Set in an Art Deco room that radiates Hollywood glamor, the <a href=\"https:\/\/guide.michelin.com\/us\/en\/california\/us-los-angeles\/restaurant\/gwen\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Michelin-starred restaurant<\/a> fits the bill for special occasion dining that\u2019s far more chill than a multi-course tasting menu. Still, <a href=\"https:\/\/la.eater.com\/now-trending-los-angeles\/301804\/los-angeles-restaurant-steaks-local-influences-trend\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">personalized touches<\/a> \u2014 like choosing one\u2019s steak knife from a velvet-lined wooden chest and peeking inside the restaurant\u2019s dry-aging facilities \u2014 make a meal here feel like an event. Traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/la.eater.com\/maps\/best-steak-steakhouses-los-angeles\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">steakhouses<\/a>, full of beefy cuts and potatoes prepared every way, can be comforting but sometimes too predictable: Gwen offers an antidote for those who want red meat with a side of bells and whistles. Beyond its well-sourced and expertly aged T-bones, rib eyes, and porterhouses, the menu includes half a dozen pastas and risottos, seafood other than tired lobster tails, and possibly the best lamb ribs in town. These dishes rarely play second fiddle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">Before heading out for the night, scope the glass case at Gwen\u2019s butchershop at the restaurant\u2019s front entrance to bring home a chop or steak for later. Many of the cured meats served on the charcuterie platter can be purchased to go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">The booths running parallel to Gwen\u2019s dry-aged meat fridges are unbeatable for groups of three or more, but sidle up to the chef\u2019s counter for a party of two. Sitting side by side while watching executive chef Marcell Hatten and his team work the white-hot grill offers dinner and a show. The chef\u2019s counter can be reserved in advance on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opentable.com\/r\/gwen-los-angeles\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">OpenTable<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1 masaseh\">Brothers Curtis and Luke Stone\u2019s Michelin-starred steakhouse Gwen is just the place for those who associate red meat with celebrations. Dine amid the glass-enclosed dry-aging rooms with views of the kitchen\u2019s roaring fire pit. The house-made charcuterie is particularly of note, as well as any of the fine cuts of beef, like the 30-day-aged ribeye and New York strip. The duck-fat potatoes make for a shareable side dish.
