Reviews Wolfgang's Steakhouse By Wolfgang Zwiener

It was my first time and I had a great time. The food and service was great! Our waiter, Francis, was knowledgeable when asked for suggestions on wine and side dish pairings. I hope to be back soon :)

The best steak no doubt, and excellent service! Very attentive and accommodating staff from start to finish, and good recommendations for which wine to get to match with their award-winning, mouth-watering steaks! You'll never go wrong with Wolfgang's!!!

Highly recommended! The porterhouse is a must try and plus that excellent service you really can't go wrong👍.

The salt and pepper on the table are not good quality. Very commonly found in any cheap restaurant too. The T-bone is nice cooked for both the preference. But generally speaking i do not recommend for the price is much higher. Too easy to find better replacement option. service is good.

This is the closest you will get to having a Peter Luger steak in Manila. Prep of the meat and serving (they spoon the clarified butter over the steak and serve on your plate) are exactly like Luger. Definitely order the porterhouse with a side of creamed spinach and your choice of carb.

The burger slider was absolutely amazing! And to add to that, the fries were also very flavorful and very delicious! I highly recommend Wolfgang Steakhouse! It does not disappoint!

Staff is always friendly and accommodating.  Good Food! Easily a go-to steak for us! a bit pricey but its alright. Would come back for sure! :D

Great food and drinks. Amazing service. Ambience was also on point. Really enjoyed my time there. Our host Romar was very accommodating. Would go back.

Great place and excellent staff! I felt very well cared for! The food was also excellent. No better place for dry aged steak! I’d definitely go back again with friends and family!

I visited Wolfgang Steakhouse the first time when they opened Resort’s World branch years ago. I got to relive that experience once again today during a meeting with our Zonta Club.

The Podium Branch is quaint and more casual but still equipped for a fine dining setting. The service here is seamless, as their staff is on their feet to serve you on your every whim. Wolfgang has a superior customer to waiter ratio.

On food, I recommend the Chopped Salad to start. It’s a colorful plate of your daily dose of fresh vegetables, topped with well-seasoned grilled chicken.

The Grilled Salmon, on the other hand, needed more herbs and spices, as it was rather bland. It was cooked on point though, noticeable with its pinkish center.

Since a minimum of 1 kilo is imposed to order Porterhouse, we got that size. It took four of us to finish it. The rich flavor of the aged steak gets to you at some point. It will help if you add Wolfgang’s sweet sauce once in a while. A slab is worth around Php 7,500 with taxes.

The desserts are not that expensive. So take time to explore their best seller, New York Cheesecake; dark Chocolate Mousse, delectable Pecan Pie and house-made, delicious Ice Cream of Vanilla and Chocolate.

Had dinner here with my boyfriend for an occasion and we ordered the Taste of New York Set, Crab Cakes, and Loco Moco.The steak was so juicy and tender and its easily one of the best steaks I've had in a while. The price is a bit high than other steak houses but the food quality certainly matches the high price. Both the food, service, and ambiance are great and I would certainly come back again.

We dined here for Valentine's and what a perfect restaurant for the occasion. The ambiance is super classy.

We ordered the Porterhouse for 2 pax, 1kg. Cost is around 7,000 pesos with no side dish. It's quite pricey but oh so tender, juicy and delicious. It was so tender the meat practically melted in your mouth. Definitely worth the price.
I will come back to try the other steaks on the menu.

Good steak! Same as peter luger.. oysters flown from france are good. Their porterhouse for 2 with steak rice and creamed spinach are the best match. Service is top notch. Yummmmy^

it was their crabcake which stood out for me next to their steak. the dill sauce perfectly complemented the crabcake. my first bite of the same is divine. seafoodlovers: this is a must try. #seafood #crabcake

The steak in Wolfgang is certainly good. The cut is thick but it's still surprisingly tender. It has enough flavor that you won't need to add anything else. We ordered the porterhouse since the waiter suggested this to us instead of the ribeye. The only thing negative I can say is there's a funky taste on a few parts of the beef. Hopefully it's just a misstep or something because the steak is too expensive to have those.
We also had the salmon and mac n cheese but they failed to inspire us. I was again happy with the free bread, and it was the good kind of bread which feels like it's baked in house.
The place is a bit small. It can be conducive for dates or meetings but not really for big groups.

