Restaurants near Frances Building and Echo Theater

I love this restaurant! I've been coming here since it opened, and it's become a longstanding tradition for me and my friends. Service is always extremely fast, food is delicious, and waitstaff are lovely. Highly recommend!

Nostrana is an (almost) hidden Portland treasure! The space and ambiance is warm yet epic, the entire staff seems to be operating on another level from other fine dining restaurants in Portland; they're engaged, friendly, warm, and yet professional and perfectionistic in the best possible ways. The food, all of it, was super-fresh and really special. Might have something to do with them having their own chef's garden right across the street. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

We had a lovely Georgian Supra this evening. The food was amazing; each dish had its own distinctive flavor and richness. There was so much food. My party enjoyed the wine pairings and the ability to try so many Georgian wines. I really enjoyed the communal table! It’s not often that one can share conversation with strangers while dining. I think we should all do that more often. Thank you Katcha for sharing your knowledge, your passion for fine food and your concern for the people of Georgia.

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.

What a lovely place! Staff is friendly and the food is delicious. I had the shaking beef. It was tender and not too spicy. My husband had the salt and pepper calamari which he loved. Other companions and the rice bowls. We started with the spring rolls which were some of the best I've ever had. The house wine is very good! Looking forward to dining there again. Highly recommend.
