The Standard Grill

Had a delicious brunch here on a Sunday morning.
Great food and service.

I met some friends on Saturday night around 9PM for a few drinks and had an amazing time!!! I was worried we would have to stand around but our server IgHor (with an H!) helped with setting up a table by the bar and even went out of his way to grab another chair. He was super polite, pleasant and informative. The manager (Gregory) even came by to introduce himself and say hello. I’ve had restaurant mangers come by our table before but Gregory actually gave a genuine introduction… and even comped our dessert! Overall I was pleasantly surprised by what a great time me and my party of 4 people had. Looking forward to my next time there! — - Oh and PS– the grilled octopus and bone marrow was super delish!

I made a reservation. The host said it took 90 minutes to wait. After waiting for two hours at the bar, the host forgot to message me. I approached the host to ask him regarding my reservation. The host said he could give me a table right away.
But I walked away. So we know all items on menu are definitely 5 stars level.
By the way, this was the third time my reservations falling through the crack.

Decent place, good ambiance… Would be a better pick on weekdays. Service is not bad, good drinks good food. Music can set the mood for a nice relaxed evening.

That was one of the best dinners I have had in ages. From beginning to end. The staff were very attentive and the food was A M AZING!!!

**Disclaimer :The 5 stars is for the bingo night. Didn’t have dinner but did experience their bingo night **
Now with that out the way, to most the idea of a bingo night might sound uneventful, some might even categorize it as antique. Let me just say you have it all wrong. The Standard Grill took the idea of bingo and reinvented it. I suggest getting there on time or even early, we went a day after Blizzard Jonas and it got packed really quick. To start you need reservations, and you have to order the High Line Fling, a extra large alcoholic bowl. Definitely enough to share amongst friends. There was only two of us and we’re able to finish it, though we paid the price the next morning lol. We ate dinner earlier in the night but opted to order some appetizers, the truffle mac and cheese and the potato pom poms. Definitely great choices both were tasty and well prepared.
With a live dj and a charismatic host dishing out punch lines, I’d say might be hard to find a better way to spend a sunday night. They give you two bingo sheets and the night begins. In btwn calling out bingo numbers they have music /​dance breaks, trivia and «balls» karoke. Win some free shots by answering the random trivia and win your whole table free shots by winning the creative and funny «balls» karaōke. Overall this was a great way to spend a sunday night and suggested it to anyone looking for something fun and unusual to do in the city. Definitely plan on coming back.
P. S. They have a photo booth down stairs. What else can you possibly need!!!

I came to the Standard Grill the night of the snowstorm Jonas. Every restaurant in the neighborhood was closed except the Standard Grill. The restaurant was understaffed because employees couldn’t get to work, but the employees that were there handled the stressful situation amazingly. Hannah K, my waitress, could not have been nicer and more professional. One of the best waitresses I have seen in the city.
A stressful night that should have been a disaster of a meal ended up being perfect thanks to Hannah and the staff

The place is really nice but unfortunately the food is subpar and the service is all over the place. They need a better kitchen and more organized service .
It’s a good place overall just to have a quick bite if in the area.

I have been to this place at least ten time over the past few years. The food is not bad, and they have a great burger. They are always promoting them selves and currently, not only do they have the grill itself, but their annual ice rink.
The food is a solid four stars with a one star deduction for their aloof, don’t give a crap about you, corporate hostess and management attitude.

What a let down. Though the atmosphere was beautifully decorated for the season, and the service was fantastic, the food was mediocre and the drinks were watered down. Like majorly. 2.5 hours of drinking and we were both sober.
We started with a lot of raw bar– oysters, clams, lobster and shrimp. It was O.K.- Nothing to write home about… there was no horseradish with the oysters or butter with the lobster– only cocktail sauce all around. The shrimp could have been frozen and were scattered on a plate. Humph.
The porterhouse for two for $ 70 was seriously surrounded by the thickest layer of fat I ever have seen and was throughout the meat as well. I know it is a fatty piece of meat, but I felt badly for my date, as after all the fat was cut away, there was barely enough meat for 1. For two, the serving size was not large enough considering all the fat you had to cut away especially for the price.
We then finished off with this double mouse dessert that was huge gorgeous and delicious, but I would have rather a great meal than a great dessert.
It is what it is. We should have gone to Catch or Tao…

