    We were visiting the area and were drawn to the menu. The food was amazing. We were all sad that this was our last night and we could not return to try more of the menu.

    Unfortunately it wasn’t the best experience for us. None of these were major issues, hence the solid rating, but expectations are a bit elevated when you’re paying about $100 per person. + Service was slow and had minor mistakes + One drink order was missing a specific request + Two bottles of wine on the wine list were not available (the second was specifically recommended) + Two drink orders were super slow + The snow crab was partially frozen + One steak was ordered med rare and came out med well + The gravy on the ribeye should be underneath - you can’t see the steak so you sometimes end up eating the fat or gristle. So, not entirely thrilled. On the plus side, the flavors on every dish were pretty great and service seemed to get progressively better as the evening progressed.

    Food is not great and over priced for the quality The bar is something you would see on the TV Bar Rescue show. They don’t have a real bar tender. The same guy that was supposed to tend bar was also assigned table on the restaurant floor to serve! Chef was behind bar! Do not waste your money or reservation.

    Hi Amy Thank you for your visit and for sharing your thoughts. We’re sorry to hear the experience didn’t meet your expectations, but we’d like to respectfully clarify a few things. Our bartender is not only highly trained but also one of the most valued members of our team — widely regarded as one of the best in town. The reason he occasionally covers a section on the floor is because we believe in equal opportunity for all staff to earn, especially when the bar is slow. As for the chef, he was simply engaging with guests — including a fellow restaurant owner — as part of the personal hospitality we’re proud to offer. We assure you, nothing was out of place in that moment. Juan owner Pangaea Bistro & Bar

    Wonderful girls dinner on a Friday night with reservation. The $55 three course meal is a great deal! Had snow crab legs, seafood cioppino and ube cheesecake for one set and watermelon tataki, seafood risotto and apple pie Mille fuille for the other. Had a special 20% odd bottles of wine! The main courses were very flavorful but overstated. Otherwise the food was beautiful and delicious. Good ambiance. Not too busy on a Friday.

    This is my second time here and if I lived in Greensboro I would eat here weekly. We travel extensively and the food at Pangaea top anything we’ve had even internationally. The staff is wonderful and engaging and very knowledgeable about the origins of the food they serve and the wine list… which is also pretty great. I give it my highest rating!

    Our first experience at Pangea was amazing! The small plates were creative and presentation was fantastic! The wine list is extensive and pairs well what is truly a globally inspired menu. Every plate was unique with outstanding flavor. Great to see great tapas-style restaurants re-emerging in Greensboro! Our waiter Alex was fantastic with a great personality and excellent recommendations. The owner stopped by several times to check on us and added a personal touch, giving us some history on the restaurant. Looking forward to going back!
