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.

We had a 7:30 reservation and after being told 3 times that our table was coming up, we finally were sat around 8pm. Restaurant is very busy, but a nice interior, I like the ceiling in particular. The thick canadian bacon is a must and a great way to start, as was the shrimp cocktail, though quite pricey. 6 for $49. The steak though was fantastic and one of the best I've had. We had the porterhouse medium rare and it was amazing. So tender and flavorful...exactly what a steakhouse steak should be. The creamed spinach was also spot on and perfect. The mushrooms were average at best and hashbrown potatoes were mediocre and wouldn't order those again. I saw many orders of fries which come out like a nest of fries, so maybe try that next time. For dessert the key lime pie was just ok...a little overly sweet. But the cheesecake was light and perfect way to close the dinner.

Extensive wine selection

Awesome pre-Rangers/Kings game dinner at Wolfgang's. We usually go to the Greenwich St location but were in the area so decided to try it. We were warmly greeted by both hosts upon entering, and promptly seated. Had a nice spacious corner booth table, and as the dining room was filling up I appreciated how they spaced tables, didn't just fill ppl right next to each other as most places do. Large parties had room to stretch and couples had privacy as well. We were warmly greeted by our server KENNY. He advised us that he'd worked at the Tribeca location for many years and was now here. He promptly took our order, crab cake and the ribeye, medium. The crab cake was good but dry, like it'd been sitting out a while but the ribeye was stellar!!!! The ribeye didn't arrive as hot as I would've wanted but I think it might've partially been because I'd asked to receive both dishes together. Nonetheless it was delicious, flavorful and tender. For dessert I chose the tiramisu with whipped cream & strawberries and it did not disappoint. As the dining room filled up however, we didn't get as many check-ins as I'm accustomed to at Wolfgang's. After our steak was served we ate and were ready for dessert and flagged down a server, worried we'd be late for the game. Overall we had a great meal, at a beautiful restaurant and look forward to returning to Wolfgang's in the near future!!

Top shelf steakhouse offering sizzling steaks, mouthwatering seafood and an extensive wine menu. Perfect for power lunches or that special occasion dinner. Friendly and attentive service from the minute you arrive until the time you leave. Beautiful bar area that is great to grab a drink while waiting for a table or to simply unwind after work. Can't recommend this place enough.

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.

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!

Porterhouse and onion rings - Wouldn't recommend
Jenn R.

(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.

Beautiful ambiance but noisy when full . Enjoyed our porterhouse steak and sides. Service a little slow and inattentive for an upscale steak house.

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.

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

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.

We got the Banter Bowl, which includes pickled carrot, cabbage, watermelon radish, cucumber, edamame, avocado, quinoa, and miso ponzu dressing. You have a choice of meats, so we chose the grilled chicken. Second, we ordered the falafel bowl that includes three falafels, pickled onions, avocado, cucumber, whipped garlic feta, kale salad, romesco, and Za'atar dressing that had a delicious flavor. However, our ultimate favorite had to be the Thai Crunch Wrap with sweet potato fries. It was fairly busy, and our drinks took a while to come, but the food arrived shortly after. The next time I'm back, I will be sure to reorder the Thai crunch wrap. If you have food allergies, they are extremely accommodating and have numerous vegan/vegetarian/GF.

Think vintage wallpaper, little knick-knacks, and warm lighting. It's got character. I ordered the market salad with mixed greens, honeycrisp apples, goat cheese, candied pecans, and sherry vinaigrette. 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.

The inside looked really nice with some nice pictures on the wall and lots of space for seating. They also have a downstairs that has a bar and plenty of seating. We just ordered a few Aperol Spritz and chilled at the bar. The drinks tasted really good. Hard to mess that up but you never know. They had music playing from something in the background which was really good. The bartenders were alway asking if we needed anything so that was good. We didn't order any food but the plates that we saw looked really good. Definitely a place you need to check out if your looking for a cool spot to drink and get some bites to eat. They also have a good happy hour and from the looks of it a nice brunch with bottomless mimosas. Have to come check out this place if your in town or live near the area.

