The atmosphere was wonderful not too loud and had a calm ambience. The food was phenomenal and the value was worth it. Our waiter could’ve been a little bit more friendly, but he got the job done.

A great dining experience at Cork and Gabel. We sat at the bar for dinner and we’re taken care of from start to finish. The bartending team took turns checking on us and were very attentive. The place was rather busy for a Wednesday evening at 5:30-6:00. Food came out quickly after we ordered and drinks were always checked on as we ate at the bar. Another good experience at Cork and Gabel!

My wife and I enjoyed the pretzel appetizer, mushroom ravioli, and fish and chips. Everything was excellent. If you enjoy fish and chips, you should try their version, it was absolutely the best that I have ever had!

Our waiter was less than attentive and didn’t seem to care. Fish and chips were great! But the chicken Marsala was almost inedible. No flavor at all with watery gravy.

Our apps were the Dubliner Irish Cheddar and the fried calamari; and for dinner my husband had the salmon special and I had the grilled shrimp with lobster ravioli. We shared the Irish Waffle Bomb for dessert, which was plenty for two people. My husband also ordered a Muggsy Manhattan and a Guinness. Atmosphere and staff were great.

This was our first time and we enjoyed it tremendously! Great ambience and the energy is so positive. Our waitress was Christina and she could not have been any better. Huge menu, great selection and prices are very reasonable. Everyone in our party was saying how great their meal was. We were there for brunch and will definitely be going back for dinner.

Love Cork & Gabel. It is a go to, and one of the places we always recommend. Good food, good value, fun place to be. Particularly enjoy John the bartender. He is engaging, friendly, and will ensure you get whatever style beverage you'd like - even if he has to create it for you.

Our meal at Cork and Gabel was delightful. We sat outside on a perfect night. Our waitress was attentive but never pushy. She made suggestions if asked and had solutions for our guest who was gluten free. Dinner was delicious. They have a varied menu and vast drink menu. And as the menu says, "save room for dessert!" The atmosphere of the restaurant is very unique and they have carried it throughout including bathrooms and patio. Such a fun place. We will definitely be back!
