History

Wolfgang's Steakhouse was founded in 2004 by Wolfgang Zwiener (1939–2025), [3] the headwaiter at Peter Luger Steak House, with over 40 years of experience. Its first location is on 4 Park Avenue in Manhattan, [4] within the former Della Robbia Bar, a designated New York City interior landmark. [5]

The restaurant has since expanded with over 34 worldwide locations, including New Jersey, California, Florida and numerous Asian countries, including Japan and South Korea. [6] [7] The first branch in the Philippines opened in February 2016 at Resorts World Manila; the country has since added five other branches. [8] A branch opened on Duddell Street in Hong Kong in June 2017. [9]
