Went during happy hour, definitely go early as it can get busy. It was surprisingly a quiet setting based on how the layout of the restaurant is. Ordered the calamari, seafood crostini, loco moco, and skewers! All were really great, the skewers were just a little bit dry.
Honestly one of the best meals I have ever had. The steak was amazing and the mashed potatoes are to die for! The service was splendid, as staff was incredibly friendly and helpful when we had any questions regarding entrees. Gorgeous location too and it is very intimate and romantic for couples. I will definitely be back!
I love meat, especially steak, and this place hands down has some of the best steak I've ever had. We ordered the tomahawk and finished every bite--it was incredibly juicy and flavorful! This restaurant definitely deserves more than 3.5 stars. Stopping by Wolfgang's Steakhouse has become a must during my annual trip to Hawaii. Great customer service and ambiance to come with a date , family or just friends.
Went with friends for lunch. We ordered the lunch entrees which was seafood pasta, loco moco and bolognese pasta. Our fave was the bolognese pasta. Seafood pasta was a bit too fishy and the loco moco was mediocre. 2 stars knocked off for service as we didn't get our water filled until we had to ask. The waitress was more attentive to the table who ordered steak and seafood tower. I felt like we were left hanging because we didn't order the more expensive entrees so the service we received was so-so. Overall, we probably won't return for a while.
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.
I always make it a point to visit this place whenever I'm in Hawaii. This was my first time coming for lunch, and I ordered the loco moco. the gravy was incredibly delicious! If you're looking for a great loco moco, this is the place to go. I highly recommend it!
言わずとしれた名店ですね。 ハッピーアワーを予約して１５時からお邪魔しました。 値段は安い分、量も控えめでしょうか。 高級店なんでしょうが、何が良いのかわかりませんでした。ハワイで食べるより日本の同店の方がコスパ良いと思ったのは私だけでしょうか。
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.
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.
This is a steakhouse I usually go to for dinner, but a few days ago I stopped by for happy hour for the first time -- and it turned out to be such a great experience. The steak photo I posted is from a previous visit, but this time I ordered the loco moco and the chopped salad. Since it was past the lunch hour, the portions were slightly smaller, but I was still more than satisfied. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented. The loco moco was comforting and rich without being too heavy, and the chopped salad was crisp and well balanced. We walked in without a reservation in casual clothes and were seated right away, which was a nice surprise. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, making it easy to enjoy a laid-back meal. Our server, Emily, was especially wonderful. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, it was a very satisfying visit, and I will definitely be coming back again -- whether for happy hour or dinner. Highly recommend this place for great food and friendly service.
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.

I'll start with the punchline - they couldn't cook a $200 tomahawk steak. We ordered it medium rare and it came out looking boiled with NO SEAR. It looked disgusting. They also cut it up and it wasn't pink it was boiled looking. They said they put the pieces on the grill. No idea why, it wasn't seared. Waited 15 minutes for my server to appear to let him know and he says "do you want us to remake it?" as if we would want to eat a $200 steak like that? By the time they brought us a new one, everyone else was cold. The mood was over. It wasn't worth reordering all the sides and waiting again. The new steak was undercooked and also not seared. How does a steakhouse not know how to make a steak? We didn't order it any different than one would expect. The server was also terrible and rude. He brought a slice of cheesecake "to-go" as if that should make up for it. We don't even like cheesecake, at least ask me what I like if you plan to offer something. We spent $400 and didn't even enjoy a meal. We enjoyed a few sides and then a decent steak later by itself. No manager came over at any point. We were visiting and have a 5 month old baby. This was our first night out in a date night in over 6 months. We got a sitter. We were excited to be out. We are visiting from CA. We should have picked somewhere else. I hate that we spent over $500 to have a terrible night out. I could have raised it to a manager and made a big stink about it but I didn't want to further ruin the night for our date night. read more

Not many people know that this restaurant is owned and operated by Japanese company Thats why they have fresh seafood form Japan Servers are nice and attentive read more
Great dining experience. Especially for a chain restaurant. We made a reservation through OpenTable and we were seated immediately. Lobster Bisque Wow! Really good!! Perfectly spiced and well balanced. We would come back just for this. Lobster Mac and Cheese Too much cheese. It was already separated by the time we tried it. Not recommended. Sauteed Mushrooms Well prepared yumminess! This is a must get menu item. Highly recommended! A Taste of New York A great start to finish choice if you're not sure of what you want. A sizzling NY steak, mashed potatoes, creamed spinach and a cheesecake with a lemon meringue-like whipped cream. Great flavors and filling. The Tomahawk A very nice cut of meat. Dry aged to perfection. Larger than other steakhouses. Also, more expensive @ $195.95. I had a side of rice of course. The lack of a crust made the texture a bit monotone. Overall, the tomahawk very tasty and large enough to satisfy a LARGE appetite like mine. Bottom line: Wolfgang's is a great option to have in your list of places to dine while in Waikiki. There are quite a few menu items that are worth coming back for served by great people. There's a brunch, lunch and dinner menu. Conveniently located in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. We paid $4 for parking with validation. Wolfgang's is worth checking out. read more

