I should start this post by saying that Wolfgang Steakhouse is not the restaurant of Wolfgang Puck who opened Cut by Wolfgang Puck many years ago. No, this place takes its name from its owner, Wolfgang Zwiener who was a former headwaiter at Peter Luger. There is definitely a big step between working the dining room and the kitchen, and they successfully made it, but I admit that not all locations are equal. However, the one in Times Square is great: the food is consistent and their steak superb. The porterhouse ($69.95 per person), that comes sizzling or the tomahawk cajun style are both tender and juicy, with a nice crust, the butter adding a bit more decadence to it. Surprisingly, the cajun rub did not overpower the tomahawk that was succulent.

My favorite sides with a steak are the lobster Mac and cheese that is really creamy, and their sautéed mushrooms.

But before getting a steak, I always enjoy a crab cake ($29.95), theirs being made with big lump of crab, letting the crustaceans shine and not being overposwered with fillers or celery. Their thick cut of bacon is a bit pricey ($15+ a slice), but delicious with their steak sauce, and I also like their baked clam with a glass of Manhattan ($24) that I asked to get in a whisky glass the last time I went as I hate martini glasses!

Desserts ($16.95) are not to be ignored: I love their their pecan pie that was deliciously sweet and buttery with a generous amount of crunchy pecans, or their key lime pie, that is served with a homemade whipped cream to cut the sweetness of the pie and its tartness.

Wolfgang Steakhouse is one of my favorite steakhouses in New York, but in Times Square: the steaks are of great quality and their food quite consistent. I definitely recommend it!

Enjoy (I did)!
