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.

    I’ve been wanting to go here for months and i was so happy to have scored a reservation. Loved the cozy, dark, enchanting atmosphere. Our server was a little slow and didn’t check on us often. However, she was nice and our food was great!

    We loved it but would say that when we asked for the starters to come out first with some time between the mains to be like 10 mins and every dish came out at once, we were feeling rushed. We received our cocktails after all of our food. Should at least get our drinks first and then the first app and then our mains.

    This place is the Best value in Northern Orange County. Been there half a dozen times and have had several different dishes from their flat bread, burgers to Chilean sea bass. Everything is excellent from quality of food to service. Derek the server is amazing. Remembers your order and never writes it down, also remembers the last thing you ordered the last time you were there which was over a month ago. Can't recommend this place enough. Excellent!!!

    We celebrated New Year's Eve at Story with another couple We brought our own wine Our waitress was very accommodating opened and served the wine She then presented the pre fix menu We said we were not ready to order yet and to come back She gave us plenty of time to decide We declined the pre fix menu she was bummed because there was a contest but it was just too much food Cesar salad was delicious a little too much dressing for me my husband and I split it Tomato bisque was very good both of our friends ordered it and enjoyed it The guys got the short rib pasta Both enjoyed it I ordered the salmon. Unfortunately it was just a little under for me, raw and mushy in the middle The sides and top tastes good My friend got the filet mignon, it was ok not impressed especially for the price We shared a yummy dessert butter cookie something..... This is the second time I've been to Story I will come back but next time I'm getting the burger or a pizza they looked and smelled delicious Good restaurant Courteous servers

    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
