I just happened to visit KZread and Evan made me hungry 😋. I saw Wolfgang Puck when ran a search of seafood restaurants at BGC. I only eat steak once in a blue moon and prefer it medium well. But those steaks are mouth-watering and juicy like they're supposed to. Your Easter dinner was indeed somewhat expensive, yet not expensive enough for a family of 5 dining in an expensive part of the US. After all, you're in PH and why you moved there. You mentioned in the beginning about an expat that will be able to identify a good steak for confirmation. I can go by your advice since you love eating steak with great appreciation. Good choices of desserts. I love terramasou with good coffee. I"m certain it's bottomless. Keep eating good for motivation. Happy Belated Easter! Stay safe and thanks for all. We'll see you soon. 😊

Second place is the house of prime rib SF. Your line of sight on the establishment’s menu was unbiased. You withheld your thoughts of over patronizing the place. I’ve seen videos where the review is always 100% which is unrealistic. If you are planning on another restaurant review do one with seafood, I.e. “boils” like in Louisiana in particular if it exists out there. I personally like cold smoking fish.

There's even giant 36 inches pizza like Big Guy's if you are hosting for a bunch of people and if they're not very picky on quality. You might also see an odd pizza place or two sometimes that's got brick oven to cook it with and those are not too bad at all.

I am impressed, but it reinforces my recognition that you have already been a success and will be more than one.

I noticed the T Bone steak served is precut.

Wolfgangs is not the best steakhouse Philippines. It is a chain. It is one of the top 10 in the Philippines. Try La Cabrera or 22 Prime or Cru. Wolfgang’s in New York city is the best. In Here in Toronto we have Ruth Chris, Morton, Harbour 60, Barberian, Hys and for me the best one is Jacobs and Co. I have been to all of them here in Toronto but my steak days are nearly over. Cannot that much steak anymore. Enjoy.