Drinks were delicious, strong and incorporated tropical flavors. Crab cake was made with real lump crab meat so it was especially hearty. The tuna tartare was almost like poke, salted and with a hint of sesame oil. Onion rings and steak fries were on point, not too greasy but with a lot of crunch! Steak was cooked and flavored to perfection, with table side wait staff to prep and serve the portions while identifying the cuts of meat. We were fortunate to have one of the tables next tot he window so we could people watch while dining. An entertaining addition to our dinner as Waikiki was booming (it was a Friday night). Highly recommend asking for a window seat. Our top to-go place for steak. We have been to other steakhouses on Oahu and elsewhere, but if we could only eat one steak for the rest of our lives it would be from Wolfgang's. The seasoning is perfect and the medium rare just right. Wish there was one closer to Kapolei, we'd go all the time . read more

Waited a long time to try this place. So sad and disappointed. I think we ended up with one of the lesser waiters, kept having to ask other waiters for things that we asked ours multiple times for. The steak, potato and sides were like any other restaurant that charges $30 for a steak. There was a screaming toddler near us as well. If you get sat by a window you might have some decent views otherwise you are just looking at the other people in the restaurant. We tried many other much less expensive restaurants here on the island and the service was so much better than here. The food quality was so much better than here. We took home leftovers and they were spoiled within 48 hours in the fridge read more

To preface my friends and I used to come here frequently. Covid kind of killed that but with everything letting up we decided to pop in for dinner. Reservations were quick and we were seated quickly. Awesome! Our drink orders and appetizers were taken and brought quickly. Still great service and the food was good! The seafood platter is always one of my favorites! Now onto entrees...we ordered the steak for two and the veal as it was recommended by our waiter Rafe. On the side we ordered the sautéed broccoli, mashed potatoes, and onion rings. Steak and veal arrived sizzling. The guy serving the steak and sides did a fantastic job! Steak was cooked well and the veal looked good. First bite, the steak was okay. The veal was chewy and tough. Thats a first for veal. We did not eat this. The steak honestly was just okay and didn't justify the price this trip. Maybe the quality changed due to covid? Here's where it goes sideways. Our server started ignoring two of us and only talking to our friend. He wouldn't address my other friend and I and would only check on my other friend. Take away boxes and drinks were directed at him for direction. Dessert menu was handed to him like he was ordering for the table though he had said nothing all night. Weird. After 15 minutes of waiting our waiter came back to ask our friend if we were having anything for dessert. My other friend asked if the cheesecake was still flown in. He must've been invisible. The waiter did not answer. My other friend asked and was told no, it wasn't anymore. We passed and asked for the check. Bill arrives and our friend that received all the attention gets the bill handed to him. Though my other friend and I had our cards on the table. Paid the bill and we left with the waiter thanking our other friend for coming. I've been watching a lot of Harry Potter and am glad my cloak of invisibility was working here. This experience will save me a lot of money going forward. Will not be back. read more
as i walked along kalākaua avenue early one morning, after a failed attempt to catch a nice view of a hawaiian sunrise, in search of a good coffee and breakfast, something caught the corner of my eye! movement within wolfgang's steakhouse? pretty early for them to be getting ready for lunch service, no? google and yelp had conflicting opening timings but looks like potentially, they could be open for breakfast??? say what? steak for breakfast? that's only in paradise! wait, i am in paradise, no? ;) a small time wandering around found popular places with snaking queues and empty places looking lack lustre. after settling for a quick coffee fix at honolulu coffee, i backtracked to check out the situation at wolfgang's steakhouse. signs of life outside! is it a queue too? nah just some group being given an intro to the restaurant, phew! 2 japanese ladies walking ahead of me proceeded in, yes, they are open! whilst waiting for them to show me in, i quickly peruse the breakfast menu and liked what i saw! let's go! wait! i'm in shorts, t-shirt and slippers! :( let's ask if they have a dress code??? was actually prepared to walk back to my hotel to change if they indeed do have a dress code BUT shockingly to me, they don't. this is indeed paradise! steak for breakfast in slippers and shorts, hooray!!! :) restaurant setting is spacious, bright and airy. and i get to choose where i want to sit? sure, near the windows but away from the harsh sun, please! service was prompt, courteous and attentive given there were only 3 diners! lol i have had wolfgang in sg before and was confident of standards and thus not worried at all about the quality of their food. just be ready to foot the hefty bill when it arrives! you have been warned. but first, coffee? nah, i'm having steak so let's see if i can get a nice glass of red wine? and of course i can! "the critic cabernet" from napa and a generous pour too! :) and then the main event! steak and eggs. a 16oz bone in ribeye medium rare with a side of eggs, potatoes, tomatoes and asparagus. if you like mustard with your steak, just ask them like i did. she was way too generous with that too! lol this is indeed a great way to start the day especially if you like OMAD and i can so see myself coming back! see you in paradise, again, soon! ;) read more

