The octopus alone was worth going there for. Great wine list and desserts too. We really enjoyed our experience!!

We had a really fantastic meal. The cocktails were excellent as was the Caesar salad, beef tartare and we shared the chicken schnitzel. Loved the atmosphere (even though it was a bit quiet).

Great service and ambiance. If you like modern/ fusion type of food, this is the spot. Food portion is big and most interesting thing is that they change their menu regularly. You’ll be surprised with what they have to offer everytime you come.

I visited Short Stories for drinks and was pleasantly surprised by the owner's recommendation of an upcoming cocktail – a unique spin on a mojito that was absolutely delicious! The cozy environment adds to the charm, and I can't wait to go back and try their renowned food. Special shoutout to Jess, the bartender, who was not only well-informed but also incredibly friendly. A delightful experience overall!

I have no idea who hired the bartender in the green jacket who worked here on New Years Eve, but he was extremely aggressive and rude. He completely ruined the night by being horrible to each and every one of us after we gave the bar our cards for $60 each and acted surprised when the people in our group said something back to him due to his bad attitude. He is bad for business and shouldn’t be in a customer service industry.
Amazing experience with delicious food! I came here for brunch and the staff was extremely friendly and the atmosphere was very pleasant. I can’t wait to come back here for dinner sometime!

The long story short, Sunday brunch experience was great. The food was very tasty. Especially pancakes and chicken sandwich. And of course espresso martini was done right- delicious with 3 beans on top. We will be back!

We had a wonderful time at Short Stories yesterday! From the first bite to the last sip, every moment was perfect. The menu has a bunch of tasty options. The Lobster ravioli and Parker House rolls were top-notch, and it's cool that they make everything in-house! The plates are made for sharing, so we got to try a bit of everything.Even for someone not particularly fond of beef tartare, the way chef makes it there is irresistible. The octopus was tender and tasty, showing off the chef's skills. Choosing a favorite dish was tough, but I went with the Octopus—it was divine!The wine pairings were spot-on, and they even use fancy wine glasses. The atmosphere was cozy yet elegant, perfect for a great night out. The service was friendly, and the staff had a youthful vibe, making it a welcoming place.In a nutshell, our night was perfect, and we left super happy. This restaurant is now one of our favorites, and we're already planning our next visit.This place is a real gem!

Super chill but also very classy vibes . Food is insanely good. Truly top 5 spots in NYC. From the pasta to the branzino. They recently started brunch and it is such an experience . Must try brunch and/or
