FOOD	25	Charlie's pantry combines fresh ingredients with interesting combinations to create delectable salads, sandwiches, entrees and European style pastries. The drinks at Charlie's pantry are especially unique, bringing together flavors you would never imagine, like pineapple and spinach in the "Jamaican Popeye." The display is filled with chicken salads, tuna salads, and other freshly made meat and vegetable combinations that bring a fresh southern-californian flair to an otherwise European styled restaurant. Overall, the food was perfect for a refreshing lunch, and the Banana Mocha cake is definitely a new favorite.
DÉCOR	23	The decoration within Charlie's pantry was not over-extravagant, but had a simplistic and dreamy style to it on the inside, which was combined with a very classic looking patio area. The color scheme within the restaurant was a nice mix of white and wood, very classy but not spectacular by any means.
SERVICE	20	Service was sub-par in some instances. When you enter the restaurant, you go up to the cashier and order, and then are given a number and patiently wait for your food to arrive. Some things came out quickly, and other things took much longer. Additionally, if the person in front of you in line took too long at the cashier, as there was only one cashier, your wait time could be extremely extensive.
COST	25	The cost was fairly normal by Los Angeles standards, but the caesar salad with salmon came out to eighteen dollars, and the overall meal came out to around 40, before dessert, 48 including dessert, which was a little steep for a casual lunch.
