    A truly exceptional dining experience at Screen Door Eastside! Every dish was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing fresh, high-quality ingredients with innovative flavor combinations. The service was impeccable, with our waiter providing knowledgeable recommendations and attentive care throughout the evening. The ambiance was elegant yet comfortable, creating the perfect setting for a special occasion. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu. I do not recommend the downtown location because the Eastside location is simply the best. Literally. Amazing!

    If I could give this place 8 stars, I would. STOP SLEEPING ON STREET DISCO AND GO NOW! No, stop questioning it, just do it and stop thinking about it. Trust me, it’ll be the sweetest, most delightful surprise of your year. We’ve been here 8 times in the last year and it has yet to disappoint. The cocktails are phenomenal and seasonally charming. The tinned fish is a sleeper hit and is always scrumptious. The food is the perfect combo of high brow/low brow that is exceptionally seasoned, portioned perfectly and tastes like angels made it. Oh, and the staff is kind, chatty in the best way and absolutely has trustworthy opinions - we have never been steered wrong. I’ll write a review for this place over and over again, and it will ALWAYS be 5 stars. Our favorite restaurant in Portland, and truly a ridiculously special neighborhood secret that deserves all the love!
