"At first glance, Maie Day’s menu has all the typical trappings of a steakhouse—think shrimp cocktails, beef tartare, and caesar salads. But look a little closer and you’ll see dishes like country ham plates and funeral potatoes that make the whole place feel like a chophouse that spent its formative years living in the suburbs of the Midwest and the South instead of the base of a hotel on South Congress Avenue. This is a semi-casual place, where you’ll enjoy high-quality, local beef off of small tin plates like you’d find at summer camp. When you want a good steak (or pork chop or prime rib) in a lively space that’s not too stuffy, just head to Maie Day." - nicolai mccrary
