| - I stopped by the Pantry for a mid-afternoon snack of Handcrafted Donut Holes and Potato Wedges. The donut holes were excellent!!! 5-stars worthy and I wish I'd taken a picture. Expertly made, soft, fluffy, perfect amount of sugar all around. The order was much bigger than I expected... good bang for the buck. The wedges were also good, but it ended up being too much food.
On another visit I ordered the White Chocolate Brioche French Toast, which had an excellent presentation with mixed berries, berry compote, a touch of whipped mascarpone, and syrup. Unfortunately, the taste didn't match the looks. The bread didn't taste cooked fully, the berries didn't mix well with the syrup (perhaps they were out of season), and the French Toast didn't have a White Chocolate flavor as advertised. The waiter said the bread was lightly dusted in white chocolate, but if I wanted to actually taste the chocolate I should have ordered the chocolate pancakes. Question: why use the phrase "White chocolate" French Toast? On the plus side, it was well portioned and a decent price (a few other things on the menu were in the steeper price category). I'd give this dish 3-stars.
