Came to NY for work and stumbled upon this GEM in downtown Brooklyn. Carlos is running an incredible Chef’s Table experience, better than any Michelin star restaurant I’ve been to in Chicago.My S.O and I had a romantic evening paired with hand picked wines from Carlos himself and an exceptional tasting menu. First time I left a fine dining experience FULL. The food was not only a work of art but an educational experience created with the highest quality ingredients available!

It's our second time we have dinner at Maison Sun. We really like the small size counter with the owner / sommelier doing the service. We like the personal touches, interactions, etc. The wine pairing is amazing. The food is very creative while remaining delicious , tasty, and goes to your heart. Original and yummy. I am shocked that they don't have a Michelin star yet. In our eyes it deserves 2 Michelin stars.

Such a cool spot! Rented out the whole place for a birthday. Food was insane, even for vegetarians. Wine was out of this world. Dope ambiance with an open kitchen.

Having been fortunate enough to enjoy meals at a number of phenomenal fine dining establishments, this stands amongst the best!The great company we enjoyed the meal with made it all the more special but the food experience was exquisite, without the awkward stuffiness of white tablecloth establishments… the tasting course was memorable, delicious, elegantly and lovingly crafted within eyeshot, and wonderfully put together. Stylishly served, with all of the staff authentically enthusing and describing dishes, and amplified by excellent wines lovingly paired by the friendliest of sommeliers.They also easily accommodated my wife’s pescatarian diet with delicious alternatives - the truffled buckwheat pasta was truly delicious, I had to steal some! The Wagyu beef was phenomenal and a real treat!This place is too new to have those pesky Michelin stars but they deserve them. I suspect getting a reservation here will get increasingly difficult, and deservedly so. Go now, while you can. And thank you to the whole team who prepared and served us such a wonderful dining experience.

Really amazing meal! Great atmosphere, wonderful food, and really cool to watch the chef prepare all the food in front of us!
Right now, this place is Brooklyn’s best kept secret (but not for long)! Most incredible dinner we’ve had in a very long time — and we’re NYC food snobs. This place deserves 3 Michelin stars. The incredibly thoughtful service alone was enough to warrant a return visit. But the food and drink — wow, so so so inventive and memorable. We were blown away. Book your reservation right now — this place is going to have a long waitlist pretty soon!
Exquisite food. High class service. This place is a hidden

Went here for my birthday, and didn't know what to expect, since there was so little about it. First, Maison Sun is run by a small team that rents out a few locations to make food. These places are not very big, and some are a bit informal tbh, like studio apartment. As such, they are not decorated or feel as if they are heavily invested environments for restaurants.The food overall was ok. I thought the cooking level was high, and everything was in order of what you'd expect from fine dining. But there was not that much food (I was pretty hungry after), and the only supplement of the day was a Snow Beef that apparently only Masa can source, that was astronomically priced at $200 for something like 6oz. The wine selection is "all you can drink" or something like that. For people who complained about small pours, the half pour is pretty standard at most restaurants, so you don't have a heaping pour and you can fill as needed. But for me, the main disappointment about the wine selection was what we got to drink. Everything is around $60-70, but it's wines you can find at Astor's or a nearby wine store. I did corkage and brought my own Riesling and felt that it overpowered all the wines we had on the day.The price to come to Maison Sun is very very high and I wouldn't recommend this unless you are able to book the entire team for a night and do some very custom things like a proposal or a birthday party. You will get better value from just going to an actual fine dining restaurant.

Maison Sun is located in the Boerum Hill 'hood and offers a modern French fare.We came here to check out their winter tasting menu, which included:+Beausoleil Oyster - with royal osetra caviar and sorrel+Anson Mills Blue Corn Grits - with trout roe, celeriac, and perigord black truffle+Murasaki Sea Urchin - with brown butter foam+Pink Mao Mao Fish - with celtuce, cucumber, and avocado+Butternut Squash Soup - with porcini jam and a brioche with saffron butter+Spanish Otoro Bluefin Tuna - with roasted pine nut puree and watermelon radishes+Squab - with pomme robuchon and vallee d'auge sauce+Hokkaido "Snow Beef" A5 Wagyu au Poivre - this was added as a supplementThe desserts included the Blackberry Nitro Sorbet (with creme de cassis) and the Basque Cheesecake (with black sesame ice cream).Service was great, and the items were presented well. The ambiance of the restaurant is very sophisticated and intimate, and I liked the wrap-around counter seating of the kitchen.+friendly service
