Profile
After four decades of faithful service to Peter Luger, its former headwaiter, Wolfgang Zwiener, has opened a restaurant of his own. The elegant room with its striking Guastavino-designed vault ceiling, a bigger menu with more seafood, and the credit-card policy (they take them) distinguish Wolfgang's from Peter Luger. The meat, though, is prime, dry-aged for about 28 days in a basement locker and cut into porterhouse steaks for two, three, or four, just the way they do it in Brooklyn.
Recommended DishesPorterhouse for two, $81.90; filet mignon, $39.95; sirloin steak, $39.95; lamb chops, $39.95; salmon, $29.95; creamed spinach, $8.95; cottage fries, $9.95; German potatoes, $11.95

I had dinner at Wolfgang's last week with my friends and we had a really great time. I had heard a lot of good things about this place, and I also knew about the waiting even with reservations, as it says in the Zagat Survey. However, me and my friends had a good time drinking at the bar until we were called from the maitre d. The food was amazing, not to mention the professionalism of the staff. I have been here before for drinks, so I know how busy the place gets every night. I believe it is understandable if they get one or two complaints compared to about 400 customers that they accommodate every day. I love the place, and the waiters are so funny, they just make you forget about the wait. Can't wait to go back. I highly recommend it!
Worse service, combined with bad food

I have never seen such a downright rude waiter in this city. Not at a nice steakhouse like Wolfgang's where you would expect to have a more attentive and professional service, when you see the Internet-side. He rushed us, took our plates away when we weren't finished, and was practically throwing things around. No basic manners at all. Our steaks were like coal. I ordered it medium and asked for it not to be blackened on the outside. The steak came rare, but blackened enough to have a charred taste. The steak itself isn't as flavourful and tenderly as I've had it at other steakhouses. Conclusion: If you are in New York City and you are looking for bad to worse service, combined with bad food, than you have to go to Wolfgang’s Steakhouse.
