What people say, in short
Gwen is repeatedly recommended for steak. One diner praises both the ribeye and New York strip, while others specifically recommend the ribeye. Commenters suggest the kitchen counter, and another singles out the cocktails. The enthusiasm is not unanimous: diners report underwhelming steaks, uneven visits and prices that feel high, and a repeat visitor says quality declined across their visits.
