   3 Doors Down has a favorite of ours for years. We love the menu, which while simple, has a variety of delicious pasta dishes, usually 2-3 protein based dishes and a nice selection of appetizers and salads. Also there area plenty of options for vegetarians. The porcini dusted halibut is fabulous! On our last visit our friends had the eggplant parmesan and raved about it. The cocktails are always delicious and inventive. We always feel welcomed and are treated as if we are favorite guests [I'm sure everyone feels this way]

   Birthday dinner. Seafood was very over cooked and the pork ragu needed salt/seasoning

   This is a favorite neighborhood cafe (though far from our neighborhood). The entrees are excellent as are the pastas. We love the bean dip, though now one has to pay for it whereas previously it was free. Like everywhere, prices have gone up, but they are still reasonable. On Sunday nights bottles of wine are 30% off.

   We have been to Three Doors Down a few times and enjoy it. The food and drinks were fabulous. Halibut main was perfect! The ambience is fine- The only slight complaint was our server seemed disinterested and bored. It felt as if we were a problem she would rather not have to deal with. Believe me- we are not needy customers.

   We had an outstanding experience Friday night. I had the short rib special and it was a perfect dish. We sat outside and it was perfectly warm with the heaters in the seating area. The restaurant owner Jeff is so caring and checks in regularly as did our server Sarah. We shared beets and a bibb lettuce salad and my mother had the duck confit. I always have a Matt's tap Manhattan and even though we were outside in November we had the delicious ice cream for dessert. It was a wonderful dinner,

    We have been coming here for 13 years and have never, NEVER, had anything but a great meal. Great cocktails, great salads, and the pasta and seafood were cooked to perfection. The only suggestion I would make is for them to put the steak back on the menu. I don't think it's easy to keep standards this high for 13 years, but they have done it!

    From the cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, thru salads and the main course to dessert we were treated like family (in a good way 😊). All of our meals were tasted delicious and our meats and fishes were done perfectly.

    Had a lovely meal. The Duck confit with lentils was very pleasing in both flavor and texture. Bread no longer just appears at your table. Just order some....and no worries. The refresh of the interior is very nice. Lighter tones. The house made pappardelle, with beef and pork bolognese was reliable as always. tasty, and not too heavy. The house made fettuccine, prawns and bacon special was decadent. The fatty smoky bacon permeating the sauce and prawns. Another 4 star meal at Three Doors Down. Worth a regular visit.

    When we are visiting family in Portland, dinner here at least one night is something we always look forward to enjoying! They always provide a great dinner! The team who works here is consistent and very hard working! The owner is very much involved, and actively assisting his staff. It’s a fun place to go! I wish it was a little quieter is my only constructive suggestion.

    3 Doors Down is always a treat. Since they have relaxing outdoor eating options, we hadn't eaten inside since the Pandemic started. Tonight we did and were immediately bowled over by the Miro prints now enveloping the dining room. It felt very special to be warmly greeted by the owner/manager who remembered us from prior visits. Our server Sara was friendly and upbeat. Our dinner--seafood pasta special & causer salad; gf pasta bolognese and garden salad with blue cheese and almonds, was delicious. My companion wolfed down the crusty bread and white bean hummus. A red blend wine accompanied our dinners. There was no room for dessert, but we shared a piece of the flourless chocolate cake anyway. So So good! Can't wait to go back!

    We frequent 3 Doors Down between 8-10 times a year, and it's one of the highlights of my sister and my time together. The food is great, the service wonderful and it's a great combination of dependable and 'always something new' to enjoy. It's a celebration to eat here!

    We made reservations (highly recommended if you don’t want to sit outside) and it was amazing from start to finish! We were in a time crunch and let our wait person know and they made every effort to get our food out fast and hot! It was a great experience and everyone working was so kind!

    I LOVE their scallops with fresh peaches in a cream sauce. It is one of best dishes ever had! And the banana cream pie and tiramisu was also excellent! Their service is also quite outstanding! And they have a nice patio area that is not super noisy! And they don’t rush you out in hour and quarter as other restaurants do! Great dining experience!

    Celebrating our wedding anniversary and we wanted to try a new Portland Italian restaurant. I had the halibut and my wife had the summer pasta special with pork and chicken meatballs. Both were perfectly prepared and enjoyed outside on the patio. We will go again.

    You feel the sense of history at 3 Doors Down. Not many restaurants in town have been around as long as they have, and there’s a good reason or two for their longevity. They know their business and their customers and their goal is for satisfaction all the way around. Everyone from the owners to the chef, servers and bartenders are seasoned professionals, you immediately know you are in good hands. You simply can’t go wrong by choosing this restaurant for any occasion or just for a great night out.
