RingSide Steakhouse Downtown

not worth the $$$

by bethheldenbrand at Citysearch

This was my 1st visit to this place. I am a tourist from So. Calif. I sat down to a dirty place setting. I ordered filet mignon meduim and they served it to me WELL DONE. I finally got another when the other 4 diners with me were finished. My husband ordered an in-bone rib eye steak that turned out to be 80% fat. The waiter was so obsequiesse as to be annoying.

All in all, I will never go back.

• Pros: none

Poor Service...Good Lamb..

by lmrrn at Citysearch

Service was very poor. We had to go back twice to check on our table (yes we had reservations) but were finally seated 20 minutes late. The waiter forgot to bring our drinks, never offerred the wine list, forgot the dessert and although he offered to call the limosine service, he forgot that, too... and lost the card with the number! This restaurant has lost the atmosphere of the past and it's reputation will soon fade, also...The noise and atmosphere reminds me of a Hubers for the 55+ crowd! The rack of lamb, however, was fabulous...but considering the service and lack of ambience, no longer is it worth the time or cost!

Not as good as the Hype!

A bunch of people in Portland swear by this establishment. I truely don't know why. The truth of the matter is that the Ringside is tired and the food doesn't hold a candle to some of the other steakhouses in town. You should try somewhere else..

• Cons: dark, poor quality, over rated

Highly overrated!

This place wasn't as great as I had expected. Although I had reservations, the wait was still 30 minutes. The steaks weren't that great, not to mention the services. Don't waste your time and money. Definitely overpriced!
