    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.

    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.

    Porterhouse and onion rings - Wouldn't recommend

    (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.

    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!

    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.

    Great place to visit with a group of friends. We sat at the bar area and the place was packed. Very loud, hard to have a conversation. The service was amazing, quick on drinks and food orders. The waiter was attentive. The gin martini with blue cheese stuffed olives is amazing! We ordered the tuna tartare, truffle fries, creamed spinach, fried calamari. Everything was prefect. Fried calamari was so tasty, tender and good portion. The tuna tartare was good but pricey for the portion they serve. I definitely recommend if you are in mid-town and looking for a place to meet with friends.

The dining room was extremely hot, and there didn't appear to be any air conditioning, which made it uncomfortable throughout the meal. The food also took quite a while to arrive. I ordered a tequila mule, but it was lacking flavor and was underwhelming. For my entrée, I ordered the steak medium well, but it came out medium rare. Despite being undercooked, the steak was surprisingly tough and chewy, and it did not seem like a quality cut of meat considering the price. The waiter was friendly and provided good service, which was the highlight of the visit. However, due to the uncomfortable atmosphere, slow food service, disappointing drink, and poor-quality steak, I would not recommend dining here.

It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water.

They were NOT lying!!! Oh my gosh! It was amazing! The meat was so tender, peppery, juicy! My mother and I got the half a sandwich and soup. I decided to get the matzo ball and pastrami. I had never had matzo ball (we got a first timer here!!!!) ahhhmazing although I don't have anything to compare it to but the broth, was so fresh and clean, the dough/noodle? was so soft and tender, just melted away. Ah it was heavenly. My mom got the mushroom barley and of course the pastrami. I tried a bit of her soup too. It was also delicious. It was beefy (from mushroom) and thick and hearty. Definitely a meal in itself. The meals came with coleslaw and 2 types of pickles I think...and don't hold me to this one was a kosher pickle and the other was a sour one? Am I dumb? Maybe.
