Three Doors Down Cafe

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.  View Less … View More

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!  View Less … View More

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.  View Less … View More
