Reviews in Eccles

Fantastic! Great food, good friendly service. Better than all the city centre Chinese restaurants.

Have been to smiths lots of times over the last few years. They seem to be one of very few places that improve with time. The staff are excellent and the quality of the menus available are second to none. Whether its the Tuesday jazz night, an early tea or a night out with friends there is no place better place to fill you up and leave you looking forward to your next visit

Although I've enjoyed many nice meals here and found the service generally very good there is no escaping that Smiths is becomming tired.The menus are hit and miss ,repetitive and frankly dated-each month sees a variation on soup, heavy cream sauces, stodgy meats and the decor is in need of a spruce up. With competition like the new contemporary chinese restaurant next door I think it would be a shame for Smiths to lose out for believing in its own hype a little too much.

This has to be the best restaurant in the area. It never fails to delight and I have been dining there for the past 10 years. The quality of food and service never wavers, no matter how busy they are (and that tends to be most evenings).

Since the restaurant opened we have been regular customers. We have found it to be a well-run friendly and clean eating place, Congratulations!!

Why bother with Manchester when there's a place as good as this so close to home? Great food, good ambience and good kharma. EASY PARKING TOO!!!!! Graham& Pat

Hospitality was absolutely superb. We have been many times and it goes better every time. The staff are excellent company and very entertaining and make our evening special. Tracy, Joanna, Chris and Richie are very attentive. Long may it continue!! Susan & Stephen Horridge

This place is fantastic. The place, staff and food are 100%. Superb

This is a 10 year old girl giving you this message and this is what I think of the Pacifica Cantonese in Eccles Manchester. This place is one of the best places in the entire world. I do love Chinese food and that is why my grandparents have taken me to many Chinese restaurants. So far, this is the best one I have ever been to. Honestly!! The people serving me are very kind and give me cake without me even asking for it!! The meal I have had today was enormous, trust me, and I will not have a meal that big if I do not absolutely love the food!! One day, on my birthday, I came here with my family and friends. We managed to sit in the VIP table which was excellent!! We then got served our food and when we had finished it, all of my friends(who had never been to or heard of it) were telling me and the staff how amazing the food was and how they wanted to come here again. We now come here all the time and really enjoy it. My mum is allergic to MSG which is in most Chinese food. She then asked the staff not to put MSG into the food. The staff then kindly told the chef my mum's request. My mum then came out of the restaurant with no headache at all.( That is what happens when she has MSG) That is all I have to say about Pacifica Cantonese. You should try it, believe me!!

Set in a modern contemporary setting this restaurant really makes your evening feel extra special. The mood lighting and ambient music adds to the overall experience. The food is always hot and of exceptional quality. The service is first class and professional. This is a fine example of others to follow.

An outstanding restaurant with high quality food. Friendly staff with professional service. With an understandable five star rating. a hidden gem well worth seeking out in Eccles.

pricey....... but worth every bite, the atmosphere is another compliment to the experience. the spacious balcony adds to the crisp decor and an excellent display of beverages.

The food, service and the dinning area are all fantastic - this restaurant is a place to go for that special occasion. Myself and the missus have done most of Chinatown and, Pacifica Cantonese is surely one of the top Chinese restaurants in Greater Manchester.

Brill Brill Brill - what a find. We were told to go by a couple we got chatting to at a comedy club, a bit random but if it crops up in conversation with strangers you think it must be good, and we weren't disappointed. Staff are fab.

I ate at smiths a while ago and loved it the service was brilliant and the food was excellent. Anybody thinking of going should go.

I have been going to the BB faithfully since its opening over 10 years ago, and it just goes from strength to strength! And now since a refurbishment it is also a very smart and chic place to eat top-notch outstanding food. The sauces are always unctuously rich and satisfying; the Tandoor produces some beautiful testaments to carnivorousness; and the breads are sublime! Miss this place at your peril!!!

It's so great having restaurant within walking distance, so we both can drink while we're eating. And it's not just because of this that it's worth recommending - really really great food, very British cuisine - If they have anything with black pudding on the menu - order it, you won't be disappointed. Excellent wine menus with a good range available by the glass. Their puddings are some of the best I've tasted (and I do like my pudding). If I have any criticisms it's that the menu is constantly changing, which is usually a good thing, but my favourite starter and liquid centre chocolate pudding both disappeared, but I've had something equally good in both instances. Also, it's not a place to go if you really hate Jazz, and I really really do hate it. It's not just Tuesday's when it's Jazz night, they do tend to play it constantly the rest of the time. For all I can tell, it might as well be the same 'tune' on endless loop. Enough ranting - despite this, and if you knew me, you'd realise how big a concession this is to me - I still go regularly and have a great time. The fixed price menus are always good value and especially the early doors offer. The kids menus are varied and a good price at around £4 including drink and ice-cream AND an activity pack (Should be compulsory in restaurants). Finally, it's completely non-smoking!
