Pangaea On Ocean Ave - Carmel-By-The-Sea (CA)

4 /5 Candy Nakajima: Made a Friday night reservation at Pangaea and wow, the place was packed and full of energy. Bright, upbeat crowd, Friday fun. We started with a few splits of Chandon. To eat we had the clam chowder, and a spam sushi roll (forget the exact name but wife had to have it!). For mains, we went with the duck and the tikka masala sea bass. Both were tasty. The fish was buttery and perfectly cooked, and flavorful. The duck was tender and just the right amount of crispy. The clam chowder surprised me. Not overly thick, tons of clams, and great flavor. Dessert was a crème brûlée 2 ways. One was regular and one espresso! Simple but so good. Our waiter deserves a shoutout ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Super friendly, high energy, rocking caps as earrings (iconic), and knew the menu inside and out. Overall, such a fun, vibrant dinner spot right in the heart of Carmel. Great food, great service, great energy.

5 /5 James Feng: Dining at Pangaea Grill was an absolute delight! The portions were generous, and every dish was beautifully presented with fresh ingredients. The grilled meat was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of flavor, complemented nicely by the kimchi and rice. The cheesy corn was crispy on the outside and tender inside, with just the right hint of spice—truly impressive. The steak was cooked to perfection, tender and succulent, while the bibimbap with egg brought together a wonderful mix of textures and flavors. Service was attentive and friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The cozy atmosphere added to the charm—highly recommended!

5 /5 Itt Pamarapa: Pangaea On Ocean Ave, located in the middle of Downtown Carmel-on-the-sea, was a Californian style restaurant.We went there on a wet rainy day when thunderstorms were expected. All dishes looked appetizing. Artichoke dish was available upon request as its local specialty appetizer. Korean Short Ribs and Kimchi soup were so good.

I started with the crab cakes appetizer, which was packed with flavor and paired beautifully with their signature sauce.
