Gage & Tollner Restaurant

For more than a century, Gage & Tollner was the cornerstone of the Brooklyn restaurant world.

Eric Safyan Architect PC had the privilege to be part of this team of architects designers, craftspeople, and restaurateurs, that restored this NYC interior landmark back to its former glory… and beyond!The renovation also entailed the exterior restoration of the landmarked facade and blade signage, complete reconstruction of the kitchen facilities, restoration of the 2nd floor private dining rooms and ‘Dolphin Bar, as well as the construction of a hidden tikki bar – ‘The Sunken Harbor Club.’Gage & Tollner was a recipient of the 2022 Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award, New York Landmarks Conservancy’s highest honors for excellence in preservation.
