I believe he is local to Manchester, and his energy made me choose the place. My server was simply excellent all night. I believe she's originally from Poland, and with the biggest smile throughout the meal, she shared that she and the staffs pride themselves with excellent service. The salad and garlic bread were tasty starters. The duck salad was designed to be interactive and for the diner to assemble mini lettuce wraps. The steak was perfectly grilled to my request. I would come here again the next time I visit the Trafford Center.

Once you get inside however...its great. There are little tables in snugs and nooks to chill out in or to cosy up if the mood calls for it. The Waitress was very friendly and attentive, immediately asking if we would like any water for the table,before taking our order. I had Bills Burger and my friend had a seasonal special, Chicken Satay Skewers. Both dishes arrived quickly and both where delicious, my burger was juicy, moist, really tasty and the fries where great too! My friends Chicken Satay looked amazing, it was served with a lovely fresh looking oriental slaw and a side of Peanut sauce to compliment the skewers. I was reliably informed that it was `bang on` Prices are very reasonable, 9.95 for the burger and 13.99 for the Satay. When we got the bill, there was a 10% service charge already added to it (standard practice apparently at Bills) it is discretionary, but as the service was so good i was fine to pay it. I will definitely be returning to Bills, the food, service and over all experience was really nice.

And I'm sad to say it fails pretty miserably in most areas. Nothing is outstanding, the service is pretty mediocre but that's the same in most of the Trafford Centre. It's kind of a good location being based in car park because it's not always as busy as the restaurants inside as people forget about it. The prices are OK but not cheap. It's OK for lunch but I really wouldn't head here for dinner. It's a jack of all trades, master of none.

Brand spanking newly opened!…read more At the heart of Monton's upcoming new businesses, The Blind Pig has just opened renovated that has replaced a previous pub there previously. The decor looks fresh, new, chic, understated and has that grey wood varnish touch that seems to be quite in at the moment. It's a bar but also a restaurant although it still has that pub feel but the new era pub feel. We went for the food and the cocktails - on a Friday night! This is the real time to test a new eatery. They did surprisingly well. We didn't wait for ages, had fun with the cocktails and discussing the place. Cute little notes were hung from table decorations and writing on the walls. Selection: Starting sharer platter - Italian meats, rocket, olives, mozzarella Soup and chips Random I know, but it worked. All of the food was tasty and fresh. Even through the renovation, it still attracts a lot of the old crowd. We were sat next to some people who didn't stop saying the F word through our latter part of the meal. This didn't put me off the food and the experience we'd had so far and I think it genuinely deserves 4*'s.

I like that you can order food at the bar so you don't have to wait around for your bill. Although it was busy our food came pretty quickly. The menu is quite eclectic - there are burgers, paninis and salads but some more random stuff like a Mexican bowl my friend said she liked. She advised me to avoid the tapas, apparently they are not that great. I had the smoked salmon fish cake which surprisingly didn't taste of much. I liked the textural combo of the poached egg on top but the whole dish could have done with something to give it a bit more bite. Overall a decent option if you're in Urmston, but I wouldn't travel here especially for it.

It's…read morealways nice to try something new, and Latin American (Brazilian in my case) dishes are just that. While the menu is somewhat limited vs some other Las Iguanas restaurants I have been to, it still offers plenty of choice, both standard ones, like burgers, and more exotic, like Ximxim. Amazing food, staff and ambience. The staff is very knowledgeable and polite, and the portions are generous.

There was a high bar to beat during our latest trip to Las Iguanas, having only sampled some…read moreexcellent tapas at a friend's house the day before, but we were willing to give it a try. The style is more Latin-Spanish than Spanish-Spanish, with a combination of 'Tapas Time' and regular dishes - if you're in the mood for sharing (and why wouldn't you be?) you can, or if you're just wanting to keep to yourself, that's OK too. One the regular menu there are a host of pretty difficult to pronounce treats - you could plump for the Brazilian Xinxim, the Bahia Moqueca or the Camãrio a lo Criolla. And the dishes are more than a mouthful as far as portions are concerned too, with plenty on the plate you won't go away hungry... We were in the mood for a little Tapas though, and took them up on the offer of 5 dishes for £24. If you just wanted to pick at one or two, they range between £5 and £7 each. You can also get 3 for £14 - handy if you're on your own. So, what did we go for? - Calamares - a firm favourite, crispy squid (including the tentacles!) with a spiced aioli, - Gambas in a mild garlic and chilli sauce, - Pato Taquito; basically a duck fajita with a really good spiced cranberry sauce - Cha-Cha Chorizo - Chorizo in a spicy tomato sauce - Quesadilla - we went for the chiken We also got a side of 'Patas Bravas in Bits' - the traditional potato dish, but deconstructed with the tomato and aioli in a separate dish. I think this is a brilliant idea; you don't have to deal with soggy spud - crispy all the way! The venue itself is a little on the small side, and seems a bit swamped in the hugeness that is the Great Hall, and some of the tables feel a little cramped. The ambiance is OK, but sat around the back I felt we were missing out somehow (not a feeling I've had when I've been sat out the front). The staff were great, really friendly, and made up for some of the disappointing bits. Overall, an OK, rather than good Tapas place, a bit commercial, and definitely not authentic, but worth a try if you're in the Trafford Centre and want to eat (and quite a bit of a step up over Maccy D's).

Anyway, as a recent resident of Sale I decided to have a look inside Serendipitea - the name alone had me sold. Stepping in from the hustle of Washway Road it's an oasis of calm in there, sleek, clean yet homely. The owner was incredibly welcoming and we got to chatting, they've been open 10 months and business has been good. Whilst I was in there a steady stream of customers came in, some ordered and stayed, some ordered and took out. At first I was only feeling like a hot brew, so opted for an Earl Grey which was from Stash Tea Company - it tasted delicious, not had a tea hit me in such a satisfying way in a long time. Anyway, after that I decided to grab a light bite as well so went for their scrambled eggs on brown toast. It was absolutely delicious. They have an all day breakfast menu which I'd definitely be trying again more thoroughly. They also have freshly prepared baguettes, paninis, jacket potatoes - and cake. I've found my Central Perk.

The fiver includes porridge, fresh fruits, pancakes, yoghurts, lots of cereals and most cooked items you can think of. I chose the porridge, which was tasty and a first here; it was served up in an ice cream sundae glass. Then I had three rashers of bacon, two sausage, black pudding, two fried eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, fried potatoes, I could have added beans, other types of fried potatoes and the eggs could have been poached or scrambled so you can see that the menu was really extensive. Also included in this price were different types of muffins, and unlimited toast. Another £2.25 buys unlimited filter coffee, tea and orange, grapefruit and cranberry juices. The coffee was quite alright and the juices really tasty. I paid £4:50 yesterday for a two item small portioned breakfast at Coasters in Sale. As I ordered I heard someone order their breakfast and his order included 4 sausages, 4 rashers of bacon, three fried eggs and it sounded that he was just calling out the entire menu list. The waitresses were very friendly. The guys cooking the food were efficient producing hot food quickly. If you don't want a cooked breakfast then a fiver will get you unlimited cereals, pancakes, fresh fruit, toast, yoghurts, muffins and all the hot drinks and fruit juices. Downsides were very few: the place was cold, I disliked the taste of the black pudding and the coffee cups and juice glasses are quite small. It's a five star rating anyhow as the value is fantastic.
