About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails
Good for groups

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.

Pretty trendy place. Cool atmosphere and pretty good food. Cocktails were probably the best part of the night along with our service. Food was just above average. My wife had the Yuzu lobster pasta which she enjoyed. My braised short rib was not really braised. It was actually tough and the vegetable side was not cooked. Both the carrots and haricot verts pretty much raw. My wife said she would go back for the lobster yuzu. I’ll try something else next time.

The server would not accommodate dietary restrictions nor offer an alternative to a spicy Bloody Mary.

Had a little issue with the shareable dishes coming out of the kitchen, but the manager took care of us, the way a good manger should. Food and drinks were excellent. We will be back again.

Everything was great except the fact that our waiter did not put in my husbands dinner order and did not check back to see if everything was ok. Had he checked back he would have known . The restaurant did the right thing and comped the meal. It really was not that busy do maybe the waiter was new.

The place has a beautiful vibe with decor that reminded us of another of the owner’s restaurant. The service was exceptional thanks to Paola!! She explained the menu and offer suggestions on what is popular to order. We started with beverages that met our taste profiles thanks to Paola! We started with the garlic shrimp and goat cheese dip, both unique and delicious! She brought extra bread without our even asking! We had the salmon, Chilean sea bass and chicken Milanese. Everything is unique and interesting! What a treat that the executive chef brought out our food and we had a lovely conversation with her! Kudos to her for the food and the entire staff for an enjoyable evening!!

The wait staff and hosts seem a bit distant at first, and it takes some time to warm them up and get them to be more sociable. However, aside from that, the food is excellent. The presentation is impressive, and during my last two visits, I truly enjoyed myself.
