Picnic Society By Gwen - Los Angeles

This review is for their online platform. I have not purchased from them yet due to online issues. I wanted to purchases their picnic basket that was available for home delivery. It was not specified in terms of when the delivery will happen, so I instead emailed them on their website to ask for delivery times because I wanted to get our basket the day I needed it. Fast forward today, zero response. I tried to go back to their website to order assuming it's either same day or next day delivery since the timing was perfect now. But their website is down yet still listed on Yelp. Hope they can fix their online platform soon.

My mom and sister had dinner last night at the Picnic Society by Gwen at the Grove.They said the food was fantastic, real nice outdoor seating , the service was great. But the best part that made the evening so special was the way they were taken care of and treated by the assistant manager Susie, she was so kind beyond words, she helped make the evening special, My mom loved it there too!

Absolutely delicious! It was my first time trying the desserts, and while they are a bit pricey, they are incredibly tasty! I can't wait to return before the pop-up closes.

Super delayed in writing this review and in the midst of the lockdown I am truly missing outdoor dining!! Picnic society has a gorgeous and relaxing ambiance. Located right at The Grove- highly recommend making a reservation! Service was A1 from the moment we entered. I wish I could remember our waiters name, he made my birthday lunch so awesome! He provided food drink suggestions as well. Once this all clears up I will certainly be returning!

What was once Dominique Ansel's restaurant at The Grove is now occupied by Curtis Stone's Picnic Society by Gwen. Interesting theme here even though you can't eat indoors and most of the picnic theme furnishings are indoor, a teepee picnic area upstairs and indoor picnic area. Anyways, we came here to try this place after checking out the adjacent stores. Of course dining is outdoors. Heat lamps make this place cozy and comforting. The dishes here is simple with picnic type menu. As a started, we ordered a refreshing shrimp type salad. Forgot the name. It had yellow and orange sweet peppers, poppy seeds, shrimp and honey mustard type salad dressing. Greens were nice and fresh. We enjoyed this shared salad quite a bit. I ordered the grilled branzino with a side fennel salad. Branzino was perfectly grilled on both sides. Loved the crispy skin which gives some nice texture to the flakey fish. Perfectly executed. Service here was okay, not attentive enough. Especially, since there were only two tables. I'd expect more. Overall, not bad but I'd expect more from a Curtis Stone restaurant.
