Went here for lunch as a mother and daughter treat. I was struck immediately by the wonderful atmosphere and decor of the place. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Our waiter, Kumar, was incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring we had the best time. We ordered olives and mains: sea cream and trout followed by a shared dessert. The food was perfect and the summer signature cocktails went so well with everything. We couldn't find fault in our time here at all.

I went to 20 stories with my partner for my birthday lunch. We had a great time and our server Kumar was amazing! Highly recommend the food and service!

The ambience is amazing and very elegant. We attended there for my birthday celebration and the staff were very welcoming from the start to the end of our visit. Our waiter ,Nancy, was brilliant! From explaining the food , making recommendations and taking extremely good pictures of us. The service was excellent, quick and stress free. She made our evening and the meal more enjoyable. We got 2 starters and 2 mains. Unfortunately the food does not meet the standards of the atmosphere as it was quite bland. I would not advise you to order the chicken dishes as we found it quite bland ( no taste, no salt).However, their seafood was better and delicious. I got the prawns. Their terrace is perfect for a hot summer day or night meal, but if you don’t smoke or can’t stand the smell you might want to sit inside.

My friends enjoyed the food, but our dinner experience was affected by the environment. The table next to us was occupied by two very intoxicated guests behaving inappropriately, which made things uncomfortable. In addition, the music was so loud that we struggled to have a conversation and fully enjoy our time together. I think this venue may be better suited for an earlier visit, such as lunch or afternoon tea, when the atmosphere is likely calmer and the daytime view can be appreciated more.

their roast is served only between 12-4pm on sundays so i’d recommend booking as it was quite busy; we waited 45 mins for the table despite booking! out of the two, the chicken was the best as it was juicy yet had crispy skin. the beef, however, was overcooked despite asking for medium rare. the yorkshire looked incredible but was also overdone so it tasted burnt and dry. the lack of gravy did not help and even the extra we asked for was not enough. the cauliflower cheese was a nice addition though and served on a stone plate so no need to worry about it going cold. the desserts are worth saving room for as they looked and tasted great. the setting and the atmosphere was the highlight but the roast was not the best and quite pricey; id be interested to see how the a la carte menu fares though!
