What are the responsibilities and job description for the Maitre D' position at The View Restaurant & Lounge?
This winter, The View will reopen as a newly reimagined upscale dining destination housed within the New York Marriot Marquis.

Designed to be a vibrant escape from the hustle of Times Square, The View is excited to welcome both New Yorkers and visitors.
