Editorial Review for The Standard – by Jennifer Justus
In Short
This three-story brick legend has hosted Nashville's elite as a boarding house, society club and set for music videos. But, ladies who lunch and businessmen now enter its grand arched doorway to dine under chandeliers and among refurbished mantles and Victorian furniture. The Standard's refined Southern-themed menu offers crab bisque flavored with Tennessee whiskey, Hot Brown sandwiches with sauce moray and chicken Madeira--all served over white tablecloths dotted with daisy bouquets.

I had the fish sandwich and sweet potato fries for lunch yesterday. Absolutely wonderful, I am going back with clients soon! Waiter was great, good service, but they ran out of diet coke.
Pros: delicious food
Cons: none that I could see

I had dinner recently at the Standard, and it was truly disappointing. While the atmosphere is great--the house is beautiful--the food was average and the menu was boring. The food was not bad, but for close to $30 per entree, I expected much higher caliber. My pork chop was dry, the crab cake was mostly breading, and most entrees had the same two side dishes offered. Again, all would be fine if you were eating at a chain restaurant, but not a place that clearly claims to be something more. While we were there, the new chef came out to a table of regulars and explained that he planned to totally overhaul the menu, which is good to hear, but I am concerned by his inability to prepare the current menu offerings well (particularly considering the current menu consisted of very basic dishes). I am curious to see what the new menu has to offer, but would hesitate to go back, and definitely would not go back at the dinner prices.
Pros: Ambience
Cons: Poor quality for the cost
