Gage & Tollner is a historic oyster and chop house in Brooklyn, established in 1879. It was closed in 2004 and reopened in 2021, aiming to blend its timeless traditions with a 21st-century approach. The restaurant is known for its stunning, old-world ambiance and its location in a historically significant building.
Customers consistently praise the restaurant's beautiful, historic ambiance, describing it as an "old piece of NYC saved from the past." The service is often noted as "old school polite, quick, and efficient." Many highlight the excellent cocktail program and specific dishes like the hash brown side, oysters, shrimp cocktail, and crab soup. However, one review mentioned a disappointing experience with a very tough and chewy ribeye steak, suggesting a focus on appetizers, pasta, or cocktails might be preferable.
The building housing Gage & Tollner has protected historic status, ensuring its preservation for future generations. The restaurant offers a unique experience that feels like stepping back in time to its opening year of 1879.
Reservations are recommended, as there can be a line upon arrival. The restaurant serves dinner on weekdays and lunch and dinner on weekends.
