About Cork & Gabel

Cork & Gabel is a welcoming restaurant with an industrial feel inside. The bartenders take their craft seriously, serving delicious drinks. The chefs pride themselves on putting out beautiful and tasty food, like the Schnitzel Open Faced and Chicken and Waffles for brunch. The variety of mimosas and delicious food makes it a great dining experience, with reasonable prices for the quality and quantity offered. Customers praise the attentive and friendly service, as well as the excellent food preparation. The restaurant's location near the Michigan Central Station also makes it a convenient choice.

The food is consistently very good, with fresh and delicious options. Customers have enjoyed the specials, such as the medallion steak with a ribbon pasta, as well as the Caesar salad and cocktails like "The Bluecoats are Coming." The atmosphere is described as having a great vibe, with a cool pub-like setting in an old roller skating rink. The patio is a popular feature, providing excellent views of the train station and the beautifully landscaped Roosevelt park. While there have been some staffing issues leading to a chaotic vibe on occasion, the restaurant is known for its excellent service and food preparation. The staff is accommodating, making it a welcoming place for all guests, including those with food allergies.
