Diner Reviews

"We've been to the Ringside - Uptown, but this was our first time to the Eastside. We went because it's Portland Dining Month. We shared a plate of onion rings (fantastic) and had the PDX prix fixe 3 - course dinners; my wife had the stuffed chicken and I had the Willapa Bay oysters. We both enjoyed our entree. We'll be back probably for Happy Hour this spring to enjoy the outdoors."

"Gorgeous dining areas, the fire was a beautiful touch, if a bit warm for me personally. The service was absolutely exceptional - our waiter was friendly, engaging and very knowlegable (thanks Bob!) The food was perfectly prepared, flavorful and the portions were very generous. It was a really lovely dining experience."

"Myself and five other gentlemen visited The Ringside 03/08/14. I have been there numerous time and had spoke highly of the food and the service. No one was disappointed. Good food, good wine and very good service. Thank you for an enjoyable evening."

"We tried their $29 special. The onion soup was divine, entrees cooked perfectly and crème brulee yummy."

"The Ringside is always great, I usually dine downtown but decided to try this one and was not disappointed. Service and food were good and the Onion Rings, as always were great."

"My husband had never been and I and a girlfriend have had appetizers in the bar. The "famous" onion rings were tasty but very greasy. Onion soup needed lots and lots of salt. My husband had oysters (I know, in a steak house) they were heavily breaded and greasy. He said the oysters were good once you peeled off the breading. Fries were nothing special, just oily fries. Balsamic vinaigrette was not good and did not care for their house dressing, blue cheese and french combo. My chicken breast was the best I've ever had and the creme brulee was fine. Very dark on our side of the dining room. Too dark to see well. Our server, Sheila, was fantastic. Best part of the whole experience. We won't be back. At those prices everything should be good."

"Had always wanted to try out the Ringside seeing that is rated top 10 Steakhouses. The Ringside didn't disappoint and their food and service are superior. When in Portland I highly recommend the Ringside if you want a fantastic steak meal!"

"Everything was really good for our first night. Reservations recommended. Friendly staff, good selection. Hope to try the downtown location the next time I am in PDX."

"The Bone-In Ribeye is just outstanding - tremendous flavor; juicy; seared outside; cooked perfectly. Advanced reservations help a lot on Saturday night."

"We have enjoyed the Ringside for years for a lunch of friends. Some of the servers have become special friends. They treat us really special."

"My date and I really enjoyed everything about Ringside"

"I set our reservations two weeks in advance. I even called to confirm them. When we arrived we had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. What's the point of a reservation? I understand that "things happen". However, no apology was given and the hostess's (male) reaction was as though we should be happy we even got a seat. Food was good."
Dined on 2/15/2014
"My wife sent her steak back and the manager brought it back on a tiny bread dish, tacky! She looked my wife up and down, rolled her eyes, and asked if it looked ok. We told her we were taking it home because our dinner took over two hours to arrive. We explained it to our server Bob, who was wonderful, and that's when the manager returned. She gave the fakest apology I ever heard, condescending and rude. She eventually comped the whole check although I offered to pay. It was a special occasion and we were looking forward to it, but it was ruined. We did enjoy the happy hour in the lounge and the server Bob was wonderful."
Dined on 2/16/2014
"We booked a reservation to celebrate Valentine's Day and our 22nd anniversary. As we were seated at our table, we were handed the menus, and a "Happy 22nd Anniversary" was printed (in lovely script & colored gold) across the top of the menus. That was really a nice touch. And we were offered a 'free' dessert for this very special occasion. During the summer, we love to come in an have a few drinks and some of their wonderful onion rings!"

"I have read about Ringside. The food was ok. I wasn't overly impressed. Had a lobster tail that was overcooked. Meal was "OK". Service was good, not excellent for a "Top Steak House". Hopefully, next time I try them again it will be better."
Dined on 1/11/2014
"We were seated by the fireplace and enjoyed the food and atmosphere and the service. I had the prime rib which was cooked to perfection. My husband had the New York steak with the addition of lobster and asparagus. I don't remember what it is called but he really enjoyed the sauce and raved aobut it. I should have taken a bite when he offered it to me. The waiter was effecient and attentive and right there when we wanted to ack a question even though he was very busy because it was Valentine's Day."

"Not only was our waiter (Bob) absolutely fantastic and attentive but the food was wonderful. All in all, it was a very pleasant dining experience."
Dined on 2/16/2014
"My wife and I dined at the Ringside for the first time on February 13 (to beat the Valentine's Day rush). The dry-cured steaks were exceptional! I was able to devour a 14 oz. ribeye by myself and my wife ate barely half of the poterhouse. The service was outstanding. The prices were quite high so this is not a meal we would order too often. We plan to return again this year to try the early dinner menu (~$30/person) and the Willapa Bay fried oysters."

