I found myself in Wolfgang's Steakhouse, 2 negronis deep and a bottle of Chianti on the way when I mustered up the gumption to ask the server, "Does Mr. Puck ever come in?" The table laughed in unison. One of those laughing-at-you laughs. My blood began to boil. The waiter informed me that the founder is Wolfgang Zwiener, not Wolfgang Puck. Someone at the table snickered and said "You didn't know that Johnny!?" "WELL OBVIOUSLY NOT, SHARON. HOW MANY WOLFGANGS DO YOU PERSONALLY KNOW? DON'T MAKE FUN OF ME FOR AN HONEST MISTAKE." I responded vehemently. I realized, as I was buttering another complimentary bread roll, that I am getting too defensive. This table will smell blood if I show any more weakness. I turned on my best Shai Gilgeous-Alexander nonchalant demeanor and said "Y'all are right, I'm dumb. I'll get back to the drawing board and get better." At this moment, the Porterhouse for 4 hit the table. The unmistakable noise and aroma of meat crackling into the ether cheered me right up. A true feast for the senses. Perfectly medium rare with a slight crisp on the edges... damn I'm getting hungry just typing this back. Melts in your mouth. This might be a hot take, but I much prefer Wolfgang's to Peter Luger. The food is directly comparable, but I was shocked at the ambiance at Peter Luger: bright lights, patrons dressed in sweats and hoodies, and servers who only care about turning tables quickly. If I'm paying this amount of money for a meal, I want the dimly lit white glove experience that Wolfgang's provides. Shoutout to Wolfgang Zwiener, not Mr. Puck. I won't make that mistake again.

We had a 7:30 reservation and after being told 3 times that our table was coming up, we finally were sat around 8pm. Restaurant is very busy, but a nice interior, I like the ceiling in particular. The thick canadian bacon is a must and a great way to start, as was the shrimp cocktail, though quite pricey. 6 for $49. The steak though was fantastic and one of the best I've had. We had the porterhouse medium rare and it was amazing. So tender and flavorful...exactly what a steakhouse steak should be. The creamed spinach was also spot on and perfect. The mushrooms were average at best and hashbrown potatoes were mediocre and wouldn't order those again. I saw many orders of fries which come out like a nest of fries, so maybe try that next time. For dessert the key lime pie was just ok...a little overly sweet. But the cheesecake was light and perfect way to close the dinner.

Had a friend from overseas visiting and so had to take them to a nice steakhouse so chose Wolfgang. We've been here years before and had a good experience. We had a weekend lunch reservation right at open and were seated right on entry. Service was friendly and very prompt. We ordered the porter house with sides of cream spinach and onion rings. Everything was pretty good and their house sauce gave the steak a nice zing. We got medium rare and while there was one piece that I thought the middle felt a tad not warm enough, all in all it was good. The restaurant itself is quite nice and spacious. Well decorated with the many wine offerings.

While service was good, the food was not and overpriced. We ordered the Porterhouse for 2 medium rare- it was rare. No sauces except for a bottled sauce on the table. Guess they wanted to just promote their Wolfgang sauce which was quite sweet and tasted like a BBQ sauce. Not what I would have expected for the prices we were paying. Don't think we will come here again.

Repost this - wrong one initially in Times Square! Took service at the bar while we grabbed some drinks and were waiting - first-come, first-serve, they were busy so not directly coming over to help serve but when we called them over they were quick and got our order in. Shrimp cocktail was ok, cold and separated ok from the tails. Strong drinks. Chips at the bar and fries were a good mix but I've had better. Seating tight there - so mostly just standing around.

These desserts were so delicious.

It was my first time at Wolfgang's Steakhouse at the Broadway location. They seated me even though I was 20 minutes early. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is elegant, and the service is absolutely amazing!! My favorite dish was the Wolfgang Salad. We will be back for more!

Porterhouse and onion rings - Wouldn't recommend
Jenn R.

