History

Wolfgang's Steakhouse was founded in 2004 by Wolfgang Zwiener, the headwaiter at Peter Luger Steak House, with over 40 years of experience. Its first location is on 4 Park Avenue in Manhattan,[3] within the former Della Robbia Bar, a designated New York City interior landmark.[4]

The restaurant has since expanded with over 34 worldwide locations, including New Jersey, California, Florida and numerous Asian countries, including Japan and South Korea.[5] [6] A branch opened on Duddell Street in Hong Kong in June 2017.[7]
