“the bar is gorgeous and the staff are nice but the food was... unimaginative, over-salted, greasy and overpriced.”

replying to u/im_coolest: it's okay but overpriced and the food isn't exceptional other than the bread.
“The clams I had at G&T were so sandy. Great martini, great atmosphere, but for the same price you can get MUCH better food.”

in:What are some restaurants where the menu is mid at best but the desserts are god-tier? 7 pts
replying to u/SlateFrost: Gage and Tollner, food is good, but the desserts punch above their weight class.
“Gage and Tollners menu is decent, apart from their meats surprisingly. The sides are usually well executed, the seafood is probably the best in any NYC Steakhouse”

“For what I paid, I thought Gage and Tollner was extremely underwhelming. The service was great but the food was generally under-seasoned, and the steak was so overcooked that we had to send it back to the kitchen.”

“I’ve enjoyed everything but the steak there. I’ve eaten there 2x and the steaks had a distinct gas taste to them.”

replying to u/LittleFigure4030: Not sure if we were there on an off night or what but, personally, had a horrible experience at G&T (this would've been about 6 months ago). The only positive were the rolls/bread, which were very good. Otherwise, the steak was way overcooked (and this is coming from someone who typically enjoys a steak leaning more towards well done) and the Caesar salad was extremely salty to the point we couldn't finish it. My dining partner and I described the meal as taking classic dishes and randomly changing things up about them unnecessarily to just make them worse. Was a really strange meal.
“Our first G&T experience was 10/10, but December’s was only a 5.”

in:Steakhouse like Astoria’s “Meet the Meat” but in Brooklyn?3 pts
replying to u/trward: Not familiar with Meet the Meat but Gage & Tollner is my favorite Brooklyn steakhouse. Large beautiful space, so not cramped, and good for celebrations. 3 people can easily split a baked Alaska for dessert…
“G&T is hit and miss. Gorgeous atmosphere but the steaks are over priced compared to other locations. I think the non steak items shine more at times- like the she crab soup!”

“I found the steak just okay, and was actually more impressed with their dessert offerings.”

“Went there 2 months ago, totally underwhelming. Very small portions, most of the food came out lukewarm and didn’t taste fresh, like it was sitting under a heat lamp.”
