"Coeur is lowkey the spot for an excellent burger in Ferndale. The 7-ounce pub-style burger is made with Stonefall Farm wagyu beef and is stacked with Mongers’ Provisions cheese, remoulade, lettuce, and pickles on a fresh burger bun. Coeur also rotates new burger ideas, available on Thursdays, experimenting with different styles like a lamb smash burger with Kasseri cheese, cleverly titled the “Saganaki Smash.” Know before you go: Dress to impress, at least your date. This is a nice option for date nights and special occasions." - Danny Palumbo
"Coeur, translating to “heart” in French, is located in the heart of the city. Chef Jordan Smith puts out a French-ish, New American menu, along with a five-course tasting menu for $89. The desserts, created by pastry chef Carla Spicuzzi, are inspired by favorite childhood flavors. The choco taco and milk and cookies have appeared more than once. Thursdays feature a smashed lamb burger, and Sunday mornings include a different brunch menu." - Courtney Burk
"Most people visit Coeur for the tasting menu, but chef Jordan Smith always has a fresh, funky take on steak available a la carte, too. From a tenderloin filet capped with a raviolo filled with delicious au poivre sauce to a wagyu coulotte paired with a Jimmy Nardello chimichurri, expect the unexpected at Coeur. The restaurant is also poised to start serving Stonefall Farms wagyu steaks by summer 2025, so be sure to check that out, too." - Danny Palumbo
"Derived from the French word for heart, Coeur — helmed by chef Jordan Smith — offers a varied weekend brunch spread made up of classic comforts, but with creative twists. French toast is made with challah bread and comes with seasonal jam and smoked maple syrup; the burger is made with lamb and comes topped with rosemary-onion jam, morbier cheese, lettuce, and pickle; and the okonomiyaki — a savory Japanese pancake — includes a slab of bacon, poached egg, shiitake mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, and a lime soy glaze." - Serena Maria Daniels
"I can buy a family-style Thanksgiving package for two for $120 that includes spatchcocked turkey with gravy, mushroom and leek dressing, roasted carrots and root vegetables, cranberry gelée, a green bean and foraged mushroom casserole, potato purée and a chicory salad, with pecan or pumpkin pie available for an additional charge; orders are placed online and pickups are between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Wednesday, November 27." - Serena Maria Daniels
