We had a wonderful experience with the standout being the excellent oysters. The garden is super cosy. Most of the staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, they also took their time to chat with us (without being intrusive) however one of the waiters gave us an incorrect explanation of the non-alcoholic drinks.

Highly recommend and definitely make a reservation beforehand! Walk up wait times were around 2 hours on a Saturday night. The hostess, Sarah, was beyond incredible in helping to accommodate our group and she made our night! The ambiance in the back patio especially on a warm night is incredible. We did family style for several dishes on the menu and loved each one - our waiter helped to group them into courses for a good flow and table space. Seafood was fresh and food and flavors were well prepared. Inside seating seemed a little loud but still great vibe.

If you're a fan of oysters and absinthe, this spot is a must-visit! They offer an impressive selection of oysters and cocktails that never disappoint. The lobster is also a standout, packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. While we've never sat down for a full meal, we always make it a point to stop by for a quick drink, and it never fails to impress. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy fresh seafood and expertly crafted drinks!

Fresh high quality oysters! This place delivers a superb gastronomical punch and it has a very cozy tropical garden to go with it in the back! Pretty romantic spot! Influenced by New Orleans cuisine. Light jazz music playing and perfectly synchronized waters roam around to deliver an efficient service. The place is pricey but worth the price! Excellence and swag in the middle of Williamsburg!

A great deal of effort has gone into cultivating the atmosphere here. I went on a hot day and felt like I was in a New Orleans French bistro. The restaurant/bar is a fun place to chill and the patio is even better.

The garden courtyard is one of the most charming dining settings in Brooklyn — peaceful, filled with greenery, and thoughtfully designed. It’s easy to lose track of time here. The oysters were a highlight, especially the Ichiban, Mintersweet, and Black Magic. They were fresh, sweet, and clean — exactly the style I prefer. The seafood dishes were also excellent. The lobster roll was buttery and soft, paired nicely with the house-made chips. The crab toast was light, fresh, and well-balanced. The cocktails were beautifully presented and thoughtfully crafted, with bright, clean flavors and creative garnishes. Service throughout was attentive, kind, and knowledgeable without ever feeling rushed or scripted. Maison Premiere delivers on food, drinks, and atmosphere — I’d absolutely recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing, quality dining experience in Brooklyn.

Really cool New Orleans style bar showcasing absinth and oysters. The cocktails were great and the garden was beautiful. Extra cool: they have an absinth fountain!
