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.

    Food was delicious and service was excellent. Dining experience was very lovely until closer to the end. I noticed that they kept asking to take our plates away when we weren’t finished eating. My drink was being taken away even before I got a chance to say I wasn’t finished. Come to find out they were trying to rush us out due to the holiday rush. One of the gals working there asked if we could move to the bar after they force cleared our plates. That turned me off a bit. Other than that, everything else was great.

    What a cool vibe in this restaurant! Hooray to unique decor! Loved the lighting especially. Made a reservation for lunch on a Thursday. They were quite busy which means they will probably be around for awhile. Our short rib pasta and chicken sandwiches were very good. There are many other menu items that I will go back for. Anaheim Hills is lucky to have this fun, new dining option!

    The food was ok, but the service was not good. We had to ask for the server several times. She asked my to pass my plate to her while I was taking my last bite of food. I will say that our drinks were good.

    First time here. Met with a group of 6 with reservations. SUPERB! All the way around! Staff, food, ambiance, drinks! We all definitely were impressed and said we would be back. Even stopped to tell the staff as much. Not crowded (Monday night) and noise level was perfect. We never couldn't hear each other. Tables are large and roomy. Can't wait to go back!

    Absolutely fabulous place and great food!! Only complaint is the overhead lights that point on the booths are very bright like a spotlight and kill the A+ ambiance so it’s a C- for that reason only in that area otherwise this restaurant is fantastic!!

    The round tables for 5 or 6 people are 36 inches and way too small to accommodate that many people. It took them 20 minutes to bring our bottle of wine to our table. Water glasses were empty and we had to ask them to clear our appetizer plates as they finally brought our entrees. We want them to succeed, so we will try again, but please hire more competent servers and staff!
