The hang up happened to me last year, completely frustrating!!
I got through at 7:40 and got Chefs De France for 12/1 for the 6:45pm show and LeCellier on 12/11 for the 5pm show. She said the LeCellier reservations were almost gone, but hey take that with a grain of salt. Good luck to all of you, I hope you get through quickly.
