I visited Pier F last month and it was my first visit since Sodexho took over. The Pantry offerings looked fairly similar to pre-Sodexho offerings, though I didn't actually try anything. So I can't comment on taste.

I did have a meal at the F restaurant and it was not as good as previous visits. The appetizer in particular was execrable.

The Lunch/Daytime Menu


Rice Noodles with Shredded Chicken
This was not good. Really bland and tasteless. One bite and pass. This could have been a good dish, but it was really terrible. The chicken was very tough (way overcooked) and the red onion was raw. Despite the description, there were zero cucumbers to be seen. Perhaps they ran out and thought that raw onion would be a good substitute for cucumbers. Really?

The noodles were fine, I guess, but the whole dish was just bad. It's like no one actually tasted it before deciding to serve it. If I were a chef, I'd be embarrassed to serve that.


Beef Burger
The burger itself was pretty good. Juicy and tasty. No complaints on that front. The fries were pathetic. They needed at least another few minutes in the fryer, as they came out oily and limp. They tasted fine, but completely lacked any crunch. Really a joke. How hard is it to actually fry the fries for the appropriate amount of time?


Yuzu Sorbet
Pretty good, but it's hard to mess up sorbet.
