Have walked past this place easily 50x. The inside is a pleasant surprise and the menu is expansive enough. The food was good but not great and a couple items were prepared a little different than requested (rare instead of medium well, sauce not on the side)
Would eat here again but probably not first choice.
The crab burger was packed with crab meat. I crushed it in seconds! The Gritcake and Spinach is a dish to get for sure if you haven't had grits in the city. Fried crisp and so creamy inside. Mm...
Stopped in for brunch on a whim because it looked nice and there wasn’t anyone in there. Then from the moment my friend and I sat down, our expectations were surpassed. A woman who seemed to be the owner brought us our waters and explained the specials then the waitress came and got our drink orders. Soon after we sat down, the place filled up, so luck was just on our side. Get the mimosa—I don’t like them but was enticed by the “special ingredient.” It was incredible, whatever it was (I think maybe orange liqueur). Then I got an a la carte breakfast which was a little pricey but I knew what I was getting into and everything was better than it looked (which is saying something). My friend got the classic eggs benedicts and loved it. My one constructive criticism is a stronger, fresher coffee would’ve been lovely. It was fine, but the superlative quality of everything else made the okayness of the coffee salient.
Great cocktails here, the bloody Mary is something to behold. One of the many places on Magazine St. Didn't get a chance to dine here, but spyed a few dishes and they looked impressive. Average cocktail price $10-12 USD.
Brunch and drinks amazing and on point. I'm only sad they didn't have the pineapple or watermelon drinks when I went. I was still spoiled with the best pina colada I've ever had. Get these drinks to go and you will seriously make a 100 people jealous as you walk down magazine.
Fantastic! Wonderful service and delicious food. We went for dinner and had a lovely little impromptu date night. The Standard is perfect for date night! It has a gorgeous, simple, rustic feel with great atmosphere. The food was amazing! I had the burger, and it had the perfect amount of spice and such a great flavor. It's up there on my list of favorites in the city. My husband got the pork chop which was huge and equally tasty. We split the brie appetizer with homemade fig jam and we absolutely loved it. It was a great way to start our meal! On top of the excellent food and perfect atmosphere, the service was top notch. Mr. Pierce just made our experience that much better. We can not wait to go back for more date nights and brunch!
Stopped in for happy hour. The waitress/bartender seemed nice enough and seated us at the window. We ordered a couple of tacos and two drinks. The margarita was made with Limeaid, which we didn't realize at first. It was shudder-inducing. Worse though was the shrimp taco. We love seafood but the incredible fishy smell and taste was revolting, as if the shrimp had gone bad and they decided to serve it anyway. We eat tried a bite and nearly vomited. We mentioned to the server and she shrugged and charged us full price.
Edit: We appreciate this response from management, which is far more than we received when we visited. We'll try to make it back and see you all again.
I just love this restaurant! The Standard is the such a comfortable place to meet friends, our neighborhood happy place. With such a welcoming atmosphere and personable staff you immediately feel like you belong. It's rare that I get excited about burgers but theirs is just fantastic and a friend whose taste i trust just adores the goat cheese enchiladas. I have enjoyed the seasonal salad many times and it is always a refreshing and well balanced dish, perfect antidote to previously eaten heavy foods.
Me and 4 friends had Sunday brunch yesterday, and the food and service were excellent. The Crab Cake Eggs Benedict was delicious. Dylan was our waiter that provided great service. We are looking forward to trying some other dishes.
We had been meaning to try this place for a while. We were not disappointed. I had their salmon risotto special, and my mate had the fried chicken. We both also had drinks that were original and we'll made. Everything from the food, beverages, service, and locale were top notch at an affordable price. Do yourself a favor and check it out!
