Cork & Gabel, a restaurant fusion of Irish, Italian, and German cuisine, opened in 2018 in Detroit's Corktown district. We are known for our use of modern techniques on old school classics. European comfort food is a staple at Cork & Gabel. We pride ourselves on being a scratch kitchen, sourcing and using Michigan vendors including farmers and small business. Fresh is key when it comes to providing a great experience and we make everything we can fresh and in house.

    Great value, delicious food. Would be great to have a least a few printed menus on hand for seniors, and vegan options (or mention that some plates can be made vegan). Will return!

    Great food in a cool and hip ambience for a fair price. Brunch for 5, including mimosas was just over $110! Would have rated 5-stars except for the hostess who did not speak. Arrived 20 minutes early for our Open Table reservation but she made no effort to communicate with us or seat us before the reservation time.

    Our food was tasty..although the fried that came with my burger arrived cold. I ordered a Basil Hayden whiskey and tonic and they charged me TWO DOLLARS for the tonic??????? Ridiculous. I don’t believe I’ve ever been charged for tonic. Next time I’ll just get it neat. The service was not good at all. Our server was Gabriel. Dirty dishes were left on the table and twice I had to ask him to clear them. He said “we just got busy”. Well…you’re a waiter…getting busy is your dream. This place isn’t that big…I’ve been a waitress many times and you don’t tell people that they have to look at dirty dishes from apps while they eat their entrees because you’re busy. We had to ask twice for salt and pepper! We were never offered dessert. Just bad service. I do enjoy Cork and Gable and will definitely be back…will just adjust my drink order and hope we get better service

    I made a reservation for a Friday night, I was excited to try this place. There is street parking which we found a spot no problem. We were early and able to be seated so it worked out well. We had the calamari and doner kabob. Both were very good and recommended to us by our waiter. The food comes out very fast. In total from the time we sat down to payed the bill it was 40 minutes. If you’re getting an appetizer wait to order your food, everything came out within a minute of each other.
