way. It is our go-to restaurant to celebrate special occasions as well as the fact that, well, it's Wednesday. The atmosphere is dimly-lit, with lots of candles, quiet music, and a wait staff that truly helps you have a fantastic evening, whether you're in for a multi-course dinner or a quick bite during happy hour. Pros: Ambience, staff, food, yummy cocktails Cons: Parking (neighborhood streets are narrow, but worth fighting for a spot) more

I have had this place in my restaurant rotation for years because it is so solid. Pros: Consistent, reasonably priced wine list more

I have had this place in my restaurant rotation for years because it is so solid. Food, service and atmosphere are always spot on. Matt (bartender) knows a lot about scotch. It always feels like home. Pros: Consistent, reasonably priced wine list more

My date and I were both disappointed with this restaurant. Everything from the service to the quality of food was average and not what we both expected given the price of the meals. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a good meal at a good price. Pros: Seated promptly Cons: the taste and portion of food does not warrant the high prices more

My wife and our friends went here last Saturday evening. I must agree with the other reviewers that the atmosphere was wonderful and the service was outstanding. The food was pretty good but far from the best in town. The prices and portions were not great compared to similar restaurants in town. You can definitely do better. Pros: great service Cons: High prices and small portions more

I can't imagine anyone writing a negative review about this place! IT'S AMAZING! The food is consistantly delicious, the wine menu is fabulous, and the service is great! This is the place we go when we get a babysitter for our kids. (by the way... the first time we went we had 2 of our small well-behaved kids, and they were very accomodating, although this is not a place to bring kids) Pros: great ambience, service, food, and wine Cons: parking on hawthorne more
