   Amazing Christmas Eve dinner - place was slammed but handled it well - it took a bit to get started but we were not in a hurry - amazing drink and wine selection - great appetizers and steak was as expected for Prime. Highly recommend Onion Rings, Pacific Oysters, Lobster Oscar (on steak) and it was the best crème brûlée we have ever had and we are crème brûlée snobs 🤣. Hank was a great waiter - 5 Stars.

   We have been patrons at Ringside for the past 4 years. The food as per usual was lovely, the cocktails and beer were yummy, but this time we felt our service was not terrible, but definitely not ringside style. They were polite and checked on us but we all felt that their service was a bit scripted with no genuine interaction. Each time they stopped by it was as if we were part of their route. We understand every person is different and we cannot expect each waiter to have a personality that makes us feel welcome and valued. This was honestly the first time we tipped the minimum of 20% and we really felt that was not deserved. The person who boxed our food and filled our water glasses deserved to get a bigger portion of the split tips from our table as they were engaging and kind. We are not looking to feel served but would love to feel a little more than a meal ticket needing to be paid. May be awhile before we return. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

   Wonderful sevice experience, tasty cocktails, and steaks that cut like butter. A great time but got a little noisy. They have valet parking as well.

   Always a pleasure! It’s no wonder Ringside is consistently ranked in the top 10 steakhouses in America. This establishment is second to none.

   My wife and I go every year for her birthday, which is on Christmas Day. So we visit the Ringside a few days before her birthday. It is always the most stellar experience for her. We absolutely love the service. The food is pure class, so delicious. We love the elegance of the place and the community vibe, having been open since 1944. It is her favorite gift for her birthday month.♥️😀

    So sad! With all the liveries around, we had to push back to get assigned a table with a table cloth. Service and valet were great, but food was disappointing to say the least. Excellent stand out were the oysters; the crispy octopus was tough and buried in a muddle of condiments. My wife’s filet was great produce but arrived beyond medium when ordered MR; my prime rib was “solid”, at the right MR temp but chewy. Standout was the accompanying yorkshire pudding, which despite being burned black somehow escaped the kitchen; our spinach required mid-meal refire after it turned up MIA. Apple crisp for dessert was no better, with cold apples and soggy “crisp” on which the ice cream refused to melt. With such a litany of misses, Ringside’s continued acolytes leave me puzzled.
