Steaks, seafood, lavish decor, and a sultry scene
"There’s nothing understated about Maple and Ash. This steakhouse has chandeliers, candelabras, and a $200 tasting menu called “I don’t give a f*ck,” where the kitchen decides what you eat. It’s surprisingly versatile—it can support a large group or a quiet dinner for two. This is where you should eat when an occasion calls for going all out, and you want to do so in a space that feels like you’re in the "November Rain" music video." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen
"We go to Maple & Ash when the average Chicago steakhouse just doesn’t feel quite special enough. There’s nothing understated about this Gold Coast steakhouse. It has chandeliers, candelabras, and a $200 tasting menu called “I don’t give a f*ck,” where the kitchen decides what you eat. Plus, it’s surprisingly versatile—it can support a large group or a quiet dinner for two. This is where you should eat when a birthday calls for going all out, and you want to do so in a space that feels like you’re in the November Rain music video." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, nick allen, john ringor
"Maple & Ash is offering carryout and delivery, plus you get a gift card matching whatever amount you spend." - adrian kane
"There’s nothing understated about Maple and Ash. It has chandeliers, candelabras, and an optional $200 tasting menu called “I don’t give a f*ck,” where the kitchen decides what you eat. It’s a great restaurant that’s surprisingly versatile—it can support a large group or a quiet dinner for two. This is where you should eat when an occasion calls for going all out, and you want to do so in a space that feels kind of like the mansion from Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The one from the ‘90s with Keanu Reeves and Gary Oldman’s hairstyle that looks like a butt." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
"Maple & Ash has been in the Gold Coast for almost ten years, but it’s still going strong as Chicago’s horniest steakhouse. The nightclub-y second-floor bar is where you want to be seen, among the daytraders in sweat suits and bachelorette parties in matching cutout dresses. You can order the full menu (including the $225 IDGAF tasting), and bartenders wink as they take your order. On couches in the back of the room, more than a few couples give off “will-they-won’t-they-should-they” energy while downing pornstar martinis. Count on Maple & Ash for a $250 steak and some swanky bacchanalia." - nick allen, john ringor
