Part of Gage & Tollner Hospitality
Gage & Tollner is a landmark restaurant in Downtown Brooklyn with more than a century of history behind it and a long future ahead.
For generations, Brooklynites have gathered in our landmarked dining room to celebrate, connect, and feel at home. Today, partners Sohui Kim, Ben Schneider, and St. John Frizell carry that tradition forward with a restaurant that honors Gage & Tollner’s history while continuing to evolve.
Our food and beverage programs take inspiration from the restaurant’s archives, bringing beloved classics into the present with thoughtful sourcing, strong technique, and a deep respect for hospitality. Under the same roof, Sunken Harbor Club offers an immersive cocktail experience inspired by tropical drinking traditions, giving our team the opportunity to be part of two distinct but closely connected hospitality programs.
Just as important as the experience we create for our guests is the kind of workplace we create for one another. We want Gage & Tollner to be a place where people can build real skills, grow in their careers, do work they’re proud of, and be treated with respect. We value professionalism, curiosity, communication, accountability, and people who genuinely care about hospitality and about the teammates working alongside them.
Our team includes people with a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and paths through the industry. We believe a great restaurant is built by creating clear standards, investing in training and development, recognizing good work, and giving people opportunities to take on more as they grow.
Gage & Tollner has always been bigger than a dining room. It is part of Brooklyn’s history and community, and we take seriously the responsibility of caring for it, while making sure it remains vibrant, welcoming, and relevant for the generations still to come.
