About Wine Stories
Wine Stories is a Greek restaurant at 24 Parliament St in York, built around large sharing platters alongside its main menu dishes. The mixed grill for two comes with Corfu sausage, chips, bread and dips, and the platters suit groups. A souvlaki mix for two and a Greek salad sit on the same menu. The drinks list centres on Greek wine, including rapsani. The restaurant opens Wednesday to Sunday and closes on Mondays and Tuesdays, though the full menu is not available on Sundays. Payment is cash only, and an ATM sits next door.

“The service was great . The waitress was great . I also enjoy Greek wine . My personal sommelier ( Mr Gardelis ) recommended the rapsani and it was a good choice . Food wise … I did not really like it . It is not authentic at all . Food is average and really not special . I would go back as the whole experience was still very positive . It is also fairly well priced .”

“Lovely food and atmosphere. My husband and I shared the mixed grill- a lot of food for a reasonable price. Many people have commented that there are a lot of chips: this is true but 1) they are lovely chips and 2) it’s not at the sacrifice of other things on the plate, the meat bread and dip components are also generous. Everything was cooked perfectly and was nice and hot. Staff were lovely which was a bonus on top of everything else. Will be back!”

“My family and I first visited during christmas shopping in York and loved it so much it has become our 'go-to' place. The food is delicious with great portion sizes and we love that there are lots of options for sharing. The staff are very friendly, especially the lovely woman who served us. Definitely recommend giving it a try.”

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often come for the mixed grill for two, a sharing platter that several describe as generous, with plenty of meat, bread and dip alongside a big helping of chips that one reviewer calls lovely and not at the expense of the rest of the plate. Close behind is the souvlaki mix for two, and one diner singles out the sausage from Corfu as flavorful and just like homemade. Reviewers repeatedly praise the friendly, lovely waitstaff, and one notes a single front of house member serving a full restaurant. Greek wine gets a mention too, including a rapsani one reviewer enjoyed. The main dissent comes from one reviewer who found the food average and not authentic at all, though that person still called the whole experience positive and would return. Another found the meat platter a little too much food. Several call the prices reasonable and the atmosphere welcoming, and more than one reviewer notes the mixed grill, written for two, turned out bigger than expected.
