    Outstanding restaurant! This is a hidden gem in the city of Cleveland. My party of seven went here Easter Sunday. We enjoyed the atmosphere, music, food, and service! We ordered the short ribs of beef, ribeye steak, stuffed salmon, steak on a skewer, and lamb. My lamb was cooked and brought to the table in their Moroccan cookware (a tangia) then at the table carefully poured onto my plate. I do recommend this restaurant and we will be back.

    Disappointing Experience at The Standard I was really looking forward to dining at The Standard, but the service and overall experience were extremely disappointing. From the beginning, our waitress never introduced herself. We were asked for our order without being told about any house specials — we had to ask for them ourselves. It felt rushed and inattentive. I later had to look at my receipt just to find out her name was Alivia. Things quickly went downhill. Alivia spilled my New York whiskey sour on the table and didn’t offer to clean it up. I had to ask for napkins and clean the mess myself. The worst part of the evening was discovering rubber bands in my short rib meal. When I brought it to the attention of a our waitress, I was assured I wouldn’t be charged for the dish. However, when I received the check, the short rib was still on it. Alivia then told me I wasn’t being charged for the replacement meal — but there was no replacement, just the same food replated. To top it off, when she packed our food to-go, she never brought it back to the table. I had to go find her just to get my food so I could leave. This experience showed a complete lack of care and professionalism. For a place with such a solid reputation, I expected much better.

    Amazing food! Crab stuffed salmon was wonderful. Great service and while restaurant was completely full, noise level still allowed for conversation. We’ll be back!

    Everything about the Standard is just that. It sets the Standard for what all restaurants should be. The owner always greets you at some point of your dinner, the people that run the place know us by name. This is how great of a place all restaurants should be.
