Valued guests, After 66 years of operating our West Burnside location on Nob Hill, RingSide Steakhouse will be temporarily closing May 14, 2010 for a remodel. The great news is that RingSide will be returning to Burnside in early 2011. Between then, we have arranged to relocate to the mezzanine floor of the Fox Tower, 838 SW Park Ave., opening Tuesday, May 25th. Why would we move? While many of our guests are fiercely loyal, we did not want you to be inconvenienced by the typical “pardon our dust” banner draped around a plastic wrapped restaurant. In fact, if we worked around the construction, we still would have had to close for 6-8 weeks of the 6 month remodel project. We are also very fortunate to have some of the best and most professional servers in Portland. Many of them are an extension of our family, having been with us for decades treating our guests like family too. They too would have been negatively impacted by a remodel and the resulting decrease in guest visits that accompany a remodel. Guests have pleaded with us not to change the timeless, old-school atmosphere of the RingSide on Burnside. Rest assured we are committed to enhancing the memorable RingSide experience through our remodel, maintaining the integrity of the classic steakhouse feel. We will be adding an additional dining room to accommodate more guests. This room can also be closed off for private dining space to meet your larger party needs. The crux of the remodel will be on the expansion of our kitchen facilities and adding an underground wine cellar to house our award winning wine list. While we hope you follow us to the Fox Tower during our remodel, we look forward to getting back to W. Burnside in January 2011. RingSide Steakhouse’s home will always be on 22nd and W. Burnside, your home for the best steaks in Portland since 1944. Sincerely, The Peterson Family |