"My wife & I went to RingSide Eastside for Valentines Day, but couldn't book a reservation because they were full on Friday evening, so we went on Saturday instead. We were late and called ahead to let them know. They were very accommodating & assured us that it was okay. We arrived at the restaurant about 20 minutes after our reservation time & were seated right away. Our waitress did a fantastic job of pacing the meal perfectly. The restaurant had a slight smokey plume inside....they must have had something happen in the kitchen. It was only slightly noticeable & was gone after 30 minutes or so. The steak was delicious & we enjoyed a good bottle of wine. Unfortunately, they were out of our first wine choice. Good dining experience overall."
Dined on 2/15/2014
"I made reservations to dine well in advance, so I was surprised that we were seated by the back door even though there were many open tables in the main dining room. I felt like we were seated on the back porch as it was very drafty and there were cobwebs floating above our heads. The salads were drenched in salad dressing so much that we could not eat them. My husband ordered the steak medallions with garlic mashed potatoes. The steak was very good, but the mashed potatoes were dry and very lumpy with no flavor. I had the linguine with prawns and it lacked in flavor so much that I had to use quite a bit of salt. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. I've had better service and food in a burger joint."

"The service here was amazing and the food was also. Probably the best steak I have had in a while."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"We visited the Eastside Ringside the Saturday after Valentines day. This was our first-ever visit, and we had heard good things about this steak house. The service was fantastic. Our host and wait staff were attentive and made us feel as if we were special guests that evening. We both ordered the 3-course surf n turf. All three courses: the soup, the entree and the dessert can be described the same way. They each were bland and uninspiring. The steak and prawns were average, with nothing to distinguish them in flavor from an Applebee's or Olive Garden. The same held true for the dessert. The service met our expectations. The food did not."
Dined on 2/15/2014
"Great food and service! Steaks were so juicy and flavorful! Awesome service, ask for Bob!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
"Service was slow, but a busy evening....our waiter Bob B. was informant and entertaining. I marked only "kid friendly" above, due to the fact I arrived at the conclusion taking a date there is a joke; atmosphere was that of a daycare or checkout line at the Wilsonville Wal-Mart."

"A fabulously lavish dining experience without having to travel to downtown. Top flight, professional wait staff!!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
"If these rooms are going to exist, they need a little sprucing up/redecorating. Although I made the reservation well in advance (a week or two), we were seated at one of several small tables set up in front of a long banquette in a back room. And while I had dressed beyond the restaurant's suggestion of "dressy casual," my party and I were surrounded by people who had disregarded that suggestion. Frankly I felt as if we were being punished for something and put in a penalty box. This happened one other time and I'd really rather never sit there again. They are unfashionably gloomy, dark, and not in keeping with the other part of the restaurant. Otherwise the evening was a wonderful success."

"we had an excellent waiter... we were a excited bunch of ladies and he was very personable... he catered to our every whim.... and it made for a very special night for us .... we are 4 sisters and one cousin that always share our birthday in a special way because of being born in the same month... and he made it special.... our names on the menu for our special occasion was an unexpected surprise and everyone had to save their menus... what a fun idea... keep up the good work. I would like to say that I wanted your restaurant because of the oysters but did not like the change to deep fried rather than the pan fried that you use to have.. but a great evening ... thank you the birthday girls"
Dined on 2/1/2014
"Our reserved table was not ready when we arrived. We asked if we could sit in the bar instead and were told yes there was a table. We were seated in a room off of the bar. The service was slow. Drinks took a long time to arrive. Prime rib had no seasoning. Food overall was average for the price. We will not be back."

"Have the onion rings. I did not care for the Reuben The wine was perfect....we had tha pino Excellent staff. You will not believe this, but the Reuben from Arby's is wonderful and I HATE fast food. Take it home and pretend you are in a NY Deli."

"We brought two other couples with us both of which had never eaten at Ringside. All six of us enjoyed our food and service immensely. The steaks were phenomenal!"

"Superb experience! Greeted upon entering with warm smiles by friendly employees. Wait staff was beyond excellent. I have been eating at Ringside East since the early 80's and every single time I have had nothing but extremely positive experiences! My restaurant of choice for casual or very important dining experiences"

"Excellent food and service, always good, will return when the golf season commences.."
Dined on 1/11/2014
"We can count on Ringside to be consistent in preparation and presentation of all meals. The steaks are especially cooked to perfection, and never need to "send back." We enjoy dining there and don't mind paying a higher price because the food is consistently excellent, unlike many of its local competitors who charge a high price and the quality doesn't match the price tag. Ringside definitely is top drawer."
