Celebrated our anniversary at Ring Side and it did not disappoint! Thank you Ring Side for making the evening special. From the espresso martinis to the crème brûlée- everything was amazing. We ordered the Ribeye for two and it was cooked to perfection. Medium rare and seasoned just right. Easy to cut and not overcooked like some places make the ends. We had the garlic mashed potatoes, rice, hollandaise sauce all on the side. For our apps we got the ring side onion rings (highly suggest!!) and the crab cakes which were delicious. The crème brûlée and cheesecake are amazing! We took dessert to go and I'm sure it would be even better in restaurant. One thing that I would say is bring a jacket- it was a bit chilly inside !

I came to celebrate a big number birthday with my family. Wanted some place a little fancier and celebratory, this was it! The food was excellent, the service superb and couldn't be happier. Our server was warm, welcoming and helpful. First we ordered the onion rings, they were so good! They came with ketchup and house blue cheese sauce. Delicious, large and crispy and not greasy. That was accompanied by a their Ringside old fashioned. I ordered the dry age ribeye steak with lobster mushroom and delicious sauce. My son got a regular ribeye but nothing regular in terms of looks and taste! So delicious. My husband got the salmon and our server mentioned how rare it is normally cooked but suggested pan fried.my husband totally enjoyed the salmon pan fried and appreciated the option! We also had Madeira mushrooms, this was easily the best mushrooms I've ever had. We ended with a tasty creme brûlée. Our water was always filled. The lighting was dark and moody, romantic and old school. This isn't everyday but a special dinner place for me. I will be back!

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT & EXCELLENT!! Do I really need to say more? Food, service, hosts, valet...all EXCELLENT. Bring your wallet. My wife and I had a couple of filets with mashed potatoes and rice. All cooked to perfection. The onion rings are great and we shared the best iceberg wedge salad I've ever had. We each had drinks and wine and we both had a dessert. We both took boxes home and had dinner again the next night. Dinner with the tip was $311 and $20 to the valet because parking around there sucks. Far better than any other upper end steakhouse I've eaten in.

Best steak in the city of Portland. The service is very old school almost literal "Servant" style accommodations... They pull out chairs and even escort you to the restroom... The food is as perfect as you'd expect for the money the establishment is beautiful... The ultra professional service isn't exactly my style but they are executing exactly what they are attempting to perfectly. I feel like if I tossed my wine glass at the wall one of the servers would have caught it mid air, polished it up with one of the towels they carry, refilled it with something on the house, and apologized to me for wine glasses behavior... If that is your thing you might really love this place. The food was perfect, I am a grill guy, the steak was cooked to perfection, just tasted like the highest quality meat money can buy. Everything tasted great, I don't know what else to say. Yes absolutely go to ringside. Why wouldn't you?

Haven't been since our first trip to Portland 15 yrs ago. Happy to see they've kept their high standards in place. We shared the oysters on a half shell. Side of mignonette sauce, fresh grated horseradish & mini Tabasco sauce bottle. Yes, it's always a risk to do raw oysters. However, the safest place to partake, would be a VERY good restaurant. So, we devoured them within minutes of hitting the table. SO GOOD! We split the Caesar salad to avoid over stuffing ourselves. Served "chopped salad" style. Crispy croutons, shredded parm, just enough dressing to coat the romaine. Very nice example of a Caesar salad. My son had the NY steak. Served perfectly med-rare as requested. HUGE baked potato with all the fixings. The house butter was lightly flavored with Worcestershire sauce(?). Really good choice. I chose my fav Rib eye steak served rare. Just perfect. Flavorful, perfectly seasoned & not needing any other accoutrements. They really do an outstanding job with steaks here. Not knowing the restaurants history, I'm assuming it's been around for decades. Probably will continue decades longer. Also shared the sautéed cabbage side. Not something we would have ordinarily ordered. However, it was a nice change from mushrooms, or asparagus. The added mix-in of the egg yolk really added richness to this dish. At the suggestion of our waiter, Daniel, we had the house-made chocolate toffee with a glass of Port. Thin sheets of dark chocolate & chunks of toffee. Yes. It was great. Nice job Daniel. This is Portland's version of Peter Luger. Has that old steakhouse vibe. Dark, cozy, & comfortable. Makes you feel like ordering a martini or an old fashion. Great place to have a well prepared steak dinner. Friendly staff. Well versed waitstaff. Attentive restaurant managers. This place is gold.

Place never disappoints! Classic steak house with great wine selection. Onion rings and prime rib are truly first rate!

We recently came to Portland for my sister's bachelorette. She loves steakhouses and so when I found out that RingSide Steakhouse is the oldest steakhouse in Portland, I knew we had to come here. Online the reservations portal only allows for reservations for party of seven or less. Eight or more, you have to email them. So I did and got my options. When I let them know that I was just interested in dining in the main area they did that for me. They called me the day before our reservation to confirm. When we arrived we were greeted immediately. When we sat down our server was great. He explained the menu and answered all our questions. The majority of our group got the ribeye for two and split them. And the nice part is the restaurant splits and serves it on separate plates. We also ordered a large order of onion rings for the table. We also ordered several sides to share amongst the table. We ordered the cabbage, pole beans, lobster mashed potatoes, and Korean spiced heirloom carrots. I got the crab cakes as my meal. All the food was good. The ribeye comes with one choice of a side. The ribeye was tender and everyone's was cooked just the way they asked. The dessert was delicious. They also sent the crème brûlée free of charge since we were celebrating. The chocolate mousse was so good. The banana ice cream was so good and it worked with the whole dessert. The cheesecake was good too.

Everything we put into our mouths tasted amazing. We made reservations a couple weeks in advance. They called ahead to confirm and I had to ask about parking - they have their own valet private lot. The dark wood features and fireplace and decor made for a cozy atmosphere. We were seated in a booth and offered delicious sourdough bread. We got a small basket of their fried French onion rings that were so dang good. They come with this special blue cheese dipping sauce that is to die for. I ordered the New York steak with a baked potato and it was cooked to my liking. My friend wanted hers a bit more done so she sent it back twice - I think they error on the side of under cooking it instead of over cooking. They have a terrific drink menu but I'm on antibiotics so I opened for their yummy mocktail that I would recommend if you enjoy tiki drinks. I can't wait to come back. Everyone was so nice.
