    We visited 20 stories for my husbands birthday i was slighlty disappointed that we were sat 1 table away from the window but after ordering our food the couple sat in the window left so i asked if we could be moved which we were and it made all the difference to our dining experience what an outlook which was made even better by it being the weekend close to bonfire night so got fireworks displays all over manchester. The food was gorgeous my husbands lamb was the best ive ever tasted. As id told them it was his birthday he recieved a small square of chocolate cake with a candle and writing on the plate. The food is quite expensive but it’s a great all round experience definitely request a window table though.

    Beautiful location views stunning over the city at night. Inside the restaurant the seating is beautiful decorated with beautiful flower arrangements.

    This is a place where you are paying for the experience rather than the food and drink. It would score high for people watching and city views, but nothing else.

    It was a good restaurant and the atmosphere was good too. To celebrate my birthday there was really fun, however I would say the food portions were a bit small and the steak was a bit hard to eat and swallow. Besides that, we were given a really friendly waiter and the service was acceptable. Thank you.
