We went again last night - the 5 star review remains in place - still amazing, and still really expensive. We love it - had one of their fired seafood towers last night and it was incredible (and the touch of adding the pasta at the end was a step above). Their did kill the free house made chips and caviar - but I think they needed to because of the influencers that come there just to have one drink and take pictures of themselves. read more

I expected a professional, high-quality dining experience, but unfortunately, this was extremely disappointing. After receiving the wrong order and waiting an excessive amount of time for our food, we ordered the seafood baller which we were told would accommodate six people. That was absolutely not true. The platter came with maybe three shrimp, barely any scallops, and mussels that were mostly empty shells with no meat inside. It was essentially a large platter of shells and nowhere near enough food for six people. When we asked to speak with the manager, he came to the table while I was in the restroom. Although six other people were sitting there and available to explain the problem, he chose to leave and never returned. Without speaking to us or offering to replace the meal, he took it upon himself to remove the seafood baller from our bill. We weren't looking for free food we wanted the meal we had ordered so we could eat. After sitting there for hours, we still left hungry and somehow had a nearly $700 bill for a couple of sides, two steaks, and drinks. Our server was amazing and did the best he could, but the management and overall level of professionalism were unacceptable. When a guest's order is wrong, management should communicate with the table and make an effort to resolve the problem not simply remove the food without discussing it. We absolutely will not be returning. The experience was nowhere near worth the money. read more

I chose Maple & Ash for my birthday dinner because I had been there before for a friend's birthday and had a great experience. Unfortunately, my own birthday dinner was extremely disappointing. The food was great, but the service did not match the quality or price point of the restaurant. After our initial drinks and appetizers were served, our waiter was not very attentive. He rarely checked on our table and never asked if we wanted another round of drinks. What disappointed me most was how the evening ended. Our server simply asked, "Do you want anything else?" When we said no, he handed us the check, and it honestly felt like he was ready for us to leave. We felt rushed rather than welcomed. It was clearly my birthday, and although I appreciated the personalized birthday sign/menu, there was no dessert, candle, or even an opportunity for my friends to sing Happy Birthday. For a restaurant that presents itself as a place for celebrations, that was incredibly disheartening, especially because I specifically chose Maple & Ash to celebrate my birthday. After we left the table, I asked to speak with a manager. He was very kind and genuinely tried to make the situation better, including giving me a piece of chocolate cake. I appreciated his effort, but unfortunately, by then the moment had already passed. For the amount of money spent, I expected attentive service and a memorable birthday experience. Instead, we felt overlooked and rushed. The food was great, but good food cannot make up for poor service, especially when celebrating a special occasion. Based on this experience, I would not recommend Maple & Ash for a birthday celebration. I left feeling disappointed when I should have left feeling celebrated. read more

I recently went to Maple & Ash for my best friend's birthday, and unfortunately the experience did not live up to the hype or the nearly $900 bill. The food was good, but the service was mediocre at best. Our server barely checked on us, and we often felt ignored. We asked if they offered a complimentary birthday dessert after seeing birthday celebrations featured on social media and were told no. After we paid, the birthday girl spoke with a manager, who then offered her a chocolate cake and told her to ask for him if she came back. At that point, the moment had already passed. Our fries also came out cold and took about 20 minutes to be replaced. On top of an already expensive bill, there was an additional fee added for staff benefits, which we requested to have removed. The complimentary drink for the table and personalized birthday menu were nice touches and made us think we were in for a great night, but unfortunately the experience went downhill from there. I've had friends visit Maple & Ash and receive much better service, so maybe we caught them on an off night. But at this price point, I expected attentive service and a memorable birthday experience. The food was good, but not good enough to make up for the disappointing service. read more

Welcome to Chicago indeed, this place is so much fun and delivers on a cool twist of a steakhouse. The decor is stunningly beautiful. The staff is so much fun and so amazing. They created a memorable experience. Let's not forget the steak that delivers along with their amazing sides and delicious wine. Can't wait to come back totally a cool vibe. read more