We celebrated our son’s birthday here today! Great food...superb seafood, salmon and steaks! My son loved 💕 the NY sirloin steak! Their servings are huge! Definitely 5 stars!!! ❤️

Reserved via the zomato app and worked well with the resto reconfirming the reservation 1hr prior.

Ordered the following on a weekend since the Taste of New York bundle is not available on weekends according to the waitress:
-Soup of the day (clear chicken soup)
-Porterhouse for 2, medium rare
-Creamed spinach
-Mashed potato
-Sauteed mushrooms

The soup was a good starter with plenty of shredded chicken. Had it split into 2 and serving was still ample. Porterhouse was cooked as specified with a little cow decor stuck in the steak to show the doneness; the tenderloin part lives up to its name while the sirloin part was meaty and flavorful. Serving was generous and can actually be shared by 3-4 people. Creamed spinach was also awesome that I sometimes found myself indulging on it more than the steak. The mashed potato was incredibly smooth, almost like baby food but in a positive way.  Sauteed mushrooms was a little bit salty for my taste. Could've done without it but the waitress recommended it and we decided to give it a try.

Service was also impeccable as the waitress and other servers were very friendly, attentive, and accommodating. 

Overall, food was 5 stars. Only reason why I'm giving 1 less star was due to our bill as the orders were really pricey. Would've been better if the Taste of New York was available during weekends as it is a tough to beat full course meal.

Sorry. I have lost my appetite for steak. I even lost my craving for that double-patty burger which that lanky clown in kabuki make up is selling. But I still get my yearnings once in a while. Just like that day I met up with a BFF in Podium. And since we were scheduled to have lunch at Wolfgang I psyched myself to have a burger instead. Maybe with fries or a salad. Whatever. 

So, we entered a sweet-smelling restaurant. Greeted by a good-looking, English-speaking (well, English-speaking is relative) super who guided us to a table. Water was poured by serious-looking servers who looked like they mean business. Orders were taken: a salad, the Classic Wolfgang Burger, onion rings and my BFF, soup (she had lunch already since I came late). 

Liked that it was juicy, that it was grilled medium well. And after adding more fresh pepper and almost drown the patty with catsup, I had an almost perfect burger. And my food, I enjoyed while stuffing my mouth with the onion rings in-between bites of the Wolfgang Burger. 

Will be back? Of course. But I have to wait for my next craving for a burger. For Wolfgang Burger, I mean.

Visited this world famous steakhouse - now with 2 branches in Manila. We had to wait a while for our table. Waited at their comfortable and well appointed bar with shots of whiskey and a good, warm bowl of potato wafers.

We placed our order of Porterhouse Steak for 2 a little before we were seated. Our sides were steamed broccoli and baked potatoes. We had a bottle of Cadet D'Oc Cabernet Sauvignon to pair with our steak

The porterhouse here includes two parts; tenderloin and a leaner and meatier shortloin. The steak was presented in a very hot plate with the oil bubbling even as it was served exuding a lovely aroma. While the steak was not melt-in-your-mouth tender, it was moist and succulent with the right amount of fat.

Service was impeccable with the staff constantly attending to us, filling our glasses and asking about the food.

Amazing atmosphere inside the restaurant and the Dry aged rib eye is definitely worth the price! It was super tender and had just the right funk you want in a dry aged steak. Will be back soon

There’s no stopping Wolfgang’s Steakhouse now. We’re amazed how Peter Luger’s Head Waiter now conquers the world with his own chain of fancy steak houses. Acclaimed globally, Wolfgang’s Steakhouse opened their second branch at The Podium Mall. First store is at Resorts World Manila. They are currently in the works for their third one, hoping to captivate the busy world of BGC.

