    Stories is always a good time. We went with friends for Valentine’s Day. As you might expect, it was busy. While the food was great and the drinks were on point, the craziness of the holiday led to delays in service as well as multiple wrong plates that had to be sent back because we either didn’t order them or they were just wrong. Still, over all, it was a great time.

    The view is amazing. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the food or service. We had a total of 5 small plates to share between the 2 of us, which was about the right amount. The best was the waygu beef skewers. The chicken bites were good. All of the others were meh. Also, red wine should be served at approximately 55 degrees, NOT room temperature.

    horrible food but if they switched the menu around it’d be a 10/10 overall
