The outdoor string lights, stonewall with signage, and double door entrance is inviting and promising. Inside, the dining area is romantically dim, yet still well-lit with chandeliers, globed pendant lights, wall lanterns, and table lamps. Similarly, bar area is furthermore enhanced with purplish pink via ceiling spotlights forecasting energy and fun. For nice-sized parties, there are three long, low, button-tufted back booths around a long table. At the bar, you will find blue upholstered stools with ornate backs. Lastly, the outdoor patio is simply sleek and spacious. We arrived 8 minutes after 9PM to find the kitchen was closed. Thankfully, our server was able to acquire us fries. Debated between Guava Goddess and Lavender Lemonade, tried and loved the latter. Future plans to return, well before 9PM when the kitchen closes, to order from the main menu plus try the Guava Goddess. read more

We went here for a Sweet 16 and the event was beautiful. It was sleek, simple, but elegant. The drinks were flowing, the music was vibing, and the food was delicious. The venue is a little smaller, but it's all about preference. read more

We can't thank Raj and The Standard enough for helping make my husband's 40th birthday celebration such a memorable evening. We truly appreciate the coordination of the reservation and special menu for our group. The food was superb, the environment was amazing, and the patio was absolutely perfect for such a special occasion. Most importantly, their staff provided excellent service throughout the evening and made everyone feel welcomed and well taken care of. We are grateful for the experience and for all of the attention to detail that helped make the night such a success. read more

Ambiance is great. Menu reminds me something similar to Yardhouse but price is higher and food is more on the bland side. I tried 3 drinks: Cloud 9 which was coconut rum with creamer. Guava Goddess was a guava juice spritzer. The Mango Tango was my favorite drink. We got to try the Balsamic Steak Salad, Wonton Cups and Elote. The balsamic steak salad needs a flavor burst like some red onions in it. The wonton cups was lacking a sweet soy glaze and some spice jalapeños. Elote was pretty good with chips on the side. Drinks and Apps are pretty much the same price: $16-$20. Service was a bit on the slow side. I'm usually only here for the nightlife scene and will probably only come back for the drinks or a get together. read more

Service was great we had a large party and they were attentive and quick. I ordered their steak salad with goat cheese. I'm not a fan of blue cheese but I think the goat cheese makes it 100% better. The steak was cooked to perfection then we were able to get a spot in the dance room after. read more

Had so much fun with my bestie! Came on a Thursday night so they had an R&B DJ and piano. So much fun and our server was cool. As the night went on, you could see more people come in dancing, and even a bachelorette party. Food was so good and the basiloma was hit. The lights were fun, we just sat back and had a great time. Can't wait to be back! read more

Overpriced on mediocre food and service. Went for a private event, even though we still had to get up and order food/drinks at the outdoor bar they still automatically charged us 20% on gratuity. Have the chef ever heard of season? The best thing that we ate was fries. Two stars for the drinks because they're actually pretty decent. read more

The Standard (nightclub) does not disappoint. Even with the neighboring club Vyxn closing, and the younger crowd flooding this club, there is now an even more beautiful mix in demographic diversity. The ambience is still high end, but with a nice mix in musical tastes on different event nights to please everyone. The bar is packed after 11pm, so if you want to get a seat, get there earlier. The dance floor is a bit small but lively after 11 as well. There is a good combination of couples, friend groups and singles too. read more

Went on a Friday night and even made reservations, an ambitious move, as it turned out we were the only diners in the restaurant, outside for a lone soul at the bar. Reservations were clearly unnecessary, though it became apparent the venue is far more invested in its nightclub identity, which apparently wakes up much later in the evening. The food itself landed squarely in the "just okay" category, though I'll give credit where it's due: plating and presentation were thoughtful and well executed. We ordered one appetizer, which was enjoyable, and two main dishes. The salmon was nicely presented and tasted good, though it carried a noticeable fishy aroma that was hard to ignore. The hot honey chicken sandwich, on the other hand, came in like a wrecking ball. The chicken was aggressively over-seasoned, steamrolling the palate and leaving nothing to be tasted beyond the Buffalo Cheyenne dry rub. I did spot bread pudding on the menu--my personal favorite, and something I order without hesitation whenever it appears. Unfortunately, our check was dropped mid-meal and dessert was never offered, which is the culinary equivalent of ending a movie halfway through. So no bread pudding and a slightly irritated food lover heading out to satisfy the sweet tooth elsewhere. read more

