Coeur is a New American restaurant offering a fine dining experience rooted in tradition, yet infused with a creative and light-hearted approach. Forget the formalities. Let’s express our passion through exquisitely prepared cuisine, exceptional wine, and gracious service—all within a cozy, minimalist atmosphere designed to delight.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Jordan Smith

From the OpenTable editors: Fine-dining vet Jordan Smith has plenty of fun with the menu at his French-ish Ferndale spot that the Detroit Free Press named 2024's best new restaurant. The sleek wooden interiors make it feel very upscale, but Coeur is totally unpretentious and laidback. Expect a seasonal menu of dishes like a branzino curry with trumpet mushroom and next-level desserts from pastry chef Carla Spicuzzi like a swanky take on a Choco Taco. Make the most of your visit by choosing the five-course chef's tasting.

    We all enjoyed our meal completely. Three of us shared two starters and two entrees. Mushroom beignets were lovely, sauce was incredible. Mussels were served with an herbed toast that let us enjoy every bit of the savory broth. Short rib and chicken “Coeur-Don Bleu” were both delicious. Who knew grits could taste so good (under the short rib)? Sauce Chasseur on the chicken was rich and full of flavor. Dessert (mini-Madeline’s with a stunning hazelnut sauce, hazelnuts, raspberries and a raspberry coulis) rocked the table. Our server, Sagel, was a joy-attentive without hovering, full of good suggestions.

    A bit pricey for the food and overall experience. My Ribeye was tough and the coffee was very expensive and not very good.

    Everything was delicious as usual. The scallops were a favorite and the celery for pastry dish was a surprising second favorite to the majority of the table.
