BUT JUST AS IMPORTANT THE SERVER WAS FRIENDLY. WE WILL RETURN. A GREAT PLACE TO CELEBRATE SPECIAL OCCASIONS.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMReturned after several years...Moved back to Portland recently after a decade in Seattle. Needed to find a "nice" place for a business dinner near the airport hotels this past week. The restaurant is physically much like I remembered, a bit of a throwback to Steakhouses my parents went to on special occasions. This is not a criticism, it perfectly suits the location. Service was really friendly, efficient and helpful. Food was above my expectations. The original Ringside has always been my standard to measure Portland's other chop houses against. Ringside East lacks the cozy club atmosphere of the original, but it always has, it at a golf course! All in all it was really nice to revisit for a great dinner. My guests were really happy about my choice. I'll be back.5/23/2013 12:00:00 AMGreatIt was a special day for us! Our son had his graduation from Le cordon Bleu that day as well as his 23rd birthday !

Interesting and delightfull version of banana's foster as well.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMmom's birthdayOur waiter Mark was helpful and patient.
We got 3 plates of onion rings for being open table members. They were the best.
Our steaks were unbelievable and melted in your mouth. Everyone enjoyed their meals immensely.
My brother thought his steak was a little too pink but didn't want to be rude however our waiter could tell he wasn't sure about about it and immediately took it to have it cooked longer. A couple of minutes later it was returned perfect. After dinner he brought me a cup of coffee on the house because they didn't serve the drink I was looking for. You could tell that he was a professional and had many years of experience.
We paid a lot for this meal and we were impressed.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a great birthday meal!Wouldn't be a birthday without a wonderful dinner at The Ringside!5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMOld School Steaks!RingSide is an old school steak house. They know how to make it the right way! Are you on a diet? Don't like fat on your meat? Don't go here then, or you might discover what you've been missing in all that extreme lean flavorless stuff you've been eating.
Also, I will always recommend happy hour on the patio, overlooking the golf course, during a nice warm day.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMWow!, what a great meal!!First time we have been acknowledged as open table members and were given complimentary appetizers. Best steak dinner ever!!!4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMI had a wonderful meal andI had a wonderful meal and had a great server. As a solo diner, I often get less than satisfactory service. I was treated like my business was valued.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways Great!As always, dependable, consistent service and food quality are the hallmarks of RingSide East. The staff is helpful and accommodating--we try to come in once every couple of months.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMI had flower sent so thatI had flower sent so that they would be on the table. It was our 35th Wedding Anniversary. We had a gift certificate that we used so we ordered the best of everything. What made the experience very special was the service we received. We received a complementary appetizer. The orders wee taken, wine was poured. I sat next to my wife in the secluded leather booth. The dinners were served. All the food was excellently prepared. Then we had a complimentary dessert. All this was wonderful. Did I say the service was excellent? Thank you. Dutch4/11/2013 12:00:00 AMAt the last minute, I hadAt the last minute, I had to increase the number in our party from 4 to 6 and the
maitre de gracefully and quickly got a set up for us which I very much appreciated.
Waiter was just 'okay', not quite as good as usual though in fairness, it was a busy
night.
4 of us ordered the fried prawns which were not as good as usual. Believe they were over cooked and the fry grease probably was a bit old.
That being said, it was still an enjoyable experience and of course, we'll be back.4/10/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Steakhouse!Everything was wonderful. The Chicken Liver Mousse appetizer was to-die-for. One of us had the Filet Mignon and the other had the Steelhead special--both were perfectly prepared and tasted just right. Our server, Shannon, did an outstanding job. She made us feel welcome and was friendly and helpful. We had fresh-baked Chocolate Chip Cookies for dessert, and they were great. Our favorite restaurant in Portland.4/8/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat for special ocassionsWe went for a birthday celebration. Originally, we expected 5, but only 4 showed up.
I appreciate that our waiter paced our meal very well (nice and leisurely so that we could catch up), but some aspects of the service were a little too casual, such as refills on soft drinks. Water service was handled by the a secondary person on the waitstaff and was excellent. None of us were drinking alcohol that night.
Overall, a very good experience. We will definitely be back.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMThe restaurant was great.The restaurant was great. Quiet, but very dark. Wish there were some windows to enjoy the views of the lovely golf course outside.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfectOur dinner was just as expected, very nice, and we will be back. Keep up the good work.4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMfood was good, but very overpriced.food was good, but very overpriced...nothing special.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMImpeccable food and impeccableImpeccable food and impeccable service. Ringside is fantastic time after time.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMOur Favorite place to go forOur Favorite place to go for a great meal, been going since the RingSide East was opened/3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMThis restaurant is a PortlandThis restaurant is a Portland classic. It was a wonderful experience when my wife and I first ate here thirty years ago and it hasn't changed at all. Some may not like the fact that the dining room is completely windowless. However, its Pacific Northwest feeling, rich wood interior and large blazing fireplace, make it a place in which it is easy to forget the rainy day that might be outside. I didn't have to request anything because our waiter, John, was always able to anticipate our needs. The steaks were perfect (after all, it is a steak house). If my review convinces you to give them a try, you won't be disappointed.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMRingside is always a favorite,Ringside is always a favorite, and did not disappoint this time. The service is always over and above and the food wonderful. I did think the onion rings this time were not quite as piping hot as they could have been. Otherwise, 2 thumbs up!2/27/2013 12:00:00 AM
