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.

Place is nice, I really like the decor, customer service is good, friendly and attentive, however, the food is where they are going wrong, little to no flavor on food, that was disappointing, my steak was lackluster, my husband chicken bland... the potato puree wasn't a puree, there were big lumps of potatoes in it, we didn't want to complain as it was Christmas, but yeah, not sure I would go back

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!

Chicken Piccata was very bland and lacked taste. Filet Mignon was tender, but also lacked taste.

The manager and our waitress were great. It was super busy - we had a reservation at noon but didn’t get seared until a half an hour later. Drinks were delicious but my friend’s food was cold but mine was very good so it was an okay experience.

I had an amazing dining experience at Story in Anaheim! From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the gorgeous decor. The combination of chic chandeliers, stylish chairs, and swanky decorations created an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and welcoming. The service was equally impressive. Our server was not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable, answering our questions with ease and making great recommendations. And then there was the food—absolutely incredible! Every dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and prepared to perfection. It’s clear the kitchen takes great pride in their craft. I can’t wait to go back!!
