A Maitre d' is pretty much the restaurant manager, or head of the waiters/waitresses and hosts/hostesses at a nice restaurant. Hence the title - "maitre" means "master" in French.

It's correctly spelled Maitre d'. The nicer restaurants use that title, but generally the typical title of the person you'll be seated by is a host/hostess.

A maitre d' is used in more formal restaurants whereas the common term would be host or hostess.

The host or hostess, depending on the gender. At classy restaurants, it's called the maitre'de. Same function, however.
