New York’s iconic Wolfgang’s Steakhouse by Wolfgang Zwiener officially opens its doors on June 17, 2022, at Resorts World Genting in Genting Highlands, Pahang, it’s 30th outlet worldwide.
The steakhouse is the latest addition to a range of restaurants at SkyAvenue shopping mall, Resorts World Genting.
Diners at the Resorts World Genting outlet can expect nearly everything from the original New York menus, with the Grand menu being relatively unchanged.
The steakhouse is world-famous for its dry-aged porterhouse steaks derived exclusively from Black Angus cattle. Dry-aging – which is the process of storing beef on racks for several weeks for tenderizing and enhancing the flavor profile – is what makes Wolfgang’s Steakhouse’s beef exemplary. It is this 28-day process that delivers steaks of such stellar quality.
The steakhouse offers the same intimate, ensconced feel, with low lights and signature vaulted ceiling with a classic herringbone design.
“Wolfgang’s at Resorts World Genting is a grand and beautiful steakhouse. It has all the elements associated with the brand – the wood, the chandeliers – as well as a beautiful wine cellar and bar. It is definitely appropriate to its environment,” said Zwiener, who spent a month in Resorts World Genting preparing for the launch of the steakhouse, together with business partner Lydia D’Amato.
Sparing no expense to ensure authenticity from every angle, Resorts World Genting also sent a team of restaurant staff and chefs to the flagship outlet in New York to be immersed in Wolfgang’s Steakhouse service and food preparation culture to ensure an organically delivered, classic New York steakhouse experience.
“Wolfgang’s is about attention to detail, a sense of urgency in service, and well-trained staff who understand they are serving VIPs,” said D’Amato.
Wolfgang’s serves signature offerings such as the porterhouse, rib-eye, tenderloin, sirloin, and beef burgers. It will offer mashed potatoes, sautéed spinach, and other sides to complement the meat.
Desserts will have a characteristically New York slant, with cheesecake, tiramisu and sundaes which can be ordered as a sharing platter.
Wine cellars are a fixture in most Wolfgang’s, with the Malaysian version being crafted out of reeded glass (a patterned semi-obscure glass design), with a feature made out of 600 wine bottles.
At 3,500 sq. feet, Resorts World Genting’s Wolfgang’s will have a 110-seating capacity, including its al fresco seating, which will overlook some of the most picturesque parts of the Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park thoroughfare.
Linen-draped tables, oxblood furniture accents, intimate alcoves, banquette seating, a private room for up to 12 persons, a speakeasy of 300 sq. feet, and a cocktail bar were all designed to transport guests to the original Park Avenue space.
Wolfgang’s Steakhouse has nine locations in the United States of America, as well as in Japan, Korea, the Philippines, China, Taiwan, Cyprus and Singapore.
