What People Are Saying About RingSide Steakhouse Downtown
The Owner
RingSide Steakhouse Downtown
Owner
Since 1944, RingSide Steakhouse has been the PRIME place for steaks that are carved on premises. The ever evolving menu offers the steak aficianado perfectly-seasoned USDA Prime beef. In addition, diners may select chops, chicken, and Northwest seafood. The world class onion rings are those that James Beard claimed..."are the best in the world".
Wines from around the world are offered but a special selection of Northwestern wines highlight the extensive list of some 700 labels. Finishing off the meal with an extravagant house-made dessert is what is also anticipated in this traditional American steakhouse, In Portland, RingSide is the PRIME steakhouse!

In Short
This dimly lit bistro provides hearty fare in its heavy-brick dining room with cozy tables, a blazing fireplace and tuxedoed service. Diners sample its legendary crisp, thick-sliced onion rings with house dipping sauce and its signature baked sweet onion soup with Gruyere cheese. The bone-in New York steak is 20 ounces. Side it with sweet corn casserole or béarnaise asparagus. Leave room for decadent chocolate-mousse silk pie with a candied almond crust and chocolate ganache.

This place is too dark inside. Maybe so you don't see the fat in your steak. Our waiter was very unpleasant and rude (grumpy old man) maybe because we did not look like we had money. $50 steaks are too fatty. Bone in steaks are suppose to be the best. Half of our steaks were fat. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Ruth Chris is alot better. I think this place is over rated and the employee's should not be wearing tuxedo's.

I love going to the Ringside for the best steak in town! Friendly people with just the right atmosphere! I know that there are others in town that try to compare, but they don't quite reach the mark when it comes to the overall review. The Ringside staff remember your name, their prices are great...and sometimes that corner booth in the lounge is a nice place to just hang out!

This has always been my favorite for Hawaiian food, and then I see this on Channel 6 news that they are closing my favorite place.It's getting to the point, that it's too dangerous to eat out anymore. Here at Trimet, we have had many or our drivers who have patronized that place over the years. Good luck to you guys and I hope you recover from this bad event. But for now I am going to have to give you a one star. According to regional health authorities, the recent E.Coli outbreak in Portland, Oregon, which has seen a rising number of people (130) falling victim to it, could be put down to a produce supplier who unknowingly distributed contaminated produce in the commercial market. While, investigation is underway, the health authorities have not identified any supplier so far, nor have they confirmed any single product as a source of the outbreak. Though, Dr. Monir Taha, the associate medical officer for the Portland public h@alth dep@rtment says lettuce is the most common food patients reporting symptoms of the food borne illness reveal having eaten.
