Restaurants near Orange County Zoo

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!!

Management is TOP TIER! Party of 8, had an issue with our waiter (no need to put him on blast but good grief was he unprofessional and rude), we spoke to the manager who apologized AND switched our waiter immediately - she was SO professional and gave us exceptional service. We come here for special occasions and the customer recovery was very much appreciated. Thank you Orange Hill for acknowledging our issue and providing an immediate turn around. One thing to note, the expelled waiter returned to our table and made us uncomfortable by mentioning he had the table “taken from him”…we didn’t need to here from him and not sure why he felt the need to make that statement as we were already made aware, hence why we spoke with Management. Anywho, we will continue to return - delicious food and beautiful restaurant!

It is our favorite Italian restaurant. We have been going there since it opened and Bianca was there most nights. Noe her daughter is there most nights. The food is fresh and very tasty. The service is warm and helpful. The wine list offers good value wines. They have wine tasting events which are great fun and introduce new tasty wines with specially prepared food. I very much recommend this restaurant!

The food was amazing and everything was on a timely manner. To ask drinks to appetizers to the meal. The service is excellent. From the valet to to the host to the server and busboy. Definitely worth it.

Our server was attentive , nice and engaging. We will be back again and again!
