My daughter had mac and cheese, which was ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. It had the consistency of Cream of Wheat. I had tuna sald plate, which believe i or not was DELISH!!! The BEST part of the meal was that the check came to 18.00 with tip!! Can't beat that near Staples. We were also in and out of there in 15 minutes. Thank you all for your help, and with driving directions as well. I took Olympic ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the way down from West LA!!! And by the way, the average age of the concertgoers was 7. They sold cotton candy!!! But..that Constantine sure reminds me of my old love David Cassidy. : ) Thu Aug 18 12:57:59 -0700 2005 0 Saralee 1 397105 I think The Pantry is probably best for breakfast (the grilled sourdough toast is really good!)

Of course with your meal you will receive the relish bowl and a big chunk of sourdough. When thinking of The Pantry, think: "two hots and a cot".

It's a place for manly steaks, hot coffee and apple pie, not tuna salads. The ambience was there, it just flew right over your head.

The waiters are very friendly and attentive. I'll go there at any time of day. My daughter enjoys breakfast more because of the mini hotcakes they make for her :) I might just head there for dinner tonight :) Thu Aug 18 18:02:05 -0700 2005 397083 0 Marvz 1 397165 you eat WAY too fast! Thu Aug 18 18:30:53 -0700 2005 397083 0 jill 2 397186 Yeah, I noticed that too! Thu Aug 18 19:14:49 -0700 2005 397165 0 Marvz 1 397241 I have enjoyed the Pantry. But, that said, I wouldn't consider a meal a bargain at any price that I enjoyed as little as you enjoyed yours. Thu Aug 18 22:28:23 -0700 2005 397083 0 Dorothy 1 397280 Mac and cheese? Tuna salad? No, no, no....you did it wrong. Go back right this minute and order up a nice slab of meat, maybe a T-bone. Some taters. Oh, and skip the poor excuse for a steamed brocolli they will give you in a vain attempt to pretend they understand things green and vegetal. Fri Aug 19 03:59:44 -0700 2005 397083 0 Noclue
