Fantastic meal from start to finish. We came to celebrate my birthday and Gwen did not disappoint. Loved the dining room and our comfortable booth. Our server was great – friendly and skillfully guided us through the menu. The food was uniformly delicious. Highlights were the table bread and butter, fresh oysters, lamb ribs, lobster ravioli, duck fat potatoes and bone in ribeye. Cocktails were excellent as well. Loved this place.

It’s that environment when at the restaurant the taste of each bite makes you give a small satisfying nod. You close your eyes and breathe out heavily – mumbling “Oh that’s SO good!”
And not only you. It’s a collective act that I have experienced while dinning this evening at Gwen.
I made a terrific choice with this place as they’ve put care and fantastic flavours in all the courses. Alongside a glass of Barbaresco and the flat iron with mouth-melting texture, this evening was delicious beginning to the end.
Chose the Piemonte region after a wine tasting with Country 🙂 hoping that my next time here there will be white truffles season for the menu 🙂
My most fav was the chicken consommée with shiitake and chives though 🙂 DELICIOUS! But all the appetizers were amazing. On the house also 🙂
And… the knives selection!! Absolute WOW! I picked Nashville Tennessee origins Damascus steel. Gorgeous and sharp 🙂
Don’t remember the dessert details but it was delicious and had some cinnamon with it. Hopefully the restaurant will describe it again for us 🙂
Amazing treatment by Audrey, who carried me through my evening at Gwen, taking the time to explain the dishes and helping me decide. The entire staff was very friendly. Thanks for the wonderful evening!

I loved my meal here, everything was delicious and the service was wonderful! My favorite items were the lobster ravioli (must order), the flat iron steak, and the side of creamed leeks & onions. We ordered a decent amount of food and they paced it out really well even though we had a later reservation time. I would definitely come back again!

Stopped here before going to a concert at the Dolby Theatre, had a great time! Recommend the chef’s table if you can sit there, it’s a great experience and the cooks are happy to answer any questions you have about their work.
The water menu was cute and the steak was absolutely on point!

Really good dinner. Service was impeccable. Not sure it lives up to 1 Michelin star but the food was great and it had some cute gimmicks like water menu at the beginning of dinner and selection of knifes to choose for steak course. I greatly enjoyed my experience here. Lobster fondue and the steak were stand outs!

Gwen is a beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere and, overall, good food. That said, we were a bit disappointed by some availability issues. We went on a Sunday at 5:30 pm, which is still early service, yet they were already out of cranberry juice for a drink and ran out of their featured 32oz steak that was off menu. For a restaurant of this caliber, running out of key items that early in the evening is not acceptable.
The food we did have was good, but I’d recommend sticking with the main menu items rather than the higher priced aged steaks. In our experience, the value of the aged steaks did not justify the premium price tag, though that is just our personal opinion.

Absolutely fantastic, the service is some of the very best in LA. No attitudes or demands, just professional with continuous courtesy and a commitment to your comfort and enjoyment. The most unique touch, the water service and list w/selection from all over the world. The cocktails are amazing, this may sound odd but we had one of the best Negronis.
Wine list is deep and thorough, and well priced. The steaks are sublime. The beet salad was incredible as were the duck fat potatoes.
Highly recommend an evening here, look forward to returning soon. It’s quite romantic and has a lovely European feel.

Gwen was a nice dinner spot, mainly because of the ambiance and the great service. The food itself was just ok, the charcuterie plate felt underwhelming and the portions were small. The meat was good, but honestly the best part was the fresh bread with butter. The cocktails were excellent, and I liked the unique water menu (though I’d tried some of the options before). Overall, I’m giving it 4 stars for the atmosphere and service.

Enjoyed dinner to end a mom daughter day in the area. We greatly enjoyed the experience from the staff, ambiance and the food. We shared the 36oz 30 day dry aged ribeye, cauliflower, duck fat potatoes, and chocolate mousse. My husband enjoyed the leftovers we brought home! For us, this is a special occasion restaurant, but I found it to be better priced than some steak houses in the area.

Experience overall: 3/10.
Great atmosphere, but not a Michelin-starred restaurant that we’d revisit.
We were greeted right away, and the host was polite, but I’ve never been to a high-end restaurant where the host didn’t pull out the chair for guests. I know it’s not required, and it’s not a big deal, but it felt a little out of place for this kind of setting.
The server made it known that they take all orders at once (rather than appetizers first), which was fine. They also wait to bring out the bread and butter until the warm dishes arrive — I’m guessing because they know it’s a favorite and don’t want people asking for refills.
We ordered all these dishes for two and couldn’t finish the pasta:
10/10: Bread & butter
1/10: Oysters on half shell
3.5/10: Hiramasa crudo
3.5/10: Crab dip
3.5/10: White fish w/ thai broth + ginger salad
5/10: Flat iron steak
4/10: Gnocci bolognese
5/10: Duck fat potatoes
10/10: Chocolate mousse dessert
We started with the oysters, which you can order individually, but they were our least favorite. They didn’t taste fresh and had that overly “ocean-y” flavor. The hiramasa crudo started off great — light and refreshing — but the last bite didn’t taste right (not fresh). Some steak restaurants have good seafood, but we quickly realized that this was not one of them.
The flat iron steak, served medium rare, came out closer to rare. We didn’t mind, but that could easily bother other guests. Steak was okay — not bad, not amazing, but I’d go elsewhere for a better overall experience. If we returned, the only thing we’d reorder would be the chocolate mousse (only thing that stood out besides the bread/butter).
I did think the water menu was a nice, unique touch.
Our server was kind but inattentive. She never checked on us during the meal, and we had to wave her down every time we needed something. It’s an open restaurant, so it’s not hard to notice her standing at the front or kitchen against the wall – talking to her co-workers for extended periods. Once or twice would be fine, but it happened repeatedly throughout our visit – enough to be worth mentioning.
