Chef's Catering Kitchen & Private Dining Room

Spacious catering kitchen at Maison 78 with double-height ceilings, marble island and backsplash, modern pendant lights, and large windows facing the Upper East Side.

Elevated Entertaining

Maison 78's stunning, chef-ready catering kitchen and private dining room blends grand scale with a welcoming atmosphere that suits everything from intimate dinners to full-scale celebrations. Double-height ceilings amplify the sense of space, drawing the eye upward to sculptural chandeliers that glow softly over the room. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame UES skyline views and bathe the entire space in natural light by day, transitioning into a shimmering backdrop after dark.

The catering kitchen is both a design statement and a functional workspace. A dramatic island with bold veining anchors the room, paired with a matching full-height stone backsplash that creates a seamless, gallery-like focal point. Integrated appliances—including paneled refrigeration and sleek, built-in storage—keep the look clean and refined. A bar-height overhang at the island provides additional seating for casual conversations or chef-led tastings, while pendant lights suspended at varying heights add a sculptural elegance.

Just beyond the kitchen, the private dining table sits at the center of the room like a refined gathering point. The long, modern table comfortably seats a large group, grounded by a soft, textured rug that adds warmth and definition. Surrounding lounge seating—including deep green chairs positioned near the windows—creates small pockets for pre-dinner cocktails or post-meal conversations. Warm wood paneling lines the walls, balancing the marble’s cool tones and giving the entire room a tailored, sophisticated feel.

Every detail is considered: soft drapery that filters light, brass accents that glow, and artful lighting fixtures that double as sculptural décor. With views stretching across the neighborhood and materials that feel both luxurious and welcoming, it's a space designed to elevate every gathering.
