    Oktoberfest Special
    Joe W.

    Wolfgang's Waikiki - Oktoberfest on the Lanai! If you're looking to celebrate Oktoberfest without hopping on a plane to Germany, Wolfgang's Waikiki has you covered. Their W Lanai and Bar are offering limited-time Oktoberfest specials that bring a little bit of Bavaria to the islands -- with Hawaiian hospitality, of course. Food: I tried the Oktoberfest Plate ($22) and it's exactly what you'd want -- beef knockwurst and cooked bratwurst served hot and juicy, paired with a generous helping of tangy sauerkraut that cuts through all that savory richness. Simple, traditional, and very well executed. The Bavarian Soft Pretzel Twist ($14) is another must. Perfectly golden, lightly salted, and fluffy inside -- the kind of pretzel that reminds you why carbs are worth it. Pairs perfectly with a cold German beer. Drinks: Speaking of beers, the featured lineup hits the mark -- Weihenstephaner Festbier and Hofbräu Maibock, both for only $10. Smooth, crisp, and the perfect complement to the hearty plate. Atmosphere: The W Lanai has such a great vibe -- open air, casual yet upscale, with that Waikiki energy that just makes everything taste better. Come around sunset and you'll see why it's the perfect place to unwind with friends. Service: Service was friendly and attentive, as always. The staff handled the Oktoberfest rush with ease and plenty of aloha. If you love good food, good beer, and good company, this is one Oktoberfest celebration worth checking out before the month ends. Order from 3PM till closing, only available from The W Lanai and Bar. Prost, Waikiki style!

    Impeccable service from start to finish! We made reservations for a Sunday evening, and the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted--and just as kindly sent off with well wishes as we left. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, which set the tone for a perfect evening. Our server (Aizhain) was conversational, and we definitely did not seem like just another table to her. We began with the Caesar salad--classic and sharable, just right for two. For our main course, we ordered the Steak for Two, and wow. It arrived sizzling on a tilted platter, the juices pooling at the bottom so we could spoon them over the steak for even more flavor. Generous portions meant we couldn't finish it all, but every bite was worth savoring. On the side, I requested asparagus sautéed instead of steamed, and it came out perfectly done just as I asked with just the right touch of seasoning (bravo Taylor!) The baked potato was large enough to share, loaded with all the fixings and a beautiful layer of melted cheese. Dessert was the grand finale. The (authentic) NY cheesecake was divine--subtle, creamy, and not overly sweet. My husband raved about the tiramisu, saying it reminded him of what we had enjoyed in Italy. Yes, it's a splurge, but every dollar felt well spent. Hats off to the entire kitchen staff for such a mouthwatering meal and waitstaff for being amazing! As island residents, this is definitely one of those "special occasion" spots we'll return to again.

    The steak was so good. Cooked to perfection. Served on a hot plate still sizzling. Wait staff serves the steak to you. we ordered medium rare and it wasn't too rare and it wasn't over cooked either. The side dishes are a bit smaller compared to other steakhouse restaurants but the mashed potatoes were really good and so was the lobster Mac and cheese. Best dessert was the chocolate mousse cake. Tasted like Oreos. Paid $860 (including tip) for 5 people.

    There seems to be some brand confusion among some. To be clear ... Wolfgang's Steakhouse is not affiliated with Wolfgang Puck. The marquee chef here is "Wolfgang Zwiener". The fellow has steakhouses in Japan; so it makes sense that he would have locations in Hawaii. (aka Wolfgang's Steakhouse by Wolfgang Zwiener) I was drawn to this restaurant because of their happy hour menu. Here is some information, based on my visit. Note that the restaurant can change any of its policies, at any time. If you visit the website wolfgangssteakhouse*com, you can see all of the locations within the network, and the menus for each location. In the case of Waikiki, you see PDFs of the individual menus. Typically, the happy hour menu is served for those seated at the bar (not table service). It is available between 4:00p and 6:00p. You can call and make reservations for table service. However, to partake in the happy hour menu, you need to show up (no reservations taken). For my first visit, I chose the "Taste of New York" ($83.95). For a beverage , I tried their "Volcano Margarita" ($14.00). With tax ($4.62), my ticket was $102.57 before gratuities. The Taste of New York included a 12oz bone-in dry aged New York sirloin; creamed spinach and mashed potatoes; and a slice of New York style cheesecake for desert. The steak was cooked to order (medium rare); and the quality of the beef was of high. The taste and texture of the spinach and potatoes was very good. The cheese cake was good, too; to too light, not too dense. Going in, I thought an early bird dinner suggested smaller servings. However, this was a complete meal that left me quite full. And I feel this prix fixe meal was a good value. Service provided by the hostesses at the front door, and by the wait staff, was very good. The main dinning room is very nice; and they have recently opened lanai dining.

