Restaurant Story London

Left a bit hungry and wanting for more, but everything was just delicious

Brilliant experience. Food was excellent and beautiful. Innovative in places and just fun and tasty.
Not sure my palate needed the expensive wine pairing. It had some fun things and nice things but I think some wines were over sold (les alps looking at you)
Staff were good. Establishment was good. Definitely recommended.

Food is spectacularly good and the service is excellent. The price is also spectacular but a truly great place for a special treat.

It was an incredible experience and we loved having Tom, the chef, come visit with us. The food is superb and the service top-notch.

Superb food, exquisitely presented. Food is as good as it gets and they went out of their way to accommodate four different dietary preferences across our table. Presentation has gotten more polished over the years. While we liked it better when there was a story behind the meal, it is still one of our favorite restaurants in London.

outstanding food / tasting menue, wine pairing and service. worth visiting.

The dishes are great, the white truffle cream main course is more greasy, and the edible wax oil is very creative. After eating, a menu with fire lacquer printing will be given, leaving the mystery to the end, and the next time will be richer Set Menu selection would be better

Dining at Story is an absolute pleasure. We started at 18:30 and left the venue close to midnight and it felt like an hour or so. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The food is divine!

Amazing evening with fabulous food. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion.

An experience to remember. Very well thought through combination of flavours. Loved the presentation and timing of every meal. Highly recommended!

Simply incredible food, location and experience. Absolutely faultless and enjoyed every course. Attentive service.
Only comment would be that we could hear simmering tension between staff... one member of staff spoke abruptly and, in my opinion, quite rudely to other front of house staff. Did not detract from quality of food obviously.
Would definitely revisit.

No set menu, choices is cooked by the chief on the day. Food was great but be open minded as you don’t know what food would turn up on your table! Seating was long.....was there for 4hrs lunch with a group of 5, would be nice if you have not catch up with a friend for a long time... Over all it’s a great restaurant with various choices of food you would not eat outside.

What an unbelievable experience! Every single thing about Restaurant Story is perfection - please go!!!

A true gastronomic experience.

A visit to Story is not only about the magnificant food but the marvellous experience the team offer.

Wonderful experience, great food and drinks. The staff are very knowledgeable and present everything beautifully.

Absolute perfection - every single dish was outstanding! The wine pairing was a great idea too.

Outstanding food and service. Excellent value and a fantastic experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Hopefully that parking could be easier in the future but this is not down to the restaurant.

Great tasting menu, thoughtfully prepared menu and nice touches throughout.

Wait pay bill for 30 minutes.

Incredible experience.

As usual, simply exceptional

Absolutely delicious stunning original food , a little bit pricey and Ill fitting waiters jackets but highly recommended!!!

Out of this world. Food.. drinks.. helpfulness & professionalism of staff when I had trouble my bank card.. 11/10, would do again 🤩

Amazing all round experience

Enchanting and deliciously prepared food

Wow!

We were lucky enough to get a lunch reservation on a Saturday. The restaurant is small, with maybe ten tables, and has a lovely view of the garden outside. The wait staff is wonderful and attentive, and the kitchen is open, so all can observe.

Our meal was an eight course tasting menu, although we started with 4 “snacks,” one bite tastes. These set up the meal well; as each was unique and an array of tastes and textures.

The highlights from our courses for me were the main course of lamb. We were shown our partially cooked rack, and then it was brought out perfectly cooked, accompanied by a smoked aubergine purée, potato galette and sweetbreads. This was followed by the Paddington, a brioche with marmelade (such incredible flavor) on top of grated fois gras. Served beautifully and delicious. Of the two desserts, the almond and dill dessert was awesome. You get to mix it all together and the flavors are wonderful, not to say the rest of the courses weren’t delicious as well.

The drink pairings were perfect. A combinations of wine and 2 cocktails, they were all perfectly paired with the food. The sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain each taste in detail.

We finished with some extra sweets, all of which were delicious.

Between the food, the staff and the setting, this is the perfect place for a special occasion, provided you can get in.

Perhaps the best restaurant experience I have ever had. The combination of the flavors in the food was like listening to a symphony. Every flavor is distinct yet in combination they create this rousing experience. There were many moments when I went "oooh" as the flavors exploded in my mouth. The service was as if you have a personal chef with his own staff. They were very precise in trying to identify my special needs and desires. I had omitted to identify that I should not eat too much Vitamin K which is found in green leafy vegetables. One of the courses was essentially based in a spinach soup. After I only had a small amount the server reported this to the chef who came out personally to apologise, even though it was my fault. Thereafter they adjusted the menu to take account of that specific requirement. The 10 courses were expertly proportioned so you do not feel excessively full after the meal. Oh wow! That's all I can say.

Cumpleaños de mi esposa.

We opted for the 10-course taster menu, but in total, had around 13 dishes across our 4.5-hour stay - the time really did fly by!

The food was delicious (as expected) and inventively arranged and created surprise on multiple occasions.

Service was impeccable and the staff made every effort to make our night out a unique and memorable one.

Would highly recommend and certainly be back!

Transformation culinary and unique beverage paring. Hard to recall a better experience in London!

Excellent service with a unique menu and great experience in a very relaxed environment.

Excellent dinner, superb food and highly attentive service

Best food i’ve ever had, totally got my dietary needs, great service, We will be back!

The whole experience was special. We were well looked after by a fab team and the food was amazing.

This is not just “going out for dinner”. Having eaten at many high end and Michelin restaurants, Restaurant Story epitomises the experience of eating at a Michelin restaurant.

Initially in the reserve list for dinner, we decided to book for lunch. This is where the experience started. We received a call five minutes after to booking to check details, etc then five minutes after that we got a call asking if we would like to change to a dinner reservation - excellent. Jenny confirmed allergies and dislikes and en email confirmation was received.

On arrival, we were given a warm welcome and shown straight to our table in the intimate dining room. An envelope with our names in was on the table, containing a brief letter wishing us a happy anniversary. Essentially, each table is a “Kitchen Table” of sorts, with the finishing kitchen being open for all to see in. Again, allergies and dislikes were checked, a pre-meal drink offered and the menu and wine pairings explained - with no idea given to what the menu will be. There’s also a supplementary course - which we opted for.

I won’t spoil things by detailing the meal we had. Suffice to say, we were taken on a culinary journey which showcased some fine, classic techniques and pairings along with some which made you stop and think, but by the time your tastebuds caught up with your thoughts, your mind was blown with thoughts of “It shouldn’t, but it does”.

Often overlooked, but in my opinion an essential part of the experience, is the service. At Restaurant Story, the service was impeccable. From being welcomed by Jenny, to the Sommelier, to the entire waiting team - second to none. A small intimate dining room yet you felt like you were the only people they were serving. Above all else, there is no pretence here. We had full on conversations - initiated by us (they will leave you alone if you wish) which felt like we were chatting with old friends.

Thank you all so much!

An over the top experience that somehow was still balanced and focused. The story the meal told was lovely and we couldn’t have been more comfortable in the setting and with the staff. Quite an indulgence.

Amazing food and insane service - would highly recommend for a special occasion

We had a fabulous time: the food was absolutely wonderful as was the service. The food is inventive without being gimmicky The atmosphere was relaxed and as it looks like there is only space for 25 ish covers it feels intimate and personal. The head chef came to our table several times to talk to us which was a great touch. Will absolutely be coming back.

Food was stunning and service was amazing.
