Best in the Hawthorne area 7/21/2008

The food quality is outstanding - fresh, tasty, flavorful, etc. The wine list long and very interesting - several good choices at the $20-$25 a bottle level. The place is comfortable but could be a little noisy. Finally, the service is professional and friendly. Bottom line: a perfect restaurant without the fake pretension and the higher than your wallet prices. Cheers! Only drawback is their ""no reservations"" system, so the wait for tables could be long on the weekends. Pros: Quality of food, professional service, and wine selection. Cons: Do not accept reservations more

Great Food and service!!! 5/29/2008

My husband and I went to 3doors down for Valentine's Day. We had a small wait before we were seated for our reservation. The host seemed a bit overwhelmed, but he remained friendly. Our server was excellent! He knew the menu very well and was confident in his recommendations, which I can always appreciate. The entrees were great. Their Tiramisu is one of the BEST I've ever had!!!! Pros: food, service, TIRAMISU more

3 Doors Down - Parking 3 miles Away 5/29/2008

The food is definitely good, and our server was top notch, but I found the bar waiting area very cramped with absolutely no room to move about, and since the restaurant is not really separated from the bar the whole place was extremely loud. I couldn't speak with our friends across the table without yelling, and I couldn't hear what they were saying. The parking is very limited because you're in a residential neighborhood and off of Division. Plan to spend some time looking for an open spot to park and if you're looking for a quiet romatic place, this isn't it. Pros: Great food Cons: parking, noise level, limited seating while waiting more

FANTASTIC!!! 3/22/2008

I don't usually review restaurants but after having dinner at 3 Doors Down I felt compelled. I come from a family of chefs and grew up in NYC. I have my standards for what's good.... The service was excellent (Mara), the menu had something for everyone and the food was delicious (I had the Rigatoni in Vodka Cream Sauce with Italian sausage..... A bit spicy but very good). Great selection of wines! The atmosphere was romantic. We went for a birthday celebration and everyone raved. The place was packed! I highly recommend this restaurant. more

East Coast best food in the world...yea right...FACT...typical east coast ""ahole"" 9/3/2007

To the reviewer who thinks the east coast has the best food in the world please go back and enjoy your food. We don't need any more east coast snobby implants out here in the west. Take your polluted minds and your pretentious air back to skid row New or should I say Sewer Jersey and eat your ""fresh"" fish out of the Hudson river. Oh by the way the Italian food is good in Jersey when prepared by the Mofia..or maybe I'll let them read your review since New York's cuisine is far superior over Italy's or any other country in Europe. Pros: On the west coast Cons: some people from the east coast eat here more

Fills the ""East Coast"" need we have to Italian! 7/30/2007

We grew up in Jersey. Some may consider that a negative... and you are right in many ways. But, the food in New Jersey and New York is the best in the world. Not opinion... fact. And there are not many places in Portland that can even compete with old world Italian cuisine... 3 Doors Down can and does. Pros: Dishes, service, prices Cons: Hard to find - off the beaten path. more

And there are not many places in Portland that can even compete with old world Italian cuisine... 3 Doors Down can and does. They had a fantastic anti-pasta made not with the usual ham slice, peppers and olives... but with fantastic prosciutto, capicola and REAL mozzarella. The gnocchi with sausage was fantastic 3 Doors Down really deserves a night out. Pros: Dishes, service, prices Cons: Hard to find - off the beaten path. more
