“Overall it was a solid B.”

“the bar is gorgeous and the staff are nice but the food was... unimaginative, over-salted, greasy and overpriced.”
H3
“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.”
H3
“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”
H3
“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.”
H3
“I’ve enjoyed everything but the steak there. I’ve eaten there 2x and the steaks had a distinct gas taste to them.”
H3
“Our first G&T experience was 10/10, but December’s was only a 5.”
H3
“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!”
H3
“I found the steak just okay, and was actually more impressed with their dessert offerings.”
H3
“She-crab soup was killer.”
H3
“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.”
H3
“G+T is great but not so great for "$100-$125 pp" - getting out of G+T for that price is not impossible but would require not trying the "fun" stuff, kind of skimping, in a way that I'm not sure you would want to do for a special occasion.”
H3
“One of the single most disappointing meals I’ve had in NYC and left feeling like I got scammed.”
H3
“I liked the food a lot.”
H3
“The steaks are decent, but not top-tier. The real draw is the atmosphere—pure Gilded Age New York steakhouse charm. All the sides are excellent, but the Baked Alaska is truly a showstopper.”
H3
“It's now my favorite "special occasion" place and my wife and I even ate there on our wedding day!”
H3
“Did not like cage and tollner. Service was odd. Food was bland. I got the medium rare strip and it came too cooked. The steak tartare had no flavor.”
H3
“It’s been said but GET THE DESSERT. Pretty sure they make everything in house including the ice cream, it’s all incredible. This past summer I had a kumquat/coconut cake that I still think about from time to time because it was sooooo divine”
H3
“Our group had the fried chicken and it was awful; it was pretty much inedible. The side dishes are equally awful.”
H3
“the rolls were oily and flavor wise tasted like the milk bread you can get at any Asian bakery for cheap, charging $12 for 4 is just robbery. the steak was fine, but not unlike anything I've made at home.”
H3
“I had a great meal at gage and tollner recently. The space is beautiful and the attention to detail by service team was spot on. It’s classic/old school feel and perfect for a date night”
H3
“I went there last light and was totally disappointed with the experience.”
H3
“Felt way overpriced. I think there is just a natural cap on how great a steakhouse can be. It’s a good one.”
H3
“The best thing I ate was the creamed spinach. The steak was tough and had too much gristle to be acceptable at the price I paid.”
H3
“The steak was surprisingly awful. And an inedible dessert. Throw in poor acoustics and yes, not great.”
H3
“I love Gage & Tollner, (it looks like it’s from 1890 because it is) and the bar upstairs has an insanely ornate shipwreck theme. Super fun to start or end the night there”
H3
“steak was expensive but just ok. baked rolls were oily and for a quarter of the price you can get the same tasting milk bread at any Chinatown bakery.”
H3
“They still make her fried chicken, and it is good. It’s a lively and lovely dining room, and though I don’t love it for steak, fried chicken, sides, and their awesome desserts might be a good solution if you don’t want to go to Manhattan and want something fancy.”

“had an absolutely perfect meal at Gage and Tollner for my 30th birthday - dirty gin martini, Parker house rolls, clams casino, New York strip (i think?), an amazing layer potato situation, spinach, baked Alaska”

“Their dining room is genuinely beautiful, and you won’t have to deal with the fussy service you’ll get at Peter Lugers either. I think you’ll enjoy your time there.”
