The food is always very good. I think there was an issue with staffing this morning though, as the vibe was very chaotic. I understand this can happen though and don't penalize people for things out of their control. We had a very tasty breakfast; the only thing I might suggest is having salt and pepper on the tables; i'm an old and i love my salt and didn't want to bother anyone.

What a great vibe to start with. The food was fresh and delicious. I recommend their specials. The medallion steak with a ribbon pasta. Cleaned my plate. That is rare. I also had a cocktail “The Bluecoats are Coming “ very tasty and refreshing. The Caesar salad was delicious. I really can’t wait to go back. We got there on a Friday afternoon around 4:0-5 and the bar was full but plenty of tables. When we left 7:30 the place was filling up. The patio is fantastic. We will be sitting outside next time

We came on a Saturday and the only menu was the brunch menu. My wife had a burger which she liked the quality of the beef but sent the fries back because they were not hot. I had the chopped Italian salad which was good. Our friend had a western omelette that came with toast potatoes and jam and he enjoyed that. We also had the cinnamon roll which is enough for three people and it was delicious. The atmosphere is a cool pub in an old roller skating rink. Fun

Our server, Gabriel (?), was outstanding. Was present and attentive when we needed him. Brunch was fantastic and priced right, as always. Another great experience that we've come to expect from Cork and Gabel!

Took good friends here Friday night for dinner and drinks. Was disappointed with service.
Arrived a few minutes before happy hour ended. New waiter was struggling with taking drink orders, totally get it being a new hire, we were patient with him.
We placed the order and asked if it would qualify for happy hour discount, he came back to the table and said no.
5 minutes passed, waiter came back with another round of drinks for us, we asked the question if we had to pay and he said yes. He said when he placed our order he mistakenly ordered us each 2 drinks
We had assumed they were on the house, and that the mgr did a good will service for us.
The waiter ended up taking the drinks back to the bar, where they sat for a few minutes and ultimately were poured out.
Bottom line, it’s about customer service, having a great experience, and taking care of that customer.
We paid for our round, left the restaurant and went elsewhere for dinner.

Brooke was wonderful, great food, and special ambience! Looking forward to our next visit!!

Penny

We went for brunch and everything was good. Portions were large so easy to split a meal. The bloody mary's were huge!

Jeanne

Our food was good and timely served. Our margaritas were sparse, disappointing considering the cost.

I enjoyed the location and ambience very much. I wish I had known there was as parking adjacent to the restaurant but there was plenty of street parking available The portions were huge so if you are a light eater think about sharing with others at the table so food isn't wasted. The staff was attentive and friendly. I recommend.

Not sure if I've had better rigatoni with palomino meat sauce than this. My wife had a schnitzel BLT which was excellent and you can't be the tasty $10 old fashioned for happy hour. The only negative was our table was a bit sticky (they wiped it right away) as was the floor.

My family and I visited Cork & Gabel on Saturday after my niece's graduation. Lovely atmosphere and staff! The food was demand the vibes were just overall great. If you see the Forbidden Fruit OPP (hard) cider, do give it a try...DELICIOUS! Dan was working with us and he did a phenomenal job. Dan if you are reading this, thank you for everything and my sister with the cowboy hat couldn't stop raving about the experience.