Maple & Ash - Steakhouses Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I came to Maple & Ash with a group to celebrate a friend's birthday, and I really wanted to love this experience because this wasn't my first time here. Unfortunately, the service definitely missed the mark this time around. Things started off promising. We received a complimentary drink and appetizer, which was a nice touch. My steak frites were delicious, the mushrooms were THE BOMB, and we also tried the mac and cheese, asparagus, Brussels sprouts and au gratin potatoes. There were some solid dishes, although my fries arrived cold. And those oysters... whew. They were some of the smallest oysters I've ever seen in my life. My cocktail wasn't anything memorable either. Ironically, the complimentary drink was much better. The biggest issue was the service. As dinner went on, our waiter's attention to our table slowly disappeared. By the end of the meal, he had basically entered witness protection. We weren't offered another round of drinks, dessert or even asked if there was anything else we needed. Since we were celebrating a birthday, we asked if they could bring something out for our friend. We were told they don't do that. No problem. We weren't expecting anything free and would have been perfectly fine purchasing a dessert. The issue was that dessert was never offered at all. What made it even more confusing was seeing a slice of cake with candles being brought to a table right next to us as we were walking in. At that point, we were ready to go. We sat there for a while and our waiter never came back to check on us. The first time he acknowledged us again was when he noticed we were leaving and mentioned the bill. By then, the bill had already been taken care of. And that's really what disappointed me. It wasn't about getting a free birthday dessert. It was about the inconsistency in the experience. If I'm spending my money at a restaurant, I expect to receive the same level of hospitality and attention as everyone else in the room. There was good food, but the service overshadowed it. Since I've been here before, I know Maple & Ash can do better. Hopefully this was just an off night because I'd hate for this to become the norm. Parking is valet or street parking. read more

We used to save Maple & Ash for the nights that mattered. Anniversaries, big news, the dinner you build a whole trip around. Back then the room was dark and hushed and lined with deep velvet booths, and you could disappear into one for three hours with the person you love. That room is gone. The booths have been thinned out and the floor opened up, and by my count there are thirty to forty more seats packed in here now. What came with them is a volume level I would call distracting. We were leaning across a two top and still asking each other to repeat ourselves. The crowd shifted right along with the layout. Our night was wall to wall after work groups talking business at full voice. If that is the energy you want, you will have a great time. We came for a quiet, romantic dinner and never found one. The people here are still the best thing about it. Service was excellent, as it has been on every visit. They put a cocktail in your hand the moment you sit down and ours was outstanding, and the little vegetable plate with the house made French onion dip is a gracious way to open a meal. But the sommelier is who I want to talk about. He gave us real time, asked good questions, listened to the answers, and came back with a bottle produced in very limited quantities that most of us would never come across on our own. Hard to find, and dangerously easy to drink. That is the difference between someone selling wine and someone hosting you. The list here has earned Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence under wine director Amy Mundwiler, and if you sit down at this restaurant and do not put yourself in the somm's hands, you are leaving the best part on the table. The food is where the night slipped. My New York strip arrived tough and barely seasoned, which at these prices is hard to forgive. Tara's halibut was the best plate we ordered and she was glad she had it, the mac and cheese held up, and the fries with garlic aioli disappeared fast. Good cooking in spots. Not the wood fired fireworks this place built its name on. Three stars, and I want to be clear about where they land. The staff and the wine program are worth five. The room and the steak are what pulled it down. When the strip misses and you cannot hear your wife across the table, the math stops working. We are not planning a return, and that is a sentence I never expected to write about this restaurant. read more

Maple & Ash - Vino! - Steakhouses Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

