Gwen is a Michelin-starred restaurant celebrated for its excellent food and service. The lively atmosphere can be quite loud, creating a unique ambiance that distinguishes it from other upscale establishments. Guests are greeted warmly upon arrival, and the service is commendable, with knowledgeable waitstaff and attentive personnel. Diners can enjoy a chef's table experience at the counter, offering an entertaining view of the chefs at work in the open-concept kitchen.
Food portions are generous and delicious, encompassing everything from the cocktails to the main dishes. The restaurant offers a Summer Tasting special, which features a lineup of different dishes, including steak, seafood, and a delightful dessert like key lime. Recent reviews praise the fantastic tasting menu, highlighting the dry aged steaks as delicious and perfectly cooked. Although there was a prior issue with a vegetarian dish, the restaurant handled it gracefully by acknowledging the mistake and providing a solution.
However, one drawback is the air conditioning, which can be too powerful, causing the food to cool down quickly and making the indoor temperature feel chillier than outside. Guests noted a wait of 15-20 minutes for seating, despite having a confirmed reservation. Despite this, the positive aspects of Gwen, such as its exceptional food and service, make it a worthy dining destination. The comfortable chairs and romantic atmosphere on the second floor contribute to an overall enjoyable dining experience.
