Amazing steak! Pricey, yes, but worth it if you’re celebrating something special. Perfect for the family. Not recommended for a simple dinner though because of the pricing but again great steaks

We decided to try this restaurant on a weekday lunch to avoid the crowd during weekends. I expected a lot from this restaurant, it was good, I was satisfied, but maybe I just expected more.The ambiance could have been improved, for a place as such, it should not be too small and crowded. I can hear the conversations on almost all tables since we were seated almost in the middle. I could not even imagine what it feels like when the place is fully booked.We ordered the Seafood Cocktail. The lobsters were okay, but it is not fresh, felt like it was frozen then thawed out. The crab meat was the winner, the shrimps had nothing special on it. I would rather devour on a kilo of mud crabs worth ₱800 than this platter worth ₱7500++The French onion was fantastic, it had a nice balance of sweetness and saltiness. The picture will tell the others.We tried the Taste of New York which included Mashed Potato and Creamed Spinach, please ask for your steaks to be RARE so you won't complain that it is dry etc (like the once next to us who had it done medium well, like are you kidding me?) These steaks are dry aged, it deserves the right way of cooking, come on. The steak was cooked perfectly, and with that Au Jus, it was a complete meal itself. The mashed potatoes were mousse like and I love it, the Spinach was perfect with the potatoes as well. I highly recommend this and is already good for two.The porterhouse good for two, a kilo of meat that is perfectly seasoned and cooked. It was amazing, the quality of their steak is the reason for going back here. Skip the appetizers, so you won't be half full. Save your space for their amazing meat.We ordered Japanese rice (why Japanese? I don't know, it's the only plain rice on the menu) ordering Steak Rice with my steak did not feel right. German potatoes were good, I just wished they didn't include the parts that were burnt so much. It had a nice smoky flavor but some pieces were just too bitter to swallow.To finish of, we had an amazing cheesecake. It was so good and it gave justice to the awesome steak. The Key Lime pie was too sweet for me. It was overly concentrated and was way down below the cheesecake.The servers were very attentive as it is just a small space. They were okay. I recommend a better exhaust so the smoke and smell won't circulate the dining area.This is a steakhouse, and you have to order the best in their menu, which is steak, of course.Enjoy!

Memorable dining experience as we celebrated our wedding anniversary here together with our kids. The Seafood Platter was quite fresh, each piece especially the oysters succulent and juicy. The wine we ordered paired very well with the Porterhouse Steak, one of the best steaks in town cooked to a perfect medium rare. The service was par excellence; attentive and personal, the friendly smiling staff made us feel like VIP. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to the establishment. We will surely come back. 😁