    Happened to be walking by, decided to go in, not paying attention, thinking this was Puck's, only to realize later that it's Zwiener's. What a mistake. Food was average. But I must admit that the service was top notch. I ordered the Ahi seared rare. However it was previously frozen or refrigerated and literally cold inside. I'm fine with raw fish and sushi. But I'd like my seared fish to at least be room temperature inside. Furthermore there was no seasoning on it. You can see that in the picture. The Filet Mignon was fine. The peppercorn sauce was actually pretty good. The baked potato loaded had an odd choice of large diced pork belly on it. I'd rather have fine diced bacon. The fries were thick cut and fine. The cream of corn was flavorless. The sauteed mushrooms were good. Overall I just feel that a high dollar restaurant (with $$$$ designation) should be flawless and flavorful and memorable. This was not the case unfortunately.

    We recently dined at Wolfgang's Steakhouse in Waikiki to celebrate two birthdays, and while the food was fantastic, the service really missed the mark. Our reservation was for 6 adults, and we arrived with our baby. The hosts immediately told us they didn't have space because the reservation didn't include the baby--even though babies don't take up a full seat. Instead of trying to find a solution, they repeated that there was "nothing they could do." We had to ask for a manager before anyone was willing to help. Thankfully, the manager stepped in, got us a high chair, and said it might be tight--but at least he tried to accommodate us. Once we were seated, the service continued to disappoint. Our server was cold and unfriendly, and the overall attitude of the staff made us feel like we were an inconvenience during what should've been a special celebration. The only bright spot was the food, which was excellent. But given the price point, the service should be much better. That may be the only reason we'd return in the future--and even then, it would be reluctantly.

    Steak for three with sides

    Been coming here for years but the last time I went here was for a friend's bday dinner and it was a great time! We ordered the seafood combo for our appetizer, steak for three, German potatoes, onion rings and sautéed broccoli. Everything was delicious and the steak was cooked to our liking! The sides were yummy and went well with the steak. I think this place has one of the best onion rings haha. Sometimes I feel like the service here could be a hit or miss but for this time it was pretty good. Our server kept checking on us and he even brought out a slice of tiramisu since it was my friend's bday! Overall, I really do enjoy the food at Wolfgang's Steakhouse! This place may have mixed reviews but don't let it stop you from trying this place out if you haven't already!

    This place has gone so far downhill, it's ridiculous. To start out, we had a RESERVATION for 7:30, A RESERVATION!!!! But we were sent to sit in a waiting area where multiple parties of Japanese tourists continued to cycle through and be seated even though they checked in after us. We waited for twenty minutes AFTER our reservation time in the patio waiting area, forced to listen to garbage island versions of pop songs at the loudest possible volume on a portable speaker. After we were finally seated, I asked if there was somewhere we could store a walking stick for a senior member of our party and was told no. Keep in mind, the final bill BEFORE tip was $677!!!! Really? You don't have somewhere to put a cane?!?! Disgusting service so far. Skip forward to ordering. When I asked for my steak to be medium rare plus, not an uncommon order. I was told that my steak would just be medium. TOLD! For the cost of the steaks there, DON'T tell me what I'll be eating. YOU, AS THE FOOD SERVICE BUSINESS, MAKE IT HOW I WANT IT, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!! More disgustingly poor service. I don't care that the "server" had worked there for 14 years. Just atrocious. So, my fillet ended up being over cooked and dry. $132 thrown down the drain because the local guy apparently decided what I would get, not what I wanted. Thanks, bro. Bang up job! I've been to this restaurant before, three or four times a year. It feels like it's just been ruined by apathy, poor work ethic, and catering to Japanese tourism. For the love of all that's food based, there's a menu item called "Cream of Corn" which sounds like a direct translation from a foreign language since in English we say, "Creamed Corn." Just an embarrassment at this point. Go to Hy's. It's better food, far, far better service and unlike Wolfgang's, Hy's is absolutely worth the money.