A true emblem of fine dining in the country, the restaurant adapted their New York-style interiors with circular chandeliers, comfiest couches and very fine wood works. The place was first intimidating but the second we’ve stepped in, we felt very much at home thus got even more excited with our lunch.

And same with their other branches, they have their own wine cellar, housing hundreds of wines of different years and countries of origin. Their little bar is a small paradise of an assortment of hard liquors, as well as international beers on tap.

The establishment, a bit smaller than their Resorts World Manila branch, is a two-story restaurant that can house almost a hundred carnivores. A fine rack of quality wines is a good showcase on the second level.

At the time of our visit, their currently offer Lunch Courses and Lunch Specials on top of their mainstays. We did try their two Lunch Courses. It’s a practical option as the courses already includes sides and desserts, and an optional addition of appetizer.

As expected, our visit started with a complimentary bread basket. There were no other choices for the butter, it was good but nothing special, we’ve tried better ones. We kinda love the one stuffed with onions and the rest were too dry and hard to chew.

Two options for their Lunch Courses:
1. The Wolfgang Experience – unlike the other option, the Taste of New York, The Wolfgang Experience is priced depending on the entree, and also should you wish to add an appetizer.

Appetizer
Seafood Taster (P1088) – it’s a medley of tuna tartar, lobster salad and jumbo shrimp cocktail. All ingredients were locally sourced evidently fresh and of highest quality. The lobster salad was the star of this platter. If you’re working on a tight budget, this appetizer can be skipped. However, if you have some extra moolah to spare and really want that seafood fix, then go ahead and splurge.
Soup or Salad (choose one, included in the set, no additional charge)

a. Caesar Salad With Sizzling Bacon (Our pick!)– fresh greens with croutons and cheese on top, served with few diced bacon. We must admit, we’re a bit disappointed how few the bacon bits were. We love how tasty and juicy it was so we would’ve appreciated it more if they tossed in a few more pieces. You might be thinking why in the world we’ve chosen a usual caesar salad at a fine dining restaurant like this. Oh well, they had us at BACON. Haha!

b. Beverly Hills Chopped Salad – a colorful healthy assemblage of nature’s treasures.

c. Soup of The Day – on the day of our visit, they have Chicken Soup as the Soup of the Day. This one looked hearty, warm and simple. Best to ask the waiters for the day’s offering.
Entree

a. Loco Moco (P988) – 220 grams of USDA Prime Dry-Aged Sirloin patty on top of a bed of fragrant steamed rice, with fried egg and mushroom sauce flowing from the top.

b. Fish of The Day (P988) – 250 grams of fish fillet on top of grilled asparagus. The fish skin was excellently seared looking so crisp and classy. On the day of our visit, Fish of The Day was a Snapper.

c. Petit Filet Mignon (P1988) – 250 grams of Filet Mignon done according to your preference.

d. Rib Eye Steak (P3788, Our pick!) – 600 grams of glorious USDA Prime Dry-Aged Rib Eye done according to your preference. We personally requested our steak to be done medium rare. The restaurant’s suggestion was to have it done rare. We don’t think we’d be ready for that anytime soon. Haha! For now, we’ll stick with medium rare.

Look at that humongous cut! It’s like the size of a laptop already! Plus, the thickness was beaming on top as well. Once this was served right in front of us, we were in awe. It’s just crazy big. We cannot contain our excitement to try and have a bite. And oh, that cute pink cow is an indicator of how the meat was done (to avoid mix ups) and definitely not just for props.

That pink is perfecto! The crust was charred in moderation. The inside was screaming delicious and oozing with juices. The dry-aging was a success, we did not add any seasoning or sauce to this one as it was already tasty on its own. We’ve already tried a handful of really good steaks, Wolfgang might not have topped our lost but it sure is a good contender.
Sides (both included, no additional charge)

Creamed Spinach – we’ve never tried creamed spinach before so this first try definitely left a good impression. It was thick and tasty and doesn’t taste veggie-ish at all. We love how smooth it goes on the palate and how it compliments the steak.
Mashed Potatoes – we’re not that fond of mashed potatoes,but this one’s an exception. It was silky and creamy, not the usual texture of a mash.

