Grand Palace Restaurant

Overall 2.8 - Food 5, Ambience 2, Value 3, Service 1

We had heard good things about the Grand Palace, so decided to give it a try for our Wedding Anniversary. Big mistake! The food was average, bland even, but it was the service that was unforgiveable. When we arrived we were pointed in the general direction of our table and the menus practically thrown on the table. It was 20 minutes before they took our drink order. My entree arrived about 15 minutes before my husbands. He hadn't even finished his (ie: spoon still halfway between plate and mouth!) before they tried to take his plate away. We weren't offered fresh drinks or coffee / desert. The staff seemed more interested in serving customers that were drinking alot of alcohol - atmosphere was very loud, we had to shout to talk. When we paid the bill, the credit card printout was practically thrown at us and no acknowledgement was given when we said goodnight. The staff member didn't even look up or speak. I have never been treated this way in a Perth restaurant and we will certainly never visit the Grand Palace again. And, at $120 for two, with no wine or desert - what a Grand Ripoff!   (Worst Service Ever - March, 2008)

I am a fan of traditional chinese food, I have travelled to Beijing many times in my life. My favourtie Peeking duck was on the menu, it was just like it was in China! Chilli beef was also a hit. Awesome food and value for money. Great view of the Swan River, I will difinately be going back. Shay Shay (thankyou in chinese)......   (October, 2007)

I'm a fussy vegetarian and I am continually frustrated at the lack of healthy and interesting options at many of Perth's top restauarants.At the Grand Palace I had lots of choices and the food was fabulous! Finally I can look forward to something more exciting than steamed vegetables!!   (Stacey - September, 2007)
