The story
After four decades in the business, Wolfgang Zwiener knows steak. As the longtime head waiter at Peter Luger’s, he learned the craft from the inside out. But rather than simply replicate that iconic steakhouse, he refined it. The result is Wolfgang’s Steakhouse by Wolfgang Zwiener—a place where classic principles are elevated, not abandoned. The restaurant’s own motto says it best: “Classic never goes out of style.”
From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is one of confident, unpretentious hospitality. The dining rooms are warm and polished, built for long meals and serious conversation. The menu stays true to the steakhouse tradition: prime cuts, simply prepared, and served sizzling. Lunch and dinner are served seven days a week, including all major holidays, and the kitchen maintains the same exacting standards whether you’re stopping by for a midday chop or a full evening feast.
Wolfgang’s dedication to quality extends beyond the plate. The restaurant has earned a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence, a recognition that speaks to the depth and care of its wine list. Whether you’re pairing a bold Cabernet with a porterhouse or selecting a bottle to celebrate, the program is built to complement the food without pretense.
With multiple locations across New York—Times Square, TriBeCa, Park Avenue, and Broadway—Wolfgang’s Steakhouse has become a staple for locals and visitors alike. Each outpost carries the same commitment to service, the same prime beef, and the same sense of tradition. It’s a steakhouse that knows exactly what it is, and does it exceptionally well.