1st visit = August 9th for Sunday Brunch as a party of six (6). I'm so glad I was with lawyers that can stomach the bill. The price isn't an issue when everything is great but it's something else to stomach when things are $100/minimum per person and mid. Cavier was not included with brunch Champagne is the only AYCD option for an additional $85/pp The seafood tower was aptly labeled "Seafood BOWL" by 1 party member and she's the wife with roots out of Virginia Beach, VA. Pin that to see relevancy BECAUSE I didn't judge them based on New Orleans buffets New Orleans brunches New Orleans pricing New Orleans atmosphere Nope, I compared this place to 3rd world brunches and even Beijing, China fancy brunch when I was asked how did I like it. I chose this place and felt a way that it wasn't eww la la. Meanwhile, I don't know what atmosphere they are trying to cultivate with the limited lighting, lit candelabra and table candles. Maybe for date night but I can say I have never had a candle lit SUNDAY NOON BRUNCH OR LUNCH NEITHER DINNER. Our server, Alo, called out the tip was added to the bill which beats a few other places that never speak up about such. I shall return for my own date night and see if it hits differently. Ohhh, the limitations of drinks is mind boggling. Alo said they could swap vodka for tequila then proceeded to point out the drink they would do such so I didn't feel the need to say No, I'd rather try the blossom with tequila. She wasn't pushy just "matter of fact-presumptive ask" that ends the convo before it starts. In all, the food... 1. Hand roll king crab was delicious 2. Family and friends noticed there was no sashimi and at that price 3. They kept the fries chicken hot 4. The carving station has beef but the low lighting then their hot lamp discolors the accoutrements. Yep, I'm near sighted. No, I'm not 25 anymore so maybe I am no longer the target market but I get my eye exam, FAITHFULLY, and have my next appointment Labor Day weekend. 5. No salad bar/station 6. No waffles but pancakes 7. Breakfast items include hearty potatoes and I was shocked to see cheesy grits But I don't wat grits. 8. I'll know to request the veranda dining as it's naturally lit with glass overhead. 9. Sushi is an added cost 10. Dessert station has nothing acidic. No key lime anything. The coconut offering has the meat but I'm no fan of coconut and I was quite shocked it didn't have some coconut flavoring. I didn't try the macaron but figured it's not Ladurée's but maybe next time as I was full with my 1st walk through Friends, 2 trial lawyers and 1personal injury atty = I don't think this was change our clothes and shoes for this type of DJ BRUNCH. Y'all, I died cracking up and grateful they paid. To next time. May this rating improve on next visit as I'm hoping it'll sell a sexy date night as I think it'll be Mother's Day weekend but for sure it'll be 2027. read more

Saturday night dinner reservation here. One of the trendy restaurants that specialized in steak and American style fare. Made a reservation for 9:30 and got here right at that time. Upon checkin to the hostess stand inside the door - you're sent thru the bar area to an elevator and up to the 3rd floor, where you enter the restaurant. We checked in there and were told the table was being prepared. The issue here is the hostesses are told to tell people to hang out at the bar and they'll come and get you when your table is ready. Issue with this is: you can't hear yourself think and there was an insane log jam there. So we retreated and sat out at the foyer. We were taken to our table in about 15min. Still very loud - and I'm not sensitive to loud ambience but it was heavy. Darkly lit place with no ceiling lights just candelabras on the tables. Kind of cool - very loud. We started with the Caesar salad which was partly charred and served with a soft boiled egg. It was good enough but the charring was a little over the top. For an entree I ordered the special Japanese's wagyu 6oz. I also added the brussel sprouts and we shared the au gratin potatoes. The steak was perfect really - tender, evaporated upon taste, and executed perfectly. The sides were ok - potatoes were the better of the two we got - as the brussel sprouts were just brussel sprout leaves no sprout themselves. Very hard to eat this way. For dessert I ordered the coconut cream pie which was a massive wedge. Tasted very good and I polished it. Our waitress - English? Took care of us, but was handling other tables as well so other staff also stepped in to fill drinks and make sure our experience continued at a timely rate. Overall, I would recommend here as a nice different speed than the usual steakhouse. read more

