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.

    I got the eggs Benedict. The bacon was uncooked in places and very little hollandaise sauce. It was extremely hard to cut. I had to keep sawing away on it to cut the English muffin. I’m not too sure why. Then I went into the ladies room, and there was no toilet paper in two of the stalls. I told someone and my friend went in a little later. Still no toilet paper from the two stalls…I get that you were busy. the potatoes I had had a very good flavor and I liked them, but they weren’t really hot. They were just warm. Another person at my table got the Short rib pasta, and that was delicious. The noise level was pretty bad also. It was a very pretty and pleasant setting. The service was pretty good and attentive but had to ask a couple of times for things. I was disappointed as I heard good things and was anxious to try your place. I will give it another try and hope it goes better than today.

    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.
