Michelin-starred steakhouse & butcher shop with wood-fired grill
"A Michelin-starred restaurant and butcher shop, it’s known for live-fire cooking and a butchery program, with a focus on elegant preparations and seasonal West Coast ingredients." - Regan Stephens
"Art Deco gem Gwen will be open on Thanksgiving with an elegant $145 set menu that includes smoked carrot soup; roasted acorn squash painted with a brown butter honey glaze; slow-cooked turkey breast, a turkey confit leg, and honey glazed ham; and sides such as braised shallots, charred red cabbage, and beef tallow Parker House rolls with orange blossom jam. A selection of classic pies for dessert seals the deal; reservations can be booked on OpenTable. Curtis Stone’s Pie Room in Beverly Hills, meanwhile, will be serving the same stellar slate of whole pies ($80 each) to go." - Eater Staff
"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
"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
"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
