Three Doors Down Cafe

4.6

About this business

Simply romantic, 3 Doors Down Cafe offers classic Italian dishes, some laced with superb seafood, on the trendy Hawthorne Boulevard. Mediterranean seafood is the specialty here. If you love scallops, be sure to try these when they are in season; plates are filled to the rim. The service, which can often be lacking in these parts, is impeccable. Reservations are not accepted, but just off the strip, there are plenty of storefronts in the neighborhood to keep you busy while you wait for your table.

Best Pasta in Portland – Delicious food. Worth the visit. They don't take reservations, and it can be a little noisy at times. We didn't want to wait for a table, so we opted for the bar. The gnocchi is pure heaven. I didn't know pasta could taste like that.

SE Jewel – Delicious food, must try. Can't make reservations, but has a great little bar to have a pre-dinner cocktail or glass of wine while you wait.

Favorite restaurant in PDX – We've been here several times now since discovering it last year. The food has always been excellent, service is impeccable and the atmosphere is classy but comfortable. This is one of the few restaurants in PDX that I would recommend without hesitations to anyone. The mussels starter (from the bar menu) are always a good choice for an appetizer and a couple times they were transcendent. The pork chops is like nothing I've tasted before - very juicy and tender - think filet mignon but with more f... read more

Better than Italy! – Took some friends there recently who had just returned from three weeks in Italy and they said this meal was better than all but one of their meals in Italy! We were so impressed with the food and the service and compared to other restaurants in this class, the prices are reasonable. We called at 5:30 and put our names on the list for later and waited maybe 10 minutes for a table when we got there at 7:00 which was fine. Our salads were lovely and the porkchops and vodka penne were amazing! Great seasona... read more

best service in Portland – The best thing about 3 doors down cafe, besides the consistently good food, the hum of diners packed in for a good meal any day of the week and the phenomenally priced and varied wine list is the service. These guys are pros. They are always on top of their game, friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and skilled. I have eaten many times at the neighborhood cafe and eventhough they don't know me by name someone always welcomes be back as if I'm family. They do get busy and the food takes time - the ... read more

Great food, horrible service for large group – I had heard so many great things about 3 Door Down that I selected the restaurant for our my office team outing. There were 8 of us. Our reservation was for 7pm on a Tuesday night. Our dinner was not served until 9:15pm. My water glass sat empty for 30 minutes. We had to ask the server multiple times to take our drink and dinner orders. The server acknowledged that it was taking a long time for us to get our meals. She said she would "take care of it". When we finally finished d... read more

Best overall meal – Had to pleasure to be taken here for my Birthday celebration with good friends. Had a great meal with dessert. Service was very attentive and we got all the bread we wanted. Seating was prompt. If I have a choice I'll go back here for another birthday celebration!!

Good food but extremely SLOW and too noisy – We ate there last night (Wednesday) at a table in the bar. It was so noisy we coudn't hear ourselves think. I walked through the dining room on the way to the restroom and it was just as bad in there. It used to be a cozy restaurant before the remodel, but now it's noisy. We had a crostini appetizer that was uninspiring and bland. This took 45 minutes to come out. Another 40 minutes later, our dinners finally arrived. I had the vodka pasta, which was excellent, but my companion ha... read more
