• Southern • Pearl District
Booked 20 times today
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.

Portland's Oven and Shaker is a popular dining destination for locals and visitors who crave artisan pizzas and unique bar drinks served in a warm and inviting setting. The nettle pesto arancino rice ball made with parmesan risotto and mushrooms and the fried calamari and octopus fritto misto with lemon and honey make stunning starters. In addition to traditional pizza choices, like margherita and bianca, Oven and Shaker crafts specialty pizzas, like the maple pig topped with apple butter, smoked ham, pork belly and maple mascarpone, the goat cheese topped with roasted leeks, prosciutto and aged balsamic and the vegetarian cauliflower topped with peppers, olives and cheese. Accompanying your pizza with a craft beer or cocktail, like the pineapple trainwreck made with rum, lemon, pineapple and ginger syrup, is a winning idea.For a sweet finale, enjoy Oven and Shaker's homemade mint chocolate stracciatella gelato.

    The food was stellar! Each course a master class in the indigenous and trade route history of Mexico. The flavors danced, and flirted, and then married into deliciousness on the tongue. I cannot tell you all the courses. Though I did get a lovely gift of the evening's menu, so perhaps I will later amend this for a description of each. It is unlikely you will ever get this specific menu again. It had been a long time since my last prix fixe chef's menu. Especially one this large And then adding the wine flight. The wine flight was perfectly paired and delicious. It brought very fresh fruit flavors and deeper Pinot Noir roundness to absolutely delicious food. I might suggest pacing oneself better than I did. I was a tad inebriated. Then again it was our anniversary, so why not? Come enjoy this the moment you can. It is a treasure of warmth and comfort, as well as quite informative. They explain each dish's origins as they serve you. But come for the food. It is transcendent!!
