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.

    We enjoyed an outstanding Christmas dinner dining experience. There were 16 in our party. Food was excellent, having a children’s menu was greatly appreciated, and our servers, Amber and Jessica, were outstanding…fun, professional, friendly and efficient. Thank you for a fantastic and memorable evening.

    The ambiance is fantastic! Great for galpals and sexy for a romantic dinner for two! The food is amazing! We were there to celebrate my sister’s birthday; they had the short rib grilled cheese sandwich & I had the burger. I do not know how they prepare the French fries but they’re addicting! I cannot say enough about the quality of Story!
