Overall, reviews describe Pangea as a stylish, high-energy venue that blends dining with a club vibe, where the food is generally good, cocktails are popular, and the service can be exceptional, though portions may be small and prices feel high to some guests. The atmosphere is repeatedly praised for being lively and sophisticated, with strong music and striking décor that suit celebrations or group nights. The staff are noted as warm and attentive when the team is fully staffed, making guests feel welcome and taken care of, especially for special occasions. However, some visits are marred by slow service and understaffing, a tense coat check experience, or price-to-value concerns, and a few guests report pressure around tipping. Pangea is widely seen as a good option for birthdays, girls nights, and other celebrations, with many enjoying the energy and vibe, while others point to occasional inconsistencies.
This place has good potential but I think it opened up a little too early. The staff tries their best but you can tell that they are pretty inexperienced (particularly the waitresses & bartenders). The service is extremely slow despite the fact that it was 2/3rd empty. We went around 8. It took almost an hour for the 3 of us to get one cocktail each (& they arrived at very different times (at least in that time our water was refilled 10 times lol). Charging 16$ a cocktail when there is no presentation, poor glasses choices (martinis in champagne flutes) & way too much sugar is not a vibe. Not to mention the flagrant lipstick marks on the rim of my glasses. I wouldn’t really trust eating there….the decor is cool. Probably would be better at night for just bottle service & bar rail!
Après avoir entendu tellement de mauvais commentaires j’appréhendais vraiment. Mais finalement ce n’était pas si mal. Endroit cute, mélange de Bazart & Yoko Luna je dirais. Par contre il n’y avait personne. La section en haut était fermé & celle du bas était a peine rempli. La musique par contre j’ai adoré par contre pendant le souper on ne s’entendait pas parler. Pour la nourriture je n’ai pas aimé mais c’était moins pire que ce a quoi je m’attendais mais pas top quand même. Ambiance inexistante. Expérience globale 4/10. Je n’y retournerai pas.
The interior decor & the terasse is very nice. The food was surprisingly good. I was there during an event so we had the table d'hote for $75 (drinks not included). I was mostly surprised by the garlic sauce (toum). It was garlic-y & delicious as it should be. The drinks, however are expensive.
The waitress was very kind & attentive. She came over to our table to assure us that our order is not forgotten, when there was some delay from the kitchen.
Overall a good experience.
Je suis bien déçu de cette sortie à ce restaurant, le menus semblait bon & la soirée avec invité de A.j des Backstreet Boys étais une super idée.
mais sa semble avoir été difficile en cuisine… notre réservation était à 20h & nous avons reçu notre entrée a 22h & notre repas principal a 23h10 & n’avons jamais eu de dessert… la nourriture bien ordinaire & une facture qui n’arrive pas, aucun rabais n’a été offert & des tables autour de nous non même pas eu leurs souper. La serveuse avait l’aire d’avoir envie de pleurer & semblais désemparé.
Had an great time at Pangea, the vibes, food & drinks were good, but the highlight was our waitress Isabella who really went above & beyond to make our night perfect. The restaurant was extremely busy but she still checked up on us with her beautiful smile & the most amazing attitude, & made sure each of us had what we wanted. Thank you Isabella! � Definitely would go back & recommend this restaurant
Went on a whim last Saturday, was more than surprise, a1 food, drinks & service. Got to talk to one of the owner, a very nice man that care about his guests. Same with the bartender that served me all night.
110% will go back to live the experience again.

Organized my sister's bachelorette here & honestly it was such a vibe!! The food was amazing & we had such a good time!! Thanks to Rocco & all the amazing staff 🙌
We had an absolutely blast at Pangea.
The food was outstanding, & the service was impeccable. Rocco & the entire waitstaff were incredibly friendly & made us feel so welcomed. The vibes were just perfect. I will definitely be returning!
Loved this place! Went here for a friend’s bachelorette party. Service was great, food was delicious (I took the sea bass), & entertainment was great as well. Shoutout to Rocco for making it an unforgettable evening!
I recently went for a bachelorette party. Upon reading the reviews, I really had no expectations, fully anticipating eating subpar food. I was pleasantly surprised, however. The food was actually very good, the portion size was large, the plates were nicely presented, & the server was friendly & helpful.
We were there at close to 9pm, so the music was starting to get pretty loud by the end. It got to the point where you had to really project your voice to be heard. While that is not my cup of tea, I'm sure it appeals to many.
I would return if they operate on weekdays with quieter music. Overall, it was still a perfectly suitable location for the occasion & it was an enjoyable experience.

I went to Pangea recently for a Bachelorette dinner. The decor & ambiance is beautiful & the bar is spectacular. We had a fixed menu & the food was very good - lots of flavours. The best was their olive oil cake - really delicious. Their drink menu is also very good, with many house cocktails which were all tasty. The manager Rocco was a great host, checked on us most of the night & even treated us to a round of shots. He was very personable & nice with us. We really enjoyed him. The place turns into a supper club at around 11:30 - with bottle service to the tables. There was place to dance & enjoy drinks. All around, Pangea was a great place of your looking for good food & a good time in the city. There are two things that they fell short with & that was:
1. The salad did not have nuts listed as an ingredient on the menu but came in the salad. TG I tasted them before a highly allergic friend took a bite. Even when we informed the waitress she stated it’s listed on the menu but it was not - despite this, she also brought out a dessert garnished with nuts again to the same guest. This was disappointing.
2. The music was ok. The crowd got lively with ABBA & other fun Danae music came on, but there was too much lyricless danse music for my liking - different genres like reggae Ron or RNB would have been fun also, but this is more personal opinion. Many people were dancing to whatever was playing.
Fortunately, we got our food & drinks fast. A little over priced though, which is understandable because of the location & the type of restaurant.
Guests were boring, & depressing, wearing black & not dancing. We didn’t feel the vibe. I think the DJ should encourage the guests to get up & dance to create positive energy.
Love this spot. Food is stellar, staff & especially the hostess Julia are total pros. Design & decor top of the line. Would highly recommend for any occasion.
On est allé au Pangea sur un coup de tête & la serveuse Isabella nous a très bien accueilli & servie. L’ambiance était superbe avec un violoniste, lumières, etc … Le tartare au saumon était délicieux.
