Their menu change everyday. They provide a 3 course menu; with options of meat or vege for entree and main. We tried both vege and meat dishes. They are Okay, on the day we go, all dishes are a little sour. I think I will go back again when we go to Christchurch again.
Story is a most excellent restaurant. They have a 3-course set menu they change every week. This week we started with an excellent salmon and juniper dish. This is a classic west-coast USA salmon combination executed perfectly, and the chardonnay pairing was just wonderful! The second course was a duck a l'orange to die for. I have always loved this dish, and made it several times myself - they executed it perfectly. But for me, the best dish was the dessert. It was a magnificent combination of lemon curds, tiny dollops of cream, pear puree, two types of biscuits, and two types of meringue. Each part of the dessert was delicious, but put together it was truly sublime. It was so good that while I sipped the dessert wine - which as excellent - I quickly decided to have sips of water to separate the wine and the dessert as there is no wine that could possibly match the quality of the gestalt experience of eating that dessert. My wife and I will be back, and I recommend anyone go visit - repeatedly!
Great little place that does a seasonal menu that changes daily. They were very accommodating last minute and the waiter was great. We had amazing meal - flavour that slapped the tastebuds. Would come back!
