        <content>Did any of the esteemed readers of this forum (who got on the waiting list) get a reservation date yet, or did everyone just get the "We'll call you again when we start taking reservations" phone call?

      <content>They called a few weeks ago and said they would call when they were ready to take reservations.  Then, I got a phone call last night that they were ready to give me a reservation.  I called today and have a table for a Friday evening in August.  </content>

      <content>I'm going there this evening with much trepidation after all of the mediocre reviews.  I wonder if it is not good or if it is simply not transporting.</content>

      <content>Well?  We're all (well, some of us are) waiting to hear your take on Ducasse.  How was it?</content>

      <content>I tried Alain Ducasse's restaurant a little over a month ago.  Believe me, it is NOT worth it! The food was good, and service was excellent (as it should be for a high-end restaurant) but the food didn't blow me away. I've had far better food at other places in NYC at 1/3 the price. 
Trust me, you are not missing out.</content>

      <content>I'm booked for Monday July 3rd. Never been to the ones abroad so it will be my first time eating his food. I have been on the other side having served Chef Ducasse dinner about a year ago.</content>
