Making things from scratch is great and Three Doors Down does that but I'm not sure the flavors are there. Dishes were all just ok for me. They' re either too bland or over salted. Service is excellent and the space is warm and inviting.

This Used to be My Favorite Restaurant. My spouse and I used to frequent this restaurant on a regular basis, usually on Saturday. We decided to go on a Wednesday and were thoroughly disappointed. I ordered the flank steak with creamed spinach and my spouse had the pork sugo. The food was mediocre and later that evening I ended up with intestinal upset to the point I spent a lot of the early morning hours in the bathroom.

I don't think we'll be going back any time soon, which is sad because we really liked that place, but something has changed.

Great food, great drinks, great service!!. We went to TDD on a Wednesday night, were seated promptly and our waitress was great - attentive, polite, professional. We ordered the "New Old Fashioned" and it was simply the best bourbon drink I've had in a Portland restaraunt.

We enjoyed the fresh bread and white bean dip, both were replaced promptly when empty. For starters, we had a panko encrusted eggplant salad - perfectly cooked, great texture and grilled artichoke with aoili - again cooked perfectly and arrived at our table hot.

Our main courses were manicotti and a risotto with fresh corn and topped with fresh basil and cherry tomatoes. The manicotti was amazing, the risotto was simply perfect - complex taste, perfect texture and great presentation on both items. The quantity of both items was perfect if you are pretty hungry - I ate too much, but I could have eaten the risotto until I was sick - it was great. For dessert, we shared a lemon curd with fresh berries and whipped cream - again, complex, fairly delicate taste and texture just right.

So, two people, two starters, two entrees, one dessert, two cocktails, final tab $62.00. Super value, everything was absolutely great - we'll be back soon!

A bit disappointed. After a friend told me to give Three Doors Down Cafe a try. The Cafe has a diverse wine list of some good local and import labels. The server recommended a Saumur Champagny by the glass. My guest and I agreed to give that one a go. Our dinner choices included a nice mixed green salad, roast chicken and gnocchi. The food preparations were in keeping with the cost ; middle of the road. The wine however, at $16.00 per mid-sized glass was over valued and really put a downward cast on the rest of the experience. $72.00 for three shared appetizers and two glasses of ho-hum..... I will order somethings else next time I give it a try.
