"This Downtown Brooklyn steakhouse is one of NYC’s first, and yet it’s also a relative newcomer—it's current incarnation was reborn in 2021. The 19th-century Gage & Tollner closed in 2004, after which the beautiful landmarked building enjoyed a rumspringa as a TGI Friday’s and an Arby’s. Appropriately, our favorite dish here these days is a throwback: thebaked alaska." - Team Infatuation
"How Far In Advance Should You Book? Two weeks, or two hours if you don’t mind eating at 9pm. Congrats to Gage & Tollner. Since the historic Downtown Brooklyn steakhouse reopened under new management in 2021, tables have been in high demand. The good news for people who possess the strength to plan ahead: Reservations are now plentiful two weeks in advance. Come here if you’re looking for a fun, classic steakhouse with a few twists, like clams with bacon-kimchi butter." - bryan kim

"Gage and Tollner’s dining room is a perfect place for brunch, with its 19th century-vibe and its brass, woodwork, and marble decor. With brunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the restaurant offers starters like hen-of-the-woods mushroom soup, wedge salad, and oysters Rockefeller; a Dutch baby, eggs Florentine, biscuits and gravy, and fried chicken. There’s an array of pastries to choose from as well as brunch cocktails from a sherry cobbler to the bloody mary." - Melissa McCart

"A downtown Brooklyn restaurant with theatrical, classic‑style desserts — recommendations include a rich Brooklyn Blackout cake served with coffee amaro sauce and an impressive Baked Alaska designed to share." - Regan Stephens
