Reviews Eight Bar And Patio

Favorite bar in the Gold Coast, hands down. And Daniel is one of the best bartenders around! Check this spot out. From their burger to their simple greens salad to their salmon... AND their shishito peppers... amazing.

Great food and service, I went for brunch and ate the Hash and was not disappointed. I am going back for the chicken in fact I want to hit the whole menu

OMG! I absolutely loved this place! I went for my bday a couple of weeks ago and they exceeded my expectations! Our waitress was phenomenal. The food was amazing! Our waitress was nice enough to bring us a candle holder upon my request. Loved loved loved everything! Will definitely be back. Thanks for making my birthday a memorable experience ✨️ 💖

Just a wonderful 5⭐️ experience all around. There’s no wonder why it’s rated so high. The service is impeccable, special thanks to Livia. The crudo was so light and fresh. The meatballs were wonderful. The Eisenhower was a dream…tender and juicy. The only thing I didn’t love was the French onion soup. Gratin potatoes, Mac and cheese…10/10.

favourite steakhouse. ambiance is absolutely incredible. maintains the integrity of a high end steakhouse with an edgy, modern twist. food was nothing short of fantastic - every course was a 10/10 and i can say this restaurant had the best dessert and drinks. very carefully crafted and curated and it shows. they have a firey/wood theme going on which i absolutely loved and this is true across the restaurant with the dishes, the flavours and ambiance. they take the time to really describe the flavours when they bring the food and the sources of the food which i really appreciated. top quality experience - through and through this is hands down my favourite restaurant and i’ve tried it in 2 states. i attached some pictures - i also had a steak and lobster, mashed potatoes Brussels sprouts and everything was just fantastic!

My fiancée surprised me with reservations here on my birthday! I loved it! The waiter was nice and patient. Their mac n cheese was amazing. The personal menu was a fun and cute idea. My only complaint was that our table was wobbly and with cutting the steak, I felt like our candles were going to tip over. I had to have my foot over the table leg the whole time. Also I didn’t like how I wasn’t facing my partner, I had to sit in corner facing about 6 couples down the row. Valet parking was convenient and they were efficient! Would recommend to friends.

How can you miss this spot? In fact,the hottest spot in Chicago. Their menu can be quite extensive, but you were definitely want to try their steaks and seafood towers are a most. So much to mention, but one thing I can guarantee you if you’ll be delighted by an outstanding service at phenomenal dishes. My favorites. Hot seafood tower make you key your server know that you want the whole show. Their steaks Carpaccio Sashimi & tataki dishes Ask the sushi chef for the fav rolls Now you like wine? They have plenty Tequila? Mezcal? Their beverage program and options is top notch.

I walked into Maple & Ash with the highest of expectations to celebrate my birthday dinner. The steakhouse glowed with dim lighting and the soft flickering of candlelight, giving it an elegant and refined feel. The waiter led us to our table where we were greeted with a menu that was personalized with my name and birthday wishes. A small gesture, but it made me feel special. As we settled in, the waiter brought out a handful of potato chips that were accompanied by a French onion dip and caviar. It was an upscale take on a classic chip and dip but with a little extra flair. I eagerly scooped up a chip with the dip, anticipating the taste of caviar. Unfortunately, the flavor was lost amidst the other ingredients. Still, the chips were complimentary, so I couldn't complain! Next up were the appetizers, and I couldn't resist trying the beef tenderloin steak tartare with sourdough bread. It was a perfect blend of flavors that melted in my mouth. The French onion soup was equally impressive, creamy, tangy, and cheesy. I could feel my taste buds doing a happy dance with every spoonful. For the main course, I ordered the Maple & Ash Surf & Turf, which came with a 6 oz filet mignon and half a lobster. The filet was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, but it wasn't quite as good as my homemade steaks. The highlight of the night was the lobster mac and cheese. Initially, we ordered it without lobster, but our waiter suggested adding some. It was only later that we found out that the few pieces of lobster added a $30 charge! Regardless, it was the best mac and cheese we had ever tasted. The service was professional, with the waitstaff treating us like royalty. They were attentive and informative, making the experience all the more enjoyable. The ambiance of the restaurant was loud and bustling, with a dressy atmosphere that made us feel like we were at a fancy gala. It may be pricey, but the experience is well worth it for special occasions. I can't wait to come back and indulge in that lobster mac and cheese again.

