    Eggplant napoleon was Amazing!! We had coconut shrimp and scallops…delish. Had the sea bass, it was ok. Not as tender as I am use to. Service was good. Too many good sounding things to choose from. Great problem to have!

    This was a great dining experience! We reserved for lunch with plans to order one of their entrees or salads but that all suddenly changed. We each ordered Bloody Marys which was like a drink with an appetizer sampler! So awesome! Ended up with the grilled artichoke which was perfect and finished it up with dessert. All were very good. Can’t wait to return!

    There is a reason Pangaea is the best Carmel for the last 3 years! The food was excellent, the service enhanced the dining experience, and it epitomizes the charm of the Town!

    Our wait person, Haven, was absolutely charming, attentive, knowledgable and humorous. The appetizers & dessert were excellent. All four entrees were just a bit above average. Disappointing.

    The location and inside of the restaurant was wonderful but the food was okay. I’m not a huge fan of fusions to begin with but I was hoping that this place was going to exceed my expectations. The cocktails and poke appetizer were delicious but the rest of our food was a little bland. Overall, we were a little disappointed with the food considering how expensive they are.

    Overcharging on bill, make sure you recall menu prices when your bill comes and verify amounts are correct. First night here was an amazing experience, the second time was mediocre. I feel like the manager from the first night we were there was very involved and ensuring everyone was well taken care of.

    There was a real loud party going on that virtually emptied out all the other patrons from the restaurant. Our group repeatedly asked management to have the party lower their voices a bit. To no avail, it was a very frustrating experience. To make matters worse the food was fair at best.

    This restaurant always has the best food and nicest staff! One of the best places to visit in Carmel for a nice dinner or date night. The Thai Coconut Curry is one of the best meals on the whole menu. The Lavender Lemonade Martini is also phenomenal. I highly recommend to anyone who is visiting!!
