We had the sausage, Langos, and Brussels sprouts for appetizers; the sea bass for the main entree; and several deserts (our favorite was the blueberry pastry type one). The service was very great and our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu. Probably the most surprisingly delicious thing I had was the Hugo spritz, I will literally go back for that one! I loved the atmosphere of the front part of the restaurant; however the back of the restaurant I felt was kinda lacking and I wish the put my group in the front part, especially since I made the reservation over a month ahead of time. My one complaint is that the prices were quite high - I have been to many foodie Detroit restaurants and am aware when I go to these restaurants that I will be spending a pretty penny. I felt for its location and the value of the food, I felt it was a little overpriced. I felt the appetizers were the best price for amount of food, but the entree and desert prices were hard to justify in my eyes. The next time I go back, I'll probably just get a bar seating and order the spritz with rigatoni and call it a day.

The sandwich originated in Chicago, so I like that Matt & Mo's has a replica of Wrigley Field's ivy wall. On the flip side, I didn't like being charged a 4% fee for paying with a card. My wife ordered a pepperoni pizza puff along with French fries. The pizza puff fell apart too easily, and was basically a larger version of a Totino's pizza roll. The fries were standard. With my sandwich, I ordered poutine. The consistency and flavor of the gravy made the poutine much better than average. As for the Italian beef, it did not disappoint. I regret getting just sweet peppers, as I should have gotten either hot or mild peppers with the sweet. I did get the whole sandwich dipped in au jus, which was the right move. This was my first time having an Italian beef, so it's hard to judge, but I definitely enjoyed it. Next time, I will bring cash to pay, and might even try some of the other menu items. I look forward to trying Doug's Delight, as well.

Skip to paragraph 5 if you only care about the food…read more I've been fortunate to eat at two different Michelin Starred restaurants. I have no doubt in my mind that Mabel Gray is 100% deserving of receiving one and having one next year. What a fantastic experience. Cool interior with the room on the right hosting the kitchen, seating bar, and some tables while the room on the left was dining only plus a non-seating bar. Table space was ample; a welcome change after dining in NYC at a restaurant where the table was barely big enough for the food. The menu changes every 2-3 weeks (recent trend has been 3 weeks) minus the oysters and steak frites which are always on it. My entire group opted for the tasting menu and I also did the beverage pairing. They do not tell you what is on the menu which I appreciated. What ensued was 7.5 courses, 6 different drinks, many silverware changes, and 4 extremely pleased individuals. I 100% recommend the tasting menu. Let Chef be in charge of your meal. Before getting into the courses, I want to highlight how attentive and special the service was. Our waitress was phenomenal. Extremely personable and even more knowledgable. She was detailing each of my wines and I was just nodding along trying to keep up lol. Empty plates sat for a minute tops (was more like 30 seconds) and she gave us all the attention without being hovery. Other serves came at various points as well to serve or clear dishes and they were all fine, but our main waitress was excellent. For that alone, this is worthy of a michelin star. Truly, service is half the battle and she nailed it. Now, onto the food. The tasting menu is $92 and features 7-8 courses. I'm calling it 7.5 (you'll understand why). 6 of the courses appeared on the menu. 1.5 of them were off menu and 3 of them were different than what it was earlier in the cycle of the menu (had friends go and a few of their courses were different than ours). I appreciate that a lot. Course 1 was oysters two ways; raw with a green garlic mignotte and baked with a miso chile butter and topped with panko. Fantastic. Before this, I would not call myself an oyster guy. After this, I want all the oysters. The panko one was so good that we ordered more. 10/10 The first beverage was a 100% pinot grape champagne. Very good. Course 2 was the egg salad on grilled crispellis sourdough toast. Again, maybe I'm an egg salad guy now because this was delicious. Crispellis sourdough is goated. This seems like a simple dish, but it was executed perfectly and tastes better than it sounds. 9/10 The beverage was a chenin blanc. Very good. Course 3 was ham bone soup with beans and ricotta. We were informed this was the only day the soup was being featured which I thought was cool. Very good soup. Again, tastes better than it sounds. 9/10. The third wine was an orange pinot grigio which I thought was great. Course 4 was a scallop and capacola (gabagool) spiedini (skewer). Picture bacon wrapped shrimp. Think about how good that tastes. And then 10x that and this is the result. What a dish. So good we ordered another. Everything about this worked. The garlic sauce. The raisins. Yes, raisins. Wow. What a dish. 2nd favorite of the night. 10/10. I didn't quite catch the wine for this but it was a cherry sorla??? It was good; not my favorite. Course 5 was a lamb neck quesadilla. I'm a little torn on this one. Unfortunately, the amount of meat in this was somewhat lacking. The several bites I had with meat were a 10/10. Think a barbacoa type of meat. Perfectly rich and tender. The rest of the bites were still good, but the lack of meat made it more like an 8.5/10. Greatest what if of the night. The wine was a baja blend (red) from Mexico. This was tart, but worked quite well with the dish. Course 5.5 was sorbet. A raspberry sorbet palette cleanse before the final non dessert dish. Actually very good flavor. No rating but I like it. Course 6.5 was Texas quail with a Waygu dumpling over coconut curry. Wow. This was amazing. This was the only item not on the menu. My first time having quail did not disappoint. Crispy. Salty. Perfectly cooked. The quail was on another level. The dumpling was very good as well. Not as good as the quail but nothing would have been. The curry rocked. Not spicy; great flavor. Excellent dish. 11/10. The wine was a rose champagne which I enjoyed probably the most of all the wines. A Michelin star course. Course 7.5 was a cornmeal cake with some whipped cream and strawberries as well as some crushed nuts. On its own, the cake was fine. Combined with everything, it was excellent and a great end to a wonderful dinner. 9/10. The final drink was a strawberry vermouth which complimented the cake very well. Mabel Gray is worth all the praise it consistently receives. Thank you for a fantastic evening.