I was super excited to check out the Chicago location since I live around the corner from the Miami one. The service was warm and welcoming. The food was delicious. The brunch buffet was great! I enjoyed everything. I especially loved the carving station. The filet melted in my mouth. The grits were also soooo good! Also added on some lobster for a little razzle dazzle. The ambiance and rustic decor was beautiful! I will definitely be making a reservation for my return! read more

From the moment you walk through the front door, this restaurant sets the tone--sexy, upscale, and completely intoxicating. Upon arrival, we were escorted to the third floor, where the attention to detail and service truly stood out. Our server, John, made the experience exceptional by starting us off with complimentary cocktails and a light appetizer--both perfectly crafted and delicious. We ordered the fire-roasted oysters, which were simply divine, along with a crisp and flavorful wedge salad. For the main course, the filet was cooked to perfection--tender, juicy, and full of flavor--paired beautifully with rich, savory potato scallops. To top it all off, we were treated to a complimentary dessert: a decadent chocolate cake served with smooth vanilla ice cream. Every detail, from the ambiance to the service and the food, was flawless. This is easily a 5-star experience, and I will absolutely be returning! read more

Maple & Ash has been one of my go-to restaurants since they first opened. While certain things never disappoint, some aspects simply are not as good as they used to be. The service and ambiance remain top tier. The staff is attentive, polished, and consistently helpful. While I appreciate the restaurant's attire policy, it does seem selectively enforced, considering the number of guests wearing sneakers and t-shirts. It gives the impression that enforcement is somewhat at-will. The welcome treats at the start of the meal are always a nice touch. Our server, Brad, was excellent...attentive, knowledgeable, and thorough in explaining the current offerings. And those meatballs...still incredible. Absolutely one of the standout items on the menu. Shrimp Scampi...yes and yes! The mushrooms were fine, but nothing particularly memorable. The sautéed greens were refreshing and something I would gladly order again. One surprise of the evening was the Steak Frites. Even though I did not order it myself, it was honestly the best steak entree at the table. Unfortunately, my Steak au Poivre (ribeye medallion) was the biggest disappointment of the night. The Steak au Poivre, served with peppercorn seasoning and a green peppercorn sauce, arrived split down the middle and lacked flavor almost entirely. To its credit, it was cooked perfectly. But for the price point, flavor matters most, and this dish simply did not deliver. As someone who loves a good ribeye, I would not order this entree again. The beverages were enjoyed by everyone at the table, and after a long week, that macchiato definitely hit the spot. If you love espresso, this is an excellent choice. And last, the chocolate is a nice treat share. Everyone can enjoy a taste, if you love chocolate. Overall, Maple & Ash still delivered a great birthday dinner experience. I came, I ate, I paid...but I definitely will not be ordering that Steak au Poivre again. read more

What an amazing experience. This is the epitome of what a Chicago steakhouse should be. I will compare all future experiences and restaurants to this one. Amazing service, great pacing for the food, and delicious entrees. My husband and I came here to celebrate his birthday, and Sarah took great care of us. We loved the personal touch with the printed menu. We decided to go all out and do the tasting menu, and we were so glad we did. They said they'd take care of us and they didn't disappoint. Standouts were the halibut, the seafood tower, the New York strip with bone marrow, the ice cream sundae, the coconut pie, and the wedge salad. I love that the menu was seasonal as well, the hamachi sashimi came with strawberries in a strawberry chili sauce that was tangy and flavorful. Every course left an impression on us. We thought the Brussel sprouts were a little bitter, and Sarah immediately asked if we'd like a substitute with asparagus or dessert. We chose the dessert and were surprised at the level of care from the staff here. Highly recommend coming here for a special occasion. They'll make you feel so welcome and taken care of. The food is definitely on the pricier end but it's totally worth every dollar. Two people doing the tasting menu with 1 cocktail cost around $550 pre tip. Employee benefits and tax are included as added costs to the bill. All the employees act as a well oiled machine, working in-sync to set clean utensils, clear the table, and set up the next entree. Bathrooms were upstairs and were spacious and clean. The restaurant itself has a dark ambience lit just by candles at the table. The music in the background is a little loud and distracting. It's got a fun, young vibe. If they had a piano in the background playing jazz music, that might fit the ambiance more. It was a little hard to hear my husband above the music. read more

