   Disappointed does not describe it. The wine list is overpriced and after four attempts the restaurant had a bottle of what l wanted. Each time l was told my choice was out of stock l was offered an alternative at twice the price by a waiter who knew nothing about wine. But getting the bottle I finally ordered took twenty minutes. When we spoke to the floor manager about the delay. Rude and unprofessional , we are busy was her response and just walked away. One waiter did try hard but was let down by others. The French onion soup was tasteless. Our steak along with those sitting near us had to go back to cooked. Everyone was complaining about slow service and poor cooking. Funny thing friends of the manager turned up and had amazing service, the rest of us just had to suffer. The bill was $330 with a suggested service charge of$70. I gave the hard working waiter $20? The floor manager thanked us for coming and hoped we enjoyed our meal. This place is about making money not food or service. I would suggest find an alternative steak restaurant.

   I wasn’t impressed with the food. My ribeye was grizzly and not what I expected from a NYC steakhouse. The German potatoes are awful but the spinach was good. I enjoyed the wine and the service was perfect, especially Kimberly at the bar. Overall a disappointment….

   Went for a family birthday dinner. The food and drinks were great. Service was great also. Food were very large portions therefore shareable which allowed us to try many different sides. The steak made to perfection. And my favorite appetizer was the sizzling canadian bacon. Yum!

   This is my favorite steak house in all of NYC. The filet mignon is bigger than any I’ve ever seen. The wait staff is hovering nearby for fast service. The 3rd street location has the best ambiance. The drinks were amazing.

   As soon as we walked in it was smoky. And was noticeable throughout our meal. Other than that, noise level was great and we were able to hear each other talk. The food was exceptional, as always, and the service was great. We brought a friend for her birthday and I asked the Maitre'd to please put a candle in whatever dessert we ordered...but I guess she never told our waiter. When we left, she was sitting at the bar?!?

   I recently dined at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse on 54th Street, and unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. The service was mediocre at best. After our food was served, the waiter vanished, only reappearing when it was time to bring the check. I ordered the ribeye steak cooked rare, which was a disappointment. The steak was excessively fatty, with minimal seasoning, resulting in a bland and uninspiring taste. Given Wolfgang’s reputation, I expected much better quality and flavor. It’s clear that this restaurant is past its prime. While it may have once been a go-to spot for steak lovers, the overall experience—from lackluster service to underwhelming food—falls short of the standard you’d expect for the price point. I wouldn’t recommend it for those seeking a standout steakhouse experience in NYC.

    Keine Auswahl der Fleischgröße möglich (zB Ladies Cut). Daher muss jeder sehr teure groß Portion wählen. Gemütlichkeit fehlt. Fleisch ist zwar gut. Essen insgesamt ok. Aber man wird „durchgetrieben“. Es reicht schlecht im Lokal und es stellt sich keinerlei Gemütlichkeit ein. Preise extrem hoch. Filet Mignon z.B. 75 Dollar. Beilage mind. 16. Dollar. Sprudelwasser 12 Dollar und es wird ungefragt nachgeschenkt obwohl wir nach der zweiten Flasche gebeten hatten nicht mehr nachzuschenken. Hat leicht was von Touriabzocke. Schade.
