Wolfgang's Steakhouse by Wolfgang Zwiener

Driving around Waikiki looking for a steakhouse restaurant to grab a bite and the only one open before 4:30 pm is Wolfgang's Steakhouse! Thank you for having your restaurant open early and for taking walk-ins! Parking is the largest garage parking by Royal Hawaiian hotel with 7-levels of parking! You can have it validated. The first 3-hours is free for Kamaaina and Military. After that is $8.00 per hour. We were greeted immediately with a friendly host and took us to our table. Our server came in to say hi and provided the menu. His name is Dakota. He's is one of the friendliest, most aloha spirit, and attentive server I have met this year 2025. We were also service by Satoko and Mattix, who were also both shared a friendly smile. We started with a variety of breads with butter. My favorite is the rye bread with the nuts then the onion bread. If I may, maybe consider serving softer butter. The bread was warm but not hot enough to melt the butter...your thoughts? For appetizer, we got the Wolfgang's Fresh Oysters on the 1/2 Shell. This was served with lemon and some vinaigrette with onions...I love the fresh oysters with lemon and hot sauce. But this would be much better if served or topped with lemon, soy sauce, hot sauce and tobiko! We didn't enjoy the strong sauce that almost felt like a sting on our throat...He ordered Wolfgang's Rib Eye Steak in medium rare. It was seasoned with perfection! He paired with the Wolfgang's Lobster Mac and Cheese. This was divinely cheesy, buttery and filled with lots of lobsters!! Super yummmmm!!!I had the Wolfgang's N.Y. Sirloin Steak in medium. I enjoyed mine with that oil scooped on top! I got the sautéed mushrooms and onions. My only wish would be if they might maybe consider making it with mixed mushrooms! It would then be so perfect! Overall, the restaurant was filled with happy customers. It was nice to see part of the street view. What made our experience even more special would be that Dakota felt natural with his service. He served with a nice, friendly smile but you can feel a little laughter in between when I made the comment about the sauce. He didn't just shrugged it off. We also appreciated that he carried a couple quick conversations whenever he would check in on us! Wolfgang management, IF you are reading this review, please know how much we love and appreciated our service experience with your staff but more so with DAKOTA!!! He is epitome of service!!! Thank you, Dakota!!! Thank you for reading my review. Have a great week!

First time coming here and I was pretty impressed. Came here for Valentines dinner, and got their pre fixe menu for 2, which was $214 & was a pretty good deal. We did have to wait 10 minutes despite a reservation but they were super busy. Our server Lloyd was very kind & always checked in on us. The steak was tender and came out hot/fresh. This menu also included oysters, spinach, mashed potatoes, and dessert. The chocolate mousse was so so good. Overall I'd come here again.

Been coming here for years but the last time I went here was for a friend's bday dinner and it was a great time! We ordered the seafood combo for our appetizer, steak for three, German potatoes, onion rings and sautéed broccoli. Everything was delicious and the steak was cooked to our liking! The sides were yummy and went well with the steak. I think this place has one of the best onion rings haha. Sometimes I feel like the service here could be a hit or miss but for this time it was pretty good. Our server kept checking on us and he even brought out a slice of tiramisu since it was my friend's bday! Overall, I really do enjoy the food at Wolfgang's Steakhouse! This place may have mixed reviews but don't let it stop you from trying this place out if you haven't already!

The service here was incredible. Our waiter, Timothy was absolutely wonderful. We started off asking about the lobster rolls and he told us we could easily order them without chives as they are made to order. It's hard to get lobster rolls without chives or green onions. The lobster bisque was delicious but the standout was the seafood platter. There was so much crab meat.

I was able to be accommodated on Christmas without an advanced reservation because I had a chance to secure one and did not, which actually worked to my benefit as the A/C was down and it was HOT inside. I was seated outside and it was perfect. Clyde, provided awesome service.My food:Ribeye 4/5German Potatoes 4/5Peas 5/5 (who knew??)Creamed corn 3/5I was very satisfied. The restaurant was staffed and ready to host guests.Thank you.

Mom made reservations for Thanksgiving at Wolfgang. She used OpenTable to make the reservation. We started with seafood platter and 1/2 order of oysters. We got full just eating that. It was delicious. My mom order thanksgiving special and I ordered pasta. The pasta is delicious I couldn't eat it all because I was already full from the seafood platter. The shrimp is hella huge. Everything on there was delicious. The winner was the chocolate mousse pie . Omg. That's hella delicious. Next time I'm going to ask if they sell the whole chocolate mousse pie.

Food was wonderful as usual, and the wait staff was very attentive.We had lobster bisque, garden salad, and Kirin Icheban beers.

I could have sworn I had left a review, but sometimes they randomly disappear. So here's my recollection from April 2024. My hubby and I went for an early dinner, and had assumed that the happy hour menu items would be small, given the prices (I think it was lower than now), but we were walloped by how HUGE the portions were, lol. We didn't make it to the dinner menu because the happy hour items did us in, lol. We absolutely loved the formal but friendly service. It was so nice to have such professional service. That alone was worth going for, if you remember wistfully about "the before times." This is a "dress nice" kinda place, and the air conditioning is aggressive, so a light sweater is recommended!As for the food, the following happy hour items were what we had:Mini loco moco - not that mini, very delicious. Definitely the best of this trip. Steak tartar - enormous amount of fantastic beef, and a deconstructed and simple presentation which was a bit surprising. But it was nice to have a classic steak tartar flavour instead of all the weird sauces and powders that seem to have ruined this dish everywhere else. If you are a classic tartar enthusiast and don't mind mixing up your own plate, this is dinner. Tenderloin kebabs- this was their least successful dish. The sauce was sweet and rather thin. The meat was under seasoned and underwhelming, but the veggies on the skewer were great. With the rice it comes on, this is easily a dinner serving for a typical woman appetite. We had gone thinking that this was a Wolfgang Puck restaurant (lol) and then realized that it was a dude named Wolfgang who had opened up a bunch of steakhouses in Japan! Which explained why the place was full of Japanese couples, many of them with serious looking cameras solemnly taking reverential photos lol. But don't worry, the tables are well spaced apart, it shouldn't bother you. If you are looking for a great value, their happy hour menu will not disappoint. But we were impressed enough that we want to go back for actual dinner on our next trip.

Great steak but a bit of chewy. The temperature was ok. I can't say it's truly memorable. Service was good. Ambient is good but crowded, and seems a bit of chaotic and rushed. Not a relaxing place.

We came for breakfast and luckily there was no wait and the service was friendly and attentive. I ordered eggs Benedict and was enjoying my dish until an issue was presented within the dish. Fortunately, they took care of the issue in a swift manner. However, my concern is with the sanitation and cleanliness process in the kitchen. Hopefully, they will improve on this.