(Broadway location) A "C" grade restaurant pretending to be "A" grade. FOOD As other reviews have said, the food is not worth the price. We ordered the porterhouse, Brussels sprouts, and onion rings. The porterhouse was sad. It was dry and tasteless; the plate was drenched in 'meat juice', which I suppose was an attempt to compensate for the steak's toughness and blandness. Check out steak photos from other reviewers too - They can't seem to get the sear and juiciness right. The Brussels sprouts were flavorless, crunch-less, and tasted like they were heavily blanched. The onion rings were meh - Thin and plain. DRINKS I'm not an expert in this area, but the cocktails felt diluted and not well mixed. SERVICE The servers were arrogant and rude. It kind of felt like they were trying to be posh but weren't? We only received one water refill, and that was after we had finished our meal and were finally able to wave down service after a few attempts. We also asked for hot water because someone in our group was sick, and it was served in a plastic cup without handles, on a dinner plate... If you're looking for a nice steakhouse, look elsewhere.

Beautiful ambiance but noisy when full . Enjoyed our porterhouse steak and sides. Service a little slow and inattentive for an upscale steak house.

Chocolate mousse cake and hot fudge sundae.

Always delicious. We had the Filet mignon, baked salmon, mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. Food cooked to perfection. Kept some room for desert. Hot fudge sundae and chocolate mousse

We celebrated a friend's birthday here and they accommodated all 9 of us very well. The food was good, but not worth the prices. There are other restaurants I would go to before visiting here again. The staff were nice, just seemed like you were paying for the name.

Came in here with high expectations and they were met! I highly encourage a reservation to be made,…read moreas they had a waitlist for walk-ins and the restaurant seemed super busy. Once we were sat, they gave us an overview of the menu, the highlights, and specials that weren't on the menu including Tomahawk steak, rock shrimp appetizer, side of corn and more. We opted for the 1/2 dozen oysters, Porterhouse for 2, and a side of spinach and roasted corn. Everything was exceptional and a good portion for 2 people. For dessert, we ordered their special, Tiramisu, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Since we were celebrating a special occasion, they gave us a lava cake on the house which made our night even more special. I would definitely come back here to try a new cut of steak and reorder some of their sides.

Came here for lunch yesterday with a last minute reservation made on the website. We were seated…read morepromptly and given menus right away. The place is beautiful, I love the ambiance and I love being able to see the cuts of meat from the window outside. I opted for the filet mignon from the lunch special menu, medium, while my fiancé got a NY sirloin, medium rare. However, we got a very bloody red filet mignon and a pinkish sirloin. Iykyk. The food was good and other than that mistake, I have nothing to say about it, delicious drinks, too. One of the best dirty martinis found in the city. HOWEVER. We sat down at 2:15, and got our food at 3:20. It took a long time both to order and to receive our dishes. I understand being busy but we left the restaurant at 4:35

I sat at the bar, since it was only me, but tho the bar wasn't busy and service was friendly, it was very slow. The food was wonderful! I'm glad I made the choices I did, tho of course nothing I wanted was included in the happy hour specials. The fried calamari was some of the best I've had tho it was observed with a little bit of cocktail sauce and a huge thing of tartar sauce. I'm sure I could have gotten more cocktail sauce, since I don't like tartar sauce, but it wasn't necessary. The calamari was so good. The lobster bisque was delicious and the picture can't show you that it was full of lobster. There was a LOT more lobster than a lobster bisque normally contains and the price was about normal for a lobster bisque with one tiny piece of lobster. The iced tea was a bit out of control. If I'm going to be charged $5 per glass of iced tea, that glass should be larger than the ones they use AND not 90% ice. That much for a glass of ice with a splash of iced tea is extreme. I'd still return, since the food was wonderful and hopefully I just got unlucky with the service.

My group and me order meatballs, the classic burger, and the fillet. Everything was deliciously…read morebuttery but never too over powering with its flavors.

Hand cut. Not run through a blender. The closest to the nest that I've had in Paris. Ambiance: 10/10 Steak tartare: 9/10 Pomme fritte: 7/10 Service: 10/10 Don't get me wrong these fries were good. Better than all the others. Not quite good as in Paris. It was a joy to eat here. And I feel like I've finally found a place that compares to Paris.

I played myself by getting the pre frixe menu. I did not care for the French onion soup at all. It has a sour taste to it..not savory. I asked for my steak medium well. It came exactly to mh liking. I had not had read meat in a while and I might have been low on iron. It was tasty. I ordered the creme brulee for desert which was yummy. I sat at the bar. I will definitely asked to be seated next time because the bartender hovered over me a lot. I didn't need much service. The steak was good next time I will have the salmon. I want to try other places that specialize in this fare.
