AMAZING!!!!!

by hdp25

This is pretty much my new favorite restaurant in LA area. Great Wine selection, great port selection. Amazing food, service was excellent, and the toilets were incredible. This place has to have the coolest toilets I have ever had the luxury of sitting on! And for all you losers, who are too cheap to pay for excellent food, or don't understand "big" city dining (yes it is always a la carte) I am glad you won't be my company durin gmy next dining experience here! Thank you Wolfgang!

• Pros: Great Steak, Service, Toilets
• Cons: none

Best steak in LA for a reasonable price

by BHBoy

If you like a steakhouse-style steak (as opposed to a restaurant steak) , this place is for you. I really cannot fathom why this place has only gotten 3.5 stars so far. I've eaten quite often at other steakhouses in the area (Cut, STK), and while STK is very good, Wolfgang's is better, and cheaper also. The vibe is very traditional and not stuck up. This is my most frequented restaurant in LA, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

• Pros: Excellent (!) food, service, ambiance
• Cons: Expensive, but what steakhouse isn't

Never Going Back!!!

by nlease

I have been here twice. The first time was ok, not bad, not great. The second time was total douchebaggery!! I took my brother and 4 friends out for his birthday. We had an 8:30 reservation. We get there 5 minutes early and the hostess tells us it will be 5-10 minutes and to wait at the bar. 45 MINUTES LATER WE WERE STILL STRANDED AT THE BAR!! I blew them off and went to the Montage. F*** this place. I will never go back!!!

Overpriced Sizzling Hype

by bennie92

I split time between here and NY. This is just way over the top. "We're famous for our blah-blah potatoes" or "You shouldn't have the steamed spinach. The creamed is better." They act like the patrons have never eaten in a restaurant before. The service is pretentious and the steak is ordinary, really nothing special. And, it costs a small fortune. There is no sense or restaurant reality in this place. Buy a steak at Ralphs for ten bucks and cook it it home or go to a local joint that doesn't have to bring out a sizzling plate of grease surrounding your meat.

• Pros: If you want to say you had steak in Beverly hills
• Cons: About everything else including $7 valet parking

Great food, over attentive service

by sgilison

Excellent food but the service was over attentive, but it's not really the waiter's fault; server was a great guy. We went for early dinner after shopping so restaurant was quiet so maybe he needed more tables but I recommend you ask for them not to slice your steak (kind of their "thing") and tell them you can spoon your own sides onto your plate because you're not a helpless baby (unless you are or you like being interrupted every five minutes). If sliced, they serve the steak on a sizzling hot platter and give you a few pieces on your plate which means the waiter feels he has to come over to your table to serve you more pieces of steak so you don't burn yourself on the platter i guess. They even try to serve you the creamed spinach (very good, not super heavy or creamy) which seems silly. Canadian bacon was rich and very salty but the gluton in me enjoyed it. Great place just don't expect to be left alone.

• Pros: quality of the steak, nice atmosphere, baaaacon...
• Cons: over attentive service,

Mastro's is better

by RNK08

Nothing to rave about here. The space is very nice, the staff was friendly, and the food was good--although the famed "steak for four" (or three, or two) was the most disappointing part of the meal. This place has nothing on Mastro's, which remains by far the best steak in LA (the bone-in filet is amazing). We did have a Britney Spears sighting, so perhaps this a place to see and be seen for now, but I doubt it will have staying power.

• Pros: Atmosphere, service
• Cons: Mediocre steak (a problem for a steakhouse)

Excellent Service and Delicious Food

by dabergler

I've been to many (if not all) of the high-end steak houses in Los Angeles, and I can truly say that Wolfgang's is one of the best, in regards to food, service, and atmosphere. I went with my girlfriend to celebrate a special occasion on a Saturday night. We started with a seafood platter, which came with shrimp, lobster tail/claw and a crab, in addition, we were served a piece of Canadian bacon along side the platter, (which i would have never found to be a good pairing, but it was phenomenal). We then had one veal chop and one steak (i cannot remember the cut). both of the steaks were perfectly cook, and the waiter then cut both pieces of meat so we could share them. Overall, it was a heavy meal, but everything was perfect.

The restaurant is decorated beautifully, the tables were spaced out well, and the chairs were very comfortable. The wait staff was very attentive and courteous.

My only complaint is that the room is a little loud, and there are two televisions next to the bar (no sound). I find the televisions to be a little out of place in such a classy place. Additionally, Corkage fee was $30.00... which is about as high as it gets in LA restaurants. Nevertheless, they had a very nice wine list as well.

Overall, I found this place to be a gem, and I will be back.

• Pros: Delicious, Amazing Service, and Canadian Bacon

Classic New York-style steakhouse entices diners with hefty portions and impeccable service.

by Randi Schmelzer

In Short
Deceptively conservative from the outside, this posh Bev Hills spot treats patrons to a traditional steakhouse scene: White linen tables, sturdy wood furnishings, an ornate, arched ceiling, and a beautiful 26-foot mahogany bar. The third in Wolfgang Zwiener's mini-chain and his first in Los Angeles, the restaurant relies on classic starters such as lobster cocktails, crabcakes and beefsteak tomato-and-onion salads. Entrees, too, are steakhouse standards: Dry-aged porterhouse for two, three or four; bone-in New York sirloin, lamb chops and filet mignon. Rounding out the menu are Wolfgang burgers piled high with cheese and bacon, a selection of fish, and sides including cottage fries, creamed spinach and sauteed mushrooms. For dessert, diners dive into apple strudel, cheesecake and hot fudge sundaes, all available with dollops of homemade "schlag" (whipped cream).
