Grand Pacific

1. I went for lunch at the Grand Pacific and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. I started with the cauliflower, which was cooked to perfection – crispy on the outside and tender inside, with a delightful blend of spices that made it incredibly flavorful. For my main course, I opted for the fried chicken. It was wonderfully crispy and juicy, with a perfect seasoning that left me wanting more.

   In addition to my starter and main, I also enjoyed the prawn crackers and the Japanese bread for nibbles. The prawn crackers were light and crunchy, with a great flavor that made them the perfect snack. The Japanese bread was soft and slightly sweet, a delightful complement to the savory dishes.

   The atmosphere at Grand Pacific is elegant yet relaxed, making it an ideal spot for both special occasions and casual dining. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring that every aspect of my meal was enjoyable.

   Overall, my experience at Grand Pacific was fantastic. The combination of excellent food, great service, and a beautiful setting made it a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend trying the cauliflower and fried chicken, and don’t miss out on the prawn crackers and Japanese bread for a perfect meal!

2. I am deeply disappointed with my recent experience at Grand Pacific, Manchester, on my birthday. I had booked a table at this restaurant over a week in advance, specifically requesting a window seat to make the occasion special. Despite my clear instructions and the advance notice, upon arrival, we were told that window seats need to be reserved two hours before. This was incredibly frustrating as I had communicated my request a week prior, and their reasoning made no sense.

   The service was exceptionally slow, with us waiting more than 1 hour for our food to arrive. Out of respect, we did not rush the staff, expecting them to handle our order with care. However, just as we started eating, less than half an hour later, we were abruptly asked to leave. This happened despite us not finishing our meal. When we mentioned it was a birthday celebration and requested to take a few photos with the cake before leaving, a man in a brown suit (I think he is the manager) rudely insisted that we leave immediately. He was completely unapologetic and offered no explanation, maintaining his rude demeanor even after we explained that the slow service was the reason for our delay.

   Adding to the disappointment, despite notifying both during the booking and on the day of our visit that it was a birthday celebration, the restaurant did not provide the customary birthday plate. This oversight was a significant letdown on what was supposed to be a joyous occasion.

   I had looked forward to celebrating my birthday at Grand Pacific, hoping for a memorable and pleasant experience. Instead, the poor service and rude treatment completely ruined what should have been a happy and significant day for me. The lack of any apology or attempt to make amends only added to my frustration. This was undoubtedly the most disappointing birthday I have ever had, and I would strongly advise anyone considering this restaurant for a special occasion to think twice.

3. The food was fantastic and well presented, the staff were polite and friendly and the venue was absolutely beautiful. The only negative I have from my visit is on the seating as it is incredibly uncomfortable in the booths and you need to sit upright for the entire meal as the backrest is so far away or slouch entirely into the seat being unable to reach the table.

4. Lovely graded building with authentic inside still present. Very airy, and staff were lovely. Afternoon tea was nice but small. Great choice of wine, lagers, spirits and soft drinks.

5. Great food and cocktails, nice atmosphere, and fab service. Could not have asked for any more. Loved the decor. Had a lovely evening. 😊😊
