Gage & Tollner, the landmarked oyster and chop house in Downtown Brooklyn, originally opened in 1879, and re-opened under current ownership in 2021. Since then, it has become again the “very famous restaurant in Brooklyn,” a leader in New York City’s legendary culinary scene.

Warm, professional service has been the hallmark of Gage & Tollner for 140 years. Historically, the restaurant was known for the longevity of its waitstaff, their years of service marked by the gold insignia they wore on their uniform jackets. Long after guests forgot exactly what they had to eat, they would remember the dignified but friendly hospitality of our servers.
