    Food was good, but not spectacular for the price. Steak was somewhat overcooked. Cheesecake and chocolate cake were goos. Mushroom ravioli was good. Service was good. Friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Wine by the glass was way too expensive.

    The rib eye steak was very good, the side dishes were good. I would recommend this restaurant for the value.

    Somewhat dismayed with the restaurant charging an additional 3.5% on the bill for using a credit card. Seemed a little tacky. Should just bake that into the price of the dishes.

    The service is impeccable, from the hostess seating us to the quick bussers to the very personable server: Elijah. Our happy hour drinks were attractive and tasted as they should. Pangaea Grill has a "Sunset Dinner" menu from 3- 5 pm. What a deal! You get 3 courses for $40. The food is well prepared and tasty. Tonight we ate the grilled chicken breast with artichokes, veggies and mashed potatoes. A very substantial portion size. Everything tasted great and the mashed potatoes were the smoothest I've had in a long time. The dining room is very attractive. Overall a good dining experience.

    Service was great! We both enjoyed our food but the dumplings as appetizers could be improved!

    Unremarkable meal. We ordered the Chicken Parmesan and Grilled Spicy Pork. Both dishes were over cooked and tasted like cheap banquet meals. Definitely did not meet our expectations.

    We were in town for the night and did a ton of research on our one opportunity to have dinner at a great place. I am sure there are other terrific restaurants in Carmel, but we chose wisely. From the atmosphere to the service to the food and drink, everything was excellent!
