    You’re paying for the location and views. Food is totally overpriced and nothing special. Had the Pork Belly and the crackling was anything but crackling. The views were amazing, but the drinks and food are overpriced.

    Florin was a fantastic server, he recommended personalised cocktails for our group, we had two people with allergies and he was so accommodating. Really went above & beyond.

    Nice place, nice view,very attentive service. Food was not good. I had the lamb which was very fatty and very tough. The jus to pour over it was oily and unpleasant, the dessert, opera cake was unremarkable. The restaurant did reduce the bill but still not worth the money.

    Good for the younger crowd but not really suited to a family meal. The bar is too noisy and corridors and toilets are full of drunken 18-25 year olds
    20 Stories RestaurantResponded 5 days ago
    Thanks so much for the great review and the helpful feedback. We know Fridays and Saturdays can get a bit lively, and we understand it might not always feel like the best fit for everyone. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts — it’s really useful as we look for ways to improve. Hope to welcome you back soon, maybe during a quieter time! Best regards,

    Great experience with excellent food & service; be aware a rather generous service charge of 13.5% is automatically added on to the bill
