5 Points Food & Drink

Very good food. Third best tomato soup I ever had. Exceptional service. Everything is local and made in an old world style kitchen. Very cool atmosphere and experience. I thought it was a bit pricey, but I also assume we were paying for the experience as well. Some of the dishes were a bit too creative in my opinion (and I love to try new things), thus, didnt live up to the hype and expectations I had for each dish. That said, the wine pairings were spectacular and the food was delicious.

THE BEST MEAL I’ve had in years! The 7 course tasting with wine pairing was wonderful. This is the real deal, all food locally sourced, including the proteins. Crisp, harmonious light and exciting, the flavors all work together. Service was excellent.

No words will do this place justice. I am not even quite sure how to describe our experience.. but in my best words, this place is for sure one of a kind in the MOST beautiful way. Came here on a whim for my birthday and was kindly greeted by Trina who took such great care of us. My husband and I loved the atmosphere and how they let us peek into the kitchen to see our food being prepared! We did the 5 course meal with the wine pairing and it was such an incredible experience that I have never had before.. The food was so flavorful and of course gorgeous! Portions can come off small, but don’t let that fool you.. I was so surprisingly satisfied and full by the end. You can really taste the pureness and freshness of every ingredient used. I just felt like I was in a dream the whole time. We will for sure be back. Restaurant Gwendolyn is a place to remember forever.

This wasn’t just a dinner. It was an experience! If you are a foodie and love great food and a relaxing, wonderful setting, Restaurant Gwendolyn is definitely for you! My wife and I did their 5 course tasting menu and every single crumb was delicious! The stuffed Quail was so good!! Even their table bread was from a 200 year old recipe and melted in your mouth! This is a great place!

The food is unbelievably delicious. Especially taking into consideration it is all industrial (no mixers, blenders, etc). We were delightfully surprised by every dish. The tasting menu changes frequently--so we will be back! The wine pairing was well worth it!

We have been to Gwendolyn a few times now and everything is incredible, every single time. My wife and I enjoy the five course with wine pairing and, for us, coming here is a visceral feeling that goes beyond just eating food. We enjoy making opposite courses from the five course so we can taste each other's food with the wine selection. I would encourage anyone to that comes here to try something you would not normally choose on a menu, I am always surprised by what I like when it is prepared by genius.

My wife and I spotted this cozy restaurant from the River Walk. It has a beautiful balcony looking over the river. Nearby downtown. The wait staff and servers were incredible, we each had the 7 courses along with wine pairing. Our napkins were refolded and replaced each time one of us left the table. The kitchen is pre-industrial which means no kitchen equipment uses any electricity. All ingredients are fresh and local within 100 miles. The menu is different daily consisting of what ingredients are available. The food seemed to favor the French flavor and had exquisite taste.

Exquisite food with creative display. Great combination of textures and flavors. Quaint place with comfortable atmosphere. I appreciate their food philosophy and it adds to the experience. Reasonable pricing for chef's tasting. Wine only. Would have liked some scotch. Will return and is highly recommended.
