Gwen

Gwen is a high-end restaurant and European-style butcher shop located in Hollywood, Los Angeles, founded by celebrity chef Curtis Stone and his brother Luke Stone. The establishment combines a whole-animal butcher program with a refined dining experience, featuring tasting menus, à la carte options, and an emphasis on wood-fired cooking and premium cuts of meat. The space is known for its dramatic open-fire kitchen, extensive wine list, and seasonal, ingredient-driven dishes.

A charge from “TST*GWEN LA” or “GWEN LA” on your card is typically associated with a meal at Gwen, purchases from their butcher shop, a bar tab, a pre-paid reservation or tasting menu, or a private dining/event charge. The “TST*” prefix indicates the Toast point-of-sale system, which processes their in-restaurant payments. You might see variations in the amount due to gratuity, shared checks, special event menus, or same-day adjustments (such as adding wine pairings or supplements).

If you have questions about a Gwen charge, start by checking your email for a reservation confirmation or receipt from Gwen or Toast, as many receipts are sent digitally. Compare the date and amount of the charge with the date you dined or picked up butcher items. To resolve discrepancies, contact Gwen directly via phone or the contact form on their website, providing the last four digits of your card, the transaction date, and the amount. They can re-send itemized receipts, correct overcharges, and address issues such as double charges, tip errors, or no-show/late-cancellation fees tied to reservations.
