Review: Ringside Steakhouse Portland

September 19, 2011 by PDX Food Dude 1 Comment

Ringside Steakhouse thumbnail

[updated 2017] Ringside Steakhouse was been closed, extensively remodeled and has reopened.

I wanted to impress a date, and knowing nothing about the Portland food scene, was told it … [Read more...] about Review: Ringside Steakhouse Portland

Review: Olympia Provisions – Westside

It was such an-out-of-control meal we ended up having their burger for dessert. After my rave to w about … [Read more...] about Review: Yakuza Restaurant

Review: Morton’s The Steakhouse

June 30, 2009 by PDX Food Dude 77 Comments

Morton's The Steakhouse steak

I hadn’t been to Morton’s in at least eight years when I pulled up to the valet a few weeks ago. The last time my experience had been pretty good. On this warm Thursday evening, I was expecting a meal that would be close to the quality of El Gaucho.Morton’s was founded in 1978 by Arnie Morton and Klaus Fritsch. According to Wikipedia, Morton’s is the world’s largest owner … [Read more...] about Review: Morton’s The Steakhouse
