Sophisticated steakhouse with an extensive wine list


























"A popular Gold Coast steakhouse, Maple & Ash is facing a lawsuit from a group of estranged investors who say the $3 million they put in was mishandled; the investors allege co-founder Jim Lasky committed fraud by failing to use Paycheck Protection Program funds as intended, claiming virtually none of the $7.6 million in PPP aid went to the restaurants and accusing the use of $2 million on a 12-seat Learjet and $32,000 on country club dues, while the restaurant has denied any wrongdoing." - Eater Staff
"Maple & Ash feels like the dinner spot Roman Roy might pick to impress a new client—it’s unapologetically hedonistic with the perfect amount of excess. The vibe is fun and flashy with Scottsdale socialites clinking Dom Pérignon and bachelorette parties popping caviar bumps. Their food doesn’t skimp on loud luxury either, including 45-day dry-aged tomahawks, wood-fired chops served with roasted bone marrow, stacked seafood towers, and $200 chef-curated tasting options for when you want to surrender your stomach and your wallet to the kitchen’s whims. This place is best for special occasions, like big birthdays, overdue promotions, or when you just feel like being fancy on a Wednesday." - lauren topor

"With a prominent wine list and a Champagne gun, Maple & Ash manages to inject a fun modernity to the tried and true steakhouse template without sacrificing on the food offerings. Diners will find impressive seafood towers, wood-fired steaks, and cocktails all made to satisfy both the table and the ‘gram. Non-steak enthusiasts will love the ricotta agnolotti or slow-roasted sea bass." - Asonta Benetti

"If your wants to enjoy the cuisine of a high-end steakhouse with a side of debauchery, Maple & Ash is a must-visit. It’s hard to go wrong with your meal - whether you opt for weekend brunch, dinner, or its seafood tower-filled “Tower Hour” happy hour. For added excitement, let the chef choose your entire meal with the I Don’t Give a F*@K option available during brunch and dinner. Just make sure to request a custom menu ahead of the visit to make the bride feel extra special." - Jamie Phillis
