Maple & Ash: A New Culinary Jewel in Miami
Miami's food scene is about to get even more lavish with the grand opening of Maple & Ash, a Chicago-based steakhouse, set for March 13, 2025. Nestled in the bustling Miami Worldcenter, this establishment promises not just a meal but an experience marked by "unrestrained luxury." With an expansive 22,000 square feet of space, it aims to redefine what Miami diners expect from a high-end restaurant.
Steakhouse Features That Shine
What sets Maple & Ash apart? Their menu features mouthwatering options like wood-fired, dry-aged porterhouses, wagyu beef carpaccio, and dramatic fire-roasted seafood towers. The centerpiece for their dining experience, the "I Don’t Give a F*@k" tasting menu, allows diners to entrust their culinary journey to the chefs, encouraging spontaneity and surprise in the dining experience.
Amid Controversies, Focus on Excellence
Despite facing a lawsuit alleging the misuse of $7.6 million in Paycheck Protection Program funds, the team remains steadfast in their dedication to quality and hospitality. A representative mentioned, "We have no comment on the pending lawsuit. Our focus remains on our restaurant concepts and our guests." This commitment will be crucial as they introduce a brand synonymous with indulgence into the already vibrant Miami dining sector.
The Vision Behind the Restaurant
Under the culinary leadership of Chef Danny Grant, the Miami location incorporates unique design elements aiming to make patrons feel at home yet transported to a new realm of luxury dining. With interiors adorned with luxury fabrics, candlelit tables, and a stunning chandelier—dubbed the Upside Palm featuring over 10,000 crystal beads—the ambiance alone sets the stage for unforgettable experiences.
Intimacy Reimagined at the Nooks
Another innovative feature at Maple & Ash Miami is the introduction of cozy "nooks" designed for intimate gatherings. For instance, Bar Bocuse offers a luxurious yet casual spot for caviar and cocktails, while Petit Bocuse invites diners to engage directly with the chefs, fostering a community dining atmosphere.
Interactive Dining Experiences
Guests can expect an extensive cocktail menu that includes extravagant offerings like the IDGAF Old Fashioned, where ingredients are elevated with aging whiskey and 24-karat gold. The menu aims to cater to both celebratory nights out and low-key evenings, showcasing the versatility of great dining.
Chef Danny Grant’s Approach
With a background in fine dining, Grant is excited to adapt the restaurant's offerings to suit the sunny Florida lifestyle. He stated, "We put a ton of energy into cooking perfectly." This commitment extends to their desserts, featuring innovative treats like the orange dreamsicle, which balances flavors that are fresh and bright.
Community Engagement and Future Prospects
Grant emphasizes the importance of becoming part of the Miami community, expressing his desire for diners to leave feeling valued and special. This marriage of fine dining with community spirit positions Maple & Ash not just as a place to eat, but as a heartbeat of culinary culture in Miami.
