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.

UNEVEN QUALITY
gchesnutis - 02/20/2007
Sometimes the steak and service are world class...other times the meal is borderline average. I've been there a dozen or more times...half the time amazing...half the time just good...

Going Down
wwbconsult - 02/20/2007My wife and I used to really enjoy the Ringside,unfortunetly the quality and service has gone down and the price has sky rocketed.If you have money to burn and are not looking for a great meal this is te place to go.
Have been there twice
profbobz - 02/20/2007Prices were ok, the quality of the steak nor the way it was prepared was not what I expected. The server was snooty! I sent a med-rare steak back because it was blue rare inside and still cold on the inside, and I was supprised to get the same paice of meet back just reheated. Totally unaceptable for a great steakhouse. What I would expect from a Denny's (which is why I do not go there)!
Unforgettable Charm @ Dining
