The story
Maple & Ash, at 8 W. Maple St. in Chicago, is an American steakhouse listed as Michelin Recommended for 2026. The restaurant's wine list also earned Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence in 2017.
The menu is developed by Chef Danny Grant, whom the restaurant describes as a two-Michelin-star chef. The kitchen works in the steakhouse tradition, and the restaurant lists tasting menus among its services. Lunch, dinner and brunch all appear in its cuisine listings, so the kitchen runs across the day.
Wine is the restaurant's clearest point of pride. Its list is described on the restaurant's site as one of the most outstanding in the world, and a wine pairing option sits alongside the cocktails and bar service. The bar gives guests a second route into the menu for those who skip the bottle list.
Outdoor seating, live music and private parties are all available at the Chicago location. Valet parking and wheelchair access are also listed, which matters for groups arriving by car.