Ambience is beautiful. Staff were very nice and professional. The mini seafood tower was pretty good, not the best. Lastly, although multiple staff members acknowledged my birthday and a text was sent to verify the name of the person whose birthday was being celebrated, nothing special was done at the restaurant. I did not receive a custom menu or a complimentary dessert. Eight bar was perfect though. Staff were amazing. Food was delicious and a good deal. read more

Maple & Ash - This is steak au poive before sauce was poured. - Steakhouses Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The "I Don't Give A F*@k" chef's choice tasting menu: NY strip steak - it was cooked medium so it was a little more tough, wish it was more tender Bone marrow stuffing - very rich in taste, texture like gelatin, eat it with the onion and parsley to add more flavor Fire-roasted seafood tower - the BEST, the king crab was delicious, soaked in butter, you can taste the smoky flavor which was amazing, they add pasta at the end in the sauce and it was delicious Oyster and caviar - taste was fresh, comes with a vodka shot but also accommodates for non-alcoholic Bloody Mary which was spicy Sashimi w/ radish and grapes - they add some sauce to the plate but I forgot what it called, the sashimi had a strong fishy taste Yukon Gold Potatoes au Gratin - can't go wrong with this, the cheese on top was a little overcooked so it had a slight burnt taste Roasted asparagus - pretty good Rolls and butter - the rolls were fluffy and soft and the butter had a thicker texture Fork & knife Caesar salad - comes in 3 long pieces of romaine lettuce which you need to cut into pieces and in the top layer is stuffed with creamy dressing and Parmesan cheese Veggie and cream cheese dip - eh, this was alright, fresh and colorful veggies Build-your-own sundae tower - so much fun to eat, felt like a kid again as I was adding toppings to my 3 scoop Neopolitan ice cream in a bowl, the ice cream itself was really good, creamy and yummy, they give you 13 toppings to choose from served on a 3-tiered stand, pour the warm chocolate fudge over your ice cream and it hardens later Really great service here. They are very attentive to your needs (fill up your water every 5 min) and the general manager was amazing. She was very good and entertaining. Low and moody lighting and can get dim, romantic ambience. The room where you check in for your reservations was very dark. The tables had lit up candle sticks with huge candelabras. The building is 4 stories high. The first floor was the Eight Bar area. You walk all the way to the back to get on an elevator to the third floor where the main restaurant is. There's a coat check next to the elevator too. Not sure what is on the second floor. On the fourth floor are the restrooms which you walk up the stairs from the third floor. Before the hallway to the restrooms, there's a dry-aging fridge that has the steaks. In the ladies' restroom, there is an also restroom attendant. read more

A night at Maple & Ash is always a moment. From the lighting to the energy, the ambience alone sets the tone, dim, sexy, and buzzing in a way that makes you want to lean in closer. We started with the fork-and-knife Caesar, which never disappoints. Perfectly dressed and one of my favorite Caesars in the city. For mains, the swordfish was surprisingly underwhelming, but well-prepared. On the other hand, the turbot paired with a side of mac & cheese redeemed the moment. We were clearly very hungry (no photos of the mains were taken), but when it came time for dessert, restraint went completely out the window. We couldn't decide, so we didn't! We ordered both the brown butter apple galette and the coconut cream pie. ZERO regrets! read more

