With its rock walls and gentle waterfall, Storytellers captures the spirit of ancient Indian dwellings. The name comes from a Native American tradition of passing on history through storytelling. It is the perfect setting for an intimate dinner or small group celebration. Choose a fine vintage from the extensive wine list, which includes the local varietals of the Verde Valley wineries. Our Executive Chef has created a menu that tantalizes the taste buds, which distinguishes Storytellers as THE place for fine dining in the Verde Valley.
Steakhouse classics served in a cave-like setting with a waterfall in the Cliff Castle Casino Hotel.

NYE dinner with wife, loved the cave like experience and Manager had his formal James Bond attire on and flexed his famous martini line, we loved it. Waiter was very knowledgeable and helped us find a wine we both could enjoy and share. I chose their 4 course NYE special, Ceviche, Calmari w radishes n jalapeños both were fantastic, then came the flank steak w chimichurri and yavapia fries yeah buddy! And wifes filet was thick and perfectly cooked and we shared a soft cheesecake like dessert. It was more than we usually spend but we felt it was very well spent and so thankful we did, finished off the flank w my eggs in the morning and that chimichurri sauce was amazing, did get a few stares at our hotel breakfast and the smell was awesome haha! Our compliments to the Chef and Staff for a great experience.

Awesome spot that is so perfect for a romantic dinner! The booths are like little notched out caves, and the ambiance is perfect. The food was mouthwatering, my steak cooked to perfection, and the sides were fresh and delicious as well. The pork chops were huge but cooked perfectly as well, and every bite was scrumptious. It was tempting to fill up on the fresh bread with garlic butter. Last but not least, our server was amazing! She’s only been there for about 2 weeks, but she was rocking it like a pro. She was attentive, honest with her opinions, and took great care of us.

What a gem in this simple Casino! We celebrated a birthday there and after a unpleasant experience with a worker at the casino, this restaurant saved the weekend! The host was so funny and made you feel welcomed. The waiter was honestly the best! Friendly, and treated us like we were in a very fancy expensive restaurant off in Beverly Hills! Lol The food was delicious! Decent price for the amount of food. We will definitely be dining here again!

Highly recommend. Easily the greatest meal I have ever had in my life, my boyfriends too! The steak and seafood Mac and cheese was incredible and so delicious.
I loved the atmosphere and the intimate setting. We had a booth all the way in the corner of the restaurant and it was perfect!
Our server, AJ, was fantastic. He was attentive, knowledgeable, courteous and kind. The chef came out and asked several customers if they were enjoying the food which I thought was fantastic!
Definitely recommend making a reservation!
Well worth every penny, we will be coming back here again 🙂

Storytelling Steakhouse at Cliff Castle Casino offers an exceptional dining experience. The food is outstanding, from the tender filet mignon to the creamy Alfredo penne pasta. The service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is inviting, with a unique restaurant design. It is a must-visit for anyone craving top-notch cuisine and memorable moments.
Thank you so much Christine and Ian!

The service was superb. We had Kimberly. She was terrific. We were seated in a booth with a view of the casino so I requested another booth for a more pleasant experience. They were accommodating about this. The menu has changed since we were here before. This was unfortunate. The only appetizer that looked interesting to me was the octopus. It was tasty but over cooked and extremely rubbery. The aioli dipping sauce was delicious. The soup of the day was French Onion. I usually love French Onion Soup because of the broiled crusty cheese on top of croutons. Not here. The cheese was merely melted on top of one average crouton. My partner’s Caesar Salad was delicious, however. I ordered the seafood trio. Whatever the sauce was for the scallops didn’t go well with scallops so I scraped it off. No sauce was offered for the shrimp so I just squeezed the lemon on them. That was only adequate. The lobster flavor was delicious but it was terribly overcooked. I had to borrow my partner’s steak knife to cut into it. His fillet mignon dinner was very good. Steer clear of the Octopus, French Onion Soup and Seafood Trio.

Pretty good, but could have been better. My catch of the day (Halibut) was overcooked and it was very disappointing, but my husband’s Rib Eye was cooked perfect. Check the photos. Dark, private romantic atmosphere. Unfortunately, they don’t give you anything special for your birthday, no complimentary dessert for celebrations. The sad part is my grandparents have been coming here for years for celebrations, so when I was in town from across the country it was kind of disappointing to not have the full celebration with a dessert included like they use too.

Went for our anniversary. Luckily, we had almost the whole place to ourselves. There were only a couple other tables filled. The food was phenomenal. And the service was great.
