The Standard

"WOW! I absolutely loved this place! Best French onion soup I have ever had. The short rib was was delicious and generous portion. I was so full (and had some to take home). I wasn't going to get dessert until my dinner companion recommended chocolate pot de creme! This was a perfect ending. It was so good I ate the whole thing! Rich but not overly sweet. Our server Martin was awesome. He is friendly, helpful and patient. I met the chef Said. The food was soo good! He is a friendly charismatic, and definitely knows his craft. I can't recommend this place enough!"

"As a frequent customer at this restaurant I was a bit disappointed how the seating arrangements has changed. It seemed a bit more crowded and lacked an intimate dining experience. The tables were extremely to close for my liking. I then opted to move, which placed me on the patio. It was extremely cold. However they was taken care of with turning on the propane heaters. My table and dish waa dirty from the plants falling onto them. It was hair on my tablecloth. I informed the waitress and she change my cloth. The food was excellent as always. Said never disappoints. The food was fresh, good temperature and excellent flavoring. Always enough to take home for another day."

"This place is perfect for a great night out. Our server Martin was exceptional. I recommend to anyone in the Cleveland area looking for great food and a great atmosphere to fit the season."

"Everything was good. The food is excellent, tasty , exquisite like for a good French resto in Paris . But cheaper ;) We spent $85 for food for the family of 2 adults and 2 teens . We ordered 2 main course dishes, one big appetizer to share and 2 came for free ( warm fresh rolls with antipasti of oils and olives ). We had beer ($5...,what?) And 2-3 hot pots of tea. The restaurants only charged us $2 for all the cups of tea we kept asking for. It was a generous present for us after the long day. Thank you all, the team of The Standard! You really keep your standards high ;)"

"The Standard is amazing!! We were so pleased with the whole experience! Staff was wonderful and time for everything was good and appropriate! What was ordered: Drinks: Chardonnay, The Standard special cocktail- both good! Starters: French onion soup, asparagus soup, beet salad - all 10/10!!! Meals: Stuffed salmon special, stuffed with crabmeat and topped with jumbo shrimp, vegetables and potatoes and a sauce, lamb lollipops and I personally ordered the braised short ribs all 10/10 and wonderful but my short ribs were phenomenal!! Dessert: Breas pudding and the lemon cheesecake. Both made in house, both great. I’d personally prefer a sauce over the bread putting but it was great with the ice cream and whipped cream! The lemon cheesecake was so fresh and lemon curd on top was amazing! Very pleased. Will definitely be back. Price for the portions were great. The atmosphere was beautiful, romantic and clean. We parked on the street, I did not see a clear parking lot but also didn’t care. Posted on the door was a dress code, no hats was all I saw when I passed. I didn’t see anyone in jeans so not sure if that was on the list. Can call and inquiry more to be sure. Try it, you won’t be disappointed!"