Went a handful of times during the pandemic when it was less crowded and loved coming here for Happy Hour. Great food, great service. It's more crowded nowadays so we don't eat out as much in Waikiki. Today was special though so I took my dad here for his first time and he absolutely loved it. Lush ambiance, staff was warm and friendly (especially Tai/Ty), and we enjoyed the steak sandwich, boston clam chowder, and fish and chips a lot. I know it sounds silly, but ask for the bread basket when you come here. It's some of the best bread I've had on island. read more

I know that Wolfgang's is supposed to be known for their steaks, but I personally like to go there for their appetizers and the sides! Their jumbo shrimp cocktail, crab cake, fried onion rings and lobster mac & cheese are my favorites on the menu! To all the Kama'aina and military personnel, if you spend $10 or more, you have 3-hours of FREE parking. Validations are available at the RHC Helumoa Guest Services desk from 11a-8p, 7 days a week. read more

Very disappointing 3 stars. The ambiance was great. The service was exceptional. The food... can't say the same. Ordered the lamb chops -- very flavorless, and was not a fan of the char. Lobster mac & cheese wasn't very cheesy or flavorful. Beverly Hills salad was good. Canadian Bacon was very thick and not flavorful. Tuna tartar was decent. Bread was probably was my favorite thing. Filet was solid. Portions were plentiful; however flavor was not. read more
My husband and I went here for a fancy date night. It was so amazing. Probably the best fancy restaurant we have been to so far in the island. We ordered the steak for 2 dinner, oysters on the half shell and lobster mac. The steak was impeccable, it was juicy and fell apart in your mouth. Absolutely coked perfectly. It was definitely enough for the two of us, we even ended up taking half of the mac home. The lobster Mac was very good too. There were huge lobster chunks and it wasn't watery. The oysters were the best we have had on the island so far as well, they pull them from the shell for you. The drinks were super creamy and so delicious, we were very tempted to order more of them. The waiter was so friendly, incredibly accommodating and just top tier for service. He even gave us the chocolate mousse cake for FREE! it was soooooo delicious, light and fluffy!! The inside was romantic but we sat outside which I was very happy about. They have giant umbrellas above the tables and there aren't many tables so it's very quiet which is perfect for date nights of course. They used to have a dress code but they no longer do. I presume since after Covid. I wish it had a dress code again just to add to that prestigious atmosphere. This place is extremely pricey, we spent almost $400. But it was sooo worth it for that once a year splurge! read more

My husband and I came here on Saturday night for dinner for our anniversary. We made reservations for 6 PM. When we arrived to Wolfgang's steakhouse it was quite crowded already. We were seated right away, but we were seated at a very small table which was out in the hallway of the Royal Hawaiian shopping center. I know they need to do the social distancing and tend to have some tables outside of the actual restaurant to achieve this, but it was quite awkward to be sitting there to try and enjoy dinner with lots of random people walking by us. We started out with an ice tea and a mango smoothie. The iced tea was your basic iced tea, mango smoothie was delicious, priced at $10. We ordered the crab cake appetizer ($27) which was delicious and included one large crabcake. For dinner we ordered the filet mignon, cooked medium and the ribeye steak cooked medium rare ($66-67). My husband stated that his ribeye was cooked perfectly, however, my filet was well done and unseasoned. It did come with a dipping sauce which was very peppery and taste, but not really flavorful. We had side orders of German potatoes and sautéed mushrooms. The potatoes and mushrooms were very good. Service started initially very good but then slow down as the dinner went along. Initially our waiter was Grant, but halfway through the dinner it changed to Shon. We waited a long time to Pay our bill. Also they knew it was our anniversary, but no mention of it during the entire dinner not even wishing us a happy anniversary. Honestly for the price ($250) without any alcoholic drinks you would expect a more enjoyable dinner. read more
It seems fairly consistent that the ratings are great here and we would agree. Very attentive and great servers. The tomahawk was quite impressive and we also enjoyed the mac and cheese (see photos). The cheese was a good blend with great taste. Also exceptional deserts (see photo). Dessert was very tasty as well. Always a great time and worthwhile for steak in Hawaii read more

