    Fire Roasted Seafood Tower
    Lillian S.

    A whole vibe! Gorgeous ambience, cool vibe, very hip. Staff were great--attentive and friendly. And all the food was aesthetically pleasing and tasty.

    This place had an amazing ambiance and incredible food! We tried so many things off the menu and nothing disappointed! The staff there were beyond lovely, attentive & kind. The food came out quickly, especially given our size. Great place for a special event and large group!

    Great birthday celebration dinner!! Fun and elegant ambiance with friendly service! The Baller grilled seafood tower was amazing!! King crabs legs and lobster were sweet and meat! All the seafood was cooked perfectly juicy not dry. Great to share between 4 of us. Dry aged Tomahawk was so tender! Perfect pairing with the buttery bone marrow. Everything was perfect! It is worthy to come here on special occasions.

    My wife and I went to Maple & Ash for our anniversary and it was such a great experience! The vibe here is very romantic and rather elegant, which makes it perfect for a special celebration like the one we attended for. For my drink, I ordered the Dream Police, which is bourbon-based cocktail with a fruity twist. It wasn't quite what I was expecting, but it was honestly quite good! For my entree, I ordered the 8 oz filet which was easily one of the best steaks I've had in recent years, and I highly recommend it to anyone who fancies a filet. To top it all off, the service was attentive and made the dinner feel special. Job well done, M&A!

    Celebrated our 1-year wedding anniversary at Maple & Ash and it was absolutely amazing. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel super special with a welcome cocktail and a curated special menu just for the occasion. I started with the Lavender and Luxury cocktail which was so good. For dinner, I had the Pillows of Love. When it first came out, I thought the portion looked small, but it was honestly the perfect size, was flavorful and satisfying without leaving me overly full. Every detail, from the service to the presentation, made the night feel really memorable. Definitely a spot I'd recommend for a special celebration.

    Does it taste amazing? Yes! Is it also very expensive? Yes! Always love the seafood tower with the pasta. It holds the sauce well and tastes delicious. All the sides along with the Japanese milk bread is delicious as well. Service was fast and attentive. Ambiance was amazing as always. However is it worth almost $200 a person I am not sure.

    I love Maple and Ash, this was my fourth visit and it's amazing every time. Came here to try the tower hour and to celebrate my mom's birthday. We of course got the tower of seafood. The scallops and shrimp were fantastic, I just wish there wasn't as many clams or maybe some mussels . My dad got the burger and loved it. The Rockefeller oyster dip was my favorite by far, a must order! As always the staff is so sweet and the drinks are strong

    Tried Maple & Ash for my bday dinner and it was very beautiful inside!! The decor and nice Christmas set up for the holidays!! They give you a complimentary cocktail that was very tasty!!! It was a cucumber cocktail that was actually tasty!! For my drink I ordered the playing for keeps which was 5/5!! Very tasty and refreshing!! My dinner option I got the chicken and mashed potatoes for my side!! We also ordered the Maple & Ash wedge for the starter!! It was good as well!!! The branzino however did not have too much flavor but is good to try and know for next time!! The service was exceptional!!!! Made my birthday very special!! I love how they put your name and happy birthday on your menu and you can take it home as well !! The server was cool the whole time and super chill!! Everyone who works there is cool!! I recommend to come here for a date night and celebration!!! -Marshay D.

    My friends and I were drawn to this place after seeing their mouthwatering Seafood Tower on Instagram. We decided to check it out during Tower Hour to get a feel for the restaurant and see if it was worthy of a special occasion. While I wish I could give this a higher rating, I ultimately left a bit disappointed with the overall experience. To start on a positive note, there are several free parking garages nearby, and valet is available if you prefer not to park yourself. The staff was lovely and very professional throughout the evening. Upon arrival, the intimate, candle-lit ambiance stood out immediately- it felt trendy without being stuffy or pretentious. The bar area was lively but not overly crowded, and their impressive liquor display was hard to miss. My friend arrived before me and was already enjoying his cocktail. We were greeted with a small complimentary veggie tray paired with an interesting dip, which was a nice touch while waiting to order. Shortly after, our waitress offered a complimentary mini cocktail, which I really enjoyed. At this point, we're impressed. I opted not to order an alcoholic drink and instead chose a mocktail instead of just water since they gave us the comp drink. My Lavender & Luxury mocktail was delicious. We each ordered the Fire-Roasted Seafood Tower ($40 each) since one was not enough to share. Unfortunately, the sauce was a letdown for me. It was overly oily and lacked flavor, which really diminished the dish. Still hungry, we ordered the Oyster Rockefeller Dip, half a dozen raw oysters (which we enjoyed), and the Dry-Aged Wagyu Burger. The burger was massive and very filling, but the dip missed the mark. The cheese had hardened into a solid layer instead of being warm and gooey as expected. It likely would have been much better served hotter. While the sliced toast that accompanied it was tasty, we ran out quickly before finishing the dip. We asked for a few more, but they didn't arrive until we were already preparing to leave later. I saw after we were charged $6 for them! Had the waitress mention the extra charge, we probably wouldn't have gotten them because the dip was not worth it. As we were finishing up, a waiter clearing our table convinced us to try a "secret menu" pasta, which turned out to be curly pasta added to our leftover seafood tower sauce. The pasta was undercooked, and since I wasn't a fan of the sauce to begin with, we only had a small taste. That was another wasted $10. Overall, the experience hadn't been particularly impressive- but what truly shocked us was the bill. It came to over $200, which felt excessive. Turns out, on top of food and tax, we were charged a liquor tax ($15), a non-alcoholic beverage tax ($18!), and an employee benefits charge. To make matters worse, my mocktail ended up costing more than my friend's drink, and both of our beverage prices were essentially doubled due to these added charges! I'm not sure if that's stated on their website but it should be. Between the mediocre food and unexpected fees, I left feeling let down. Consider this a fair warning to anyone thinking of dining here: be prepared for hefty extra charges. I don't know if it's the norm or if I never paid attention before.

