Though Dining Services’ Web site claims Pavilion XI is open until 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, visitors looking for a meal after 7 p.m. are often disappointed. By that time, the options many of the vendors offer have dwindled, and some of those vendors have closed entirely.
As closing time draws near, diners are limited to whatever sushi, pizza and salads are left over from the day. Cranberry Farms and the Energy Zone by Freshens, two of the Pav’s healthier options, often close early.
Of course the demand for food at the Pav drops off significantly after the early dinner rush, and it may be reasonable for the Pav to offer limited options later in the day. If that is the case, it should advertise the time at which its menu becomes limited, rather than leaving students to guess and fight among themselves for that last California roll.
