Founded in 1879, Gage & Tollner is one of Brooklyn’s oldest and most historically significant restaurants. Housed in a landmarked brownstone with an Italianate facade and stunning 19th-century interior features — from ornate Doric columns to rich wainscoting — the space is a journey into Brooklyn's golden age.

After a heartfelt revival in 2021, the restaurant reopened as both a nostalgic and forward-thinking venue: the original dining room preserves its chophouse charm, while the upstairs “Sunken Harbor Club” adds a tiki-inspired cocktail bar above.

Why Gage & Tollner Is Brooklyn’s Best Dinner Spot

• Refined, steakhouse-caliber cooking
  The menu reimagines classic American dishes—like prime rib, oysters, crab cakes, and legendary chops—with an elevated, modern sensibility that honors tradition.
• Award-winning restoration and experience
  Its meticulous rebuilding earned the prestigious Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award, with critics like Pete Wells of The New York Times calling the reopening “everything about this reincarnation glows."
• Dual-level atmosphere
  On the main floor, diners enjoy refined, civilized dining in a historic setting. Upstairs, the Sunken Harbor Club offers playful, late-night cocktails in a nautical, tiki-inspired lounge — giving you two distinct experiences in one venue
