Food was definitely a 4 however the experience was sadly a 1. Never again. Not enjoyable trying to eat while the adjoining table spent their entire time videoing themselves and swapping seats. THE WHOLE TIME!! Shame because the food and cocktails were excellent.

Had a voucher as a gift for a 3 course lunch. Communication when booking was good, service from arrival to leaving was faultless and fully deserved the service charge that had been added to the bill. Apart from the tasteless soup, everything else was lovely. A bit pricey for 2 glasses of wine at £29 but still a thoroughly enjoyable meal and we highly recommend

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The food, the service, the views 10/10. We went tonight for my birthday and we had the best time. We opted for the set menu which did not disappoint, the food was unreal!! Our waiter was Rachid and he was fantastic, always kept our drinks topped up and was so lovely and polite. The views are exceptional and we will definitely be returning! Thank you for a lovely evening ??

We had a fab experience. Service was spot on - ordered a round of cocktails. Mistakenly ordered the wrong cocktail; our server Owen was brilliant and changed the cocktail with no issues. Will definitely be visiting again!

Wondeful experience - highly recommend! Went in with a couple friends last week just to get a few drinks before dinner, not even expecting to there be space for walk-ins, it was a bank holiday! The drinks were gorgeous and the bar staff were speedy and super professional. Views are gorgeous from the terrace. Ella made our drinks and was excellent - she's a credit to the company. Will be coming back, this time with a booking for the restaurant.

Rachid was fantastic! A very helpful, amiable and energetic member of the team at 20 Stories. Our first experience here was awesome. Quality of food and presentation was superb, dessert was the cherry on top (excuse the pun)! Well worth a visit, we shall be returning for our next special occasion.

It's easy to praise a restaurant when everything goes well . But the real test of customer service is when something is not quite right. At our recent meal here , my partner's steak was a little underdone for her liking ( even though she asked for it well done ?) She was a little apprehensive in complaining, but the reaction of the staff and Maitre'd could not be faulted, I can't praise them enough .Overall the experience was very positive , the staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was great and the views over Manchester are always spectacular.

My wife and I went for an afternoon tea for our wedding anniversary. We were served by Rachid who was an absolute joy and seemed to take a genuine interest in us and our reason for visiting despite being very busy. He really made an effort to display a personal touch (with every table) even though it was rammed busy. He even gave us 2 glasses of complimentary Prosecco and a dessert with Happy Anniversary written in chocolate. We enjoyed a cocktail and a gin and tonic and had our coats taken without asking. All in all, a superb experience and we will be back!! Thanks Rachid!!!

A gorgeous bar in Manchester let down by the service. My boyfriend booked us a table for 2 for drinks, they said if we weren?t eating we couldn?t have our table. Which was fine but instead of being accommodating they said there was nothing we could do and we would have to find a table or stand. We were in high spirits so we did so. We got a table that was very wobbly, when the drink was put onto the table it went all over me and they said as the drink was paid for and put down we couldn?t have another and would have to buy another. We weren?t offered some tissue to clean up. We bought another drink and the lady was very rude in doing so. All in all, beautiful views but very upset with the lack of hospitality.

Elegant place for celebrations or occasions, or just drink on terrace. We had just a drunk on terrace on sunny day, but there are plenty heated and blankets for colder weather. Great drinks selection and fast and friendly service. It?s pricey but it is unique. Views are amazing!

It's a few years since our last visit; and I was expecting to feel a little out of place among lively young people; but the staff were really lovely and made us feel at home. Each course of the tasting menu was more like a small portion off an a la carte menu than an intricate combination of complementary flavours; but it was very enjoyable (much more so than I'd expected) with lovely flavours. The young sommelier was engagingly enthusiastic. We were fortunate to have one of the few sunny evenings of the summer - so the view and sunset were stunning. We'd have appreciated quieter music - but that's probably just our age!

Monday 21st August. Arrived for a drink with my daughter on her 21st birthday. Monday night 9.30 refused entry as she didn?t have her ID (. Rules maybe rules ) but as we there as a family mum dad brother and other half?s just for a drink, rather over zealous if you ask me. Other bars happy to serve. Won?t be back

Booked afternoon tea on August 3rd for yesterday August 19th for my friend's birthday. Stated in comments was for afternoon tea for friends birthdays. Called them to confirm on August 5th and ask for a window seat. They then called me on Thursday 17th. 2 weeks after I booked to cancel because they don't do afternoon tea on Saturday. Fair enough but why couldn't they tell me when I booked. Had to frantically search for a free reservation on a Saturday afternoon as we travelled from and had everything else booked. Luckily the ivy were very accommodating!

I visited this place on Friday night, food was amazing and service excellent. We were served by Nathalia, who helped us to choose our dishes and provided an amazing service during the whole night, we will be back for sure
