125-year-old Brooklyn institution Gage & Tollner, at 372 Fulton Street, in downtown Brooklyn, has an official re-opening date: Sunday, March 15, according to Grub Street. Red Hook restaurateur St. John Frizell, along with husband-and-wife team Ben Schneider and Sohui Kim of Good Fork and Insa fame, will be stewarding the famous, historic steakhouse into 2020 with a menu of classic favorites: steak and scalloped potatoes, pork potpie, clams casino with a dab of kimchee, Edna Lewis’s she-crab soup, and plenty of pillowy Parker House rolls. Once open, the restaurant’s operating hours will be 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. daily.
To get this new iteration of the classic Brooklyn restaurant off the ground, hundreds of small investors banded together in a successful crowdfunding campaign to raise $477,000 to support the three restaurateurs in breathing life back into Gage & Tollner. Investors include Elizabeth Warren’s chief strategist and his wife, children’s book author Tad Hills, and actor Michael Shannon, Grub Street reports.
