Eight Bar

Aperol Happy Hour. The spritz is $15 dollars which isn't really much of any deal but you do get $9 tune and king crab hand rolls which I did indulge in but didn't snap a pic of. The patio is delectable. The service really good. According to Emily the salad was really good, especially with the warm bacon. I at this point I've been to 3 different Maple and Ash/Eight Bar happy hours: 9-11pm happy hour, tower hour and now aperol spritz.

Mid lol. I've eaten upstairs and down; ordered Sashimi Ponzu and the Caviar Cheesestick. Cuts of fish were tough. The cheesestick could've been served warmer. Unappealing. I just want to eat my food and say "Yum" afterwards lol.

While attending a conference in Chicago, we enjoyed dinner at this restaurant. The food was exceptional, and the staff provided outstanding service. Our experience from the moment we arrived was fantastic, and I'm very eager to return. I highly recommend trying the truffle pasta!

Great service and excellent food. The patio at maple and ash is a more casual version of the inside area. The menu is also a little different but it still offers all the goods. I love their ricotta agnolotti and the octopus appetizer. I'm not a huge fan of the New York strip cut just in general so I would love to come back and sit in the formal dining area to try a filet. Would definitely recommend Maple & Ash for any celebration or fun occasion. They even give you customized menus!

Made a reservation at 12 exactly when they open, pretty chill vibe has a big bar and wide selections of cocktails, food is pretty well priced, customer service is A1. Really friendly and answered all my questions about the menue I ordered half oysters and king nigiri, came out pretty quickly and man the fish and oyster were soo fresh! The nigiri was 8pcs,Parking street parking if you can find it or $20 valley parking.

We went to Maple & Ash to celebrate a birthday dinner. The dining room reservations are usually booked far in advance. We were lucky to get patio seating which was warm and cozy. The service was great. I loved the downstairs burger and the mac & cheese. Definitely recommend both! I'm not a huge fan of french onion soup but my husband said it was really good!

Trying to think of a special place to have our small celebratory engagement dinner, I couldn't think of any other place that has raved reviews after raved reviews. I didn't realize the patio was a completely different menu, but we weren't disappointed either way.Roberto was our waiter and the staff was on point at all times. Some of the best service in Chicago, in my opinion. We got a custom menu to celebrate our engagement and Roberto was kind enough to treat us all to a glass of champagne for a toast. It was such a delightful touch. He also recommended a great bottle of wine that got us perfectly toasty for the cold night we visited on. The patio is completely covered and warm inside - warm enough to take your coat off just FYI.The food is really good and pricey - so be prepared. We absolutely loved everything we got (which I'll list below), but I think next time, we'll opt out of getting the steak. We'll never learn our lesson that steaks are just better cooked at home. But hey, that's just our opinion.Chopped salad (maple & ash wedge) - refreshing, light, flavorful, and crispy. The dressing isn't overpowering. It's big enough to share with 2-3. Dry aged Meatballs - a must! So good, cheesy, and flavorful. Comes with a side of bread and four meatballs. Topped with sauce, perfect for dipping. Don't skip!28oz bone-in Ribeye - I absolutely love fat. This one was perfectly medium rare and came on the bone. There was a little too much grizzle that made a few parts tough to chew. Like I said, I really like the fat so I was bummed to not get much out of this.Mashed potatoes - do not skip! I repeat, do not skip. This is also a just. A side large enough to split with 2-3 but honestly, you won't want to. It's a 50/50 mashed potatoes I believe. At least that's how it tasted. Completely smooth and creamy. Next time I'll be getting this and trying the Mac and cheese.Coconut cream pie - highly recommend, even if you're a chocolate lover. So light and refreshing. It was the first to go at a table full of chocolate lovers.Chocolate cake - it had a hazelnut topping that was crunchy and a the perfect texture complement. The rest was a little too dense for me. That doesn't mean it wasn't great. I just preferred the coconut cream pie.Next time I'll try the bone marrow and a few other items. I wasn't with the most explorative group of people that eat absolutely anything like myself haha.

I took my lady here for her birthday. I had no idea that the patio was separate from the inside dining room. But the patio was heated and comfortable. There's about as much space in the patio as there is inside. The only difference is that the dining room menu has a few more options. I got the steak frites. I haven't had the best experiences with Chicago steak houses but this one is near the top. Great quality steak prepared perfectly. Our host Brayan was awesome with helping us make our selections. For Steak house recommendations, this should be a top 5 option.

Had the best time at the bar here. Service was outstanding, wine was flowing and food was yummy. Loved the vibe, especially if you're wearing something a bit more casual than upstairs attire. Would definitely go back and get more of the sushi!

Love the patio. It's the best just hanging out having a nice meal talking with my friends. It's the best. The service I highly recommend. All my friends and I always hang out there always when I meet new friends. I tell them where to go Maple and Ash patio.
