ABOUT US
For more than a century, Gage & Tollner was the cornerstone of the Brooklyn restaurant world. Generations of Brooklynites found comfort and community in Gage & Tollner’s magnificent landmarked dining room; generations from now, we want our children and grandchildren to find comfort here, too.
With three longtime friends and celebrated local restaurateurs at the helm—partners Sohui Kim (chef, Insa / The Good Fork), Ben Schneider (Insa / The Good Fork), and St. John Frizell (Fort Defiance)—our community-driven team is restoring Gage & Tollner to its former glory and guiding it into the 21st century. We take inspiration for our food and beverage offerings from the Gage & Tollner archives, honoring and elevating beloved longtime classics with meticulously-sourced ingredients and diligent technique.

Private events
Originally opened in the late 1970s, the two private dining rooms above Gage & Tollner are being restored to host the best celebrations in Brooklyn once again. Complete with a marble-topped brass bar, two ornamental fireplaces and all the sumptuous finishes of an authentic Victorian brownstone, the two rooms can be separated by pocket doors for smaller gatherings or combined to accommodate larger groups.
