The Standard

We enjoyed a wonderful evening of ambiance & delicious cuisine. The white wine (the one from New Zealand) was so good, and Mrs. Smith, as well as the bartender & wait staff were top notch. Definitely go & enjoy a meal in this beautiful house!

Wonderful meal at the standard last night! Had the "standard filet" which included the truffle hash cake. Incredible. Our server was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable on the building and the menu. The place is classic,old, historic in atmosphere. Feels like you are traveling in time. Can't recommend enough.

Never Again. For years we’ve raved to friends about dining at The Standard Nashville and have always tipped more than generously, but after last night, never again. We’d made a reservation for six well in advance, booked a limo for the evening, and even received a confirmation call from the owner of The Standard. One couple had traveled from Canada, looking forward to dining there with us once again. Then, three hours prior to our reservation time, the owner called to say their water heater had broken, parts couldn’t be obtained until after the weekend, and they were sorry but they were having to close the restaurant for the first time in their history. Seemed odd, but…
Fortunately, we know the owner of Mere Bulles and with a call, he squeezed us in and saved our evening where we enjoyed their top-notch atmosphere, food, and service. Suspicions arose, however, and we decided to drive by The Standard where, lo and behold, a full house of guests could be seen through the windows merrily dining within. We could only surmise that they wanted to accommodate someone more important than us for the evening. We’ve since been told that “the ol’ water heater story” is occasionally used by restaurants, but such a sleazy business practice is one that will not be rewarded with our continued patronage.

This wonderful piece of history in the middle of Nashville was an once in a lifetime experience. They have incredible steaks and a calamari dish that is the best period . Service was absolutely great and flawless. Well done.

My wife and I dined on 1/27/2023. Brandon was amazing. He made the experience even more enjoyable. The food was outstanding Thank you thank you, thank you

If you’re looking for a classy, unpretentious and classic evening for a meal, stop right here. Some of the best service I’ve ever had, exquisite food and the place is just so damn cool. Skip the Honkey Tonk, grab a martini and enjoy the ambiance.

I have traveled all over the world and since last week. I must have told 30 people that this is the best meal I have ever had. Not only great food but the history of the place and Mrs Smith is an incredible experience. Worth every penny, don't go anywhere else if looking for a great meal

A wonderful place, with great food, Terrific staff, amazing history, and an enchanting atmosphere! We can't wait to go again.

Defintely a place to check out! I was told it's the oldest private residence still standing in Nashville... it certainly does have beautiful architecture and quite a history. They couldn't accommodate us in their small dining room without reservations (I believe they only 8 or so tables) but we had a few delicious cocktails in the very cool bar. Defintely plan ahead if you want to have dinner.

The atmosphere is amazing, such a beautiful old home with so much history the staff makes you feel welcome and like they want you there. Cocktails are amazing and the food was good. The waiter was nice and was also from Southern IL like my husband and I which we found funny, but the best part had to be Anthony the waiter helping our main waiter he was super friendly, funny, knew a lot about the place and food and just made it a really good time. Thank you Anthony and everyone else at the standard to help make my husband's and my 9 year anniversary amazing and fun!
