The Standard Restaurant and Lounge

Bread was great. We were seated right away. Wait staff came over promptly. Portion was huge. Chicken tasted reheated. It was a good dish but I did not feel it was worth the money. I also was presented with a bill which was not itemized. I knew it was too high. $35.00 for one lunch dish and a soda. The waitress had left on a gin and tonic which I didn't have because the bar had no tonic. When u first asked about getting an itemized bill it became a bit of strange energy until a woman overheard, came over and took over. She quickly found the problem. No offer was made to correct the mistake. I will not hurry back. I don't feel the meals are made fresh, I didn't like the bill being presented without a break down. Having said all that, you won't be hurt to dine there.

On a trip and thought this looked like a good place to try. It was getting late and this place was open until 10. Service was mediocre as they informed us and the next 4 tables they sat around us that the kitchen closes at 9:30. Watched server carry one of our meals to another table then over half the restaurant until it found its way to us. The food really was not good. Only food of the whole trip we barely ate and didn’t ask for a to go box for later. Server took forever to get refills of water and condiments. Was a bad experience all around. Save yourself the money. Eat fast food and if you want to waste what’s left go have a good time at Dave and Busters. That would have been a better experience.

My friends and I enjoy dining at The Standard in Albany, and our most recent outing was every bit as good as past experiences. As always, the food was prepared tastefully and served promptly. We have always had good service at The Standard and our server Molly was one of, if not the best server we’ve had to date. She was there when we needed her without being overly there, and she thoroughly charmed us with her outgoing and sweet personality. Over the many years my friends and I have dined at The Standard, we have never been let down by the quality and value of our meals and/or the service that is always on point.