Dessert of The Day
Tiramisu – the last course for the Wolfgang Experience. This sponge dessert is a must-try. So lucky us that this was the dessert of the day. This one tends to fly under the radar as we’re all focused on the meats. But at the end of the day, we all need a good old classic dessert. The Tiramisu was served with their homemade schlag, or normally called as whipped cream

2. Taste of New York (P2500) – the other option for their Lunch Courses. This one includes a sirloin steak, sides and dessert at a fixed cost.
Sirloin Steak – 400 grams of savory bone-in USDA Prime Dry-Aged Sirloin Steak done medium rare. This was more tender than the rib eye as this was less fatty. Served still boiling and bathing in its own juices, one bite sent us to steak heaven.

The outside was delicately charred and the inside was still perfectly pink and flavorful. The size was amazing huge as well, this alone can already satisfy two people.

Same sides were served, the Creamed Spinach and Mashed Potato. Having two sets of sides was too overwhelming for us, resulting with lots leftovers we got to take home.

New York-Style Cheesecake – simplicity at its finest. This one’s the soulmate of dessert purists. It’s smoothly rich and the sweetness was well-balanced, served with their homemade schlag as well.
The restaurant’s Lunch Courses is available from Monday to Friday, 11:00 am to 4:00 pm.

We paired our steaks with a 2016 Baron Philippe de Rothschild Reserva Especial Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile. Not the best wine we’ve tried but this one went very classy with our steak.

Classic Wolfgang Burger (P698) – USDA Prime Dry-Aged Ground Sirloin patty served with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, steak fries and onion rings, with optional cheese, bacon or avocado add-ons. If you can spend on expensive overpriced greasy burgers from those commercialized burger joints out there, why not add a few more bucks and have a prime fine-dining worthy one? Good idea, right? We surprisingly love the patty, looked dull at first sight but it was the perfect patty we’ve ever tried. It’s very juicy and still on perfect pink inside. As much as we love the burger, we have to let you guys know that their onion rings were pure awesomeness as well! It was thoroughly yet not heavily battered and cooked crisp and sweet. The fries were just average alone but better with the sauce below.

This handy-dandy Old Fashioned Sauce, sitting between a salsa and a ketchup, was already present to each of their tables. This is to be paired to any of their dishes, whether it’s an appetizer or a steak. As much as it’s tempting to pour a lot, we haven’t been able to use this much as Wolfgang’s Steakhouse offerings can already stand on their own.

Service, as expected, was top-notch. As the place was relatively small, all waiters were all caught up with our requests so easily. They also initially serve the orders to eachof our plate. So if you still want to take a photo of that steak as a whole (we know you would want to!), better do it fast or just tell them to wait. Overall, all of them were very nice, accommodating and professional.

Important tip: On our second visit (yep, we did came back for more!), we were asked if we wanted still or sparkling water. Warning! It’s a trap! Haha! If you pick any of those, you’ll be charged a fortune for a good bottle of water, more peso to shell out if you consume more. We should’ve asked for their service water instead of agreeing to still water. Ikr, our fault! Please don’t ask us for the price, our hearts are still aching and we still cannot accept it until now, or ever. JK! Haha!

Value for money: Worth the splurge. This one’s perfect for special date nights and celebrations.

#DateForTwo at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse by Wolfgang Zwiener

Wolfgang’s Steakhouse is known to be one of the best that offers premium steak. Having been in the industry for 14 long years, they truly made its way to be recognize as one of the best around the globe. Located inside The Podium, the sophisticated ambiance is perfect for intimate date. Cozy white sofas, wooden tables and chairs with elegant table setting.


They now offer lunch courses from Mondays through Fridays at 11am to 4pm. You may choose from 'The Wolfgang Experience' or 'Taste of New York'. With the former, you get to choose an appetizer, salad or soup, entree of steak or fish of the day plus a dessert. While Taste of New York is already planned and curated for you.

