Your Table Is Ready: Tales of a New York City Maître D'

Your Table Is Ready is a front-of-house Kitchen Confidential from a career maître d'hotel who manned the front of the room in New York City's hottest and most in-demand restaurants.

This book takes readers on a journey through some of the most exclusive and vibrant restaurants in the city, including Raoul's in Soho, Buzzy O’Keefe’s casually elegant River Café, Keith McNally’s Minetta Tavern, and Nolita’s Le Coucou.

With a focus on the inner workings of the restaurant industry, Your Table Is Ready provides an insider's perspective on how restaurants really run (and don’t), as well as the economics that affect both owners and staff.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the world of fine dining and the unique culture of New York City's restaurant scene.
