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.

  • Mongers' Collaboration Night

    9 Mar 2025 only
    At Coeur, we're super excited for a collaboration with Zach Berg of Monger’s Provisions. Zach and Chef Jordan met and worked together at RN74 in San Francisco, a wonderful modern French restaurant that set the dining world on fire in 2010. These two will step into the Coeur kitchen and run back dishes from that iconic old-school French menu. A sort of ode to their friendship, but also to their San Francisco restaurant roots.

    Something is missing at Coeur. I wish them all the best, but something in the food, service, and experience matrix isn’t lining up. I wish drinks were quicker, plates should have been spaced out further to avoid large waits between courses, and overall level of service should have been higher for the price.

    The place was great. Think the food was a tad under. Had the Branzino and the flavor was excellent but the crust could be flakier. My date had the short rib and it also had great flavor but could’ve been brought up to a higher temp to be more tender. Atmosphere was great! We appreciated the coat check as well. Want to come back for drinks soon.

    We had the Valentine's tasting menu. It was excellent. The risotto was perfectly cooked and the flavors amazing. We enjoyed all 5 courses and of my husband had to order the freshly baked bread. He is addicted to it.

    We had our anniversary dinner here Saturday night. Staff and service was impeccable. We were welcomed with a celebratory drink, and a signed card by the staff! An unexpected touch. We had the tasting menu of 5 courses and were really impressed with all 5. The chef came out to discuss the meal and made a memorable evening. Highly recommend!

    My wife and I had dinner here yesterday and had a great experience. Everything we had was good, and fluffy mushroom beignets, presented impressively, stood out. We ordered a bunch o small plates like squash tempura and beef tartare, all exceeding expectations. Our favorite dish was probably the mushroom beignets- if they are still on the menu, highly recommend trying them. Even the compound butter for the bread is also worth shouting out. The ambiance is like upscale and relaxed at the same time. The staff also adds to this feeling, as they are both very friendly and knowledgeable. We highly recommend Coeur!

    Terriific experience. Tasting menu was imaginative and each course was delicious. Service was attentive and courses were well timed. Explanations of each course and of each wine pairing was helpful and not overly detailed.