From the moment we stepped into the door we were welcomed by every staff member that we passed. If you booked for the dining room you are directed to walk to the elevator and take it to the next floor up. We went at 9:45pm on a weekend so the bar that was in the dining room was packed with people in front of it. The dining room was loud and had barely any lighting. All the tables had candlesticks lighting them up. It was a beautiful atmosphere. We were immediately greeted by our waiter. We were celebrating a birthday so our server had brought a custom menu with my name on it wishing me a happy birthday along with a free cocktail for the table to enjoy. Our server was very attentive and we didn't have to wait long to order drinks or our food. A bowl of creme fraiche with caviar on top and potato chips was served to the table while we waited for our food (which was really fast!). Everything tasted amazing, especially the filet mignon. It was seared perfectly and served already cut up for us. Once a plate was finished it was immediately removed out of our way to reduce the amount of clutter on the table. We ordered the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert and it tasted amazing! Overall the experience was beautiful and enjoyable and I would love to come here again at the next chance I get.

This spot is outrageously amazing! Everything from start to finish is an experience. Aesthetically there is a romantic, but small club vibe. Music playing, & candles lit on every table all. A++++ for the ambiance. Our waitress, Casey, was energetic, sweet and very attentive! We loved her! She greeted me with a complimentary caviar onion dip, and a cocktail for my birthday. And to top it off, a funny custom made menu. Nice twist! I brought it back home with me. This place is pricey, so come prepared to drop a little something, something. However it’s not just a spot to eat- it’s an experience! Let’s talk about the food! Filet (16oz) bone in- B- it was dry, and the steak was cooked well done to medium rare. Not a very good jobs It didn’t taste horrible, we asked for butter and it completely helped it out. The outside portion of the steak was too charcoal and I think that’s what made it dry. Bone-In Rib Eye (22oz)- A+++ amazing, juicy, cooked to perfection & flavorful. Mac & Cheese is crazy good!!! Fries- On Point! A La seafood tower- SOOOOOO GOOD Dessert- I can’t remember, but i think it was a chocolate cake , almond crust, with ice cream. DELICIOUS!

Elegant steakhouse experience with some hits and misses. While shopping around the area, my friend and I saw their nice patio area and decided to give them a try. During our Sunday afternoon visit, we were pleasantly surprised to find that walk-ins were accommodated, so we easily grabbed a table without a wait. We kicked off our meal with Bay Scallop Rockefeller - scallops smothered in creamed spinach, Parmesan, and Pernod. However, we were disappointed to find the scallops noticeably small, overshadowed by the rich sauce. Given the price point, the portion size felt lacking, and it seemed as though the sauce was compensating for the lack of substance in the scallops. Next up was the Salmon Miso Roll. This sushi roll, ironically, turned out to be the highlight of our meal at the steakhouse. At its core, it featured the classic pairing of salmon and avocado, with a drizzle of eel sauce. What made this roll exceptional, however, were the crispy strands of burdock and the umami notes of the miso. The crunch and the smokiness added dimensions that truly elevated the dish. For our main course, we opted for the Filet Mignon. While the presentation was elegant, the steak itself was a disappointment. The cut was thinner than we expected, and worse yet, it was overcooked to a medium-well despite asking for a medium-rare, robbing it of its natural juiciness. The edges were tough, leaving us questioning the value. Overall, Maple & Ash offers a beautiful setting with some noteworthy dishes. However, beware that some of the steaks and high-ticket items may not fully live up to expectations.
