Maple & Ash Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
Maple & Ash definitely lives up to all the hype.
The ambiance, food, and service were all top notch...I think? LOL! I'm embarrassed to admit, but we got completely wasted and the whole experience was a bit of a blur so I'm a little hazy on specific details. All I remember clearly was that the dinner started with appetizer drinks and a caviar dip thing which were both complimentary, followed by the seafood tower, some steaks, and dessert... and that we were completely satisfied with everything. I'm sure we were difficult customers that night (sorry!), but I don't remember getting any sass from the servers. We came famished and completely sober, but left full, slushed, satisfied, and wallets empty lol.
First and foremost, outstanding wait service! We loved the
First and foremost, outstanding wait service! We loved the candelabra on our table too! Food was great, salads, steak, appetizers all good. Fun atmosphere, a bit loud. Only sore point was the dessert- the ice cream had no flavor whatsoever, aside from the strawberry scoop. Reviving 4 stars because the host was very rude and told us he didn't have a reservation for us... when the rest of our party was checked in and sitting at the bar upstairs and there was in fact a table of 9 for us... we had to just walk in and ignore him.

This place was amazing!! We celebrated my daughter's birthday here and everything was perfect. EVERYTHING!
I love love love dining here, just entering you get the air
I love love love dining here, just entering you get the air of fine wine and a fine time ! The food never disappoints me and service is quick and attentive. As well as the staff all around was super helpful and nice . Full of smiles!
this place certainly passes the vibe check.
it's sexy, romantic, and very upscale. the service was also great - the entire wait staff timed each course perfectly. the potatoes au gratin were so deliciously creamy and decadent. the bone marrow was very flavorful. my takamori drunken wagyu was superb - really good seasoning and cooked just how i like it. however, my partner's aged new york strip was nothing to write home about. it tasted very tough, but maybe this was because i tried this after my wagyu. the starter chips and dip was good, but the dip honestly tasted just like french onion dip. also, i know this is fine dining, but man is this place pricey.
Candle Lit Heaven
Once again, show me a steakhouse and I'll show you all the fantastic seafood options! Maple & Ash has a romantic and sexy ambiance, complete with white tablecloths and candlelight. I don't think there is an electric light in the place. Helmed by two-Michelin-star Chef Danny Grant, the menu delivers exquisitely presented wood-fired dishes, complemented by a world-renowned wine selection recognized by Wine Spectator. Protip: grab a drink in the bar downstairs before heading upstairs to dinner. Here's what we had. HAMACHI CRUDO golden beet, wild citrus, habanero & cilantro YELLOWFIN TUNA TARTARE avocado, crispy shallots, mango & chili oil WOOD-GRILLED SPANISH OCTOPUS confit marbled potatoes, saffron rouille & herb salsa BRIOCHE CRUSTED HALIBUT Salsify, escargot, chervil, & veloute The service was impeccable. Loved it!

