Fabulous Dinner. Every dish was perfection! Black Ink squid pasta with crab and shrimp simply divine. We split as an appetizer. Main course: we split Dover sole and choose the acorn squash as a side. Wine, fresh bread and Finished off with the chocolate mousse and bambalinos ( house made donuts). The flavors are nuanced and the culinary level a cut above. Service was excellent and the ambiance is relaxed chic and not stuffy. This is a pretty restaurant and we so appreciated being able to eat and converse at dinner. No loud pounding music, thank you, thank you Chef Jared for another memorable dining experience at one of the best restaurants in the “D”. This place is a must! PS Plenty on the menu is you don’t eat fish.

Great food, excellent service. We loved the explanation of the courses as they came to the table as well as the drinks that got explained. My vegetarian friend really appreciated the options they had for her! Overall, a great venue for a work gathering. Which is what we were there for. We had the 5 course menu option and it was a 2.5 hour event. It was the perfect timing for me and my team. Would recommend, and will return in the future.

Went out for my boyfriend’s birthday. Overall an awesome experience. Our server was Paige* (not sure of the spelling).. she was so knowledgeable & friendly right off the bat. We actually ordered 2 of the specials based off her recommendations and they were perfect: Salmon Bites & Rasta Pasta. We had the Chicken Ravioli from their traditional menu & it was amazing. I tried one of the holiday cocktails as well, coconut mojito situation, it was great! I could’ve had 3 easily. 😂 Great place, great service, great food. Will definitely be back!

Lily’s and Elise is a beautiful, intimate spot. My friends and I made reservations for the Santa brunch. The brunch was pretty tasty but the rose matcha latte I had was amazing. I am looking forward to visiting again soon.

Coeur is a hidden gem in Ferndale — upscale but unfussy. Truly one of the best restaurants around, from the impeccable service, to the deep and thoughtful wine list, amazing n/a beverage program, and top-notch and unique food prepared by a team that really cares. It’s so nice to have such a nice restaurant in Ferndale. (But the burger is easily one of the best I’ve ever had and the desserts are always so fun and tasty.) Don’t sleep on Coeur!
