    Dining area was draped off from the bar area which was a unique way to section the two areas. Noise could still be heard from the bar. However we were seated by the door and despite the efforts to keep the cold out my wife was could through our dinner. I appreciate the effort to section off the cold but it was still a bother. Food was good but the Pork Oso Buccu I was looking forward to ordering ran out. The ravioli was a good substitute so perhaps an earlier reservation to get full options from the menu might be needed.

    From the moment we arrived for dinner to the time we left we felt very well cared for. The welcome, the dinner choices and the food, ohmygosh the food! It is amazing, well-prepared and some of the best in the city. One can never go wrong at Three Doors Down. Sit inside or out in their sweet street area, all are comfy and wonderful. One of our very, very favorites for years.
