One of the best restaurants on the East-side!Staff and owner are friendly, honest people. They genuinely care about their first time customers and patrons. The interior design invokes a comfortable mood, supported by amazing art in the dining area or your sports highlights if you're at the bar.Speaking of...The bar hosts some of the best curated cocktails in Portland for the price and variety. Whiskey lovers will should start HH off with Matt's Manhattan-on-tap, which generally graces your hand within 5-minutes of ordering, even at peak dining. The HH food menu is a delightful sampling of their chef's talent (I recommend the bib salad paired with an order of meatballs) to intrigue your palette towards main menu. The pasta and main options host season rotations, which are generally previewed by the monthly newsletter delivered via email.The highlight of my last visit (03/2024): The Caramelized brioche with lemon curd. I was fortunate enough to taste this limited-time dessert and had to fight off my wife's fork to the last bite!I can't recommend this establishment enough. Jeff and his talented team continue to improve upon the service and menu every time I visit. This is truly a restaurant where you get exceptional food and service for your money.Parking: I recommend car-pooling or ride-share/cab to this establishment. Street and neighborhood parking is available, but limited off SE Hawthorne street. Plus with the quality and variety of wine and cocktails you should be considering responsible transportation to/from the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor restaurant, outdoor street seating or movable tables for easy wheelchair accessibility. The bathrooms are large, single rooms just off the dining/bar area in a spacious hallway.
The hours on Google are not accurate. It is a shame to drive and find parking and walk in the rain just to find this out when arriving at the door.

This neighborhood gem is always a pleasure to visit. The food was well prepared and delicious! There are plenty of options for vegetarians as well as omnivores. The portions are very generous. We love the ambiance and wonderful art. The servers are attentive, friendly and efficient. This is a favorite place to take friends and out of town guests.

One of the best small neighborhood restaurants in Portland that's been around for 20+ years and has always been consistently good. We've been enjoying the food and service at 3 Doors since they were a small bistro in half the space they currently occupy, and they have been one of our go-to Italian dining spots for many years.

We are on Three Doors Down's email list, and learned of a special pasta they are serving this month - rye tagliatelle, cranberry beans, carrot, parmesan brodo, aged provolone and winter greens, so we had to try it. It was delicioius! The tagliatelle was cooked perfectly and the savory sauce was wonderful. We also shared seared scallops atop a silky parsnip puree served with a fabulous frisee salad with poached prawns. Amazing! We started with the bread and white bean spread (can't dine here without ordering this) and some nicely crafted cocktails. Our server was great, and everyone working there was super friendly. Looking forward to returning soon.

We needed an east side dinner venue prior to a concert at Revolution Hall. 3 Doors had an opening so our family of 4 took it! What we appreciated the most was the courteous and kind service of every person we interacted with. We felt very cared for. The food was delicious and generous. Each of us had a pasta dish and each enjoyed our respective choices. I had the short rib pasta which was flavorful and great comfort food for a windy rainy Portland evening. I shared a Caesar salad with my son which was fresh and ample for sharing. Pricing was reasonable. We will return.
With all of the shiny new comers to the Portland food scene over the years it's easy to forget about this venerable Hawthorne neighborhood gem. Not a huge menu but the food was great, people were friendly and the space was warm and inviting.

We both gave the food about a 5/10 for flavor. The appetizer plate were paltry, the salad was okay, my risotto was mediocre and my husband liked the scallops. Dessert was a pudding, okay but certainly not super. I like the place as a neighborhood restaurant but could be better.

We have yet to be disappointed at 3 Doors Down. While the menu is more limited these days, the dishes change frequently so you won't get bored. On this visit, both our gnocchi and black cod with clams were excellent while the Panna cotta was super smooth and creamy - as it should be. The Roero Arneis, a nice semi-dry Italian white wine from Piedmont, was new to us and proved very enjoyable. As always, service was efficient and friendly. What's not to like?
I've been meaning to try 3 Doors Down for about 20 years and I wish I'd come in sooner! Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. She made great wine suggestions and told us about a special seafood dish (sole) that was delicious. We had appetizers, pasta, and main courses that came to our table in a timely manner. Bread with bean spread was a pleasant surprise and paired so well with a bowl of clams. We shared an order of ziti. I could have eaten a whole bowl. It was perfect. The pork was also outstanding. We will be back SOON.

Three Doors Down is consistently great; the seafood linguini in a tomato based sauce was hot and tasty; it is my favorite dish and the special seafood of the night was petrale sole and it was hot and tasty as well according to my wife. The restaurant was busy but the service was still timely. We were belatedly celebrating out 53rd wedding anniversary and we were not surprised. We go to Three Doors Down for all our important birthdays and anniversaries. Michaelesq

Fantastic eatery! I’ve been here a few times over the years, most recently for a family birthday dinner. Jeff (owner) and his team never fail to delight. Even though they were short staffed that night, the service was still attentive and friendly, and the food was on point. My group left feeling happy, full, and satisfied. Highly recommend.
