Restaurant Story
Story is one of my favourite fine dining restaurant in London. They way they present every single dish were all well thought. It showed on each dish the effort and attention to details the chef had put into. This is the first time I went to Story after their renovation. So the menu itself was different from the pre-renovation time. I missed some of the dishes I enjoyed in the past. Good that the chef kept a few dishes or main elements of the dishes unchanged. The highlight for me is the lamb dish which was cooked to perfection. Flavours of all the dishes worked and complemented all the main ingredients. Although the price of their tasting menu has increased, if you divided into 10 courses, it’s really not expensive at all. It’s always a special dining experience at Story and I look forward to my next visit soon.

There is absolutely no surprise why Story has two Michelin stars. From beginning to end, welcoming service to check, our experience was incredible. Each course was more interesting and delicious than the next! The wine recommendations were superb - my husband and I ended up ordering two bottles! Our favorite courses were Chef’s “Oreos” and the edible candle with bread - genius! Also: buy the oil!Also huge kudos to Dovile, the restaurant manager, for her stellar service and recommendations. This is not a restaurant to be missed in London.

This was our first time at Story. Incredible food!! Highly recommended.Location:It is a very classy and elegant place. We were seated along glass wall, view from where is amazing.Food:The menu is handed to you at the end of the meal, which is perfect as each dish is then a surprise with a back story. Highlights for me were, Custard with a twist of pumpkin seeds and excellent oscietra sturgeon caviar, Scallops, Parker house roll and Rhubarb & Custard. Look out for “Storeos” (oneof the snacks), you will fall in love with Story right then and there!Service:Staff is very courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. Though a visit by Chef Sellers to our table would have been splendid. Hopefully next time!Wine Pairing:I recommend going for a classic option which is a combination of cocktails and wines. This is by far the best pairing I have experienced to date! Drinks are carefully selected to match each dish. And they complement the food amazingly well. My favourite was Pedrino Pedro Ximénez Sherry.

What can I say except wow"? Incredible food that tells the story of Chef Tom's life. Amazing drinks pairings that go beyond the usual wine match

Story’s was recommended to me by a friend, we tend to only dine around central and west London- but it was totally worth the trip! We also found a perfect parking spot right outside. The ambience was really relaxing, a perfect date night venue. The staff were wonderful and incredibly organised, we really enjoyed hearing about all of the little details for each dish and drink. Some of the highlights of the meal were definitely the grilled oyster, our first time trying oysters warm and wow it really was delicious. The custard, cauliflower caviar dish was beautiful. The candle that melted and that was edible was a really fun touch, so creative! We really enjoyed the homemade honeycomb and the little fudge candies wrapped in edible paper. It was my first time trying rabbit and a squab pigeon, all surprises on the menu that I wasn’t expecting! All in all it was definitely one of the best taster menus we’ve had, highly recommended!

Epic lunchtime tasting menu. The food was outstanding. I have wanted to come here for a long time and it did not disappoint. The vibe in the restaurant is a little strange, as is the layout, and i wish the seating was higher up so you could see the kitchen brigade hard at work but the food redeems all of this. Would absolutely recommend this restaurant

It is certainly an experience! Beautifully presented food which is very well cooked. The service is excellent. 10 courses prepared depending on your likes and dislikes with our without a wine pairing. All excellent apart maybe from the snacks starters which although very pretty seemed a little underseasoned

Surprise meal for my 30th, and it was remarkable. Story is one of those places where you are constantly awestruck from the moment you open the door. Every dish has a beautiful story behind it. There are some lovely surprises, and it is well worth the price tag. Highly recommend the drinks pairing alongside the tasting menu. When we were there they had specials of the day, and we had both (Truffle risotto and Langoustines! - 10/10). Easily the finest Michelin star restaurant I have been to.

Had an amazing dinner here! The food was delicious and the service was friendly and fun.We got the 10course menu and the cocktail and wine drinks pairing. This definitely added to our lovely experience.All the dishes were delicious but my faves were the lobster bisque custard with caviar (don’t get the other cold caviar fruit salad choice, it does not compare to the custard) all the snacks at the beginning, the oyster, the cod main, and the beef dripping candle with bread! I felt the desserts were not the strong point of the menu. And the wagyu crumpet was a little too much crumpet and not enough wagyu. But we were also given a nice jar of hand harvested raw honey to take home. Overall an exceptional experience and would definitely recommend!

Restaurant Story was on my go-to places list when we planned our trip to London and we booked our table for 2 people for a Friday lunch. Reservation is a must and its not that easy to get a table for certain popular timeslots.It’s located in a corner of a park and is close to the signature landmark of London, Bridge Tower. The decor is classy and elegant with romantic ambiance & beautiful furniture. The staff was well-trained, friendly and served everything in etiquette. I was in my 7th month pregnancy and they were careful about my diet restrictions.We both had their 7-course tasting menu ($130) and it was one of the best & price worthy dining experiences we have ever had. There was no menu presented, even online, since they would make adjustment based on ingredients available so every dish was a surprise for us.From amuse small bite, appetizer, bread, entree to dessert, we were satisfied with both the visual and sense of taste. The food was overall delicious, delicate and various with texture. Our favorites were “Candle “, which is bread with butter, and “Duck”, which is grilled duck breast & leg.We could feel how Tom Seller cares about what they serve and love the stories behind each dish, which was also the reason how they named the restaurant.
