Grand Pacific

Candlelit Elegance at Grand Pacific – A Night to Remember Last night, I had the pleasure of experiencing a truly unforgettable candlelit dinner at Grand Pacific Restaurant in Manchester. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was effortlessly enchanting—golden lighting, soft music, and just the right touch of opulence that set the tone for the evening. For mains, I went for the 28-day aged steak, cooked medium rare. It was seared to perfection—deeply savoury, tender, and rich with every bite, a real showcase of precision and quality meat. My date opted for the slow roasted pork belly, which arrived glistening and beautifully plated. The contrast of the melt-in-your-mouth pork with the chargrilled pineapple, bok choi, and the ginger soy broth was nothing short of divine—a perfect harmony of sweet, salty, and umami. But what truly elevated the evening were the drinks. The salted caramel espresso martini was a flawless twist on a classic—bold and velvety with a whisper of sweetness that lingered just right. The surprise standout, though, was the raspberry float—a drink I had never seen or heard of before, but one that completely stole the show. Visually stunning and refreshingly original, it was the kind of cocktail that turns heads and lingers in memory. Bravo Bartender 👏 A special thank you to our server last night — your warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care made the evening feel even more special. From perfectly timed courses to thoughtful drink recommendations, you helped create a relaxed, elegant atmosphere that didn’t go unnoticed. It’s rare to feel so well looked after without it feeling overdone — you struck that balance effortlessly. Thank you for being such a memorable part of a beautiful night. From the service to the ambiance, Grand Pacific delivered a romantic and refined experience that felt special in every sense. Already looking forward to our next visit! ❤️ Connor & Dani X

Served by the superb Jasmine - great food, great service. The starters need to be expanded a bit but otherwise another great experience at Grand Pacific!

The atmosphere was very nice. The staff were very attentive. Food was delicious, the scallops were a highlight!

Food was amazing and the server was great. Only thing that let it down was the huge wait between courses. Quite slow since the restaurant wasn’t that busy. Also a few things weren’t available on a Friday night which was disappointing

Building is nice. Service was ok but 2.5hrs between starter and dessert on a quiet night is disappointing. Won't be going back

We had a wonderful afternoon tea experience on Saturday. The food and cocktails were lovely and the staff were friendly and professional. Lovely atmosphere in a gorgeous setting.

Nice decor, food was nice and good service

Very disappointing experience. Poor management who treats staff badly. I would not recommend this place

Lovely place to go for a meal. Food, service and ambience all great!

Visited for afternoon tea for my friend's birthday and left very disappointed. Despite it being her birthday, the staff completely ignored it, while the table next to us was served a special birthday ice cream plate. It felt inconsistent and made the experience less special for her. To make matters worse, we were given another table's bill and charged around £130 for what should have been an £80 meal. I am still waiting for a refund. The whole place felt disorganised and poorly managed. They also automatically added a service charge, which felt unreasonable given the poor service we received. Overall, a frustrating experience and not what I would expect from a venue charging premium prices for afternoon tea. Wish I could've got a refund was severely unhappy.