Do not go here! The management has changed in the environment has changed. This place is not a place I recommend. There are so many other great places in the west loop. This place has literally fallen apart.
The food was okay.
Pricey but the ambiance is what sold me. The drinks were good and my salmon was okay but the people were everything. Single night life in Chicago is what this restaurant gives and was told that the bar has a separate menu that is better.
I lowkey just went here today.
When we walked in the place looked decent aesthetically . We sat on the 1st floor for a lunch reservation, where they had a nice lounge and bar area. While chillin and trying to figure out what to order, we had a gentleman pour us room temp water and when I took a sip of the water through my straw something besides water came out. I took what ever it was out my mouth and it looked like an old piece of meat or something(). The guy apologized but never told his server partner what took place. They gave a lousy 10% off we didn't leave though shorty still was gasing the place up. They heard so many good things about the place so we still ate there and the food was still amazing. Especially the King crab sushi roll. We was also disappointed another time because we went there thinking that we would try this dish in the video but apparently we were too early (noon) and they don't serve this until happy hour which starts a 5pm and ends at 6pm the server explained. So I guess that's exactly what it is "a happy hour". 5/10. For the service. -The meat in water issue -server did it stop by table after taking order. - seafood tower deal only available from 5pm-6pm I'd give them another chance cus the food was so good
Staff are unbelievably rude.
Dont go here. Bouncers especially have zero class nor manners. Highly suggest you go to Lux Bar
Maple and Ash never dissapoints! My husband and I have been
Maple and Ash never dissapoints! My husband and I have been here four time and the service and food has always been consistently good. They play some type of house music but I didn't even notice until I watched a video I recorded of the food. Food wise, the only thing I do not recommend is the octopus. I've had it twice and both times it's been tough. The wagyu sampler is 100% worth it if you love meat, and the veal chop is perfect if you have an appetite. Don't fill up with their complimentary items and splurge on the delicious cuts they have!
One and DONE!
It is ok but mostly over the top! Lamb Chops $79.00 dollars & you have to order sides separately. 4 small lamb chops! Really! You can go to LongHorn steakhouse & get the Lamb Chops & 2 sides as a meal for under $30.00 dollars.
Well Done Maple & Ash
Booked last minute reservations, couldn't get into the dining room so we booked the patio. I'm sure the dining room is amazing, but I have to say I thought the atmosphere and general vibe of the patio was perfect. Food was outstanding, service was fantastic, and everything about the experience was exactly what we hoped for. My wife and I are city people who now find ourselves in the middle of nowhere (that's North Dakota if you are wondering), and when we make it back to civilization we are always looking for great "city" experience...Maple & Ash delivered and reminded us both how much we miss the urban life.
Wonderful, BUT…..
Went for our 50th anniversary dinner. Food was spectacular!! Presentation, service was amazing. Loved it!! But the music was horrible!!!! Sounded like a record from the 60’s with a needle that was stuck, playing the same 3-4 bars of music all night…. Throbbing awful music. It would add a lot to the experience if the background music was easy to listen to. We did love it, though. Food was just over the top delish. We did the “ I don’t give a F*@k” menu. Delish😊
And one star is generous…
Where to begin…ok, stay with me here, it’ll be worth it! The food was outstanding! Steak was cooked to perfection, sides were delicious and the wait staff was excellent. Billed as one of the best dining experiences in Chicago we were all excited to partake of its excellence. When we got a text about their strict dress code we felt we were guaranteed a fantastic outing. Now, for the reality of the situation. The tables were stacked one on top of the other like a fast food establishment with no designated walkways for wait staff or customers, resulting in being constantly brushed. The music they played was more akin to what you would hear in a bar and was so loud it made talking extremely difficult mandating near shouting to be heard. The dress code was non-existent! We felt like we were in a pick-up bar with woman showing their wares. Haven’t seen so little clothes and so much flesh since Times Square in NYC years ago.! The table behind us had 4 young men (30s) that were shouting, cursing and being genuinely obnoxious. Nobody did anything! We had to speak with them about lowering their voices and watching their language. For the amount of money we spent we (all 4 of us) felt truly robbed. If you are looking for a fine dining experience, find another place, (using the word “restaurant” would be way too kind).
A strange night at a visual bordello…
Maple & Ash If you looking for loud, loud blaring music. Chairs and tables set in aisle ways. Cash registered directly behind where customs sit. If you seek a very high priced pick-up bar available on not just one but both floors effectively eliminating any hope for a reasonable opportunity to talk and be heard, or to listen to others, (including the wait staff). Then you are going to simply love M&A! On the other hand. If you believe a fine dining experience should allow family, friends, or business associates to be able to communicate freely without shouting at each other. If you believe tables should not be stacked across natural aisle ways. If you think cash registers should not be run in tight aisle ways immediately behind seated patrons. If you also believe that when management goes out of its way to publish a rather rigorous dress code, but then allows everyone to broach it to the point of young ladies dressed in bordello black leather with as much legally as can be exposed, (along with others in unmissable micro-mini skirts, etc.,), then your probably going to be very dissatisfied with your evenings choice - to put it mildly and very respectfully. In its credit the fillet mignon was great, and the sides and wine selection very well done and chosen. But our server couldn’t even be heard trying to explain the menu options. It didn’t help either that we had some young drunk customers behind us, one with a loud shrill laugh you’d expect in a comedy movie. Staff simply chose ignored it (or maybe they couldn’t actually hear the outbursts!). When we finally tried to ask them to tone it down, (mind you it is hard to explain how loud they where since this place thanks to the music was very, very loud everywhere) one man tried touching my shoulders and my back and then saying “shhh…” and all the rest of the verbal nonsense that usually goes with debouched drunken revelry. This is a very expensive restaurant. If you are led to believe one set of things by reading managements on-line policy (as we did packing our appropriate attire for our flight since we were here to enjoy the best of Chicago), but then find you you’ve been made the fool of…well…you’re not going to be please or very happy. If however in all fairness you seek a restaurant with no atmosphere, no decorum, that attracts others that seem to be gravitated by its complete lack of adherence to their own proclamations on propriety and personal tire, then this place will certainly satisfy no end and was quite the visual circus! Our advise: avoid!!!
Hip, elegant and fun with amazing food
My husband and I had dinner here to celebrate our anniversary. This place is a combo of hip and elegant with a topping of fun! We had a great experience starting from making the booking with Alicia - we consulted her for a good table selection since we had not dined her before, and we were seated in the atrium. So beautiful and elegant with candelabras on every table! Then we had amazing service from Dario who made delicious suggestions from the menu. My favorite was the octopus! We also consulted with Jesse the sommelier who made excellent suggestions on wine for every course. The experience was fantastic from start to finish - I highly recommend Maple & Ash!
Bad service mediocre food
Service is slow and inattentive. The bathrooms stink. Steak was good, but the Mac and cheese was overly salted and the corn was bad. Go to Swift & Sons, RPM steak, or Bavette’s instead. This place is trendy, but it’s missing the mark.
Great experience.
We were recommend this restaurant and we had no idea what to expect but it exceeded all of our expectations. It is pricey but just go for it. We did the I don’t give a f$&k menu and I will do it again next time we come. Thank you for an amazing night

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
How do I deposit $?
I've earned $150 in a transaction and am not able to send this to my account. It's been rejected 3 times because I'm asking for too much?
The customer support function has provided zero responses and there are so many fees on the deposit process. What the heck? Has anyone been able to withdraw $ from earned bids?
Payouts
Anyone know how increase payout transfer to bank as I can only send $50 a day and they charge $5 for every transaction. There must be a way. I’ve contacted support two days ago and not a reply.
