Highlights were the steaks, service, and hospitality. The summer salad with watermelon tomato and straticcello was also excellent. Well made cocktails. We were celebrating my husband's BD and appreciated the amouse bouche lychee cocktail & chips. I ordered the $58 scallops and was floored when the dish came out - two scallops (each cut in half) which were very chewy. I loved having the option to pre-order a mini red velvet cake as a surprise. It was really pretty - frosted nicely like a mini wedding cake - but it tasted like nothing. It was $45. I don't mind paying a premium, but the quality wasn't there. Disapointing.

Oysters were fantastic. Brussels sprouts were underwhelming. Bone in ribeye was excellent. The fish meals were good not great. Service was excellent. It is dark but we expected and we were fine but some near us struggled. A lot of great energy. Bread was was cool.

I've been to M&A a number of times and I've never been disappointed. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, food is delicious, and the ambiance is top notch. I will be back again!

Somehow it gets better every time we go! Celebrated a special occasion and the staff made it a perfect evening for us. Greeted with a cocktail was a beautiful surprise. Food and service was spectacular

The total dining experience was nothing short of amazing. Jamie was our host and his customer service impeccable. The food get's a chef's kiss. We enjoyed 3 course with drinks.

Thank you for yet another wonderful experience, Maple & Ash! You always knock it out of the park, from the food to the service to the vibe.

I've been hearing about Maple and Ash for a while and I finally had brunch here and the overall experience was amazing. The service was great, the food was excellent and my party and I left satisfied. I'll definitely be back to explore the dinner menu.

Our server John was incredible. I wish I could have tipped him even more but going here was splurging for me lol. I couldn't have been more impressed with food, drinks, service, desert ambiance etc.. my wife and I were blown away. Best dinner we've ever had in Chicago!

If you have the opportunity to enjoy brunch at Maple & Ash, you'll never forget it. This was our Chicago trip highlight without a doubt. Beautiful space, cool music, attentive service. Runners, busboys, and servers were choreographed with precision. Free Welcome cocktail and amuse (with caviar!) We ordered wagyu carpaccio to share, then King Crab Benedict and Lobster toast. Hubby had bourbon cocktail and I had yummy espresso martini. Really loved the entire experience!

Overall, it was a great experience. We were seated promptly, and our server was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The food arrived hot and was absolutely delicious. The restaurant uses text messaging to communicate, which is convenient but a bit glitchy—I had trouble rescheduling and ended up using OpenTable and calling directly to get it sorted out. One thing to note: the noise level inside was much higher than expected. Between the crowd and the loud music, it was difficult to hear the person sitting across from me. Still, the service and food made it a worthwhile visit.
Other restaurants should take note. We did the chef dinner and it was over the top fantastic food. Every dish was terrific. Waiter was great; just the right amount of attentive without being too much. He was for sure a big part of our terrific experience. The entire evening was epic- but it was not a cheap experience so get ready for sticker shock. We will save our nickels and dimes to return one day soon!

It is an amazing place and it never disappoints. It is quite expensive but worth every bite and penny. 
Christopher
Service and drinks were delicious. The dishes lack quality. We used to dine at this establishment a few years ago and the quality of the entrees was much higher. I was very disappointed with the steak.
Clifford
The food was very good. The primary server jumped around a little bit too much from table to table  while trying to explain the menu and options and at the same time taking your order.

The experience at Maple & Ash was beyond my expectations. Service was above and beyond, and the staff was so personable it was like having conversations with family. The food was top-notch, from the complimentary items to the menu items. The atmosphere was great. We did not feel rushed to pick our entrees and eat our meals.This is definitely a keeper, and when in Chicago again, we will visit again.