YOU HAVE TO COME HERE!! What a beautiful restaurant. It is newly renovated and looks BEAUTIFUL! We sat outside and did not want to leave. The owner greeted us with a delicious Elote appetizer. I had the Pomegranate Spinach salad, a dirty martini and tequila on a big ice cube. Everything was perfect! My friends had a calamari appetizer, salmon salad, martinis and margarita. We were very impressed and will definitely return SOON! read more

Good for drinks, dinner or a cigar on the patio. The cigars I don't touch but I love the faint scent of them in the air. They remind me of my grandfather and a time before we knew not wearing seatbelts and red meat were bad for you. While I don't recommend not wearing your seatbelt on the drive in, I do recommend the burgers or the macaroni and cheese. Both are way better than going through the windshield and safer bets. The far is stocked well and the tenders can make just anything you want. Beer and wine selection is great too. The service is always good. I hear it turns into a nightclub later in the evening but I have never experienced it. Food stops at some point in the evening. read more

Food and service is amazing! Perfect place to celebrate a special occasion! Will definitely be going back!

What a pleasant surprise here in Fresno. After seeing some social media posts; Santa came down from the North Pole to check out this latest venue. Have to say ... impressive! Craft cocktails, delicious appetizers, mouth watering main courses, and ashamed to say that Santa only likes Cookies, so no desert. Had the Ahi and calamari for apps ... spectacular! And enjoyed the Steak Frites / a perfectly cooked Ribeye sliced up for easy bites alongside fries. All was spectacularly done. Staff was accommodating, cleanliness was paramount, and absolutely loved all the Smiles from everyone. Prompt and courteous and willing to take the time needed to express respect for their patrons. Will return with Elf's - and recommend to all. read more

I had my birthday party booked here for months and they call us the night of to say they accidentally double booked us with a group and could only sit us at an hour BEFORE our reserved time. We live over 30 minutes away so there was no way we would make it in time. They refused to accommodate us any other way and were rather rude over the phone. Now we are left to find a place to eat out on a Saturday night. I would give 0 stars if I could. read more

I'm a regular customer for fine dining experiences around the world, and recently had booked a group family dinner at The Standard in Fresno after our recent Thanksgiving dinner. I have to say, I didn't expect to experience what I did in Fresno - thanks to The Standard. The food quality, customer service, restaurant aesthetics, to the table settings and cutlery, menu, and overall vibe was incredible! We started out with the calamari, which I love, but my wife doesn't typically eat; however we both agreed it was some of the best calamari we've ever eaten anywhere in the world. Also, The Standard's corn with the zesty touch of spice and flavorful dip was exquisite, and their mushroom risotto tasted like it was sourced fresh from Italy. Not to mention their honey prawns were unlike anything I'd ever had - they were beyond delicious. I have to admit my family and I were pretty full just from eating the appetizers as they were incredibly fresh, tasty, and exquisite. However, we opted to space out our dinner and dessert and we were in for a bigger treat. The fresh honey baked salmon was as good as the salmon I've eaten in Norway, Iceland, and Scotland, and was cooked to perfection, and my family couldn't stop raving about their main courses. We finished our meal with a few dessert options which were also spectacular. I don't typically write reviews. However, I had low expectations of finding a world-class dining experience in a place like Fresno; however, The Standard was way "above standard" for what I had expected, and definitely on par with the high end restaurants I've eaten at around the world. However, their price point was incredibly generous, and well below what I would have expected to pay. Not to mention the service and staff was brilliant. The experience my family and I had at The Standard was exceptional from every level, and we'll definitely be recommending our family and friends to experience The Standard on their next visit to Fresno - it's also become our No.1 go to place in Central California and will eating their again on our upcoming family trip around Christmas. read more

Food is AMAZING, service is a little low. We ordered the butter chicken, garlic naan, Aloo Gobi and simosas. Everything was delicious and that naan was very fresh. The Aloo Gobi was our favorite! The butter chicken was nice and butter and creamy but I wish it had a little spice to it. read more

Very beautiful restaurant with a good selection of food choices! My sister-in-laws and I each ordered something different along with their alcohol drinks. I had ordered the spicy chicken with fries. The burger was very dry and hard at the edges so I had to ask them to remake it which the waitress happily assisted me with. The fries were crispy and yummy though. The burger the second time around came out better as the chicken meat was less dry and not hard like the first patty. I am glad the problem was taken care of but it was a bummer having to wait for food a second round. Customer service was good aside from the issue with my food. read more

My family threw me a birthday party to celebrate my 60th. I cannot say enough about this venue. The location is superb and we had an outdoor party, but it wasn't cold because of the many heaters they placed outside. The food was terrific, especially the mushroom risotto and salmon. The staff were friendly and the service excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to book an event there and hope to get to celebrate there at another event. If you call them ask for Rajan Bisla. He will assure your event is perfect. read more

