   Simply wonderful. 5 newbies, of the party of 7, who have never happened upon Story. They were also very pleased with the look and feel of Story. Admittedly, I have bragged about “Fried Chicken Night” and we all ordered the fried chicken. No one was disappointed !! While 7 women of a certain age may look daunting, our wait staff person, Jeremy, was undaunted! He had to deal with a few “what did you say” and “i don’t think my hearing aid is working” but he smiled and carried on. Everyone loved the food and atmosphere! I look forward to more evenings at Story!

   The food was fantastic, however the service was mediocre. Restuarant is noisy on the main floor, but is much quieter with a hightop

   We were celebrating our 18th anniversary at Story and could not have selected a better restaurant to enjoy the occasion. This was during restaurant week and we had an early dinner reservation. The ambience of Story is both comfortable and chic without being ostentatious. if there is a better preparation of a beef rib in the KC area, I don’t know where it would be. And, astoundingly I had the pleasure of eating the best onion rings of my life. That may seem trivial but it was totally an incredible accompaniment to the beef rib. Caesar salad was crisp and delicious. The dessert donuts with a lovely dipping cream was sublime. Selection of wine choices were very good. Our waiter was professional and pleasant. This was our first time dining at Story and without a doubt will be back soon.

   Wow! Every item was served to perfection. The lobster tagliatelle, my Caesar, the salmon and my fave, the lemon cake. Scrumptious! My Old Fashion was the finest I’ve had in a long time.Service was wonderful.

   Came for Restaurant Week - first time here. Our meal was fantastic- enjoyed chatting with the bartender. Looking forward to our next visit! One ambience note - the color choice for the bathroom (highlighter green) seemed quite out of place - felt like a festive MX restaurant bathroom rather than upscale dining.

   Absolutely satisfied. The waiter was very professional. Non intrusive at all. His presence was noted only when our wine glasses needed refill. No unnecessary questions. The food was pure perfection. Portions were just right. White tablecloths and warm dishes. Such a joy!

    Absolutely amazing food, and atmosphere. Ambience was nice, and intimate. Perfect dinner spot for a date night without a huge crowd. Our server Josh was also amazing. Definitely will be coming back. I was nervous at firs upon arrival that I would be treated differently being the only minority, but I was treated the same as everyone else.

    Not your chain restaurant. You can tell this food is prepared carefully by a chef. The lemon vinaigrette is delicious & every dish that has a sauce is SO good!!

    Amazing food, presentation and service. We had the salmon and the spare ribs. All I can say is wow! Try the duck empanadas and the Brussels sprout, you’d be glad you did. Also, no hassle parking. Plenty of spaces fairly close by. I love that!! We made reservations to come back in a couple of weeks.

    We had been so looking forward to our dinner at Story with another couple whom we invited to dine with us that evening. We were seated close to the front door which was rather chilly and there were other tables available. Our waiter was rather matter of fact and lacked making you feel welcome. The wait staff has as much to do with your overall experience as your food does. The atmosphere is rather cold and sterile and that’s coming from someone who is a minimalist. I’m bummed that we had a very expensive evening out and all walked away thinking WOW that wasn’t the evening/dining experience that we were hoping for or expected…

    Judging from other reviews, we must have gotten the 'server in training.' Food was excellent (although more salty than we normally enjoy) and the presentation was lovely. But our service was questionable. Timing of courses was odd (salad as the last course?), we had to ask for cutlery and water, and response times were sluggish. For the price and previous reviews, we expected a flawless experience. This wasn't the case.

    We say ot all of the time... Story doesn't get the recognition it deserves. The food is always excellent and the service is always exemplary. Its never a cheap night out, but we never regret it. The only negative is that, with the small tables and plexiglass dividers, it always feels almost clinical... it also, honestly, was not fun being near the door whe. It was in the single digits outside.

    One of the 4 restaurants in our rotation. We are there almost every 1-2 months. Food quality is consistent. The frites are one of the top in the city. Just tastes good and service staff is the best. KC Magazine made a big mistake not naming it in their top 40.