💕 Date for Two: The Wolfgang Experience, Taste of New York💌 Total: P7376Overall: There’s no stopping Wolfgang’s Steakhouse now. We’re amazed how Peter Luger’s Head Waiter now conquers the world with his own chain of fancy steak houses. Acclaimed globally, Wolfgang’s Steakhouse opened their second branch at The Podium Mall. First store is at Resorts World Manila. They are currently in the works for their third one, hoping to captivate the busy world of BGC.A true emblem of fine dining in the country, the restaurant adapted their New York-style interiors with circular chandeliers, comfiest couches and very fine wood works. The place was first intimidating but the second we’ve stepped in, we felt very much at home thus got even more excited with our lunch.At the time of our visit, their currently offer Lunch Courses and Lunch Specials on top of their mainstays. We did try their two Lunch Courses. It’s a practical option as the courses already includes sides and desserts, and an optional addition of appetizer.As expected, our visit started with a complimentary bread basket. There were no other choices for the butter, it was good but nothing special, we’ve tried better ones. We kinda love the one stuffed with onions and the rest were too dry and hard to chew.We tried both of their Lunch Courses:1. The Wolfgang Experience – unlike the other option, the Taste of New York, The Wolfgang Experience is priced depending on the entree, and also should you wish to add an appetizer.AppetizerSeafood Taster (P1088) – it’s a medley of tuna tartar, lobster salad and jumbo shrimp cocktail. All ingredients were locally sourced evidently fresh and of highest quality. The lobster salad was the star of this platter. If you’re working on a tight budget, this appetizer can be skipped. However, if you have some extra moolah to spare and really want that seafood fix, then go ahead and splurge.Soup or Salad (included in the set, no additional charge)Caesar Salad With Sizzling Bacon – fresh greens with croutons and cheese on top, served with few diced bacon. We must admit, we’re a bit disappointed how few the bacon bits were. We love how tasty and juicy it was so we would’ve appreciated it more if they tossed in a few more pieces. You might be thinking why in the world we’ve chosen a usual caesar salad at a fine dining restaurant like this. Oh well, they had us at BACON. Haha! Other options were the Beverly Hills Chopped Salad and Soup of The Day.EntreeRib Eye Steak (P3788) – 600 grams of glorious USDA Prime Dry-Aged Rib Eye done according to your preference. We personally requested our steak to be done medium rare. The restaurant’s suggestion was to have it done rare. We don’t think we’d be ready for that anytime soon. Haha! For now, we’ll stick with medium rare.Look at that humongous cut! It’s like the size of a laptop already! Plus, the thickness was beaming on top as well. Once this was served right in front of us, we were in awe. It’s just crazy big. We cannot contain our excitement to try and have a bite. And oh, that cute pink cow is an indicator of how the meat was done (to avoid mix ups) and definitely not just for props.That pink is perfecto! The crust was charred in moderation. The inside was screaming delicious and oozing with juices. The dry-aging was a success, we did not add any seasoning or sauce to this one as it was already tasty on its own. We’ve already tried a handful of really good steaks, Wolfgang might not have topped our lost but it sure is a good contender.Sides (both included, no additional charge)Creamed Spinach – we’ve never tried creamed spinach before so this first try definitely left a good impression. It was thick and tasty and doesn’t taste veggie-ish at all. We love how smooth it goes on the palate and how it compliments the steak.Mashed Potatoes – we’re not that fond of mashed potatoes,but this one’s an exception. It was silky and creamy, not the usual texture of a mash.Dessert of The DayTiramisu – the last course for the Wolfgang Experience. This sponge dessert is a must-try. So lucky us that this was the dessert of the day. This one tends to fly under the radar as we’re all focused on the meats. But at the end of the day, we all need a good old classic dessert. The Tiramisu was served with their homemade schlag, or normally called as whipped cream2. Taste of New York (P2500) – the other option for their Lunch Courses. This one includes a sirloin steak, sides and dessert at a fixed cost.Sirloin Steak – 400 grams of savory bone-in USDA Prime Dry-Aged Sirloin Steak done medium rare. This was more tender than the rib eye as this was less fatty. Served still boiling and bathing in its own juices, one bite sent us to steak heaven.The outside was delicately charred and the inside was still perfectly pink and flavorful. The size was amazing huge as well, this alone can already satisfy two people.Same sides were served, the Creamed Spinach and Mashed Potato. Having two sets of sides was too overwhelming for us, resulting with lots leftovers we got to take home.New York-Style Cheesecake – simplicity at its finest. This one’s the soulmate of dessert purists. It’s smoothly rich and the sweetness was well-balanced, served with their homemade schlag as well.This handy-dandy Old Fashioned Sauce, sitting between a salsa and a ketchup, was already present to each of their tables. This is to be paired to any of their dishes, whether it’s an appetizer or a steak. As much as it’s tempting to pour a lot, we haven’t been able to use this much as Wolfgang’s Steakhouse offerings can already stand on their own.Service, as expected, was top-notch. As the place was relatively small, all waiters were all caught up with our requests so easily. They also initially serve the orders to eachof our plate. So if you still want to take a photo of that steak as a whole (we know you would want to!), better do it fast or just tell them to wait. Overall, all of them were very nice, accommodating and professional.Important tip: On our second visit (yep, we did came back for more!), we were asked if we wanted still or sparkling water. Warning! It’s a trap! Haha! If you pick any of those, you’ll be charged a fortune for a good bottle of water, more peso to shell out if you consume more. We should’ve asked for their service water instead of agreeing to still water. Ikr, our fault! Please don’t ask us for the price, our hearts are still aching and we still cannot accept it until now, or ever. JK! Haha!The restaurant’s Lunch Courses is available from Monday to Friday, 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Check out our full review of the restaurant here.Value for money: Worth the splurge. This one’s perfect for special date nights and celebrations.#DateForTwo at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse by Wolfgang Zwiener

Although Wolfgang is not for everyone, it's ok just to try out the steaks and lobster just so you have an idea and experience. In our experience, we've actually had better steaks than Wolfgang's. Portion was big, but texture was tough and gummy. Flavors and taste were 'ok'. Does it warrant a ~6,000 peso price tag? Probably not, if you don't have someone to share it with. Bring 2 more friends to split the bill.At the end of it, you might think that with that amount of money spent for a steak, you could have done so many things. I would suggest that you dine here for a once in a lifetime experience. So make it special.

Celebrated my birthday here with my wife. Whether you’re a steak fanatic or not - always have your steak either rare or medium rare. That’s the only way to go.We ordered:- Shrimp for appetizer (It did not taste fresh)- Ribeye for two (this was great but we’ll try the porterhouse next time)- Onion rings (GREAT! It was well seasoned. I may be biased cause I love onion rings)- Mashed potato (just right)- House red wine- SangriaOverall it was a delightful experience. The attendants were attentive and even recommend what’s best to go with your steak. The ambiance was serene. Only downside is the price - we had a 10k bill. We’ll definitely be back. Not anytime soon but we will be back for sure.

Their porterhouse steak is top notch, no doubt, and it is worth the price, as the serving is more than enough, even with steak rice and onion rings on the side. The steak is bursting with flavor and not dry at all. So so good, probably the best steak I have ever tried. We also had fresh baked oysters, which were really fresh you can still taste a little bit of the ocean, and of course the price will just shock you once you get your bill, so be prepared as it isn’t written down on the menu. For me, the best part of the meal is definitely the steak.

I will give this place an easy 5 stars.  I have been here about 2-3 times and always enjoyed every visit.  The service has always been exceptional and food on point.  This is the best place I have had a good steak in Manila, so it is my go to.  The sides are also very good.  My recommendation is to get the lobster mac n cheese, because.. why not?!!  I like my bone in rib eyes.  But Ive also had the porterhouse and thats also delicious and juicy.Of course, the prices will be a little up there. But again, you get what you pay for.  It was worth my money and they can take it again.Lovely place to go for a special occasion!

Amazing steak. We ordered the 1kilo steak (supposedly good for 2 but it was waaaay too much) Service was awesome. But it's just soooo pricey. But worth it for special occasions.