The steak is cooked perfectly oozing with juices and full of flavor. The seafood platter is also amazing. The management and staff were all friendly and helpful. The steak fries is yummy until it cooled down. Expensive but worth the wolfgang experience.

Every time we visit NYC, I always have a list of go-to restaurants. One of the establishments on that list is Wolfgang Steakhouse. Known for their excellent steaks. I was glad to finally be able to try it albeit a different setting. While most of us, confuse Wolfgang as Chef Wolfgang Puck he actually has no relation to Wolfgang Steakhouse. Wolfgang Zwiener is the brainchild of Wolfgang Steakhouse which opened in NYC’s Park Avenue in 2004. He got his start as head waiter in nationally acclaimed Peter Luger Steakhouse in Brooklyn and worked there for over 40 years. In those years, he learned the best way to make steak and eventually decided to open up his own place. Today, he boasts of 19 locations worldwide, while making a name for themselves as being one of the best steakhouses in New York.

I personally didn’t like how the waiters kept suggesting dishes they have while we were looking through the menu. I also didn’t like how they brought over bottles which would make it hard to decline if one was on a date or something. (a lot of the people there were on a date)

The food and ambiance was great.

The Crab cake tasted authentic and the salad was good.

We got the Porterhouse for Two. It was probably the best steak we’ve had in a looong time. The fine quality and texture of the steak was noticeable to our palates. (in comaprison to other steakhouses in the Philippines)

I do not recommend the steak rice, especially if you’re ordering steak already. It tasted like the typical filipino garlic rice with a few 8-10 square cut pieces of steak.

The lobster mac and cheese was so good but also so noy worth it. I didn’t really taste the lobster in the cream or sauce.

Enjoy the Wolfgang Experience with the Lunch Course.

You pick a soup or salad with your main entree then finish off with their dessert of the day.

For the Soup or Salad, choose from the Beverly Hills Chopped Salad, Caesar Salad with Sizzling Bacon or the Soup of the Day.

If you want to try something new, get the Beverly Hills Chopped Salad - lettuce, tomatoes, avocado and other ingredients are chopped to almost pea-size proportions. Kinda like a chopped up Cobb Salad. So Hollywood!

For the Main Entree, you could choose from the...

Loco Moco - Half-pound Beef Patty - Wolfgang's take on the Hawaiian-style salisbury steak. This dish was very popular in the Wolfgang's Steakhouse in Honolulu.

Fish of the Day - for that day, Pan-seared Grouper with asparagus

Petit Filet Mignon - 250 grams tenderloin steak

Rib Eye Steak - 600 grams Bone-in. This one is meant to be shared!

The Loco Moco and Fish of the Day are reasonably priced at Php988. A really good lunch deal at Wolfgang's.

The Rib Eye Steak is good for sharing. Have it cooked to Medium rare to Medium doneness. Like all of their meats, the steak is USDA Prime Dry Aged onsite in their own aging box. You could really taste the aged meat quality of the steak.

If you want a leaner cut aside from the Filet Mignon, the NY Sirloin Steak is a great option!

A really good appetizer option would be the Seafood Taster, composed of Tuna Tartar, Lobster Salad and Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail.

Another good choice is the Classic Wolfgang Burger. You get a 1/2 pound USDA Prime Dry Aged Ground Sirloin patty served with tomato, onions, lettuce, pickles, steak fries and onion rings for Php688.

Pricetag was worth the big serving of that juicy and perfectly prepared steak. They have good wine which made the steak experience even better. Kudos also to their staff who always make you feel important. The only thing you'll struggle with in this restaurant is how not to finish that wonderful steak too quickly.

I was expecting it to be great for the price but I guess I walked in with really high expections for the steaks we ordered. The sides were great though!:-) Service was also exceptional.

I've eaten here a few times already, and it's always a great experience. Steaks are always cooked perfect medium rare with a nice char outside. I like ordering the creamed spinach and mac n cheese to go with my steak. Service is good. Staff is very knowledgable and attentive.

Definitely the best dry-aged steakhouse in town.
