Gwen Butcher Shop & Restaurant is the second restaurant from fine dining chef Curtis Stone (of Maude) and the first he’s opened with his brother Luke Stone. Gwen is both a European-style, chef-driven butcher shop and a restaurant that is redefining dining in LA, with a menu that calls on fire-based cooking techniques. Whether you’re picking up house-made charcuterie, prime and rare breed meats from the retail store, enjoying a feast in the dining room or relaxing with a bite and cocktail at the bar, Gwen delivers the highest standards of quality, taste and service.

On Wednesdays-Sundays, we offer Chef's Carte Blanche 5-course tasting menu for $130 per person (limited quantities available). The whole party must enjoy the tasting menu and wine pairings are available for $75 per person. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the restaurant at 323-946-7500.

    MICHELIN 1 Star

    2023

From the OpenTable editors: Part high-end butcher shop, part steakhouse, Gwen is the brainchild of Curtis Stone and his brother Luke Stone. The MICHELIN-Starred experience is a celebration of all things meat: The dramatic dining room is surrounded by glass-enclosed dry-age rooms and a central fire pit. Expect housemade charcuterie, pasta with bacon Bolognese, and impressive steaks like a 30-day aged Creekstone Farm ribeye.

    Everything was wonderful. They treated us so well for our anniversary dinner. The only negative comment is that the food tasted a little too salty for our taste.

    Nick is arguably the BEST server in LA! He is so knowledgeable and honest and fun without being at all intrusive. The front desk staff are also excellent. They rush to open the door for us and greet us with big smiles. We aren't huge regulars, but they make us feel like we are. We're never rushed from our table (but we don't linger endlessly on a busy night). Compliments to the bus team as well for their attentiveness. Overall, one of the best restaurants in LA, and not a big bold presence on this quiet corner on Sunset. You will never be disappointed. (And if you are for something you didn't really love, they totally make up for it with extra goodies and tastes at no charge. Thanks to all the Gwen team!

    We dined at Gwen last night, and were so excited to finally visit the restaurant. It did not disappoint. I was so impressed with the entire staff, every associate from the butcher counter to the hostesses to the wait staff was welcoming and accommodating. It was a lovely & fulfilling experience. Our server Ethan walked us through the menu and was tireless in answering our dozens of questions. He added another layer to our wonderful experience. We look forward to coming back soon, and I will be sure to tell everyone about the wonderful evening. Thank you!

    Our experience at Gwen was amazing. We sat at the Chefs counter which made the experience that much better! The wagyu was out of this world and cooked perfectly. The signature salad is a must and the carrots were cooked to perfection.

    Service was flat. Never once offered to refill my drink. When a drink that we ordered was not to our liking because it featured an ingredient that was not mentioned in the menu, we asked for a replacement and were charged for both when we clearly did not drink the original drink. I’m pretty sure the thing I said I ordered didn’t get recorded properly and they also messed up part of our order that I had to have corrected after the bill came. It’s like they try to do all the standard fancy restaurant moves but don’t quite get it right with thoughtfulness. Meat was almost cold when it came out. I get that resting is important but not at the expense of it coming out cool. It also was under. I like medium rare but they undercooked to the temp. Hard to fix when it’s presliced. On the plus, bread and butter were fabulous as was the dessert that we had.

    Service from all asssociates was excellent from hostess stand to tables servers. Quality of steaks was excellent though fish course was lacking much flavor. Warm bread was nice introduction to meal and went well with drinks.
