    Dined on 23 May 2026
    I celebrated my birthday at Pan Pacific with their High Tea. It was an absolute delight to be there. We had a seat near the window which gave us a nice view of the Yarra River. We were served by Jennifer who was amazing she did everything you’d imagine for a five star service and beyond. I especially loved the fact we could choose as many of the Tea flavours that were available on the list as we liked and not be limited to just one teapot per person like most other places. The food was made to cater to our dietary requirements, very much appreciated. Overall lovely experience and complete satisfaction. Thank you for making my day.
