SoHo Standard

My visit was on a Thursday at 5pm. Apps were half price and they were running a special on Old Fashioneds. I opted for the Espresso Martini in lieu of an Old Fashioned and ordered the "Beinget" and the skewers. The skewers whetted my appetite for more skewers. The beignets were the lightest and most crispy I have ever eaten including ones I’ve had in New Orleans. How good they were seriously surprised me! I told the bartender the Espresso Martini tasted like the chocolate milk you wanted as a kid (super chocolaty); although, as he told me, there’s no chocolate in it. Wizardry! Soho Standard has a well maintained subtle, sophisticated look with outdoor seating available, as weather permits.Hope to try more from their menu very soon.

Another home run for Birmingham diners. I hadn't heard of SoHo Standard but were invited to dine with some friends. The atmosphere is cozy / modern / comfy and just the right size for the staff to properly support it's guest. The menu is spot-on too for its size. A solid handful of options for every course that puts a new twist on favorites and makes you say, "why haven't I tried that before?". Like a beignet filled with crab meat, roasted corn and poblanos THEN dusted with powdered sugar! The bar is game changer too. My wife had a craving for something with fresh blackberries and they invented a martini for her for the evening (check out the photos). Our table stayed in the seafood genre choosing scallops, fresh Snapper and crab cakes. We'd all order it again next time. Check out the ever-changing menu and get reservations before they get impossible to book a table as everything starts to open up again. They will be a local hit for sure.

This place is all about quality. I love their specially curated cocktails based on the type of liquor used and their small plates are a work of art. Come here with your friends and spend a wonderful evening ! Recommended dishes Bruschetta, Fried Green Tomatoes … More
