    The experience we had at Pangaea on Friday, 9/25, was absolutely fantastic!! The Zucchini Chips, Coconut Curry and Stir fry were perfect, and the Key Lime pie was delish! The perfect end to a day of hiking! Bravo!!

    We had an absolutely lovely time! Had only been to the cafe, but we all loved our meals, the small room we were in, and our server Henry! He could have worked at a fine dining establishment like Commander’s Palace in New Orleans. He was that good. We can’t wait to return
