Our dining experience at The Standard was TOP NOTCH ! Five stars, ALL the way! Host & Owner incredibly friendly, the decor warm, inviting, & feels exquisitely lush in the dining areas inside – though only walked through this gorgeous part of the restaurant. I got the double stuffed salmon with crab, lobster stuffing & scampi over the top, roasted potatoes & green beans – drenched with beschuemel sauce. It was dizzying-ly delicious! Lightly seared salmon, done to perfection: flaky, tender & moist! We sat out in the outdoor patio, to dine – also a beautiful space! Can not recommend this amazing little spot on E 185th, enough! Worth every penny –> SO GOOD!

This was our second time dining at The Standard and it was just as amazing as the first! The food, drinks, and atmosphere are all fantastic. I had the eggplant rollatini and a lemon drop martini — both were delicious! We finished with the cheesecake, which honestly is the best cheesecake I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for great food and a fun, welcoming vibe.

Wow!! Just wow!!!
Our friends who are regulars here invited us to try this place.
We had the octopus appetizer and it was a perfect 10+
Cannot even explain how tender and amazing it is!
We were told they have the best steak you will ever eat.
Yes it is the best steak ever!! Portion is crazy huge and every bite tender and delicious.
I had the Said boullebais and it is amazing. The broth is piping hot. The lobster, scallops, shrimp, clams and muscles were perfectly cooked. Huge!! Enough to share.
Cocktails were spot on.
My friend had asparagus soup and had me try it . Yes it was beyond terrific.
Now I have to go back to have it. The chef visited our table and he was so welcoming.
Our server Rose was perfect and so knowledgeable.
I highly recommend this place
There are at least another dozen items on the vast menu we must try.

Update-we returned for a bday celebration with a party of 14. Danielle took our reservation and everything was absolutely perfect. We were seated immediately. Waited on impeccably. Chef even sent a round of champagne. 1st timers said the food is the best around. Love this place and the staff

First time and went out for my mother-in law’s birthday. Highly recommend this place. Food was amazing and things I normally do not eat but was great trying new things. We had the salmon stuffed with crab special and the lamb with mushroom risotto. Both were amazing. Nicole our server was great and made sure we had an amazing evening. Sat on the patio with live music from a guitarist and harmonica player. For drinks, we recommend the Cherry Bourbon Smash and the Moroccan Mint Tea.

We love this place for the atmosphere, service and food experience. There were mostly high-notes with the food, except for the special appetizer of châteaubriand tartar and the squid ink paella: The tartar’s flavor profile was bland and the presentation was not commensurate with The Standard’s standards; from our experiences with ordering tartar, this one was definitely off. The squid ink paella, on the other hand, had a great presentation and flavor profile; however, as tasted, the shrimp were undercooked (still also appeared grayish), and the risotto’s texture suggested it was overcooked.
These elements were not deal-breakers by any means. The other three entrees ordered were spot-on deelish, as were the desserts. We’ll be back without question.

The Standard. Yes It’s on E 185. This is not the E 185 of 40 years ago. Its all shiny and new up and down the strip. This used to be a bar I frequented often and oh my how times have changed for the better. This establishment offers an eclectic menu with subtle middle eastern influence. You can have as much or little of that influence as you wish. For appetizers We had the Ceviche and Asparagus soup. Ceviche had perfect acid, knife work, and taste which made it easy to love..
The two things you can ask for in asparagus soup is velvety smooth and taste. Both were accomplished. The second course was eggplant rotellini expertly crafted and octopus with capers and red onion. Ocopus can be tricky but not here, again expertly crafted, The entrees were branzino and lamb shank risotto. The fish was deboned at the table making it a true culinary experience. I did not anticipate a whole lamb shank with my risotto but what a presentation. I expected great food.I expected great service. I expected a great culinary experience that our server, Isabella, the kitchen, and every member of that staff provided. You do not need downtown, or Vegas to have a culinary experience to remember. In the long run, with this being local, the value is off the charts.

Exceptional. The food is delicious and there are so many different things to try. Everyone’s appetizers were so incredible it seemed hard to top the start of our meal. But our entrees exceed all expectations. I had the fillet, which is something I love, but it’s hard to get it prepared correctly. I asked for mid rare, and the chef got it exactly right. Perfect medium rare. It was so flavorful and the sauce was a perfect addition.
My husband had the Salmon stuffed with crab. Again, fabulous.

Dinner was followed by to die for creme brulee.

We were a large party and our service was exceptional. She was attentive, fun, informative and made the evening extra special. Don’t wait try the Standard. We will definitely be back

I would give 5 stars, but I feel like the prices are a little high. We were there on a quieter night and sat out on the beautiful patio. The service was very good. We had a large party so there were 2 servers helping. The food was delicious and plentiful. The cocktails were perfect and refreshing. All in all it was an enjoyable evening. Due to their menu pricing on everything, not just the specials, it’s not some place I’d be going often. Nobody wanted to increase their bill with an appetizer and that was a shame because there are things that would have been nice to try.
