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.

    First time here. Met with a group of 6 with reservations. SUPERB! All the way around! Staff, food, ambiance, drinks! We all definitely were impressed and said we would be back. Even stopped to tell the staff as much. Not crowded (Monday night) and noise level was perfect. We never couldn't hear each other. Tables are large and roomy. Can't wait to go back!

    Absolutely fabulous place and great food!! Only complaint is the overhead lights that point on the booths are very bright like a spotlight and kill the A+ ambiance so it’s a C- for that reason only in that area otherwise this restaurant is fantastic!!

    The round tables for 5 or 6 people are 36 inches and way too small to accommodate that many people. It took them 20 minutes to bring our bottle of wine to our table. Water glasses were empty and we had to ask them to clear our appetizer plates as they finally brought our entrees. We want them to succeed, so we will try again, but please hire more competent servers and staff!

    From the moment you walk in and see the candelabra chandeliers and velvet curtains, you’re transported into another world. The restaurant is beautiful with unique, odd decor and wallpaper as well as tons of stacks of old books. It feels like you’re in a vintage library of some sort. We received a hand-written welcome card at our table since we were there to celebrate our daughter’s birthday- very nice touch. Our waitress was so friendly and helpful to recommend their best appetizers. Our food was delicious! We ordered the chicken picatta, a smash burger with garlic fries, and the short rib pasta. Next up, we all received a complimentary glass of champagne to toast to the birthday girl! We tried their banana cheesecake and hazelnut desserts which were really yummy. Our waitress made our evening enjoyable and it was a special place to celebrate a birthday. We will definitely be returning!

    This was our first time dining here. What a wonderful experience. The moment we walked in the decor was a cross between a speakeasy and somewhere in New Orleans, just beautiful. We were seated at a beautiful booth, great service. Food was absolutely delicious. Then came dessert, just a sundae, it was delicious. The pricing is very good as well. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
