The Standard was perfection in dining. Last week we celebrated our anniversary with a meal at the Standard. The hostess was welcoming and explained the history while seating us in the bar area. Micheal the bartender poured nice strong tasty drinks. Our meal consisted of the lobster bisque appetizer, the rack of lamb (medium rare!) and the Standard Filet. We finished with the chocolate cookie w ice cream dessert. Everything was truly amazing. David our server gave us outstanding service and his knowledge of the ingredients and preparation of the dishes was next level. The assistant server was professional and attentive. Atmosphere and ambiance at the Standard completed the night. It felt like a different place in time. Thanks to the David and the team at the Standard for an epic night !

The first stop on my #nashville trip was at The Standard at the Smith House which is supposedly the oldest building in the city from what I understand. The vast home is deceivingly large with a massive dining area. The upstairs is home to a very exclusive members only cigar bar which adds to the intrigue. The service and food were both phenomenal here. The beef tartare would be a repeat for sure and the lamb chops were tender and flavorful. The hit though was the pork chop which was soft and buttery, just loaded with taste. Turned out to be a great way to start the trip!

Love this place! Excellent service and dinner was delicious. I had the standard filet, and it was cooked to perfection. The bar is a must stop, amazing atmosphere & the bartenders we're on point. Highly recommend.

Your meal might have been cool, but was it a private table & special menu in the Standard Whiskey collection room cool? I dare say not! We had curated large appetizers, cocktails, and wine to start, with crab bisque and salad second course followed by Standard signature filet, seabass, and salmon, finished off by house made cheesecake, key lime pie, and coffee.
Everything was perfect, delicious, and for a premium prime steakhouse, surprisingly reasonable on the bill!
Our sides included green beans, mash potato, mac & cheese, creamed corn, and amazing bread.

Wow! Words can't describe this place you have to go there. Absolutely amazing! You know it's going to be great when they don't have salt and pepper on the table and your offered 3 different types of water to choose from.

I wish my pictures could better represent how incredible our dinner was at The Standard. This was one of the best dinners we've ever had (ever) especially because of how fancy and unique the experience was.
The staff welcomed us by name at the door, gave us a tour, and told us about the history of the building. Each of the dishes was so beautifully made!
It was well worth the price for a fancy, special night out.

Skip the steakhouse chains.
Lobster, petit filet (great quality and cooked perfectly) and the best homemade Mac n cheese (no bread crumbs)! Wine list is exceptional. Ambiance is romantic. David A. is a pro at service. Knowledgeable and attentive without hovering. Highly suggest a drink in the bar prior to dinner.

I always enjoy taking myself out when traveling, and finding something that my taste buds deserve is nice. I had never been to The Standard, and figured during my first Nashville visit why not really treat myself to something good. The Standard is that and more!
First, the owner, Sharon is an amazing host. We were informed about the lovely history of the establishment, she led us to our table, and made sure we were comfortable where we sat.
Next, the atmosphere. Very timely, feels large, feels special, and feels cozy. This building has been around for over a century but they took care of it, and I felt like I found a secret treasure coming here.
The staff was very kind and dressed well. The menus are slim and simple, which is great. I did not feel at all overwhelmed by the options, and everything sounded so good. The wine menu looked very good and the desserts 👌🏽 ...my goodness!
I got myself the sea bass. Probably one the worst decisions I could make... because now The Standard...is the standard! It was absolutely delicious. Followed up so well after the calamari and lobster dip for appetizers. I recommend both of those. The sea bass was cooked perfectly and presented with such care. The filet my friends ordered was cooked just as well and they loved it.
Now, let me tell you about these desserts. That chocolate cookie and ice cream has never tasted this good. It did not at all feel like too much after the main course. My stomach had the space.
The appetizers are not overbearing, the entrees are not too large and fill you up just enough. The sides (I had the mac and cheese) are such a tasty surprise. The dessert was the cherry on top!
I will be returning when I head back to Nashville, that is for sure!
As far as price, it may be on the higher end, sure, but this is a treat everyone should experience, if they are able to.

An all around phenomenal experience! Upon online reservation we received a confirmation call from hostess, Chelsea whom we also notified that there was a birthday in our party (a very nice touch you don’t find anymore when dining out). From there, she and the team got us first acquainted at the bar for drinks by the fireplace followed by dinner in a small intimate room.
Nash, our waiter was excellent! His suggestions were spot on, leaving us satisfied and assured in our orders. The calamari was crispy, airy, and tender. The crab bisque was loaded with meat and an overall well balanced broth.
The pork chop cut like butter. That simple. Sides were hearty and plentiful. Overall you definitely get a good amount for what you pay for here. If I having to choose one dessert, go with the warm cookie a la mode. It’s made to order and with a healthy scoop of ice cream.
The Standard definitely says it all in it’s name when it comes to quality, care, and hospitality. If you’re looking for a unique and memorable experience I can’t recommend this place enough.

My wife took me here for my birthday. It was really a phenomenal experience.
The service is truly professional - our waiter gave excellent recommendations and he made us feel like the night was ours - to take our time, enjoy the food, and even provided some history.
The food was amazing. Everything we had was delicious and worth every penny.
The atmosphere was elegant - it felt very classy with many original pieces yet subtle improvements that make it feel ageless. It was quiet and peaceful but not too quiet to feel uncountable having a conversation.
Highly highly recommend and will be going back the next chance I get!
