We also have the only cigar lounge in the Twin Lakes area. Feel free to ask our bartenders to pair a fine cigar with your beverage of choice. Because we are a Speakeasy, you'll have to find the entrance and figure out the password to get in. It's all part of the unique experience you'll find at Stories! Although we don't serve food, we are within easy walking distance of several restaurants and we encourage you to take a stroll around the beautiful Baker District before or after your visit. You are also welcome to bring in outside food. Do you have a large group, or are you looking for a more exclusive experience? We offer full or partial rentals. We can also arrange catering and even paired cocktail dinners. Message us on facebook for more information.

Ozark, MO Okay,…read morereally really good Buffet... I'm not typically a buffet guy but would definitely do this again... Everything (except the Cinnamon rolls were great). Note to the culinary team, the C-rolls are dry, something to expect at the Courtyard Marriott free continental breakfast - not at your place... upgrade or 86 this item. Service was exceptional... Then of course the views and grounds were amazing... would definitely recco this place to anyone going to Springfield or Ozark.

Finley Farms is the Ozark Mill along the Finley River that was purchased by the daughter of Johnny Morris (owner of Bass Pro Shop). They did a huge renovation and conversion to include a restaurant, country store, fine dining speakeasy style bar and restaurant, coffee shop and gardens. We started with brunch at the Ozark Mill restaurant. Then walked the grounds, including an old bridge. We headed out for a few hours and returned for dinner at The Garrison (speakeasy vibe bar and fine dining). We had reservations on the patio and it was simply gorgeous. The food and cocktails were amazing. Service was exceptional - We cannot wait to go back!

My sister and I dined outside which reminded me of a cafe on the street in Paris. We both ordered the salmon salad. It did take some time for our order to arrive but it was well worth it. The salmon was cooked to perfection. The salad was fresh and flavorful. The waitress was very attentive with refills on iced tea and cold water in jars for the table. Everyone we came into contact with was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely LOVE this place. Will definitely be coming back and recommending to anyone and everyone!…read moreThe service was great, all the staff were so kind. We got our food quick, but not too quick so you know they're making everything fresh. The food was incredible! We got the cornbread muffins to start.... WOW! So so good. I got the Caesar salad with salmon and my husband got the other salad with steak. Both were equally as delicious. The dessert... we got the s'mores brownie. Genuinely the best thing I've ever tasted. It was amazing, and everyone should get it. The vibes, views, everything about this place is awesome.

Still love the ambiance and location. Great selection on the menu and food quality is very good…read more Good beer and wine selection too. Our group of 11 were seated quickly but our server, who was friendly but seemed like she had to cover too many tables. Not sure what the intention was when they designed the "store." Seemed like a lot of items you'd find in Branson or Cracker Barrel. Sorry, just my opinion. We'll be back but more likely for special occasions. Would like to try the Garrison.

There was an old guy singing old karaoke country songs which added to the fun/weird atmosphere. Upstairs they have a small arcade that while cool, had about half the machines were broken. The service was really poor. Our waitress didn't just seem like it was her first job it seemed like it was the first time out of her house. We had been sitting for 10 minutes while she walked by 5 times before she even acknowledged us to say she'd be with us soon. She was confused when my wife ordered a Malbec, couldn't provide a single bit of information about the drink special, and didn't understand when I asked for a Peroni. You know, the standard Italian pilsner. One of the 8 beers ON THE MENU. The food is just ok. It was fine. It's close to Olive Garden. You're not gonna find granma's 100 year recipe here, standard spaghetti and meatballs which did their job well. We got the triperfecta the eggplant parm and the chicken parm and while they did not come out hot, everything tasted fine. The big draw here is the ambiance. The owner has a gold mine if they took some time to train wait staff and added some passion in the kitchen. I will also add that at some point in our meal someone started tossing warm rolls to patrons and that was a lot of fun.

I was disappointed with my experience. The service was excellent--Rachel was attentive, friendly,…read moreand did a great job taking care of us. Unfortunately, the food did not meet my expectations. I found it to be bland and lacking the variety of pasta options that I've come to expect from Italian restaurants. Compared to other local Italian restaurants we enjoy, the menu felt limited and the flavors were not particularly memorable. As a first-time visitor, I also found the restaurant a bit confusing when we arrived. We were immediately asked whether we wanted to attend a show rather than being directed to seating or given an explanation of how the restaurant operates. It seemed like there was an assumption that guests already understood the concept. A brief welcome and explanation for newcomers would have been helpful. While others may enjoy the experience, the food simply wasn't for me, and I would likely choose a different restaurant next time.
