Curtis Stone’s Michelin-Starred Hollywood Steakhouse Gwen Is Closing | Eater LA
"A Michelin-starred restaurant, butcher shop, and bakery opened in 2016 by Australia-born chef Curtis Stone and his brother as a follow-up to their Beverly Hills tasting-menu project. Lauded for its modern Art Deco design, soaring ceilings, and a fully visible wood-fired grill, the operation evolved into a high-end steakhouse centered on meats dry-aged on the premises; its expanded butcher shop became a city destination for house-made charcuterie, salumi, pastries, and sandwiches. After eight years in Hollywood the owners announced plans to close that location—likely in early-to-mid August—while seeking a new Westside site, citing neighborhood challenges after the 2023 writers’ and actors’ strikes and the January 2025 wildfires and expressing a desire to grow, refine, and reimagine the concept." - Matthew Kang
