RingSide Fish House was a seafood restaurant in Portland, Oregon.[1]

Description[edit]

Mattie John Bamman of Eater Portland described RingSide Fish House as an "old-school" seafood restaurant, located in the Fox Tower next to southwest Portland's Director Park. The menu included oysters,[2] Crab Louie, lobster, and cioppino.[3]

History[edit]

Mayor Sam Adams at the restaurant's opening, 2011

In 2011, the owner of RingSide Steakhouse confirmed plans to convert a temporary Fox Tower location into a seafood restaurant. The 240-seat restaurant opened on the building's second floor on July 18, 2011,[4] with Johnny Nunn as the initial executive chef.[5]

Jennie Peterson, the daughter of RingSide owner Craig Peterson, was the general manager, as of 2014,[6] and David Ezelle was executive chef, as of April 2015.[7] Jonathan Gill was the executive chef from 2016 to 2018.[8][9]

In July 2018, Peterson and RingSide Hospitality Group announced plans to close the seafood restaurant on August 12, after operating for seven years.[10][11][12]

Reception[edit]

Eater Portland included RingSide Fish House in a 2015 overview of "Where to Get Your East Coast Lobster Fix in Portland".[13] The website's Heather Arndt Anderson included the restaurant in a 2017 list of "Where to Eat and Drink Like a Pirate in Portland". She wrote, "If you want Salty's menu options and buttoned-up atmosphere without that pesky riverfront view, there's always Ringside. It's a nice spot for a fancy downtown dinner date."[14]
