The Standard presents a polarizing dining experience that leaves patrons divided. While some rave about the delicious food, attentive service, and inviting atmosphere, others lament poor execution, including unappetizing meals and lackluster customer service. Guests have enjoyed delightful brunches, showcasing generous Prosecco pours and delectable dishes like chicken and waffles. However, frustrations arise from noisy environments caused by large parties and intrusive bar activity, which detracts from the dining experience. Despite its charm and potential, The Standard struggles to balance its dual identity as a restaurant and bar, leaving some guests reluctant to return.

I love coming here, the cocktails are unrealistic! the brunch menu is to die as well as a fabulous lunch and dinner menu! Sunday roast is also amazing and they can not go wrong with the trio of meat I visit the standard regular and never have a bad experience - highly recommended!

Perfect place for sunday roasts and cocktails! I also love to go for brunch and a coffee, the menu is fab! beautiful place with friendly staff.

Great place for lunch. the personal is wonderful, polite and attentive. chips are perfect and eating was faultless. loughton needs such places. luxe was a dive, but this place was recommended.

This restaurant is fantastic! The food and cocktails were delicious, and the staff were fantastic! I came here for a relaxed lunch and drink with my friend and my dog, and I highly recommend it. I will definitely be returning.

I don't even know where to begin. The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious, especially the lobster mac n cheese and the Sunday roast. However, I have had multiple issues with the booking process. Three times now, my reservation has either been cancelled or moved. Despite dining here before and recommending it to my friends, I was disappointed to arrive for Sunday lunch and find out that my reservation had been double booked. Most recently, my friend made a reservation for us only to be told two days before our booking that we had been moved to another location due to another booking. This experience speaks volumes. If you walk in and find a table available, enjoy your meal. But if you plan on booking in advance, be prepared for possible disappointment.
