Top-notch Steaks

Wolfgang’s Steakhouse general manager Manny Cournede holds a pair of fine wines as he presents the eatery’s luxurious dishes.

Nearly 15 years after heralded restaurateur Wolfgang Zwiener introduced Wolfgang’s Steakhouse to Hawaii in 2009, guests are continually treated to an unforgettable dining experience that can best be described as simple and concise, with dashes of spectacular, delicious and consistent.

The New York-style steakhouse situated in the Royal Hawaiian Center in the heart of Waikiki serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and happy hour daily as entrées are accompanied by stellar appetizers and sides, premium spirits and an extensive award-winning wine program.

Wolfgang’s Steakhouse utilizes a 28-day dry-aging process to develop superior rich flavor and tenderness from USDA Prime Black Angus beef, which is tenderized and accented with recognizable earthy, complex notes. Popular steak selections are cooked in a 1,600-degree broiler and served sizzling with butter to let the natural flavors shine through without being masked by elaborate seasonings or sauces.

The restaurant has just undergone a $3 million renovation that includes refreshed bathrooms; a state-of-the-art wine room to complement its 2023 Wine Spectator Award-winning wine list; the largest dry aging room across the restaurant group; a 19-seat bar; as well as five private rooms for traditional dining, weddings and corporate and private events.

“These additions along with our recently acquired outdoor area means we now have over 20,000 square feet of useable space to accommodate our local, international and domestic guests,” says general manager Emmanuel “Manny” Cournede. “Our simple and concise approach starts with sourcing the best quality beef in the market in a consistent manner. All our beef is USDA Prime Black Angus from the best ranches and abattoirs in the country; only 2% of all beef produced in the U.S. is considered Prime. The never-frozen beef is air freighted to us on a weekly basis, right after the cattle is slaughtered, in sub primal cuts.”
