The entire place was beautifully design and played into the concept well. I ordered the Fox River which was spirit forward, smooth, and subtly sweet. My husband ordered the Gin Blossom which was frothy, bright, and balanced. The drinks both tasted good and were presented well. This was definitely a favorite spot of mine and I'd certainly come back!

I've been here a few times with the guys and each time we love it. We've had the back room, with a big screen TV, all to ourselves and we've also posted up on the balcony. Not matter where we sit the seats are comfortable and the surroundings are swanky! Ordering from the menu is a chore because everything sounds amazing! Rest assured... it is! I have yet to have a cocktail here that didn't wonderfully wet my whistle. And the same high remarks go for the staff, who are always welcoming and accommodating. I dare you not to become a fan of TDS upon your first visit! Will I be back again? Absolutely!

Weather was nice so we opted for their outdoor patio seating. I will say the host seemed like she was sad and having a rough day, however she still wished us a good day on our way out with a smile, hope the poor girl is okay. The restaurants ambience is great and the food is spectacular as always. Me and my wife recommend the French toast as well as the sausage crostada!

I've been there many times, pre-renovation, and now twice since renovation. One of the things I like most is that the owner so clearly loves what she's doing and is almost always there, interacting with customers and bringing cheer and warmth. The place feels--especially in the summer time--like sitting on a European street. The food is always tasty (the deviled eggs especially), the drinks are creative. I could use a slightly wider cocktail list that incorporates varying base spirits and experiments a bit more, but what they serve up is good.

For drinks my wife got the a pineapple cocktail similar to a. Malibu pineapple that must be new because it's not on the online menu. And I ordered the Cucumber margarita, both were very good and my wife loved hers. We ended not getting appetizers but will next time. For dinner, my wife chose the Wagyu Double Smash burger, it was very good, but we did feel it was missing some peppers or something spicy on it. I went with the 15oz Altair Grass Fed Wagyu Ribeye, cooked perfectly and the meat was very tender. I actually asked for an enhancement not shown on their menu, which was a bleu cheese crust and it was amazing, I highly recommended getting steaks here it was a 10/10. Our server was also so attentive and amazing, he actually brought out a huge slice of cake for us to share and had enough to take home. For sides we did share the Bone Marrow Potato Purée, and it was also a 10/10. Everything was eaten, will definitely be coming back and also need to check out the beautiful bar sometime

I had never been here and am not familiar with the area, and Maple & Hash seemed to be a great place where my friends and I could yap comfortably and enjoy a great meal! I didn't take pics because I was too busy yapping but definitely want to give this place 5 stars. I'll happily recommend it to anyone who's looking for a breakfast/brunch spot in the area!

I heard they have a special during the week too so definitely check them out. I tried a the strawberry shortcake/cheesecake which I did enjoy. The banana foster wasn't exactly what I expected a little artificial. The starburst and jolly rancher martinis were good. Overall a great place to stop by for drinks in downtown Elgin!
