This is a very nice restaurant with very good food. The space is open and not crowded. The wine selection is very good and prices seem in line. Our server Alex was great. He was the only one working but took care of everyone. While my favorite was the gnocchi and chorizo everything we had was great. Rich flavors and good portions for a tapas stile meal. They also have a full plate menu for those that prefer that.
First time here, we opted for several small plates and a couple of entrees amongst friends to share. Owner was fantastic and chatted with us. Beer menu wasn't updated, but they had great options for what they were out of. Service was good, we didn't feel over or underserved by our waitress.
Made a reservation at Pangaea for my wife's birthday, and we had an absolutely phenomenal time here. The owner brought out glasses of champagne for us on the house to celebrate, our server was excellent, the patio was a nice, bustling atmosphere, and most importantly, the food was incredible. The Spaghettini Alle Vongole was a better Italian dish than most Italian restaurants I've eaten at, and my wife really enjoyed the Mushroom Ravioli. I hardly ever write reviews, positive or negative, but the experience here blew me away. For special occasions, we will definitely be returning!
WARNING. Do NOT make a reservation at this restaurant in case you cannot make it. You will be charged $50 per person in exchange for NOTHING if you have to cancel the day of the reservation.
We celebrated my wife’s birthday there with another couple and really enjoyed it, though we were one of the few tables occupying the restaurant. We like it enough that when my birthday came around, we decided to reserve a table for 6.
However, I fell very ill the day of and so my wife decided to postpone. She noticed a charge of $50 to cancel and hated to get dinged for an illness, so she called a couple of hour ahead of the reservation to explain only to be told, “Ma’am, it’s too late.”
What she didn’t realize though until the next day was that the charge was not just $50, it was $50 x 6 =$300.00 for canceling with less than 24 hours notice. She called to inquire about the charge and was told that there was nothing the restaurant could do, not even to offer some kind of food credit for another visit. What??? $300 just to hold a reservation? If my wife had realized, she might have gone without me or suggested I try to tough it out at the risk of making others in the restaurant sick. If she had gone without me, would they have charged $50 for me alone because I didn’t show?!?
This is beyond ludicrous, so we will not be returning. It’s really too bad that something outrageous like this takes the restaurant out of consideration for us because we really enjoy fine dining and liked our first visit. Their short-term gain was definitely their longer-term loss.
Very nice place with on point customer service, they just changed the menu (May 2025) the skirt steak was amazing. Definitely a place to come back.
Amazing service and food every time we dine here. We love everything on the menu. Juan and Alex always make it a great experience
The drinks, food, service and atmosphere, all were great. Very good food. Definitely recommend
Good food and ok drinks. Wish there was more info on the menu about allergies. Waitress seemed knowledgeable but then noted something wasn't gluten free because of the rice. The cocktails we ordered were sadly lackluster. Hibiscus fizz was easily 90% foam and the gin/peach cocktail was mostly lime. Would recommend this place for food but maybe skip the drinks.
The most incredible place. My wife and I Love it!!! Love the menu changing. So creative and artistic flare. Looking forward to returning to our favorite place!! Will and

I was so disappointed in our meal. I love the creativity of the menu, but the food was simply not good and certainly not worth the price. The potatoes in the papas bravas were undercooked, the yam balls had no seasoning, and the pork was overcooked and dry with virtually no sauce. Sadly, the service wasn't very good either as we told them we had an hour and a half before we needed to leave for the theatre, but our entree wasn't served until 70 minutes after we arrived. We left in a hurry without dessert. I want to like this place, but unfortunately I won't return and I can't recommend it to others.
