"At Maison Premiere, you can drink an absolutely pristine cocktail by candlelight while enjoying all of the raw bar offerings your heart desires. One of the city's top cocktail spots for a while a now, this New Orleans-inspired place with antique nautical decor is a date-night classic, and it also works well for solo drink at the bar. There's a fantastic oyster selection, and there's also plenty of absinthe, in case you need to drink something that's a little more flammable." - bryan kim, kenny yang, nikko duren, matt tervooren, will hartman
