Boston's Newest Steakhouse Features Roasted Seafood Towers

"Danny Grant describes Maple & Ash as a 'wood-fired restaurant that happens to serve steak,' aiming to differentiate from traditional steakhouses. The ambiance features elegant candelabras and sheer black curtains, creating a unique dining experience."

"Grant emphasizes a focus on foodies and women, contrasting with older steakhouses that often present a very masculine atmosphere. He notes, 'There's a place for that; I love going to an old-school steakhouse.'"

"The restaurant's success has led to expansions beyond Chicago, with locations in Miami, Scottsdale, and now Boston. Maple Hospitality Group also operates other concepts, including a wood-fired Italian restaurant and an Amalfi Coast-inspired venue."

Founded by Danny Grant and Jim Lasky in 2015, the restaurant targets foodies and women, contrasting with the traditional masculine steakhouse experience. The concept has proven successful, leading to expansions in Miami, Scottsdale, and now Boston, alongside other culinary ventures.
