    Excellent in every way. The food is second to none. Extensive wine list with many affordable choices as well as many by the glass. I wish they would bring back the wine tasting dinners. I attended one this year but would love to see many offerings a year. A great place for any special occasion or a romantic date night.

    Improvements needed. Few times we requested low tables and they want to seat us in high ones due to availability. We waited this time for a low table to be comfortable. Better planning is needed. Moreover the salmon was salty. Less salty would have been perfect. It was perfectly cooked. The desserts were disappointing. The carrot cake was a muffin with weak flavor. The brownie felt like chewing on layers of chocolate bars. Overpriced for low standards food dishes. We normally like Story but these two last times we’ve been there made question to come back.

    We celebrated our anniversary there and had a lovely dinner. The staff was very welcoming and our server was excellent. I had the salmon and it was the best I have had anywhere. I highly recommend Story.
