All of the staff were on point, attentive and just an all around joy to have help me and my dad have a great meal. The food was all very good, but you probably don’t need to go to RingSide to have this quality of food. You’re definitely paying for the experience and the staff and the ambiance. I seriously hope that the staff earns a living wage, because they make the experience worth it. Front and Back of House many kudos to you all.

We had our meal here on Christmas Eve. This restaurant was SLAMMED, but they handled it extremely well. We never felt like we weren't being attended to. The food was excellent, salad bar continuously being refreshed. Some of the meats weren't exceptional, but for a night that was jam-packed our wait was less than expected and service was great.
