"At the bottom of the South Congress Hotel, Maie Day feels equal parts casual steakhouse and celebratory dinner spot, with high ceilings, eclectic art, and party vibes. Chef Michael Fojtasek’s menu is playful and shareable, featuring options like juicy New York strip, crab claws, and sides like mac and cheese or loaded fries. The cocktails lean refreshing, with standouts like the basil-infused and vodka-heavy Coastal Grooves. The interiors are loud, bright, and never too serious, while the chocolate cake is almost as large as your torso." - Darcie Duttweiler
