    My wife and I had a wonderful romantic evening at Stories this past Friday Night. The views were tremendous and the service was excellent! The hostess was very friendly and helpful. I asked for the "most romantic seat in the house" when I made our reservation, and she didn't disappoint. She located us in the corner of the dining room with floor to ceiling glass overlooking the city. We arrived during daylight, and left after the sun went down. We loved how the view changed during our time there. Ask for Madeline to take care of you if you go. Her detailed knowledge of everything on the menu was very helpful. She was very friendly and down to earth. We thoroughly enjoyed her personality. She made us feel relaxed and special, with no pressure to speed things along. An enjoyable experience compared to the many restaurants in Columbus that rush your drinks and food so they can flip the table. Now on to the menu. Their cocktails were delicious. Try the APT Margarita. The food was also excellent. We made a meal of ordering one each of the duck skewer, shrimp tempura, spring rolls and beef sliders. Each was great! I personally liked the shrimp and my wife loved the sliders. We also had the cheesecake with raspberry coulis and a giant fortune cookie for dessert. Great presentation! We highly recommend going here for that special night out. You won't be disappointed!

    We went to dinner on a Wednesday night and everything was delicious! We had several appetizers and they were all good portions. Our favorite was the lobster mac & cheese! For dinner, the shrimp pesto pasta was amazing with a nice sauce and large shrimp. We also had the ribeye which was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. The staff was very attentive. Thanks Galla Park for a great birthday dinner!

    Great time with friends in the rooftop patio. One thing that would have made it perfect was a few fans to keep air moving. The ceiling fans just not enough when it’s 90.
