Incredible dry aged steaks, cooked beautifully. Honestly, the prices were quite reasonable for the quality, and I was a bit surprised at a times square spot being good and not over priced. The wine list was nice, not intimidating, they hand picked selections that paired very nicely with the steak. Great Bourbon selection. The sides were also quite good, we had the german potatos, brussel sprouts, mushrooms and creamed spinach. The wait staff were exceptional, we felt very spoiled by thier attentiveness and allowing us to stay well past kitchen close.

I arrived at 25 minutes before close and they were very gracious. I enjoyed the chopped salad, which was the best salad I have ever had, including fresh green peas. Very healthy. The bread was warm and fresh. The price was not unreasonable.
Went before Aladdin. Food was amazing. Fine dining but not snobby at all. Old fashioned is delicious. Porter house for two was a lot of meat!
I had a wonderful lunch here with my mother! Our server was incredibly considerate and even took the time to learn how to say 'hot' in Mandarin, a very sweet moment.<br><br>I accidentally left my bag behind after lunch. The restaurant tried to call me, but I missed the call. When we returned to check, the server and the manager immediately recognized me and returned my bag! I'm very grateful to the entire staff for their kindness and care.<br><br>The location is perfect, right in Times Square. If you're visiting the area, you should absolutely give Wolfgang's a try!
We were very disappointed with our experience.<br><br>We ordered the “sliced beefsteak onion and tomato salad,” reasonably expecting it to contain beef. When the dish arrived with no steak at all, we were told that “beefsteak” referred only to the way the onion was cut, and that we had not read the menu properly. The explanation itself was confusing, but more importantly, the response was dismissive rather than apologetic. If a dish name commonly implies beef, this should be clearly explained to guests before ordering.<br><br>Service afterward felt uncomfortable. When ordering steak, I asked for it to be “fully cooked,” which is a very common and understandable request. Instead of clarifying politely, the server insisted he did not understand and corrected me in a way that felt mocking rather than professional. A server’s role should be to translate guest requests into kitchen terms, not make guests feel embarrassed.<br><br>Additionally, when we ordered wine, the bottle was never shown to us. The wine was simply poured and served. Proper wine service requires presenting the bottle so guests can confirm what they are being served, especially at this price level.<br>Taken together misleading menu wording, defensive responses, uncomfortable service tone, and improper wine service — this experience did not meet the standards expected of a restaurant of this reputation. The soup of the day was also extremely disappointing it was just chicken broth. Unfortunately, it left us feeling disrespected rather than welcomed.
Wolfgang’s Steak House – Times Square exceeded all my expectations.<br><br>From the moment we walked in, the service was absolutely outstanding. The staff was professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire visit. Every detail was handled perfectly, without being intrusive.<br><br>The ribeye steak was simply amazing — cooked to perfection, incredibly juicy, and full of rich, deep flavor. The quality of the meat was obvious from the first bite, and the seasoning and cooking technique truly highlighted it. This is exactly what you expect from a world-class steakhouse.<br><br>The atmosphere was classic and elegant, yet relaxed, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Everything — from the service to the food — worked together seamlessly.<br><br>If you’re looking for top-tier service and an exceptional steak in Times Square, Wolfgang’s Steak House is a must-visit. This was an unforgettable dining experience, and I will absolutely be coming back again.
I visited Wolfgang’s Steakhouse for my last lunch in New York. Since it was lunchtime, the restaurant wasn’t too crowded, which made for a relaxed dining experience. We ordered the Porterhouse for two and the Wolfgang Salad, and since it was lunch, we went with iced tea for drinks.<br><br>The portion size was huge for a couple, and overall, the service and quality of the steak definitely lived up to the price. The sirloin side of the porterhouse was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was especially impressive.<br><br>One small downside was that the filet side was closer to well-done than expected. Still, it was enjoyable overall and a satisfying way to wrap up our New York trip.
We had a fun group dinner at Wolfgang's. Located in midtown, it was an easy spot to hit before a show.<br>The service was very professional and I enjoyed that they served us each at the table. We ordered a porterhouse and a rib eye to share between four of us, with sides and we're barely able to finish it all<br>The steaks were perfectly cooked.<br>We also had a salad and crab cake and an appetizer.
It wasn't bad but for the hype and price I expected more. Certainly the bread quality could be upgraded and served warm, it seemed it was day old bread. The French onion soup was good, but heavily salted. Crab cake, good, not exceptional. The best part of dessert was the whipped cream, which was exceptional. Staff were attentive and met our table's needs. Coast check was friendly and efficient.
We had a great experience although serives could have been a bit for attentive. We made a reservation and that is highly recommended. The salmon and Bass were cook beautifully and was fresh.
Went there by recommendation of my American friend. That was one of the best steaks places in my experience. Now, it's among must visit places in NY for me.
Quite sometime since revisit.<br>Venue aged but still grand. Noticed same building Izakaya @ NY Times building no longer.<br>Food great overall but could be better. Bacon not so salty good. Oyster, told blue point somewhat skimpy. Steak for two had few tenderloin vs sirloin. Baked potato not supersize. T&O good, steak sauce venerable.<br>Service super. No complaint there as manager also makes a round. Remember this was tradition in other location as well.
Went for birthday 🎂 meal and wasn’t disappointed. Everything we ordered was delicious and prepared exactly as we requested. Service was phenomenal, like most high end restaurants the wait staff was professional and very knowledgeable about the food. I was impressed by the redundancy ensuring the meal was memorable.
The space itself is great. Fairly modern, spacious, and carries that classic steakhouse vibe you’d expect. I was here with friends, and honestly, it should’ve been a solid experience just based on that setting alone.<br>But the food and service really didn’t live up to the name or the price tag. Our server came across more demanding than welcoming, barely said a word beyond the basics and gave zero follow-up once our food hit the table. It was almost like we were bothering them by being there. Things got noticeably colder the moment we said we weren’t ordering alcohol, just still water. That kind of energy is hard to ignore.<br>We had the Wolfgang’s Salad and Crab Cake, and not a word of explanation was given about how either would be served. Not that it's a huge deal, but for a place of this caliber, you'd expect at least a little guidance. The steak was another story. We ordered medium-rare, and what came out was more like well on one side and medium on the other. Based on other reviews, seems like if you want actual medium-rare here, you'd have to order it medium. I honestly had to laugh.<br>I know this spot has a big name and reputation, but based on what we had, my friends said they’ve had better at Empire, and they had one only two days prior. I don’t doubt that the quality is there when everything is done right, but from how we were treated to what we were served, it just didn’t land for me. Disappointed more than anything.
I would like to make this very clear that we ordered “medium”, but when we got the steak, we could find significant portion (9 slices) were obviously “raw”. I’ve been to many other steakhouse labels and this is my first time to actually see unevenly cooked, and uncooked meat. Only the atmosphere was a good point, while food was highly underwhelming.<br><br>I believe wolfgang should, and can provide their food in a better condition especially at an exorbitant price. It was also questionable that they seated Asian customers to only corner ones. Today was such a disappointment.
