Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails
Charming

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.

This was our second time at this restaurant. The ambience is nice, but the food and service is substandard.

Since it was a Sunday, it was really busy. We had to wait about 30 minutes for our food. Our waitress was very attentive and had to "fight" with the kitchen (her words not mine) to get our food. They had large parties that I'm sure had to make reservations which I did even though there was only two in our party. The kitchen staff should be well prepared for busy Sundays so it seemd inexcusable to wait that long to get the food. The couple behind me had to wait even longer and they got there about 10 minutes after us. I have to say that the food was excellent, very reasonably priced, and good portions. Our waitress Paula was great!

Delicious food and cocktails! Service was a bit slow, but the hostess had warned us they were understaffed.

Our experience was just OK. Overall, from service to food, it met the minimum expectations of getting the job done. Nothing special about this place. Staff was fine, they did their job. Food was ok, again just meeting minimum expectations of a restaurant. Its not a place we plan to go back to.

Reservation was at 6:15pm, got seated at 6:45pm. Water came immediately after being seated. Server came shortly after that and got us our drinks . We asked for hot water and it was hot. She refilled many times throughout our meal. Food came out in a timely manner and was hot, except for the pizza. Food was worth the wait. Be back soon.
