Maple & Ash Miami Officially Opens

Miami’s dynamic dining scene has just reached a new pinnacle of luxury and innovation with the arrival of Maple & Ash, the acclaimed steakhouse concept from Maple Hospitality Group. The visionary team behind Maple & Ash, Eight Bar, Monarch, and Kessaku has expanded its award-winning portfolio by opening a flagship location in Downtown Miami’s Miami Worldcenter. This two-story, 22,000-square-foot venture is the group’s most ambitious project yet, blending culinary mastery, unparalleled hospitality, and unrestrained luxury. While Eight Bar and The Studio are set to open at a later date, Maple & Ash is already making waves as a must-visit destination.

At the helm of Maple & Ash is Chef Danny Grant, a two-MICHELIN-starred culinary expert who has brought his signature wood-fired steakhouse experience to Miami. Originally launched in Chicago’s Gold Coast in 2015 and later expanding to Scottsdale, Arizona in 2019, Maple & Ash has redefined the modern steakhouse with a balance of sophistication and vibrant energy.
