Review "I remember we were already deep into the development work of what would become the film The Great Gatsby, my team and I decided to take a long walk. That afternoon walk turned into a night-long journey through cocktails and seafood, laced with history and camaraderie, and in many ways, Im still on that journey. Maison Premiere is a world I escape into; a world full of stories, laughter and many, many memories."—Baz Luhrmann, director of The Great Gatsby and Elvis"Theres simply nothing like Maison Premiere: the incomparable cocktails, the delicious food, the meticulous attention to every single detail, the decor, the music, the energy. With this extraordinary book providing every secret inspiration, we can take more than just the wonderful memories home with us."—Sara Haines, cohost of The View and host of The Chase"No one is at Maison Premiere by accident, and everyone there (including the winning team) seems to be so pleased with themselves for choosing to spend a portion or all of their evening there. Had I ever heard of sazerac or absinthe before my first visit? Of course. Had I ever had a better version of either? Never."—Danny Meyer, founder of the Union Square Hospitality Group"Rarely does one find something that is genuine; not contrived, not based on a trend. Maison Premiere is from the heart. You can feel the magic the moment you walk in.

Maison Premiere has always followed a path of its own—sophisticated, historically informed, but never stuffy—and The Maison Premiere Almanac does the same. Its restrained, focused, and more than a little amusing, all things I wish I saw more of in modern drink books—or indeed books in general."—David Wondrich, editor-in-chief of The Oxford Companion to Spirits & Cocktails"Elegance, excellence, and quirky celebration have been the defining characteristics of the magical Maison Premiere in Williamsburg since the bar opened.
