Gage & Tollner
Restaurants
Downtown Brooklyn
What is it? Long the stuff of legend, Gage and Tollner had a previous iteration as one of Brooklyn’s most glittering restaurants before its gilded space ceased operation in 2004 after more than a century. A trio of Brooklyn hospitality pros got to work reviving it a baker’s dozen years later and, after a pause in 2020, Gage and Tollner is finally open for business once more.
Why we love it? Gage and Tollner’s previous projected opening date of March 15, 2020 was plenty buzzy back then, and the wait only further tickled anticipation. The space is as lovely as we thought it would be, with hearty, decadent menu offerings repete with occasional throwbacks. Bar seats are reserved for walk-ins, which makes getting in a tick easier. Check out Sunken Harbor Club upstairs, too, if you get the chance.
