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.

    Absolutely fantastic. It was a thanksgiving pre fixe which in past experiences in other restaurants has always been mediocre. This was not the case. Everything was perfect including the wine pairing. Initially, we were bummed it wasn’t the normal menu since we had never dined here before but my fiance and I both agreed we were happy it ended up the way it did. 10/10. Staff were excellent and attentive. They read all the queues perfectly and showcased lots of knowledge in all categories. Go here. You will not be disappointed.

    Food was mediocre. Oysters/steak/cheese platter all were underwhelming to say the least. 30 day aged steak was average. Drink menu very limited. I ordered diff drink not on menu and it was not good. Had to modify it and still not good. I would not return.

    I brought my wife here for her birthday and we had a really great evening despite our meal be underwhelming. The charcuterie board and oysters were excellent and service was phenomenal. The staff was well educated on the menu and engaging. The main course was very disappointing. Our 36oz dry aged ribeye was extremely chewy and under-cooked. The mushrooms were extremely salty as were the duck fat potatoes. I think we may have just gotten a bad cut of meat, it happens, but at that price point the expectation is very high. The staff was great and the GM sent my wife home with a chocolate brownie boxed and topped with a bow! I did express our disappointment to our waitress and she was gracious about hearing me out. They checked on us several times and each time I said everything was fine as I did not want to interrupt my wife and I's conversation with complaining so i did not address our issues until after they had taken the food away. I explained to our waitress that my complaint was not about money and we paid the bill in full despite not eating the main course. They did pack everything up for us to take with us but no manager stopped by to follow up nor did the chef after I submitted my complaint. I did not want my wife's birthday to be marred by complaints and perhaps I should have lodged my complaint sooner but as a GM myself (in a past life) I would have followed up with a customer that did not enjoy their experience in my restaurant. It shows your guests that you care very little. We live walking distance from this establishment and will not return.

    Wagyu beef excellent, chicken liver pate excellent value for money appalling Portions tiny, said it was family style but absolutely not. Tiny portions of vegetables No greens at all to order The black truffle spaghetti was only 4 tiny bites altogether Fish was about 3-4 ounces not even enough for one person, though was delicious Rib eye had big chunks of fat No options for dietary restrictions Was told chocolate cake was gluten free, then found out it was not Altogether an extremely expensive meal, well over $200 per person with small amount of alcohol and everybody left hungry

    Phenomenal food and service. Beautiful restaurant with nicely spaced tables. Expensive - but the quality of the ingredients, preparation, and flawless friendly service makes it worth the splurge.
