RingSide Steakhouse

Food: Delicious. Literally the best meal we've ever had. Service: Impeccable. Kelly was incredibly attentive. Ambiance: Perfect. We sat by the fireplace in a booth. We had wonderful views but still had our privacy. We highly recommend.

Omg the best onion rings ever! Great service, dimly lit cozy atmosphere. The steaks were okay but I'd go back just for the onion rings.

Had dinner at the RingSide last night. It is a cozy place (i.e. plan in advance to get a reservation) with valet parking available. My friend and I made our own surf and turf by getting the sirloin and lobster tails. Our waitress offered to have the kitchen plate it that way. We both upgraded to the lobster mashed potatoes and had a side of mushrooms. Everything was delicious, but the mushrooms were exquisite. The only thing that we didn't like was the sorbet. The prices are higher than most, but the quality of the food and service is worth it. But if you are looking for a place to have a meal to celebrate a special occasion, you need to consider the RingSide.

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 !

Given the reviews and the history I went in with high expectations but unfortunately left a bit disappointed. Let's start with the good:- service was impeccable: everything was tell timed, well balanced, and super considerate- drink selection: my brut rose was top notch and my husbands old fashioned was one of the best he has ever had - oysters were incredible- French onion soup - I really wish I hadn't left this for last as I ended up being too full to finish thisDisappointments:- octopus was incredibly lack luster and the sauce it came in was not tasty- steak was cooked to perfection but almost felt as if it was boiled previously- mashed potatoes and onion rings were fine nothing incredible but not bad- outdoor seating, it felt like they just put up a tent and some tables. I highly recommend eating indoors as I do think that additional ambiance may have contributed to a higher scoreOverall I'd say come here if you're looking for an old school vibe with decent steak and great drinks.

It was a great experience to gather with my love ones food is delicious service is outstanding totally recommend, love the ambiance so elegant make you feel so welcome :)

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.

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?
