    Sliders were excellent, but the smashed Avocado, and chicken bites, wagyu skewers and spinach artichoke wontons were disappointing. Great ambiance, great service, needs better food like the sliders.

    Excellent, grown-up, adult ambiance offers exceptional views of downtown Columbus. Menu featured craft cocktails and small plates. Service was very attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Perfect choice for a date night or a special occasion. Suggest you make reservations and definitely consider the "experience" option for seating with prime views of the city. Stories is definitely a "must-do!

    If you want to go just for the view sit at the bar. Sitting anywhere else the service was horrible. We waited so long just get it waited on once we were seated then are drinks were never refilled. We tried to put in an order for food but everything we wanted we were told they were not serving that item. We ended up getting one item and it did not taste good at all.

    The waitress was busy never came back until summoned to come over to order more food, never asking if any issues with food or drink. The food was ok, not amazing.
