NE Portland

About the restaurant

Walk-in's always welcome! Screen Door is a restaurant that presents itself as a love letter to the American South and the revival of regional cooking. Each day, the restaurant receives natural, local organic meats and produce from nearby vendors. The inclusion of regional Pacific Northwest ingredients into a menu of dishes developed in the south has created a unique flavor profile in Screen Door's menu. Many of Screen Doors dishes draw their inspiration from Louisiana and the Cajun cooking that's found there. These include our world-famous Fried Chicken, Lowcountry shrimp and grits, smoked andouille chicken gumbo and fried okra. Other items, like the house-smoked beef brisket and braised pork shoulder, come straight from the state of Texas. The rest of the South is well represented as well with a Carolina pulled pork sandwich, chicken and waffles, crispy fried oysters and a pimiento cheese & sausage biscuit sandwich with a fried egg and cheddar grits.

Great place for our date night! Everything was clean and professional. Food was amazing 👏 and the views were awesome too. Very limited on the parking, but thankfully they had complementary valet parking available. The main entres were about $40 per person and they had tons of different wines available. I can see myself coming back again

About the restaurant

Already open ten years and counting, this neighborhood establishment is still a go-to for easy drinking, a variety of plates, and overall good times. The frequently updated event calendar keeps the door swinging, and new friends the regulars are always bringing.

Ideal for large groups, the menu features seasonal, global-inspired tavern fare, extensive craft beer offerings and original handcrafted cocktails.

Early and late happy hours keep guests glued to their seats as they get caught up on the latest sports games airing all around the restaurant, and the daily food and drink specials keep locals and visitors alike coming back again and again.

And have you heard the talk about brunch? Those donuts though.

About the restaurant

Tucked into one of Portland’s beautifully restored industrial buildings, Olympia Provisions Southeast has grown from establishing the city’s first salumeria to being a destination for refined, European-style dishes. Our menu here is guided by the capable hands of Chef Matthew Jarrell, and reflects an innovative approach to the traditions of rustic Spanish and Mediterranean cooking. In combining these methods with the clean, bold flavors of the Pacific Northwest, Jarrell's dishes highlight the locally-sourced meats and seasonal vegetables you’ll find on his menus. Enjoy in our main dining area or indoor patio.

7 of us had brunch here. Our wait staff paid attention and refilled drinks before they were empty, and didn’t rush us out the door. I appreciated that they allowed us to enjoy our meal and were around if we needed them, but weren’t stopping by every 5 minutes to ask us how we were doing. Our food took a little longer (maybe 30 minutes from ordering), but without asking they brought out olives and nuts to snack on while waiting. Will be back again.

Marco's Cafe is one of my "go to" restaurants. The food, staff, drinks, and atmosphere are reliably wonderful. I took a notoriously picky eater there this time and they raved about it afterward. There's something on the menu for everyone. I really appreciate both the variety of menu options and the quality of the ingredients and cooking. I highly recommend Marco's Cafe.

We're less steak and more house. Our house - and yours.

Took my mom and husband to Afternoon Tea for a holiday celebration and it was great. The restaurant confirmed with me three times that they could accommodate my mom's food allergy ahead of time and her choices were excellent. The service and ambiance were outstanding and the food was delicious. My one wish is that it were just a bit quieter for conversation, but the noise level was still reasonable for a full restaurant. We ill definitely return for Afternoon Tea and I hope they consider offering it year round.
