Reviews
The decor is cute, very Instagramable…
My husband and I arrived at 11:50am and at the time we sat at the bar it wasn’t busy at all but still took 15 minutes to get a drink. Then it took at least another 15 minutes for us to place our order. We had a simple order and the food came out hot with not too long of a wait. But because of how busy the bartender was, we weren’t offered another drink and took at least 30 minutes after we were done eating to get the bill. Not sure that we would come back for a weekend brunch nor busy dinner hours. Hopefully the owners/managers can invest in hiring/scheduling properly for a best guest experience.
Story Bar & Kitchen serves up delicious food in a place in a fun, fantasy-like setting — just be prepared to pay premium prices.
The Setting:
As the name implies, this establishment aims to give you a dining experience that whisks you to another land, someplace you might find in a fable or Disney movie. Think “Alice in Wonderland” meets “Beauty and the Beast.” The booths are large, comfy, and decorated with a book motif. There’s unique artwork and dim lighting. Heck, even the bathroom has faux alligator skin wallpaper. The cool aesthetics make for a fun outing.
The Food:
I’ve only been here once, so I can’t speak for the entire menu, but what I did have was delicious. We went during Happy Hour (more on this later) and ordered miso butter noodles, braised short rib tacos, and parmesan garlic fries.
The miso butter noodles were actually more spicy than expected (normally red pepper flakes are pretty mild) but the texture, flavors, and smells were spot on. The tacos were excellent — picture an authentic Mexican street taco, but elevated on every level. The fries were solid, but not the best I’ve ever had. The garlic and seasoning were plentiful and tasty, but the texture of the fries themselves were just average.
The Service:
Everyone there was super friendly, polite, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Can’t say enough good things about the staff.
The Pricing:
Here lies the rub — if you want delicious food, service, and atmosphere, you’re gonnna have to pay for it. And at Story you’ll pay a pretty penny. I would consider this a premium sitdown restaurant and would go here on special occasions or, as I did recently, during Happy Hour when a shortened menu provides good discounts.
The Conclusion:
My true rating for Story is 4.5 out of 5 — I subtracted a half-point for the steep prices and the fries, which were satisfactory but not the perfect. However, since I can’t give a half-star rating here, I’ll round up to 5 out of 5 because I like Story so much I’m willing to overlook the minor flaws.
I went for the tea time experience.
We received one tea bag per person.
No offer for additional.
Tea bread sandwiches were dry.
The tray was extremely wobbly.
Waiter was oversat so he response time was bad so we gave up trying to order more food.
