Maison Premiere

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the restaurant Maison Premiere in Williamsburg, NYC, USA. An outstanding seafood restaurant in the heart of Williamsburg — a true hidden gem! The entrance has a bit of a speakeasy vibe — there’s a small sign, but you need to look carefully to find it, and you enter through swinging saloon-style doors, which immediately set the mood. Inside, you’re transported to another decade: a beautiful oval bar, dim, jazzy lighting, and tables set close together, creating a lively and intimate atmosphere. Service was excellent — efficient and knowledgeable. We tried a selection of four different oysters, all fresh and unique, perfectly recommende

It’s top-notch for oysters. But we never expect the oysters from East Coast become our favourite! We were giving a try on the Thatch Island oysters, and we kind of having least expectations on them. Yet after the first bite, they were do fresh and balanced in the creaminess and crispness. The flavor cames earthly and mineral but also sweet! They are the no.1 of the day! We ordered the Dirty Rice and we thought it was just like a risotto. But it’s more than that! It’s rich in favour of Japanese Bonito and lobster, savoury and tasty! The Crab Toast was comparatively less among all. All dishes we paired with a glass of French Rose and the Forever IPA. This restaurant is now the top of my list in seafood bar of NYC!

Carling was a delight! Exceptional recommendations and just a lovely ever throughout the evening. The “In the Pines” was fantastic and the atmosphere, meal and drinks were all curated perfectly. My roommate and I had a truly wonderful evening and appreciate the attentiveness and hospitality of the staff 🫶

This oyster and wine bar truly surprised me! Even though I couldn’t drink because of some inflammation, I couldn’t resist coming here with my friend just for the oysters. Ambience: From the outside it looks like a small bar, but once you step in, it’s a whole different world. The décor is pure 1920s vintage style, and all the staff and bartenders are dressed in retro outfits—so stylish! The backyard is absolutely charming, to the point where I even thought, “I’d love to have a wedding here someday.” Food experience: We ordered the oyster platter and tried every kind they had. To my surprise, the smallest oysters (I think the third from the last) turned out to be the most delicious—absolutely amazing! And I have to give a huge shoutout to their sourdough bread. It was chewy, moist, not dr

Enjoy stopping by this absinthe bar when in NYC. Tonight we stopped in after a dinner out to enjoy a cocktail and dessert. Tonight I tried my first ever Hot Toddy and to say I’m a fan does not do it justice. Delicious. For dessert we tried the ice cream-3 flavors (olive oil, fig and cardamom if I remember correctly) and Madelines. Food and drinks were very good, service was off tonight but they made up for it.
