I’m a BIG fan of the Corktown Area in Detroit. This was my first time at Cork & Gabel and I’m mad that I waited this long. Scanning over what they were serving I loved how the menu was a play on food with and Irish/German edge (was fitting for the area). I loved the Benny and Omelette section as I’m a savory girl myself.
We walked in and it was going to be a 45 minute wait BECAUSE it’s popular. We sat at the bar right away instead of a table and had great service and a few laughs with the bartenders. Will definitely be back for brunch and would love to swing by for dinner someday to check it out.
A bit pricey but wonderful food and service. Save the eating for a nice night out, a date night maybe. The drinks are priced normally, cocktails were 11+ and a tall Guinness was $7, well poured. This is definitely a photo worthy venue that knows what it is about...even though my photos aren't the best! I'll be back.
A very unique and cool looking place. Our waiter was great. Watching the staff throughout and all energetic and appeared to be enjoying what they do. The arrived fast and the order was accurate but flavor was just average. Presentation was there but our party of 7 all felt it was not the exciting flavors we had hoped for. It won’t stop us from returning if we are in the area but probably won’t be making a special trip.
Was looking for a unique place with my husband's taste for his 40th birthday, and man did Cork and Gabel deliver. Our party of 12 was absolutely blown away by the atmosphere, appetizers, entrees and overall ambiance. This place moves fast without sacrificing style or flavor. They made his night an awesome one and I couldn't be more thankful and cannot wait to come back!
First time... Great place. Bigger than I thought. Easy parking. Food was DELICIOUS!
The German Doner (gyero) was fantastic. Lots of non-meat meals too. Good craft cocktail drinks ... Bartender will make what you want. Definitely coming again.
First time here! The best part was the Irish coffee! AWESOME BARTENDER! I would come weekly just for that.. lol the service by Stephanie was good as well (that's why the Fourth STAR), our table love condiments and because they are stingy with EVERYTHING! Syrup, ketchup, jelly etc etc so we had her running!! All in All breakfast was tasty. Plus Clean environment, I say give em' a try for sure!!
Finally was able to stop in cool place food was good, drinks were good and our server was awesome! I had the Cajun Alfredo it was good would get something different next time. My husband had a burger and loved it
