My boyfriend and I decided to go to NDN last Thursday evening. We we arrived, we saw a couple of empty tables. But, the maitre'd told us that the wait would be about 30 mins. When we told him that we'd wait, he said ""maybe even 45 mins"". We were OK with that as well since there aren't many restaurants we could go in the neighborhood.
While we were waiting outside, we noticed that there was no one else waiting outside. Plus, there were several people that walked in and got seated right away. As they had a ""first come first serve"" policy, we thought it was really weird that they didn't have to wait either. We then realized that the people were slipping the maitre'd money!
Although the food here is good, slipping the maitre'd money is something i would NEVER succumb to.
Pros: Food
Cons: Poor service, Must pay the maitred