    I took one of my lil sisters (mentee) here to celebrate a milestone in her career!!! They greeted us with a customized menu that congratulated her! Upon entering the server Justin gave us a no charge lemon margarita which was tasty! We got the grilled octopus appetizer - sooooo good! It being grilled over am open fire really gave it great flavor. The sauce it was tossed in was also very tasty! We followed with the 28 day aged ribeye medium rare which oyster mushrooms and Brussel sprouts. Everything was amazing!!! So so so good!! We will definitely come again! Our server Justin never rushed us. He gave us great recommendations!

    Maple & Ash in Scottsdale Arizona is probably one of the bougiest restaurants I've ever been to. From the moment you walk in, everything feels classy and elegant -- right down to the complimentary caviar dip and welcome drinks! (which already set the tone for the night) We came here to celebrate my bestie's birthday and this place definitely delivered. The ambience is unreal: dim lighting, lit candles everywhere, fancy chandeliers, a strict dress code, and even bathroom attendants. It truly feels like a full luxury experience. I have to mention that the personalized menu they give you for your birthday was my favorite thing they do! As expected with most upscale restaurants, the portions were very much on the smaller side. I ordered the "Pillows of Love" expecting to fully fall in l o v e with this dish...only to got bored of my meal by the 6th bite if I'm being honest. My biggest takeaways from the night though, were definitely the decor and service. The aesthetic and vibes were everything! Unfortunately, we did have one server who felt a bit standoffish toward our table, which was a little off-putting. Not to mention -- for some insane reason our orders ended up getting stuck behind a table of over 30 people, which meant we had to wait almost an hour for our food to come out?? Luckily our main server, Josh, did his best to make it up to us by constantly checking in and bringing us several complimentary dishes so we wouldn't be starving while waiting for our entrees. Josh completely turned things around -- he was helpful, accommodating, and genuinely made our experience that much better! His service really stood out to us and for sure elevated our night. While the experience itself was memorable, the food didn't completely blow me away tbh. I can't say it's a place I'd rush back to, but it was definitely worth trying at least once! Come here if you want to feel bougie for a night -- because you WILL feel exactly that.

    Went to celebrate my birthday and had an amazing time! The restaurant isn't too dark or loud, so there's a great vibe. In addition to the custom menu, I received a complimentary drink to celebrate. All of our food was tasty and I LOVED the brussel sprouts. I felt well taken care of and would return.

We arrived around 6:15 for our priority seating reservation, which wasn't until 630 but considering we didn't know what parking would be like we wanted to ensure we were there on time. We waited outside the restaurant since it was pretty crowded on the inside waiting space, they had cool water jugs for those of us not wanting to order a drink while we were waiting. Our table was ready around the same time for our reservation, and we were waited on attentively upon sitting down. I believe our waiter's name was Lorenzo, we had expressed that this was our first time and we also were wanting to try oysters for the first time so he gave us good recommendations on which one would be a good fit for us. We ended up trying the sweet Jesus oysters, and of course I am not a fan, but my husband was willing to give it another shot another day. I think one of the biggest positives about it being a mostly seafood base restaurant as it doesn't smell like a seafood restaurant normally does, the environment aspires to be romantic. However, the noise level really makes it difficult to hear whoever you're with. My husband was sitting literally shoulder to shoulder with me, and I struggled immensely to carry on meaningful conversation because of competing with other tables noise levels. The fish was cooked to perfection and the lemon butter sauce was to die for, the broccolini was delicious as well. My husband enjoyed his fish however he did say that for the price we paid for the fish he thinks the fillet should've been bigger. He also enjoyed his asparagus side. They were able to arrange the sign to say happy anniversary to us, I just don't have the picture since it's on my husband's phone. We celebrated the end of our dinner experience with a slice of chocolate cake, which was so delicious, and the pistachio gelato. Overall, it was a good dining experience, but it will definitely be a while before we return due to it being a more pricey dining option as well as the loud environment. * side notes: *parking is valet, only which is complementary, if you don't have cash, your valet attendant can take Venmo as a tip form. *Bathrooms are extremely clean, men and women, but women's has only two stalls so you may be waiting a while.