Stopped by Maple & Ash on one of my last trips to Chicago and wow it was excellent. When you arrive parking can be difficult and you'll likely have to park in a lot or park at a meter on the street. I had my luggage with me and it was no issue as the restaurant has a coat check located on the first floor past the bar. I dropped off my luggage with the coat check and proceeded up the elevator to the third floor (btw the restrooms are on the 4th floor if you need to use them before sitting down). When I arrived at the third floor I checked in with the host and was seated. The restaurant is beautiful, has dark painted walls and real candles on the tables. After I was seated we were brought a welcome cocktail and a caviar dip (which contained 1 oz. warm blinis, potato chips, chives, egg & crème fraiche. The welcome cocktail and caviar dip were excellent. Next I ordered an espresso martini (which contained espresso washed grey goose altius, hazelnut, cacao, saline & foam) which was excellent and a perfect pick me up after a long flight. To start dinner we ordered the ricotta agnolotti (pillows of love w/ winter truffle) which were definitely the best dish of the evening and you have to try this dish. The truffle, ricotta and pasta balance this dish perfectly. Next, our server brought some fresh bread to the table which I couldn't stop eating. For my main course I ordered the 28 day dry-aged bone-in ribeye which was excellent. The steak was cooked perfectly and definitely would order this again. We also ordered the Lobster Mac & Cheese, the Brussel Sprouts, and whipped & buttered potatoes. All of the sides were excellent but my favorite was the whipped and buttered potatoes as it complemented the steak nicely. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant and this may be the best steakhouse in Chicago. Next time I'll need to try the fire roasted seafood tower. If you are in the Gold Coast neighborhood or in Chicago this is a must try. Also, make sure to grab a reservation as this restaurant can get busy. read more

Spent more than my car payment, left underwhelmed. The dining room is so dark, our table passed around a phone flashlight to read the menu. So did other patrons. That's not ambience, that's a liability. The seafood "tower" is a plate. A good plate -- tastiest thing we ate -- but when the menu says tower, you expect something vertical. The mac and cheese, however, is genuinely outstanding. It alone justified getting dressed up. The steaks did not. One overcooked, one undercooked. At a steakhouse. At $300 a person, give or take. Then the bill arrived with a 3.5% "Emp. Benefits" surcharge -- unannounced, undisclosed, not on the menu, or website. Server said it was a 'credit card processing fee'. At this price point, padding the bill with a hidden fee and dressing it up as charity isn't charming. It's deceptive. Just price your food honestly. Come for the mac and cheese and order the double seafood plate, if you can afford it. Bring a flashlight. Read your bill carefully. Shorts and hoodies are OK, web-site's "dress chic" requirement is a joke. read more

I am from Chicago and the person I was with is from Pittsburgh. I live right down the street and I can't believe I've never been upstairs... My mind was blown away. Let me just say that my experience was amazing from the moment the elevator opened and we stepped into the hostess area. The candles were something to always be remembered. The ambience was full of energy and we were greeted by our waiter promptly with a little cutie Leechi drink. We ordered a very nice bottle of wine in the range of $4-$500, and coursed out our meal. We started with a delicious salad and bisque soup. Mmmmm. I had the lamb lollipops (they were huge!! I only ate One of three). We also had the Veal Chop very delicious. We also enjoyed the Au gratin potatoes. For dessert we enjoyed the banana cream pie! Excellent. Definitely doing another date night here!! I believe Chad was our waiter and I would request him again.

This was an amazing dining experience and perfect for any special occasion. It's hard to put it into words but everything was phenomenal, they start with the welcome drink and appetizer which was a wonderful surprise. For special celebrations they do the fun menu you see in my pics which is a nice personalized touch and fun memory to keep. The steak was perfectly cooked and all of our sides were tasty. I could have easily taken another order of the rolls home. We did the sundae tower for dessert, and it was fun ! The restaurant is dimly lit and uses candles at the table - which is kinda diff but a nice touch for the dinner . Overall great time, they have lots of seafood options and seafood towers which I didn't have because I'm not a huge seafood person. But other tables were full of towers. Great experience, would love to try brunch and happy hour ! read more
