Maple & Ash

Great experience!!! The food was well seasoned and my medium well steak was cooked to perfection. But the highlight was the Sundae Tower. So many delicious toppings for the mounds of ice cream that you and a partner can enjoy together. The lighting was too dark for my liking. I understand that ambience and low lights are a staple for some upscale restaurants. But I think the food speaks for itself and so more light wouldn't hurt. The only issue with service as that the staff poured sauces on our dishes without our permission. Someone at our table wanted to try the sauces first before it was poured.

favourite steakhouse. ambiance is absolutely incredible. maintains the integrity of a high end steakhouse with an edgy, modern twist. food was nothing short of fantastic - every course was a 10/10 and i can say this restaurant had the best dessert and drinks. very carefully crafted and curated and it shows. they have a firey/wood theme going on which i absolutely loved and this is true across the restaurant with the dishes, the flavours and ambiance. they take the time to really describe the flavours when they bring the food and the sources of the food which i really appreciated. top quality experience - through and through this is hands down my favourite restaurant and i’ve tried it in 2 states. i attached some pictures - i also had a steak and lobster, mashed potatoes Brussels sprouts and everything was just fantastic!

My fiancée surprised me with reservations here on my birthday! I loved it! The waiter was nice and patient. Their mac n cheese was amazing. The personal menu was a fun and cute idea. My only complaint was that our table was wobbly and with cutting the steak, I felt like our candles were going to tip over. I had to have my foot over the table leg the whole time. Also I didn’t like how I wasn’t facing my partner, I had to sit in corner facing about 6 couples down the row. Valet parking was convenient and they were efficient! Would recommend to friends.

How can you miss this spot? In fact,the hottest spot in Chicago. Their menu can be quite extensive, but you were definitely want to try their steaks and seafood towers are a most. So much to mention, but one thing I can guarantee you if you’ll be delighted by an outstanding service at phenomenal dishes. My favorites. Hot seafood tower make you key your server know that you want the whole show. Their steaks Carpaccio Sashimi & tataki dishes Ask the sushi chef for the fav rolls Now you like wine? They have plenty Tequila? Mezcal? Their beverage program and options is top notch.

I walked into Maple & Ash with the highest of expectations to celebrate my birthday dinner. The steakhouse glowed with dim lighting and the soft flickering of candlelight, giving it an elegant and refined feel. The waiter led us to our table where we were greeted with a menu that was personalized with my name and birthday wishes. A small gesture, but it made me feel special. As we settled in, the waiter brought out a handful of potato chips that were accompanied by a French onion dip and caviar. It was an upscale take on a classic chip and dip but with a little extra flair. I eagerly scooped up a chip with the dip, anticipating the taste of caviar. Unfortunately, the flavor was lost amidst the other ingredients. Still, the chips were complimentary, so I couldn't complain! Next up were the appetizers, and I couldn't resist trying the beef tenderloin steak tartare with sourdough bread. It was a perfect blend of flavors that melted in my mouth. The French onion soup was equally impressive, creamy, tangy, and cheesy. I could feel my taste buds doing a happy dance with every spoonful. For the main course, I ordered the Maple & Ash Surf & Turf, which came with a 6 oz filet mignon and half a lobster. The filet was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, but it wasn't quite as good as my homemade steaks. The highlight of the night was the lobster mac and cheese. Initially, we ordered it without lobster, but our waiter suggested adding some. It was only later that we found out that the few pieces of lobster added a $30 charge! Regardless, it was the best mac and cheese we had ever tasted. The service was professional, with the waitstaff treating us like royalty. They were attentive and informative, making the experience all the more enjoyable. The ambiance of the restaurant was loud and bustling, with a dressy atmosphere that made us feel like we were at a fancy gala. It may be pricey, but the experience is well worth it for special occasions. I can't wait to come back and indulge in that lobster mac and cheese again.