The shrimp are ordered à la carte, so I chose to get three of them. For drinks, my husband loved his spicy mezcal margarita. I had the pineapple mezcal margarita, which was good, but it wasn't very pineapple-like despite me asking for it to be. For the mains, my husband had an off-menu Wagyu strip with sides of broccoli and fries, which he really enjoyed. I had the linguini and clams, which I was super excited about. The clams were very good, though unfortunately not the best I've ever had. I actually found myself wishing I had ordered a steak with a seafood topper for a surf-and-turf situation instead, but overall it was still really great. The only reason I wouldn't give this a full 5 stars is because the service was a little shaky at first. There were several times right at the beginning where we needed our server and she was nowhere to be found. Interestingly, the restaurant got much busier later into our dinner, but the service gaps happened at the start when it was still slow. Overall, it was a really great dinner and we will definitely be back!

They were busy at around 10:15pm so we had to wait a bit for a table. We also had a large group of 8 but luckily we were able to get seated. Our server did an amazing job with our large group. Some in the group ordered pan roasts and some ordered crawfish etouffee. My friend also ordered clams. I always get the combo pan roast here. It's a mix of crawfish, shrimp and crab. Choose your spice level from 1-10. I forgot to specify a number and just said "hot" but it was not spicy enough for me. I normally get 7-8. I ended up adding in all the hot sauce options that were on the table plus some chili powder. Now that had a good kick to it. Ask for that! Price for the combo pan roast has doubled from before! It used to be $20, then it slowly increased to $30, and now it's $40! It's good, but I can also make it at home and get more for my money.

    This place feels like someone at the casino ran out of ideas--and space--and decided, "Sure, let's…read morecram a seafood restaurant into this random corner and call it a day." The result is a space so small and awkward it borders on absurd: a few tightly packed tables, a tiny circular bar, and just enough room to guarantee a wait time that feels wildly out of proportion to what's actually being offered. It's wedged at the end of a hallway off the casino floor, with all the ambiance of a service passage. Calling it a restaurant is generous; it's more like a seafood-themed afterthought. Honestly, it would make far more sense as a grab-and-go sandwich counter or coffee stand. As it is, it comes across as the fast-food version of seafood--minus the speed, convenience, or value. I was there with my 21-year-old daughter and we sat at the bar, which turned out to be a mistake. Instead of even the bare minimum of professionalism, the staff treated the space like their personal break room. We were subjected to loud singing, nonstop chatter, and unfiltered complaints about coworkers and management--all happening just a couple of feet away while we were trying to eat. It wasn't just distracting; it was genuinely uncomfortable. There's something uniquely off-putting about paying for a meal while being forced to listen to an impromptu staff gripe session. With so many legitimately good restaurants nearby, there's absolutely no reason to waste time--or money--here. It's the kind of place that makes you immediately regret not going literally anywhere else. I would have happily waited to dine at Orange Sky, where the setting and service actually match expectations. In hindsight, skipping this entirely wouldn't have just been the better option--it would have been the obvious one.

This is the original location that haas been there for years, but they've expanded to a few other locations. This location is small but it's cute and the staff is really friendly. You can order online for their regular menu but they had some specials this weekend (sign up for the emails because you can see the specials at leach location and you get a code for a free cookie for your birthday) so we called in. Food was ready in 15 minutes. We got the lobster roll which is Connecticut style-my preference-with lots of butter! They had a fish and chips special so we got that too. And a pb&j cookie for my birthday! My husband very recently broke his leg so picking up Chulas with some great lobster was a nice treat! It's not inexpensive but you get what you pay for. Very fresh, high quality seafood. They have great poke and a great fish market if you want to pick up raw seafood to cook at home. Definitely a little gem in SoSco.