Back here for dinner for a family member's birthday and as always the food was amazing along with our server Matthew! When we first checked in the hostess was a bit on the "unpleasant" side because she thought we made the reservation just on the Happy Hour menu and told me that normally they don't do that and would of just canceled the reservation...ok but like WHO SAID I booked it like that?! Not me! You should of asked me first and confirmed before telling me all that. No wonder why she ended up seating everyone else before us even though we had reservations at 6p. We didn't get seated til 6:17p but whatever. At the end she did say sorry for the misunderstanding and proceed to validate our parking...but she screwed up again and out of 4 parking tickets, only 2 were done. Anyways, despite my rant about her, I'm still giving 4 stars...to MATTHEW. read more
Excellent Happy Hour! Everyday from 11 am to 6:30 pm. My family enjoys playing tourist in Waikiki and this venue definitely does the trick. We get to enjoy the vacation mode and have a delicious and affordable meal for the locals. We pretty much tried all the Happy Hour menu items, our favorites are loco Moco, steak sandwich, tenderloin kebab and seafood crostini! They use QR code for Covid tracking, temperature check and social distancing measures. There's also outdoor dining! read more

Probably one of the most disappointing dining experiences ever. The restaurant host is pretentious yet the wait staff was very attentive. Marcus gave us great suggestions. Lobster bisque was very good and it went downhill from there. The New York steak bone-in was over cooked and tasteless. I NEVER use steak sauce with my steak but tonight I had to. After eating half of the tasteless fried steak I was done. The mash potatoes were ok. The spinach was too salty. Cheesecake dessert was a no bake cheesecake that my kids could have made better. Very expensive and not worth what we paid. Marcus recommended we come back for breakfast. I think I'd rather go to Denny's down the street. read more

Great place to eat at. We didn't have any reservation when we came in but they took us in. We got the angel hair pasta with pesto and fish n' chips. They were good and couldn't finish the whole thing. The ambiance was great. Customer service is also great, they gave us some breads while waiting. There's an additional $5 for the chicken on the pasta btw. Oh yeah, I just remember there was a fly inside and because of that, I took 1 star away. It's all perfect except that experience. read more

I mean let's get real, it's Wolfgang Puck. I'm not a fan of his pizza but when got steak I'm on it and you can't mess that up. I'm lovin it. I enjoyed it all, the steak, the potatoes and the corn. It all tasted good. Everything was on point and worth every overpriced dollar. Treat yourself don't beat yourself and have a meal here. read more
Another night of great food and service. Came for happy hour and dinner. Our go-to is oysters, lobster mac and cheese, and the happy hour Taste of New York (bone in New York steak, mash potatoes, creamed spinach and cheese cake). Pretty good deal with all the food you get. My wife and I split all this. Sat in bar area (table) to watch MNF. Two TVs viewable in bar area only. Happy hour beers $6 and select cocktails $8. Great fine dining table service by Lloyd (and another gentleman that just got off work). Everyone super friendly and appreciative. Mahalo. See you next trip. Come here folks. Your steak is waiting for you. read more

