  • Great for fine wines
"Inclusive from the moment you grace the doorway, 3 Doors Down Cafe and Lounge has a keen acumen for speeding up your wind down, flipping the switch from maddening day to welcoming respite. A playful, thoughtful, and engaging dining experience begins with the dynamic wine list (including barrel to bar wines by the glass), flowing effortlessly to the inventive starters, big bowls of pasta and shellfish, perfectly grilled fish and meats. 3 Doors Down Cafe and Lounge offers a doff of the hat to Mother Italy and a harmonious affair with locally procured Pacific Northwest cuisine. Come in, sit down, and eat!"

    We had a reservation that I had made days ahead. When we arrived the restaurant was closed!! I know they are still open for business, no one bothered to reach out and let us know that they were closed for the evening. Very disappointed because we had planned for a special evening and dinner.

    We loved everything about 3 Door Down. It’s where we often went straight from the airport when we’d be away too long and brought visiting friends and family. It’s where we’d sit and the bar and make decisions over drinks and the awesome happy hour menu. Or chat with strangers. The food was always great. The service a perfect mix of professional and friendly. And we are heartbroken that it has closed.

    The restaurant was closed! Thus, after several wonderful visits over years, is there an end to this era?

    This restaurant closed and failed to let us know. We have gone there for YEARS and have always enjoyed ourselves. We had invited friends and were all dressed up for a fun evening and we had to find another place to go on a Friday night. TERRIBLY disappointing!!

    Our favorite local restaurant. Warm inviting atmosphere, wonderful art, friendly staff and delicious food! We also love their pasta nights special deal - you can’t find a better value anywhere! And they have Manhattans on tap and really great salads and starters that are all good to share.

    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.
