What a great first experience. Very attentive waitress who was well versed on the menu. The French Onion was very delicious and rich. The veal Parmesan was tender and flavorful. The drinks were strong & made perfectly. We got the cream brulee which had just a whisper of grapefruit in the custard which made it unique. We will be back.

A Toledo Treasure! The Standard has quickly become our go-to spot for any and all family celebrations! The food is absolutely delicious, with vibrant flavors and beautifully crafted dishes. The ambience strikes the perfect balance of upscale yet casual, making it ideal for any occasion. Most importantly, the staff make every visit special with their genuine hospitality. Their passion truly elevates the experience. The Standard is a fantastic addition to the Toledo restaurant scene, and I can't recommend it enough!

The Standard sets the standard for 5-star dining in Toledo. Situated in a non-descript strip mall, we entered an intimate dining space that felt cozy and sexy and recalled some of my favorite spots in Salt Lake City. Our server, Kim, set the tone for the evening with her kind and knowledgeable approach. We ordered cocktails from a creative drink list; I got the Smokey Olive which was less smokey but still delicious. My husband got the Rosemary's Blush, which was tasty and complex with a charred sprig of rosemary. We started our meal with the mussels and the crab cake. The crabcake was huge and succulent and would be a perfect shareable with 2 or 4 people. The mussels were plump and tender and the broth was flavorful and delicious. Our entrees were the highlight of the meal. My husband had the 16oz ribeye cooked medium rare with peppercorn crust and the mushrooms and onions. I had the lamb chops, medium rare, and they absolutely melted in my mouth. The kitchen is partially open and the bar is beautiful, so you can enjoy the theatrics of a well-operating kitchen and bar, which is always a thrill for me. Kim was an excellent server and made great recommendations on wine and menu items. We felt very cared for and will most definitely be back soon. As a SLC native, it's been hard to find good dining here that remind me of the excellent food back home. But The Standard blew me away. Can't wait to try everything else on the menu. Cheers!

The Standard is a true Toledo Gem! My husband and I went for our wedding anniversary and had an amazing dinner. From the service, to the ambiance, food, and drinks A+++++. The cook even came out and gave us a champagne toast for our anniversary! I had the Shrimp Adobo, delicious….my husband had the pierogi fall special, and we shared the feta appetizer, all incredible. The drinks did not disappoint either. I had the Smokey Brine and Sangria while my husband had the Ancho Problem, all unique and good. A must try if you want something unique in Toledo.

Great dinner with the wife and friends. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The smoked olive martini was 🔥. We ordered pretty much every appetizer and each one was unique and savory. I ordered the 20oz Ribeye blackened / medium rare on the bone. It was cooked perfectly and was extremely tender and juicy. The butter, roasted garlic, and truffle sauce made it even better. For dessert I ordered the sticky pudding with ice cream. Everyone else who tried at the table was surprised a pudding would taste so good. Would love to eat here again.

What a gem of a place we have here in Toledo! I went this Monday for a dinner meeting and had the most amazing Veal Parmesan. The food and service was so great that I went back on Thursday bringing my son who was home from college. The service was incredible. The wait for the food was not long and oh did I tell you the best fried pickles I have ever had as an app. Didn’t finish my meal because I wanted to save room for dessert and that was the right call! Salted Caramel pudding cake with vanilla ice cream is worth every calorie. I am so incredibly grateful that I finally found a restaurant in Toledo that I can say is absolutely perfect!

I was visiting Toledo for the weekend, and I went to the Standard on a Friday night with friends and was completely blown away. The atmosphere was so welcoming. And customer service is top-notch. The staff knew all the menu items and were well versed in making suggestions. Everything is made from scratch and chef's kiss to everything we tried. We had Megan's Chicken, which came with mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts, spaghetti, which was served with 3 large meatballs and lambchops that were served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. We also got to try the crabcake. My friends mom also had the onion soup, which was amazing. We all tried each other's food. The chicken was moist and delicious, the potatoes were creamy and a joy to the tongue. The lambchops were perfection, and the crabcake was more crab than cake! All the flavors were complimentary, and no additional sauces or seasonings were necessary. I was in heaven. We all had cocktails, and they were delicious as well. Espresso martini, layover, and something with egg whites (it was delicious too) Bethany, our server, was so knowledgeable and sweet, she met all of our needs efficiently, going above and beyond, and our table was never out of anything. Jeff also came by and made some meal suggestions, made sure we had what we needed, and was very friendly. The food was plated so beautifully, and everything was perfect. I absolutely recommend all the dishes and this place for an amazing dinner and night out.