Bookmarked this place for over a year ago and finally able to make a reservation on Valentines Day. Despite how busy they were & how many people were waiting for their table, they did their best to accommodate everyone in a timely manner. My husband & I waited about 45 mins after our reservation time, but didn't bother us to much since there was so many other parties ahead of us. Workers, Waiter/Waitress constantly moving and getting everything for their tables. As we waited outside to be called, they have set tables in their little grass area which was nice and good to extend more parties and also to keep the 6ft distance per table. Once we got settle in, we were absolutely AMAZE. How fast our food and complimentary bread were coming through our table. We were seated outside and our waiter CHRIS and his partner NATE was so awesome!!! These two worked as a team and made sure our waters were filled at all times, always checked up on us like we were the only couple in the place haha. That how's consistent they were, despite how busy and crazy it was. Our food was so delicious. My husband and I shared the steak for 2, which was a lot! And side order of sautéed mushroom (amazingly flavored), sautéed spinach with extra garlic, and mashed potatoes. We also had a appetizer of the jumbo crab cocktail (fresh and delicious). And of course to end the meal, we had the most softest and mouthwatering cheesecake!! Definitely recommend getting that to share! Other than that, we'll definitely be coming again!! Thank you Chris & Nate for the awesome service. read more
First time dining here but it won't be the last. With the exception of where we were seated, everything else was perfect about dinner. First, let me say that I've never gone here because embarrassing enough, I thought Wolfgang's Steakhouse was a fancier version of Wolfgang Puck. So wrong and so happy that I was because the experiences were different. The parking is easy - just make sure to take the ticket with you as three hours was $20 but with the restaurant's validation, it was $2. Service was great. A bit confusing at the reception area but it was a bit hectic so understandable. Despite the hustle and bustle, everyone was professional and nice. Our main and secondary waiters were absolutely awesome: friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and tons of very helpful suggestions. The only negative part is that we got sat in a back room and it was cramped and rather loud since the room was small and anyone's conversation tended to reverberate. That said, if this is the only thing to complain about, it's all good since we got a window table. Ordered the Wolfgang Salad, steak for four (one porterhouse and one NY strip), and side orders of creamed spinach, lobster Mac & Cheese, and asparagus. Then to finish off dinner, a sampler dessert mix of chocolate mousse, key lime pie, and cheese cake - and while the freshly made whipped cream is supposed to accompany slices of your dessert, the whipped cream is delicious and rich enough to be its own dessert! While waiting, they start you off with three kinds of yummy bread. Can't complaint about bread and butter. The salad came with thick bacon and shrimp with fresh veggies like string beans, tomatoes, lettuce and onion sprinkled with a light vinaigrette. Served cold, it was a refreshing way to start. The steaks were really perfect. Ordered medium rare because if you order medium, sometimes you get well done. Here, the plate is sizzling so if you order medium rare, you can continue to cook the steak on the side late which is perfect for sharing with other people. Anyway, the steak is aged and seasoned with salt and pepper. Could really gobble it up without the sauce but, it you like a little bit or tangy and sweet, then their sauce is great accompaniment. We ordered the porterhouse and NY and while both were delicious, I loved the porterhouse better because it was so much more tender. As for the sides, my favorites were the onion rings and asparagus. Didn't care for the creamed spinach - it wasn't bad but it was bland. Also, the lobster Mac & Cheese is a bit dry and I was surprised at how light the dish was given its Mac & Cheese. The lobster was delicious and I loved the lightness of the dish so next time, hopefully it's no t so dry. I have a really bad case of sweet tooth so I couldn't tell you which dessert was the best because they are all delicious. The lime key though is definitely fruity and tart and the texture is delightful. The cheese cake is light and not sickly sweet. And the chocolate mousse was so yummy but really rich in comparison to the other two. The best part is the freshly made whipped cream - it's delicious and rich enough to be its own dessert. In closing, it was just a great experience overall and so glad friends wanted to go because otherwise I'd still confuse it with the other restaurant and be missing out. read more

Celebration for my daughters 16th birthday!! Darren was our server. He was so pleasant and friendly. So knowledgeable. The last time we came to dine at Wolfgang's, it was downstairs with the sister pasta place. That business combo was not the greatest. I am so happy they reopened (apparently 2-3 days after that stint). We passed by the other day and saw that they are back at their original area!! We had to come back to their regular area that overlooks Kalakaua Ave. The Co-General Manager Brandon also came to chat with us. In all of his busy duties he made an effort to see us and discuss that "stint" someone thought would be a good idea. Seriously though.... pasta should stay with pasta and Wolfgang should stay at this area. The location makes it even more inviting. With the Covid Pandemic.... They also have dining outdoors and have made the area so relaxing and the ambiance is serene. Good job I must say. Our guys ordered steak for two. Their warm plates came out in anticipation for the medium rare steak. The steak took longer than anticipated. Jason came with another "hot plate" for the steaks. So it is at appropriate temperature for their amazing steak. How cool was that!! The service is above amazing! The food is the best. There hasn't been anything we ordered that wasn't to our expectations... well usually it's better than we anticipate. Wolfgang's Steakhouse is our go to. We have not found a better place. It's worth the drive out to Waikiki. We staycationed for our daughters birthday weekend. They made the celebration amazing and special. The staff came out with a desert platter and sang happy birthday- the rest of the restaurant patrons also clapped.... so fun indeed If you need to park - Wolfgang will have it validated for the Royal Hawaiian Shopping complex. If you've not been here.... or haven't been for awhile. It is time to check them out. Best steaks ever... read more

I came here during lunch and started with the shrimp jumbo shrimp cocktail which was very good. I then chose the classic cheese burger and added bacon. Just to let you know it's actually not a piece of bacon, it's pork belly. When I asked for it they said it's was thick slices of bacon but that was not bacon. If you like pork belly go for it but if you don't then pass on the bacon. Other than the "bacon" everything was fantastic. read more
