PROFILE
Pangaea is the name of the mass of land that existed on earth 250 million years ago before it was divided by the separation of continental plates. But at the restaurant of the same name, it's almost as if the plates have reunited.

Pangaea serves up globally-inspired dishes prepared with local ingredients for a taste of international togetherness that some refer to as fusion cuisine. Among the most popular menu items are the mahogany glazed salmon with lime caramel butter, mushroom risotto and grilled calamari. The restaurant also boasts an extensive wine list with more than 450 labels for diners to choose from.

The restaurant's minimalist, earthy decor adds a relaxed feeling to the otherwise upscale dining experience. Two private dining spaces are also available for group functions or business gatherings and wireless networking is available throughout the restaurant.
