Editorial Review
There’s a palpable sense of enthusiasm and ambition at Pan. Servers exude homey affability mixed with strong food knowledge, while the kitchen displays confidence and flair. The menu shows Greek classics alongside a number of Mediterranean-influenced house specialties. An entrée-sized appetizer of pan-fried chicken livers in lemon, white wine, garlic and herbs tastes slightly bitter, though the dish is pleasantly balanced by mesclun tossed in sweet balsamic vinaigrette. A variation on kakavia—fisherman’s stew—delivers oregano-infused tomato and white wine broth with plump, tender shrimp, calamari, mussels and chunks of sea bass. A house-smoked double pork chop is roasted ecstasy, with a caramelized orange glaze. The wine list shows many bottles under $50. Mains $16–$28.
