The Standard at The Smith House may very well be the best example of local Nashville flavor and service. The Standard Restaurant has been in operation since 2006 serving upscale Southern specialties complete with a full-service bar. Our townhouse was built in the 1840's and we are honored to be the current stewards of this fascinating work of architecture. We are located in the heart of Downtown Nashville, just blocks from the new Music City Convention Center and the famous Lower Broadway entertainment district. We are proud to offer some of the best steaks in town as well as fresh seafood and other items.

Our beautiful courtyard bar area is available with a dinner reservation for drinks before or after dinner.

    Fine dining in a historic antebellum mansion, on the edge of greatness. The Lobster Dip is some of the best we've had. Benton's Pasta Carbonara and the Norwegian Salmon are both large portions, the salmon done to order, nut the porcini in the Carbonara was tough and the shrimp was tails on. There is a good wine list and full bar. Service was not quite full service, but was prompt. Seating is more than comfortable, in a quiet room.

    The markup on the wine is just outrageous. With the price of everything else you should offer it at a more reasonable price. I guess as long as you dont charge an exorbitant cork fee that is what I will do on our next visit.

    We had a wonderful dining experience at the Standard. We were seated in the bar area which we love and LANE was an excellent knowledgeable server. The sea bass was outstanding. You cannot ask for a better place to dine in Nashville which also happens to be right around the corner from the new venue The Pinnacle!
