    Absolutely amazing food, in a beautiful setting. Went on a Saturday night date night and found the music a little loud and some of the clientele a little more rowdy than expected but, overall, still a great experience. Table staff were very nice and professional. Wouldn’t hesitate to go again.

    Absolutely beautiful place and the views are gorgeous. Only thing is meals are overpriced for their size and waiter would come up to us too frequently.

    Average Sunday dinner. Far too much fat on the beef. Had better alternative vegetarian Sunday roasts.

    Been to several of the group restaurants, and while the food and service in 20 Stories, was very good, in our opinion it wasn’t as good as it could have been. Also the menu didn’t seem as enticing as the last one visited, Orelle Birmingham. From an individual perspective, 20 Stories is really god.
