About Maison Premiere Annex

Maison Premiere Annex brings the transportive, James Beard Award-winning atmosphere of its flagship Williamsburg location to the brownstone-lined streets of Carroll Gardens. Inspired by the evocative hotel lobbies of Old New York, the grand cafés of Paris, and the soulful spirit of New Orleans, this venue offers an unparalleled setting for seafood-centric celebrations. The aesthetic is defined by weathered elegance, featuring a signature horseshoe cocktail bar and a lush, "enchanted" garden that feels like a hidden sanctuary within Brooklyn.

Specializing in premium oysters, absinthe service, and meticulous cocktails, the Annex provides a sophisticated backdrop for private events. The cuisine focuses on the bounty of the sea, from towering seafood plateaus to large-format caviar service. Whether hosting an intimate winter dinner around a mahogany heirloom or a sprawling summer garden party, the venue excels at creating a sense of timeless luxury and theatrical hospitality.
