The service was excellent, but I wasn't over the moon with Pangaea.
My striped bass was very bland, and they subbed out my fava bean puree for fennel. I LOVE FAVA BEANS and I HATE FENNEL. But it was a business lunch, so I didn't speak up.
The semifreddo desert with poached plums & cherries and a gluten-free meringue melted in my mouth...well, more like disintegrated in my mouth...in the most delightful way.
Again, the service was 5-star-- warm, personable, professional and thoughtful-- seamlessly. I really don't think our server realized the collateral damage caused by the fennel fiasco, and for that I forgive.
The place was a bit of a scene, but had some private "nooks" where we had a lingering 3 hour lunch without too much distraction.
Go for desert.
