*This is the customer & partner of Bret who has shared this review on almost every account of ours, so I will continue to respond with our side of the story.* *Also, our curry is homemade from scratch daily with fresh veggies and spiced to your liking, not store bought.* This is Joe, the owner responding. My father always told me, "there are three sides to every story. Yours, mine and the truth". So you have given your side of the story. Now I will give mine. It is up to the reader to decide upon what they believe is the truth. The short version is, you and your wife/girlfriend/partner came in for your dinner reservation. You both ordered vegan options off our menu. You both ate all your meal with the exception of a small portion of the Coconut Curry which you had placed in a To-Go container. I checked on you mid-dinner and you both said everything was fine. The server checked on you multiple times during dinner without any complaints. It was only after you received the check that you were unsatisfied. The sever asked me to speak to you at the table. When I approached you to inquire what was the issue, you simply stated that you did not think the meals were worth $20. You said that you go to Thai and Mediterranean restaurants from time to time and that our dishes were not what you expected. I asked you how did you find out about Pangea and knew to make reservations. You said you were on our website. I asked you if you had looked at our menu. You said yes. That you came to Pangea for our vegan options. I asked you if you had received menus when you were seated. You said yes. I pointed out that our menu has detailed descriptions and prices listed on them. You simply replied that you did not think the dishes were worth $20. I asked you if you were a restaurant owner? You said no. It was then that I said, "you know, it is interesting to me that you made the choices you did, ate practically all your dinner, never said a word until you received your bill. It seems to me you just want something for nothing." I offered you a 10% discount as you seemed motivated to negotiate. It was then that you got visably frustrated and said, "No! we will pay our bill and leave bad reviews". So there we go readers. That is my side of the story. Thank you all for taking the time to read, and we truly hope to see you at Pangea Tavern if you enjoy delicious vegan options and service with care.
