Three Doors Down Cafe


I hadn't been to Three Doors Down in over ten years. When we first moved to Portland it was one of the better restaurants in town, specializing in Italian fare. The good news is it seems to have progressed with the times and is still a vibrant and relevant place. Located just off SE Hawthorne on 37th Street it is easy to miss if you are walking or especially driving by.

I can't really remember what the place was like the first time I was there, but it is open and airy now, with a clean and elegant palate. You can sit in the dining room or get the full menu in the bar, they also have a nice wine and cocktails list. We started with the cured meats, cheese and olive plate that was very nice. For entrees we tried a pasta dish and the grilled chicken. Both were huge plates with plenty of food to take home. The highlight of the meal though was the banana cream pie desert. It was truly delicious.

So next time you are shopping on Hawthorne or catching a movie at the Baghdad Theater, make the extra effort to find Three Doors Down for a great meal.

Awesome blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
I'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm
a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress
or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out
there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Thank you!

First of all I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question in which
I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head before writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Thank you!
