My favorite restaurant. I love food, drinks, and surprises. They have all 3. The tasting menu with the wine pairing is amazing. Not that much food for the money but worth it for the overall experience. .

Food is always great, some of the best around Metro Detroit for sure. My only annoyance is the mystery around the tasting menu. I was there yesterday and my friend for the tasting menu and I ordered from the menu. He got more plates of course, but the things I ordered- tuna tartar, cabbage and steak were all part of the tasting menu, I just got a bigger portion size. I was hoping to have a much more variety which is why we ordered that way. Everything was delicious and service was great. Just consider the mystery of the tasting menu doesn’t really make sense if every item is just a small portion of what is listed on the menu.

Mabel Gray's food is always amazing and wonderful. The service is fine and the price is right. Go as often as possible.

The food, service and drinks were all impeccable. We ordered the tasting menu and they not only knocked it put of the park, but also accommodated my gluten and dairy free preferences with minor tweaks that didn't leave me feeling wanting for anything. I ordered a cocktail off the drink menu (which was delicious), but my husband simply indicated what he likes and Max, the bartender, whipped up the most delicious drinks for him! We love Mabel gray.

I've eaten at the French Laundry in Napa, Chez Panisse in Berkeley CA, and the original Elote Cafe in Sedona AZ. Now I can say that I've eat at Mabel Gray in Hazel Park MI. The multi-course tasting menu was one of my top five meals of all time. The 90 minute experience just flew by; I think I had withdrawals when it was over because I just didn't want it to end. We will definitely make a reservation each time we come to town.

Best dinner I've ever had. Atmosphere is incredible and service is top notch. We were blown away by the knowledge the staff had about every drink and dish.

Great food, great service. You do however pay for the pleasure. The atmosphere is intimate, and the rotating/seasonal menu is always great.

Been to a few Michelin star places and Mabel Gray has always been on par with them or better, especially for the price. I somehow forget how good the food is until I get there and am always pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend the tasting and wine pairing.

Hands down one of the most satisfying food experiences I’ve ever had in my 40 years of life. Definitely will come back.Vegetarian options: There were definitely some vegetarian items.Dietary restrictions: They asked about restrictions and allergies. Very through.Kid-friendliness: Do not recommend for children.Wheelchair accessibility: Small dining areas but they should be able to accommodate.

Amazing food, best culinary experience of my life. Service was just as good. Even the other customers at the bar were top notch!

Absolutely unreal from the minute we walked in and until the very end. It's been my opinion that not everyone wants to invest in an official Michelin star, but let me clarify, their service, food, & ambiance perform as if they have three stars. Now let's dig in to the yummiest part - every bite of food! Dined here with three others on a Saturday night. We were able to snag an 8:30 reservation the night before which worked out perfectly. Parking is easy with a lot next to their building and plenty of space on the streets (where we had to park). Natalie was our server and she was exceptional! The entire staff gives off a family energy and they very clearly work hard as a team. With an open view to the kitchen, you can tell the communication is clear and everyone seemed happy (of course this view is surface level only). Three of us ordered the tasting menu and my husband ordered the Cast Iron King Crab Legs as his entree. The tasting menu comes with eight courses, with one being a bite sized palate cleanser. Am I bummed that it's counted towards the courses, yes. Do I wish I could order a tub of it and eat it nightly, also hell yes. Even with the other seven courses, it was still well worth the $89. We also added the Gem Salad, Nonnas Meatballs, and extra oysters for the table. The only food I didn't take a picture of was the salad and palate cleanser. Baby Gem Salad $16 - absolutely unreal. Probably my favorite dish because of the tart and nutty flavors and being doused in sherry dijon vinaigrette. I'm determined to remake it since I live so far away and believe an addiction has been created. It's huge and plenty for a party of four - or just yourself if you're anything like me. King Crab Legs $100 was a very healthy portion as well. Loved the hush puppies with a slight kick, soft center, and perfectly crunchy exterior. Easy to "peel" and eat so leave the bib at home. Nonna's Meatballs $7 per meatball. Loved the Sunday sauce and it was a hearty meatball with a kick - just the way I like 'em. TASTING MENU $89 3/9/24 - Radish carpaccio was delicious and so very flavorful. - Chicken and duck liver mousse toast was everyone's top choice and my second (because I loved the salad so much). But you can eff me right up with a pate that has such a creamy and smooth finish like theirs. SO DAMN GOOD. - Seafood dumplings came with two and a beautiful light broth with the ever slightest kick from jalapeño. They also had a sweet corn that knocked my socks off. The sweet & spicy was the perfect compliment and the dumplings were fluffy and filled with flavor. - Palate cleanser was a ginger blackberry sorbet I believe. I couldn't help but take it in one bite haha. So refreshingly delicious. Wonder if they'll start selling by the pint... - Braised short rib and polenta was very comforting. With short rib almost falling apart. Just so tender and juicy. It complemented the perfectly cooked brussel sprouts that were an added surprise. - Octopus kebab was probably my least favorite but still very good. I found it to be way too tough to chew and that you really had to chew it. Loved the tzatziki it was paired with and was sure to add veggies and mint to every bite. - Raw and baked oysters were also served as a course and we wish we ordered a dozen more! The group was hesitant about baked oysters over raw but they turned out to be the favorite overall. - Olive oil cake and lemon finished off the tasting perfectly. It was light and refreshing with every flavor standing out. My husband who's not a fan of lemon even loved it. Natalie was also so kind to treat us to the dark chocolate cheesecake after such a special dinner together and even though we were well over the edge, we indulged and there was not one regret! Definitely order this if you're not as gluttonous as we are and only want one dessert.

Best dining experience in Detroit. Must do the tasting menu and Wagyu, I am literally unable to describe the ecstasy of this meal. I dare say this is the best meal I’ve ever had….
