Gwen

Get A Table At The Hottest Restaurants In LA With Chase Sapphire Reserve - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Gwen is the most consistent high-end dinner spot in Hollywood and a place where spending $200 on a hunk of meat feels worth it. The dining room has crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, pendant light fixtures illuminating dramatic white pillars, and multiple hearths roaring with fire in the open kitchen. Though the menu changes seasonally, you can generally expect dishes like charcuterie boards arranged like a meaty painter’s palette, parmesan risotto with a marrow-filled bone towering from the center, and some of the best steaks in LA." - team infatuation

The 22 Best Sandwiches In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Head to Gwen for dinner and you’ll find an opulent dining room and ribeyes as thick as phone books. From 11am-2pm, though, they offer braised meat sandwiches (and two cold-cut grinders) at the front butcher counter. Options include horseradish-y beef and mushroom, and chicken with leek and gooey gruyere, both saucy, decadent sandwiches that’ll have you power-napping in your car. Our favorite, the confit duck leg ragu with salty pancetta and parmesan gremolata, is practically stew on bread. There aren’t any tables available, so plan to eat somewhere you can sit down, or on the hood of your car if you can’t wait. And don’t forget to grab a stack of napkins on your way out. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park

Los Angeles’s 2025 Michelin-Starred Restaurants, Mapped | Eater LA

"One star. Curtis Stone earned a star for his meat-centric Hollywood restaurant, which boasts its own butcher counter. A meal here feels like a fancy Art Deco party flowing with grilled steaks and inventive drinks. Gwen announced a closure some time in August 2025 and will relocate to the Westside." - Eater Staff

"During the day, this enticingly arranged butcher shop sells humanely raised meats from local partner farms. By night, Gwen opens into a glowing dining room showcasing the same upscale cuts à la carte and on its multicourse tasting. Named for their beloved grandmother, this collaboration between Chef Curtis Stone and his brother, Luke, conjures Art Deco glamour with crystal chandeliers and a roaring fireplace.The menu is concise and stars house-made charcuterie and wood-fire grilled steaks. Watch from the chef's counter as the crew deftly cooks high quality meat, perhaps a Blackmore Wagyu New York strip, to perfection. Save room for dessert, like a round of cheesecake nestled in a mound of graham cracker crumbs and topped with a quenelle of mango lime sorbet." - Michelin Inspector

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