The Standard Grill es un muy buen restaurant al pie del ya reconocido Standard Hotel. Mi experiencia fue del lugar como un restaurant, específicamente para cenar:
Siendo 4 personas, pedimos 3 platos distintos para compartir, además de otras 2 o 3 entradas. Para destacar, pedimos el Dry Aged Beef y el NY Strip Steak. Ambos fueron de los mejores bifes que comí, excelentes en sabor, cocción, textura (man-​te-​ca) y bastante grandes. Esos dos platos fueron definitivamente lo más destacable de toda la experiencia.
Si bien el ambiente es muy bueno, bien decorado y concurrido (el interior estaba repleto de gente asistiendo más en onda de bar, de pie, más hacia la noche), y la atención también fue buena, creo que le faltó algo a todo el paquete para llegar a 5 estrellas.
Todo muy rico y muy bueno, pero le faltó un último toque, algo, para hacer que valga lo que cuesta, teniendo en cuenta que los precios (si bien todo en NY es caro) eran bastante altos incluso a comparación de otros lugares del Meatpacking (el total de la cena fue de unos $ 100 por persona, sin contar la propina).
Recomendable, con la advertencia de lo caro.

Great bar /​restaurant under the Standard Hotel in Chelsea.
Been here a few times for both drinks and food.
Drink wise, there is a small selection of bottled beers, some great wine and even better cocktails. I’m rather partial to a Bullit Old Fashioned or two — this place does one of the best I have ever had anywhere!
Food wise, the Standard burger is devine. One of the best burgers I’ve had. Also, on a Sunday they do a Buttermilk Chicken special. Really tasty and nice.
Definitely recommend popping in here either for drinks or food as well.
Finally, as I am often in town for work, I have been here on my own a few times and just sat at the bar. The bar staff are friendly, and it is a very social environment.

Dined in the café for breakfast. Very cute interior both inside and outside.
Had the smoked salmon on an everything bagel and it was seriously the best I’ve ever had! The bagel was perfectly crispy and was smothered with herb cream cheese, topped with capers, pickled onions and of course, a generous portion of smoked salmon!
They also have fresh juices!

Oh boy! Why didn’t I listen to Unilocalers, a friend of mine suggested this place and I decided to give it a try… we went there for a Sunday brunch and since we didn’t have a reservation, we were offered an outside table, so we took it since it was a nice day. The waiter, who didn’t seem to be happy to serve us, took our order for coffee and juice, we ordered regular coffee and two juice, the coffee came in a pot, it was cold and tasted horrible, they forgot to bring one our juices. Then we ordered food, the frittata and the scrambled eggs plus a cappuccino… and waited!!! It took them about 20 minutes to bring our cappuccino and another 30 minute to bring our food… ughhh and they said it was because they were busy… really?
The food came cold and it was just OK at it’s best. Nothing special… you can get a much higher quality food at the same price.
The worst thing after all was getting our bill and seeing that they actually charged us for the juice that they never brought.
The only thing I liked about this place was the outside sitting in the meat packing area, the area that I like. I don’t suggest this place at all.

Iconic Meatpacking! Love the Standard Grill… This outdoor space is the best in this area. People watching spot for sure!
Stop in for their seasonal cocktails! Always Special and you won’t quit at just one!
Known for the Standard Burger… Not standard at all… Absolutely delicious! Amazing flavors in the trio of meats used that bring you back to this spot. Almost every table there are burgers spotted…
Great place! Great service! Clearly NYC vibes!

i’m just avoiding these kind of places. It’s a «have you seen me I m so pretty» place.
and I’m more a «I don’t really care how you look» place. We had 2 sides and even though we ate almost everything, it was a little bit too oily. The cocktails were good. The waiter was very nice! NOT COMING BACK bc it’s not my kind of world. very fake.

Came here for brunch– the punch bowl was delicious and slowly creeped up on us! Def a well-​made drink.
The food however was mediocre. The frittata was more like a fluffy omelet and on the bland side. The eggs Benedict was good– except we found hair in it– and unfortunately too late. Came out of the last egg :/​
The Nutella and strawberry waffles lacked Nutella and instead had a teeny amount of chocolate sauce instead (not cool). The waffles were burnt on the side.
The cheesy grits were great though!

They may be mean at the top of the standard, but it’s all smiles below! The host desk always has too many people and confused faces BUT the wait staff makes up for their lack of interest almost immediately.
Do yourself a favor and order the 2 person meal if you have someone with you, it will probably be AMAZING.
Also I do NOT recommend the burger it was just ~so, so~ the wine and drinks and cheese/​meat plates are fantastic and the atmosphere in the garden setup is very pleasant!

Ein sehr stylisches Restaurant im Meatpacking. Das Essen war sehr gut, insbesondere das Steak kann sich mit den guten Steakrestaurants absolut messen. Der Service war freundlich und schnell und wir hatten insgesamt einen sehr schönen Abend. Die Preise sind auf hohem New Yorker Niveau, wir lagen bei etwa 80 $ pro Person.