My objective was to find a bar for happy hour in Midtown East. In my rarely treading over to the…read moreeast side these days and wanting to avoid Grand Central I searched a little through google maps what was nearby Murray Bro Hill/Kips Bay area and this spot popped up and I remembered wanting to check out their brunch but never did. It's $25 for unlimited drinks plus food by the way. Which is sad is a deal these days. Anyway, their happy hour is solid enough for a Monday and was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. Place is actually very cute. There are no tvs which I appreciate and the paneling of the walls and decor with all the flowers is quite tasteful. Happy hour deals 4-7pm Mon-Fri & all night Thursday apparently: Aperol Spritz $8, Hugo Spritz $9, Paloma $10, Mules $9, Draft Beers (except Guinness) $7, House Wine $9. As well as 2 Appetizer Bites for $19.95. Not the best but not the worst. I'm normally not a Spritz kind of gal. I think watering down prosecco or wine is heinous. But it was a Monday and I didn't exactly feel like powering down into happy hour so Aperol Spritz it was which switched to a Modelo later. It was the perfect drink situation on a god awful hot as hell day. We also ordered the fish tacos and what initially were the curry fries but they brought out the Greek fries. I wasn't mad about it. Honestly was torn between the two and I don't send food back unless something really bad happened. But it was essentially a side of Caesar salad dressing with feta cheese and generous amount of herbs on a very sparse and frugal amount of crispy standard cut fries. Now I know why it's a 2 for $20 deal. The tacos were 3 in an order which I guess is typical. They weren't bad but nothing stood out to me. I'd come for the drinks or try something else on the menu.

I never thought I'd see the day a Jewish Deli would consider some vegan dupes of classics - but wow - way to be on trend and health conscious to help cut down the heart disease and cholesterol meds. I'm here for it and couldn't believe my Vegan friend would ever get a chance to get close to the classic NY Jewish Deli experience in a vegan context. To be clear- they still serve up the real stuff too- but I just need to put it out there how rare and kind of amazing this is for an OG spot like Sarge's. It's been 9 years since my last review here and- wow, we've come full circle. Also- congrats to making it through and out the other side of the pandemic- many businesses did not, but it's nice to see an institution like Sarge's survive a serious hit like that, it means the community cares too. What's still good- OG 1960's-70's diner vibes and booths- a place your grands can feel at home, but very well maintained and clean. Portions that send you home full even if you're just ordering soup or a side of French fries- you will not leave this grand's house hungry ya'll. Classic flavors that come from recipes before artificial flavors were a thing- made with real bone broths that will keep your hair, skin, and nails shiny with collagen.

If you can get that pastrami without navigating a queue organized like an airport security checkpoint, all the better. Welcome to Sarge's Delicatessen. Founded at 548 Third Avenue in 1964, Sarge's was opened by Abe Katz, a retired NYPD sergeant who decided feeding Midtown was preferable to actual retirement. Facing the obvious naming dilemma presented by a certain famous delicatessen on Houston Street, he smartly opted to name the business after his police rank rather than his surname. Over six decades later, the vinyl booths, wood-paneled walls, and classic diner atmosphere remain intact. My family and I stopped in for dinner around 6:00 PM on a Friday. The place was surprisingly uncrowded, and we were seated immediately without the typical Manhattan routine of checking in with three hosts and standing on the sidewalk until your appetite dies. Service was prompt, friendly, and completely devoid of drama. As for the food, we ordered enough to conduct a proper survey of the menu. I had a pastrami Reuben, while my wife ordered the beef barley soup and a half pastrami sandwich. Our oldest son chose the matzo ball soup and a half salami, while our youngest went with a hot dog. We added fries for the table, along with a Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray soda and a classic chocolate egg cream. Everything was outstanding. The matzo ball soup was deeply comforting, the hot dog had a proper snap, and the fries vanished with impressive efficiency. Even the house pickles and coleslaw tasted fresh and intentional, rather than serving as decorative plate filler. Then there is the pastrami itself. Saying this in print can cause traditionalists to question your judgment, but I believe Sarge's pastrami is better than Katz's. Quite a bit so. Katz's has the international fame, the endless lines, and a chaotic ticket system that feels like a live-action hunger game where everyone is competing for cured meat. Sarge's pastrami, cured in-house, is sliced thin, carries a better ratio of fat to lean, and delivers a richer spice profile in every bite. You get elite pastrami without the surrounding circus. Sarge's offers extraordinary food, comfortable booths, and an authentic 1960s atmosphere. If someone tells you that you have to stand in line on Houston Street to get the best pastrami in New York, smile politely, thank them for the advice, and head to Murray Hill instead.
