Our waitress Patricia was awesome and the food was impeccable. The hostesses were friendly and was patient with my mobility issues. I was very happy with the ramp to enter. I have been a patron before covid and am so happy this restaurant survived and is thriving. My whole party enjoyed every bit of the restaurant and we will all be back soon.

Dinner with my wife. Restaurant had great reviews which prompted us to try. The drinks were good. Wine choice, good as well. I had Salmon and crab. Absolutely flavorful. The only negative is that it had to much sauce. Entrée didn’t need as much. Same with my wife’s entree. The food was cooked so well why smother it with sauce/gravy.

Fabulous menu, was disappointed in service and in one meal. Steak greatly undercooked, had to send back twice before quit and didn’t have a meal. Server didn’t check in. They took off the steak, but one member of the party didn’t eats. No concessions were made for that.

We love the food, service and the warmth at The Standard. Food on New Year’s Eve was not as excellent as it usually is. Understandably things were not being cooked in small batches and that may have affected the quality of food. Overall still a place I see myself going again for a date night or to celebrate .

Went to early New Year’s Eve dinner. Selected this place because of menu items listed online that are hard to find. Beef carpaccio and foi gras with risotto were going to be my dinner along with asparagus soup. Only asparagus soup was available. Very disappointed. Asparagus soup was good though.

My service is typically great, it's the reason why we return every holiday. This time my food wasn't prepared to normal standards, and I had a server that wasn't very attentive. Still the atmosphere was nice, and the band was a good touch.

We LOVE The Standard!!! Menu is HUGE and so diverse + well thought out. The olive dip that comes with bread is one of the highlights of every visit. I get something different every time since the menu is so expansive, the Carne Asada was incredible this time. Calvin was the best server, will come back forever :)

Always a wonderful experience … we come back often as this is a good place in the middle for east side and west side friends to meet. Special sea bass and saffron risotto was amazing and I highly recommend the beet salad. Michael and and Said were extremely gracious. We love this place and will continue to come back!