Had a pretty good experience here! We came on a Friday evening and surprisingly didn’t have to wait to be seated. The place is HUGE with two sections of outdoor seating and multiple rooms inside. We sat outside. The atmosphere and décor is beautiful, trendy, and very NYC-​esque.
The food and drinks were excellent. We started with a platter of cured meats and cheeses (we chose 3 meats and 3 cheeses) which were all great. I particularly liked the «la tur» cheese. I also got the «Sunday Girl» with tequila. The cocktail was nothing crazy, but nevertheless fruity and refreshing for a warm summer night.
For dinner, I had the pork chops — juiciest chop I’ve ever tasted. My aunt and cousin got the lamb chops and the rigatoni. Those dishes were fantastic as well. However, even so, prices are unreasonably high.
This spot easily would have received 4 stars from me if it wasn’t for our waiter. He was snobby, awkward, and uncomfortable. Furthermore, he was not knowledgeable about ANYTHING on the menu. Or maybe he was, but was just too impatient and arrogant to help me. I’m allergic to seafood and most of the menu is seafood so I asked him if he had any recommendations. He was very short with me, spoke too quickly, and was not friendly or helpful AT ALL. I believe his name is Todd. Furthermore, he was not attentive whatsoever. He made me feel like he was just too busy to deal with us. Honestly, flagging down a taxi in Manhattan was easier than getting his attention.
Even though our waiter wasn’t the best, the bus boys were all great. Friendly, attentive, professional, etc.
I’m a huge fan of the food, outdoor seating, and atmosphere in general.
I’m not a fan of the high prices though.
I do want to come back, with a different waiter.

The best place for the summer dinner/​drink.
They are crowded, always no matter what time period. So if you get less attention from the servers, don’t get upset.
Very limited menu items until dinner time. And I think they have a dinner special every day (fried chicken for Sunday).
The food is good, especially with the drinks. Me and my mom got the huge HL fling, we were only half way through and already drunk. But it’s a fantastic one to share!
The only thing that I don’t like there are the hosts. I made a reservation and came early. They sit me inside saying that I had to wait till 5:30 to be outside (when there’re plenty of ppl outside already). The hosts said all different thing about the seating and I had to wait line for line to finally be outside (they are very irresponsible of what they say and not helpful at all!)
It’s also a little pricy but it’s the popular meat packing district so I can’t complain.
Other then that, enjoy the drinks this summer!

We grabbed Sunday brunch at this sprawling bistro under the High Line. Waiting times for outside tables were at least 45 minutes, so we decided to sit inside.
A lovely, classy interior — we really liked the flooring made of thousands and thousands of pennies (you’re literally walking on money).
Thankfully the pricing isn’t that unreasonable, with the portions of food being served to other tables looking fairly substantial. I ordered Eggs Benedict with rosemary potatoes and a side of spinach. All of it was absolutely delicious.
My eating companions agreed that mine was by far the best of all the dishes chosen. A word of advice, don’t order the grits (ground-​corn), to us it tasted dreadful.
Friendly, attentive service, it was nice to see all the staff smartly turned out with crisp clean white aprons. A terrific spot for a meal, would definitely recommend it.

Ambiente mto cool! Lugar pra ser visto e mta gente bonita! Aos sábados é servido apenas brunch! A salada estava deliciosa e o burger tb peefeitoooo!!! De sobremesa peça o cookies with milk! Eh perfeito!!! Lugar para ir com os amigos ou família! Depois vá para o High Line para dar uma digestão! Ótimo programa para um sábado!

Une excellente adresse ! Nous avons dîné en soirée sur la terrasse, aux chandelles, par une nuit claire un dimanche soir. C’était magique !
Le service est au top, nous n’avons pas eu à attendre longtemps nos plats.
On vous offre des radis, du parmesan, du pain et du beurre salé dès que vous arrivez.
Nous avons commandé des poissons grillés, les plats étaient délicieux.
Bref, un excellent moment !

Situé au pied de la High Line ce restaurant fait parti de l’ensemble Standard Hotel, Top of the Standard et Standard Grill. La terrasse est très appréciable, bien que sur rue, elle reste clame à l’image du quartier. La carte est varié et plutôt raffinée avec des prix acceptables (60 € par tête avec un peu de vin). Le point noir se situe au niveau de l’attente qui peut s’expliquer par la taille gigantesque de la salle intérieure. nous avons du attendre presque 45 minutes nos plats: ce qui bien calés en terrasse avec l’apéro n’est pas bien gênant.
Au niveau culinaire, rien de miraculeux, la présentation est soignée, la cuisson est nickel mais il pourrait manquer un zeste de folie ou d’imprévu gustatif.
Au final c’est «standard» pour un restaurant un peu amélioré.
