Our tale began in the heart of the kitchen, with just a handful of humble ingredients and a spark of inspiration. Before we knew it, we were crafting dishes that whispered (or sometimes shouted) to every palate.At STORY, inspiration isn’t just a goal—it’s a promise. Maybe it’s the bold, unapologetic flavors of our pizzas or the inventive twists in our craft cocktails. Perhaps it’s the ambiance that wraps you up and makes you feel... something. Or maybe it’s the company you keep around the table that makes it all unforgettable.So, sit back and let our service do more than just serve—let them captivate you with the stories behind our dishes, the magic in our drinks, and the passion of our owner, who dreamed up this space just so you could add your own story to ours.

    Everything was absolutely amazing. The service was impeccable, from the greeter when we first walked in, to our waiter who was god sent. The food was delicious, the drinks were awesome. I loved this place. I will definitely be back and soon, already looking forward to my next visit.

    It was our first time, and we enjoyed our experience. We tried the nachos, which were great, loaded with cheese and toppings, as well as a 3-item combo (2 cheese enchiladas and 1 potato taco). The enchiladas and rice were great; the potato filling in the taco and the beans were slightly under seasoned. Service was prompt and attentive (we went on a Saturday, at 5:30). Ambience is nice and we would return again.

    I made reservations for a family Christmas brunch. We were immediately greeted and sat by the hostess. Drinks were great. food was good and the place was fairly quiet so we were able to enjoy good conversation and our time together. Service was excellent. Will go back again.
