when one utters the name wolfgang, a swift and somewhat automatic chime in will most likely come in the form of puck?
enter the other wolfgang......................zwiener!
a man who brings with him 4 decades worth of experience from honing his skills at peter luger's.
a distinguished gentleman i had the honour of indulging in a wefie with.
i am just so glad he has injected much needed competition into the stale steakhouse scene and now this is a cut above the rest in all but it's prices.
i like how bright and airy this traditional and classic setting is.
i was swarmed by wait staff during dinner service and maybe half strength at lunch, in any case you will not find attention lacking.
it coud be more polished but i'm sure they will in due time.
the top 2% usda quality beef coupled with their humidity controlled in house dry ageing process means elation to your palate.
their specialty is the porterhouse cut which i had at dinner.
i left wanting to try their ribeye as that is my measure of a good steakhouse.
try i did at lunch but i have yet to reach a conclusive verdict and will reserve final judgement for when i finally try their dinner ribeye cut.
nevertheless they still secure top spot thus far.
just like in the states, the doneness is mostly under.
so a medium is akin to a medium rare especially for the bone in cuts.
lobster bisque can be apportioned and shared, making for double the happiness.
their namesake salad is what i would also recommend, a good combination of flavours from smokey thick cut bacon, warm grilled shrimp, caramelized peppers, sharp onions, beefy tomatoes, crunchy long beans and leafy lettuce.
the crab cake does not look the part but this is where the old adage, do not judge a book by it's cover, comes in.
not overly crumbed, not overly minced but chunky sweet crab meat that will please the fussy.
cream spinach is just another one of those must have.
no cream is used but the oh so smooth texture of that spinach, slurp it like baby food!
the wine cellar and bar area looks impressive enough for sealing any million dollar business deals.
i'll come back for a tipple or two, just with you!
for now, remember the name wolfgang................zwiener
there is a new steak sheriff in town!
