   This was our first visit to Cork and Gabel, and we enjoyed it. Perhaps the best part was the service. Alex was our server, and he was great! He took a little time to give us some history about the building and then he explained the menu letting us also know what his favorites were. We then enjoyed the quick fried calamari for our appetizer. It was lightly fried and the Arrabiata sauce was very nice. For our main courses I had the Kielbasa and Kraut, and my partner had the fish and chips. Both were tasty and very ample portions as we both went home with doggie bags. For dessert, Alex recommended the Mayflower, and it was heavenly. The only negative thing I have to say about our experience at Cork and Gabel is they should take some time to clean the fabric cushions that were full of stains.

   Beautiful old building is worth the trip, particularly right next to Michigan Central which is lit up festively for the season, but the food was great too - we got fried cheese, pretzel and dip, and tri-dip apps and it was before 6 so we got happy hour prices. All of them were excellent. Entrees included fish n chips, salads, and pasta and we all joined the clean plate club with them. Would definitely recommend if visiting the train station or Senate Theater.

   From first arriving and being greeted to our fabulous waitress it set the right tone. Five ladies celebrating the holidays so they were patient with us. They brought out a couple cinnamon rolls, I can see why they are a fan favorite and we each ordered a drink, my classic Bloody Mary was perfect garnished with all the fixings. We each got something different and sampled and there was not a bad meal in the order. I had the chorizo ranchero bowl, biscuits and gravy, chicken wings, chicken and waffle, corned beef and hash, and the schnitzel open face, each item was excellent in its own right, and made to perfection. We all said we will be back as this place is a hidden gem!!

   Phenomenal food and service. We were sitting in the glass room that had an overhead heater….we were definitely overheated! They were understanding and worked with us by turning in the overhead fans while keeping the rest of the room comfortable as well. By the way, the best German potato salad I have ever had!!

   We enjoyed every single bite of our unique and creative food. Service was excellent. You can’t beat the historical building with a view of Michigan Central! It was a treat to be here. Speaking of treats, try the Irish Waffle Bomb for dessert.❤️
