During the day, this enticingly arranged butcher shop sells humanely raised meats from local partner farms. By night, Gwen opens into a glowing dining room showcasing the same upscale cuts à la carte and on its multi-course tasting. Named for their beloved grandmother, this collaboration between Chef Curtis Stone and his brother, Luke, conjures art deco glamour by way of crystal chandeliers and a roaring fireplace.

The kitchen yields Chef Stone’s own red-blooded show of culinary skill, with such decadent mains as fire-roasted pork or grilled boneless short rib. Non-meat eaters can take heart in a lovely ocean trout or saffron cavatelli with a hint of shaved bottarga. For dessert, the pavlova offers a fantastic nod to the chef’s Australian heritage.
