    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.

    The food was very tasty but couldn’t help but feel like it was a tad overpriced. 4 prawns for £20 seems a little excessive, even though the food was tasty
