I'm still blown away by the quality of the dishes, the flavor, the attention to detail... everything was simply perfect. My server, Erica, was very kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. The food is pricey but worth every penny. I would come back for a very special occasion or if they have a promo for Dine LA or something. Also, the wine selections were spot on as well. 10/10 would recommend!

I had high expectations of this meal given that the restaurant has a Michelin star. Having eaten at many such establishments around the world I have to say that expectations were not met. The food is ok, although everything had too much salt and often had ingredients added that were not necessary. The New York strip I had was far from the best I have ever eaten. Quite a lot of sinew and gristle which normally should have been removed at a restaurant of this stature before cooking. The service was ok, but no very personable. Overall a bit of a disappointment.

This place is so amazing. A great dinner and well worth the price. The staff is amazing. Ask for Jordan he really guides you through the menu to make sure you eat what your heart desires. A must try place.

We had such a wonderful experience! We were celebrating a birthday and it was a delightful evening. We were blown away by the food and the staff. It was a joy to have a leisurely meal and to be able to watch everything come together in real time. This might be one of the best steakhouse-style experiences we've ever had!
Justin
Outstanding service. Great timing food delivery, giving you plenty of time to eat before the next serving.. Definitely recommend family style eating
Danielle
Gwen is perfect! Food is insanely good, drinks incredible and the team professional and lovely!!! It was special from the moment I walked in to when I left.

The food was excellent, very tasty, but the service was not up to par... in a Michelin-starred restaurant, certain things shouldn't happen. If you make me book at 9:30 pm, you don't make me feel rushed to finish the service. If I order a platter of the restaurant's signature dishes, the waiter must be knowledgeable...you can't confuse salami with ham...we were the ones who explained the selection to the waiter (maybe he has been working with them for a short time) If dishes are meant to be shared, a pasta dish can't be served alongside the main course, a fantastic steak for which the restaurant is renowned. Furthermore, to fully enjoy the food, the dishes should be changed. Our waitress had said at the beginning of the evening that she would take care of us, but that didn't happen. As requested when we made our reservation, the dinner was a celebratory occasion, but that's not important to anyone. I repeat, we ate very well, it's just that the service in a starred restaurant must be on another level.
Gregory
A terrific meal and experience. All recommendations by staff were excellent, particularly the wine recommendation.
Linda
It was amazing. We had the most delicious meal and our server Jordan was just lovely. The food was exactly as I expected, incredible and if it's possible to say of fine dining, large portions. Would highly recommend

I have been to Gwen previously and it's always wonderful. This was a wine dinner in the private room upstairs. The food was outstanding and the space warm and inviting. Gwen is always a great experience!
I think we expected more... food was somewhat lacking unique flavor profiles. Had the Charcuterie plate which was definitely sub par from others we have had at other restaurants. Thought the water menu was a little pretentious and over priced. We didn't have a steak entree which might have given us a different impression.

The food is always amazing but the staff yesterday was above and beyond. Will return again and again.

3 of us had dinner, ordered lobster tagliatelle, a new york strip wagyu steak, few sides (potato, charred tomato, creamed corn) and bonoffee pie to share. Serve of bread with butter is free to start with, love the warmth in the bread. The lobster Tagliatelle is really tasty, the sauce, shredded lobster and pasta are very well cooked to create a balanced texture of this dish. We order medium rare for the wagyu steak, love it with just simple salt and pepper. Bonoffee Pie has a crispy base to make it cruchy each bite. I also really love the tone and ambient of the dining hall, the restaurant also has a session looks like a garden house which gives a different feeling. My friend asked for a signed menu as souvenir and the restaurant team happily provided it! A very decent dinner experience, thank you Gwen :)

The 32oz Rib Eye (30 Day Aged) was perfect. After a few apps and with a few sides it feed 4 people, no problem. The Steak was $215, but it really was worth it. In my top five Steaks all time.

We loved every part of our visit to Gwen's! From our amazing cocktails at the bar with Drew to unbelievable food and service from Kathryn in the upstairs cozy couch seating for dinner. We felt like we had our own private dinning experience. This was our 2nd visit and look forward to going again.
