“ If you want a martini of any style this is the place! Listen I know it's in the mall, but pay no mind to that fact! It's amazing, great food items including the crab blt that's consistently perfect. But my shining star is any drink I order at this spot. They have an extensive martini menu which I beg you order at least one from! This visit I enjoyed the sour apple and perfectly peach martinis. Strong, but well balanced cocktails. We will continue to pick this restaurant and bar as a local favorite. ”
“ I was at Apple Store with intentions of heading to a well known factory restaurant. But was really hungry. Asked the Apple Store rep for a recommendation. They suggested The Standard I enjoyed the lemon chicken and pasta in cream sauce. ”
“ Hip vibe with retro tunes and decor that would make me a regular at the bar if I lived closer. Very good food for a mall stop. Pecan cranberry chicken salad was large, fresh and chicken breast was very tender. Attentive waitress. Better than I expected. I will try it again. ”
