   This was our first trip to Pangaea. We have wanted to try it and my birthday fell on a Monday. Many restaurants are closed on Mondays but since they are open, we thought we would give them a visit. I think Monday represents some challenges in the restaurant world because I wanted to order a glass of prosecco, they didn't have that on the menu but they had a cava, which I also enjoy. It turned out they were out of that and then all substitutes I tried. The manager did bring a half glass of blush sparkling wine by on the house. He explained the issue with selling out of sparkling on the weekend and the distributor delivery not having arrived. That was great save! The food was tasty overall. The meat dishes were a little salty for us but the veggie or mixed dishes were very creative and well seasoned. Standouts were the plantain gnocchi, the watermelon tataki (which really surprisingly resembled tuna in both appearance and taste), and the beet and kale salad. The cabbage that accompanied the pork belly was very good and would make a great stand alone dish. The ube cheesecake was also delicious. Delicately flavored and not cloyingly sweet as some desserts can be. The value was stellar for the quality. We ate mostly tapas style but the 3 course dinner offered many choices and considerable savings if you want starter, entree and dessert. Thanks for a great experience and we look forward to adding this spot to our list of go tos, especially on a Tanger night.

   Lovely space, awesome service, phenomenal food, with what my husband and I think is very reasonable pricing considering the quality you get. Definitely plan to come back many times - so many other intriguing items on their menu to try.

   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.
