    The starter was too sweet and the main, lamb for two had no flavour, we ordered cocktails, Margherita which tasted like a chemical and was immediately sent back. Service was poor.

    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.
    20 Stories RestaurantResponded on April 28, 2025
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. While I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the service, I would like to apologies if the food you had was not up to scratch, it's not a regular occurrence for us and we pride ourselves on providing excellent service that matches the quality of our food. However, I will look into the issues you have raised so we can further improve. Kind regards.
