    Albacore
    Chris B.

    Could not be happier that the original owners are back and have resurrected this Portland classic restaurant. The food was amazing as it always had been. I had the albacore and it was cooked perfectly, very fresh and just a delicious summer dinner. They have some of the best chicken pate I've ever had and the scallops were outstanding. Great cocktails, wine. Our waitress was great. Even on a busy evening she made time to chat with us and she made a great selection of wine to pair with my dinner. I have been going here since 2003, it is a true Portland classic and it is so nice to have it back. Do not miss this place.

    Cavatelli

    Just like I remember! The original owner and chef, so very awesome, prices that are reasonable, so very good, so delicious, romantic atmosphere and awesome service. PERFECT! Cavatelli and Banana cream pie.

    I tried two pastas. They had a special for 2 pastas and a bottle of wine for $40. That is the price a full dish on their menu. The tomato base pasta was heavy with anchovy and olives. The other is a cream sauce with mushrooms and parmesan. Classic dishes that are done perfectly. With great mixed drinks and service that come with fine dining, I can't wait to return.

    This place will make you want to celebrate everything little in life, if it involves coming here to celebrate. We came here for an anniversary celebration and they really hit the mark, and more, on all aspects. We weren't sure if this would be "too fancy" of a place but they couldn't be homeier or more welcoming. The decors were nice and warm, just like everybody that works there. Needless to say, service was impeccable. Water constantly filled, extra complimentary bread, desserts on the house for our anniversary. For food, we felt like we're taken on a whole new experience. The food sounded familiar but they're put together in such a unique and interesting way that we felt like we've never had a version of that this like that before. The Eggplant Parm was comforting with fresh ingredients. The Pork Tenderloin packed a punch with the coffee and chocolate rub. The Brocollini on the side was also very tasty. If there was one dish I demand that everyone tries is their Seasonal Scallop and Peach. Everybody their reccommended and said that it's "crazy good". We didn't know what to expect but those exact two words are the only way to describe them. CRAZY GOOD. We practically wiped the plate clean. The sauce was caramel-y but paired amazingly with the huge scallops that were seared to perfection. Those and the slices of peach...I still think about the dish. For our complimentary desserts, we went with the Banana Cream Pie that was, of course, delicious. Great consistency of the banana cream. The fresh banana went very well with the whipped cream and buttery crust. Eventhough we're stuffed we had to really resist the urge to get multiple desserts...They all sounded so good. I really don't know what else to say but I'm ready to go back. Honestly, a great spot for any occasion even if you just wanted a drink. Theirs is flavorful and strong. Do go check them out, if you haven't already!

    Pappardelle bolognese

    Three Doors Down is amazing! The bread appetizer with white bean spread is very unique, slightly garlicky. We ordered the Pappardelle bolognese which had al dente noodles, a sweet tomato sauce (almost like a vodka sauce) and a special of Eggplant parmigiana which had a very breaded flavor but great tomato sauce. The outside heaters were super warm and the drink menu had a wide variety of wines and some specialty cocktails.

    Starting out with seafood in mind choosing 3 doors down knowing the have the scallops on the menu. Reservations online we arrive and enter the front door greeted by a big ol' husky with professionalism reminds me of the dinner in Budapest where in the back of the restaurant mafiosa type laughter came from the owner and his guests smoking cigars and drinking whiskey while the chef served each dish personally. A gypsy band with white cloth on the violin played for the guests table side. Oh...back to 3 doors down. Nice bar to the left with a couple guests sipping on high ball type refreshing summer drinks. We were seating outside at an impressive street addition next to the traffic across the street is the Buffalo 2nd hand store for people watching. We started with bread and olives. The bread had a bean spread. The olives are your standard mix of green and black olives in olive oil. I set the bar from my time with my 2nd family in Benalua, Granada, Spain where all the village families of Benalua grow olives. Anthony Bourdain once commented on their olive oil their logo is "amaro y pico" Bourdain said this while placing the bottle for the camera to pick up on the picnic table. We then moved to the scallops and summer peaches with truffle oil, basil and cream in a sauce which would make a YouTuber proud you could spoon the cream sauce. Next were the steamer clams with the parmesan cheese you could spoon this sauce as well. All OG induced coma not a morsel to spare. Pasta was the fettuccine, prawns & clams and the pepper had a real kick with a reddish orange glare coming from the sauce. At the same type we had the pork chop mashed summer squash at the height of inn season. Fava beans and sage flavors lingered a bit as well. If you want great service, nice ambiance and astounding food this is a great place. Tip your wait staff!

    Do they allow kids? Just cross checking as some places are lenient though marked not good for kids

    Yes, of course it is restaurant. There is a bar area where the kids don't go, but everywhere else is fine.

