    The food, drinks, fire show and staff were all on point. Mac and the Managers were very accommodating as we booked 2 separate reservations and they allowed us to sit together

    In the top list of tasting menus. Will try more times with specific entrees. Almost embarrassed- live so close and this was the first time there. Such a diverse serving staff with all focused on the same thing…. Delivering the Best experience at Coeur. A+ for delivery. The second best wine list in the Detroit area. (You guess my top pick). Went for anniversary for the first time. Strong, very strong recommendation.

    It was our first time at the place… we reserved the igloo for our dinner, our server was excellent! Her recommendations were perfect! If you go to this place do not hesitate to order the wings with their chili sesame sauce, they are incredible! The Cuban sandwich really is the best I have eaten in Michigan! The food is definitely super good! The beer and wine are excellent! So if you want to have an amazing time… this is definitely the place.

    Great venue for live music, and that means it will be too loud for quiet conversation.