From the incredible food (favorites this past time were the cooked oysters, mustard chicken cutlet, and key lime pie), to the attentive service, to the great cocktail list, to the amazing sommelier (Paulina) and my favorite Champagne list in Michigan, to the relaxed vibe despite all of the above, this place is truly something special. Truly a must-visit for any foodies and wine aficionados living in or visiting the area.

From the second we walked in, the bartender greeted us like we were regulars, and that alone sold us on sitting at the bar. Best decision. We're bar sitters through and through, and between the bartender, a friendly regular who scooted over for us, and literally every person we interacted with, the vibe was unmatched. I worked in the service industry in a former life, so I know how rare it is to find a place where everyone is friendly. There's usually at least one Debbie Downer. Not here. No rushing, great recommendations, and zero feeling like you're "that couple" taking up bar space. Drinks and beer selection were solid, but let's talk food because ambiance and service are only half the equation. We started with the coney dog egg rolls and... wow. Epic. Unique. Immediately set the bar high. Then we ordered the fish and chips and the short rib sandwich. The fish was perfectly breaded, the remoulade was on point, and those skinny fries were dangerous. But the star of the show? The short rib sandwich. Holy shit. I don't normally eat onions or horseradish, but somehow this sandwich converted me. The caramelized onions weren't overpowering, the sauce wasn't spicy, and everything just worked. We literally woke up the next morning talking about how we need it again. The bartender filled us in on happy hour and all the food options, and we're already planning our return. Total hidden gem on Woodward. Highly recommend. Thanks for a great Saturday night!

This is an order at the counter spot, so you grab a menu, place your order up front, and they give you a buzzer when your food is ready. I ordered a drink and the chicken Caesar wrap, which came out to $21. The chicken was grilled really nicely and had a lot of flavor. The wrap also comes with a jalapeño Caesar dressing, which initially threw me off since I am not a spicy person, but it ended up being delicious and not spicy at all. I stayed until about 5:30 and more families started coming in and there were quite a few kids around. There is a small playpen area for kids that is not padded, and watching a two year old climb around with no adult looked like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Overall, I had a good experience. The food was solid, the vibe was nice, and I would definitely come back again.

Most of the sandwich was left on the plate because it was simply inedible.

The second time, we politely explained that we didn't like it. We aren't the type of people who enjoy confrontation or making a scene, especially in a busy bar, but with most of the sandwich still sitting there, you would think someone would have dug a little deeper into the issue or tried to make it right. The only saving grace was the steak bites and zip sauce, which were absolutely amazing. At least those were good enough that we didn't starve.