One thing that bothered me though (and I know maybe I'll get hate for this), is I feel like some of the decor is tone deaf. They have a bunch of colonial men ceramic decor, but they partner with and serve food from a Filipino company. I'm Filipino and it was a bit offensive to me because even if the point of having them is trying to make fun of them, it's not really funny. We were colonized for over 300 yrs and still deal with the trauma from it. Please consider removing the colonial decor. I really enjoyed the bar and want to enjoy it in the future, but I don't think it's necessary to have those things in the bar and doesn't add anything to how cool the bar is apart from that. UPDATE: the bar messaged me. They were super professional and kind in their response. I really appreciate that they were open to my perspective on the colonial items and said they will be removed. Thank you so much!! Looking forward to enjoying the bar in the future

The restaurant is what used to be the lobby. It is known for being dimly lit, a little romantic, a little old school.

You can absolutely smell the fish and vinegar as soon as you walk through the door, which I think gives the place a very homey pub feel. I ordered a spiked peach Arnold Palmer, which I enjoyed (and it was pleasantly strong) and a glass of the house white, which was good for the price. Our server was very fast and attentive. To eat I got the tomato soup with a grilled cheese, which was absolutely fantastic. The soup was so creamy and flavorful, and I cannot imagine a better meal after spending all day walking outside in the rain. The fries were super crispy and I liked the batter. My partner and I shared some of their breadsticks, which were deliciously baked (fresh!) and came with a super refreshing basil crema and a nice tomato-y dip. Wonderful all. My partner ordered fish and chips, and was surprised to find that it is one large fillet of fish, not multiple pieces like you would typically expect. He said the fish was fine, but a little tough. Overall, a wonderful experience. I definitely hope to return. I highly recommend this place as a refuge during the cold winter months!

    To speak about Teardrop Lounge, I should probably start with this:…read more Ladies and gentlemen, I present my favorite cocktail bar. Not the best -- I'm not arrogant enough to claim that. I haven't been to every cocktail bar in Portland, and saying something is the best usually says more about your lack of experience than your conviction. But favorite? That I can stand behind. And I want to get that out of the way early, because of the amount of praise I'm about to pour on this place -- fully earned, completely intentional. The biggest crime here is that I only discovered it two weeks ago, after living in Portland for a year. It had been recommended to me countless times, and I ignored it. A mistake. A painful one. But now that I've found it, I don't plan on making that mistake again. I'm not typically an Old Fashioned drinker. In fact, I usually hate them. But somewhere between curiosity and too many episodes of Mad Men, I decided to try one anyway -- fully expecting to confirm my bias. Instead, it completely flipped me. Bright, almost citrus-forward in a way that felt unusual but entirely intentional. Balanced, smooth, just enough burn to remind you what you're drinking without overwhelming it. It was the first time I actually understood the appeal. I'm pretty sure I grew a few chest hairs that night. That alone would've been impressive. But it didn't stop there. The space is beautiful -- clean, intentional, but not cold. The staff are excellent: personable, engaged, and most importantly, authentic. Not scripted, not performative. The kind of people you actually want to talk to, and hopefully, eventually be on a first-name basis with. Now, all of that gets it close to a perfect score. But what pushes it over the edge -- what makes this place stick -- is the White Russian. One of the first drinks I ever had. My dad's drink. Not because of The Big Lebowski -- that came later -- but because it's just always been his thing. And at some point, it became mine too. Typically, when bars try to "elevate" a White Russian, they ruin it. They overthink it. Swap ingredients, tweak ratios, add unnecessary flair. And more often than not, it ends in disappointment. Teardrop does the opposite. They respect it -- but refine it. The coffee liqueur actually tastes like coffee. The heavy cream is properly integrated, not just dumped on top. The vodka -- whatever they're using -- is clean, present, and perfectly measured. There's a subtle complexity to it without losing what makes the drink what it is. It's the best White Russian I've ever had. No hesitation. I've gone back twice just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. If someone asked me what my death row drink would be -- this specific cocktail, from this specific bar, is in the conversation. Easily. Teardrop Lounge doesn't just make great cocktails. It reminds you why cocktails matter in the first place. And that's why it's my favorite.

    We came to Teardrop Cocktail Lounge while visiting Portland and were genuinely impressed…read more The cocktails were excellent -- thoughtful, well-balanced, and clearly made by people who know what they're doing. One of the best parts was how approachable the bartenders were. We asked for custom drinks based on our preferences, and both came out perfectly tailored. Creative without being weird, and strong without being sloppy. What really stood out was the price point. For the quality of cocktails, the prices felt very reasonable compared to similar craft cocktail bars in other cities. The vibe was also great -- relaxed, cozy, and not pretentious. It felt like a place where you could come for a special drink experience without feeling like you had to "perform" or order off a rigid menu. We liked it so much we actually came back a second time during our trip. Highly recommend if you're into well-crafted cocktails, friendly bartenders, and a laid-back but elevated atmosphere.