Being the desert, the quality of Seafood is important, since we are nowhere near seawater and the reputable Chula Seafood is here to serve us, desert dwellers, well. TUNA MELT- it's refreshing to have a tuna sandwich that is not canned tuna. There is a chimichiri sauce that you can get to drizzle on it that really gives a depth of flavor. The bread was a nice sourdough that was not just a cheap white bread and did not get soggy. However, with my sandwich, the bread was burnt so that bitterness ruined the flavor of the delicate fish. My pictures shows a few burnt spots, but on the bottom side was way more burnt and it was like they put the most burnt side on the bottom to hide it and hope I didn't notice. I did not appreciate this. CLAM CHOWDER- creamy and more on the fluid consistency, being made with fresh clams makes the difference. Not the best chowder i've had, but was pretty decent. The fish variety can vary with seasons, but it is nice to get different choices throughout the year. There are limited offerings here compared to the bigger location across town, as far as menu and fish selection. But for a small store it is a good place to get some quality seafood to take home or sit and eat. Check out the great happy hour deals

    Say hello to your new favorite downtown restaurant! Wow, where to begin?…read more Service was amazing - they even printed out a small card with our reservation name on it which was presented on our table. Such a cute touch and very thoughtful. Our waitress was super knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. The spot is small and chic. It's very intimate dining so you'll be sitting close to the table next to you. Luckily, it's a quiet and calm space, so no need to worry about noise. The food was incredible. The salmon crudo was possibly the best crudo I have ever had in my entire life. So fresh and the flavors were balanced to perfection. The risotto changed my life... it was so delicious I couldn't even believe it. The only thing I would recommend skipping was the octopus tostada - not my favorite and a little fishy for my liking. Personal preference of course! The duck tasted great and was beautifully presented, but it wasn't my favorite. Again, I'm not a huge meat eater so take my advice on this one with a grain of salt. Overall an extremely romantic and special meal.

    It was pretty good but certainly not worth the titular pretty penny price--and we didn't even get…read morethe recommended 8 dishes, which is, like, the entire menu. To start, the menu is a bit puzzling. It's kind of like a handful of Asian-inspired dishes, a handful of Mexican/South American, and a handful of French or New American. But there's not enough of each to chart a course through one type of cuisine. So, basically you're gonna have a cultural melange meal. Hamachi crudo was really good and fairly unique. The halibut was excellently prepared but not particularly innovative in any way I could tell. Zucchini had goat cheese, which wasn't immediately clear from the description, so I didn't enjoy the rude surprise I got when I took my first bite, and didn't eat anymore, as I really despise the stuff. So that was a waste. Not a dig on the dish, just a personal thing I wish I had more notice of. There were other issues though. The wine list was exceptionally small, They were out of the bread, which is supposedly a must-try. And then we were going to get the steak but the folks next to us advised against it, showing their cut that had zero fat. They said it was leather. On that point, the tables are SUPER CLOSE. Like, a couple inches apart. You hear everything and almost can't avoid getting entwined into others' conversation. We liked the people we were next to, but be aware that it's an unintentionally awkward communal experience that's not well-suited to a date night. The service was pretty good, they put out a nice printed greeting with the reservation name, and give you a sparkling wine toast. But considering the price and overall experience we had, I'd pass and not come back.

Throughout the entire evening, Kerry was constantly checking on us, making sure we had everything we needed, refilling drinks, clearing plates, and helping with anything that came up--all with a genuinely friendly attitude and a smile. Meanwhile, our actual server was rarely around, and honestly, if it weren't for Kerry, our experience would've been completely different. From where I was sitting, Kerry seemed like the only person who was truly on top of things that night. He was constantly moving, helping multiple tables, and making sure guests were taken care of. You could tell he genuinely cared about providing great service instead of just doing the bare minimum. Restaurants are lucky to have employees like him. Kerry turned what could have been a frustrating dining experience into a memorable one. I sincerely hope management recognizes how valuable he is because he absolutely deserves the praise. Thank you, Kerry, for going above and beyond--even for guests who weren't assigned to you. You're the reason we'll remember this visit.

Immediate upon entering the…read morerestaurant we were met by an extremely rude and cold hostess and several employees congregated around the front desk. None of which smiled, or even greeted us. Asked if we could sit at the bar and were literally given the once over look up and down for what we were wearing. I had on a nice skirt and blouse and my husband was wearing a designer t shirt and golf shorts. There were only two people in the entire place also sitting at the bar in a nascar jersey and a tshirt. It was a true "Pretty Woman moment" of when she was trying to spend money and was greeted so rudely. We had been walking around in the heat so I had an almost empty water bottle and was told it had to be held at the front desk. Weird, but ok. Were greeted at the bar by a nice bartender who was the friendliest in the place. However after sitting there for a few minutes we were both so irritated by the rude and unwelcoming service from the moment we walked in that we decided we were not going to spend our money in this establishment. Shame on the management and owners for allowing this type of behavior. Wish I would have read the reviews prior to stopping in as it seems this is the norm.