    Driving around Waikiki looking for a steakhouse restaurant to grab a bite and the only one open before 4:30 pm is Wolfgang's Steakhouse! Thank you for having your restaurant open early and for taking walk-ins! Parking is the largest garage parking by Royal Hawaiian hotel with 7-levels of parking! You can have it validated. The first 3-hours is free for Kamaaina and Military. After that is $8.00 per hour. We were greeted immediately with a friendly host and took us to our table. Our server came in to say hi and provided the menu. His name is Dakota. He's is one of the friendliest, most aloha spirit, and attentive server I have met this year 2025. We were also service by Satoko and Mattix, who were also both shared a friendly smile. We started with a variety of breads with butter. My favorite is the rye bread with the nuts then the onion bread. If I may, maybe consider serving softer butter. The bread was warm but not hot enough to melt the butter...your thoughts? For appetizer, we got the Wolfgang's Fresh Oysters on the 1/2 Shell. This was served with lemon and some vinaigrette with onions...I love the fresh oysters with lemon and hot sauce. But this would be much better if served or topped with lemon, soy sauce, hot sauce and tobiko! We didn't enjoy the strong sauce that almost felt like a sting on our throat... He ordered Wolfgang's Rib Eye Steak in medium rare. It was seasoned with perfection! He paired with the Wolfgang's Lobster Mac and Cheese. This was divinely cheesy, buttery and filled with lots of lobsters!! Super yummmmm!!! I had the Wolfgang's N.Y. Sirloin Steak in medium. I enjoyed mine with that oil scooped on top! I got the sautéed mushrooms and onions. My only wish would be if they might maybe consider making it with mixed mushrooms! It would then be so perfect! Overall, the restaurant was filled with happy customers. It was nice to see part of the street view. What made our experience even more special would be that Dakota felt natural with his service. He served with a nice, friendly smile but you can feel a little laughter in between when I made the comment about the sauce. He didn't just shrugged it off. We also appreciated that he carried a couple quick conversations whenever he would check in on us! Wolfgang management, IF you are reading this review, please know how much we love and appreciated our service experience with your staff but more so with DAKOTA!!! He is epitome of service!!! Thank you, Dakota!!! Thank you for reading my review. Have a great week!

    First time coming here and I was pretty impressed. Came here for Valentines dinner, and got their pre fixe menu for 2, which was $214 & was a pretty good deal. We did have to wait 10 minutes despite a reservation but they were super busy. Our server Lloyd was very kind & always checked in on us. The steak was tender and came out hot/fresh. This menu also included oysters, spinach, mashed potatoes, and dessert. The chocolate mousse was so so good. Overall I'd come here again.

    Lobster bisque
    Stephanie T.

    The service here was incredible. Our waiter, Timothy was absolutely wonderful. We started off asking about the lobster rolls and he told us we could easily order them without chives as they are made to order. It's hard to get lobster rolls without chives or green onions. The lobster bisque was delicious but the standout was the seafood platter. There was so much crab meat.

    I was able to be accommodated on Christmas without an advanced reservation because I had a chance to secure one and did not, which actually worked to my benefit as the A/C was down and it was HOT inside. I was seated outside and it was perfect. Clyde, provided awesome service. My food: Ribeye 4/5 German Potatoes 4/5 Peas 5/5 (who knew??) Creamed corn 3/5 I was very satisfied. The restaurant was staffed and ready to host guests. Thank you.

Delicious for hula pie but if your heart is set on a drink in a pineapple, you cannot get it here.