I went here last Sat 2024 July to see the newly remodeled site. I used to frequent this spot often prior to the renovation and to be honest-it looks alot like the same but with accents added to it. I know Raj and he treats me well. He's the manager btw. And all of the security personnel was very accomodating for me since I'm a cripple in a wheelchair. I appreciated that. Also the servers were very attractive and gave service with a smil. Many of the patrons tend to stick to themselves but all the attractrive ladies were out that night lol. My friend visiting from LA was impressed and wants to come back next time he's in town. I recommended this spot to my out of town friends every time. Ill be back next week. read more

The menu is pricey bar food, but the ambiance is absolutely amazing. The service is friendly, and the staff are beautiful.

The food is really good. Great service, staff is very nice. Amazing drinks, and the atmosphere is cool.

Enjoyed the nite life and their food we got while having drinks were really good! Our waitress took good care of us

Food is un-bar like. Service is all-world bourbon friendly, particularly bar side. Ambience depends on the timing: early is local, corner bar cool. Later is late night chic, flash of Platinum or Black Card AMEX style. Miss it and you won't be missed. So make it. read more

Food and atmosphere were quite good. Server was very friendly. Bread pudding was good. Glad we shared because it was ginormous.

We had it all, cocktails, wine, cheese balls, salmon, paste and bread pudding. Everything was excellent. We sat on the patio where they made it nice and warm with heating lamps. Our waitress was informative and attentive and the ambience is relaxing. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. read more

Great food and drink. Wonderful place to relax and unwind. I highly recommend The Standard!

I tried Standard this evening. The ambience of the restaurant was unique and kind of had an old world castle kind of feel to it. We arrived to cheerful and gracious staff and got seated promptly. We ordered drinks from the bar and the appetizer of asian lettuce wraps. The wraps were seasoned perfectly and were delightful. I had the ribeye steak with garlic mashed potatoes which was cooked perfectly. My husband had ahi tuna with mushroom risotto which was incredible. The mushroom risotto was creamy, delicious and cooked to perfection. I could have just eaten the risotto and been happy with the meal. The wasabi that came with ahi tuna was potent and seem to be made in house which was a delightful twist. Overall we had an enjoyable experience and would definitely return to dine again soon. read more

For me, this is was my first visit. Apparently the focus of this establishment was cocktails, but we went for dinner. Service was very good. If I could recall our servers name, I would blast a shout out! Due to a late lunch, I didn't dive deeply into the menu. I settled on a hamburger. Very good! Two patties, smoked Gouda and bacon. For a dinner burger you couldn't go wrong. The party of 8 had nothing but good things to say about the experience. Now for the kicker! Cigars on the patio! Four of us enjoyed 1964 Anniversary Padron's and 2oz. pours of Remy XO. For me, the ultimate night cap. Our dinner attendant checked on us for our entire 4 hrs. stay. My first experience at The Standard was incredibly impressive. Highly recommended. read more

Remodel came out good! Very clean and lights were absolutely beautiful. You can tell they were very detailed in the planning. Food was excellent. Had the arancini and calamari apps. Calamari was perfectly cooked. The arancini is to die for. I didn't know what it was but now I can't live without it lol. My little boy had the sliders which he gobbled up and left nothing for dad :(. Wife had the balsamic steak salad which was nice and fresh. The meat was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of dressing. I had the Po' boy and oh boy the meat was tender and the flavor profile was on point. The bread was soft on the inside with a nice crunch on the outside. Pure perfection. Service was top notch. Our waitress was very attentive and checked on us regularly making sure our drinks were full. read more

I've been coming to the standard for at least 6 years, and it has always been pleasant. Last night on the Cabana/patio I experienced dishonesty/unprofessionalism from one of the male (bouncer? I did not get his name). Anyway, I was with the party who had reserved one of the cabana spaces and also with another party who had a table indoors. We were going back-and-forth between the 2. I went and sat in the cabana outside as friends were in both locations When does bouncer guy said to me "No, you can't sit there it's reserved for Matt." I said "no, this Cabana is reserved and paid for until 2 am for [insert my friends name here]. Then he said "who's in your party?" I told him "all those people" pointing at my friends. Regardless, it's reserved for [my friend]. Furthermore when there is a reservation, they place the name of the party on a little frame on the table for guests to see (it was conveniently turned facing the bouncer). Then he says "oh, ok you can sit here". So, why lie about Matt, whomever that is? You knew from the beginning that the table was reserved for the party name that I gave you and it was clearly printed on the table. Get it together. That attempt to be slick failed. I was quite sober. read more

My friends and I wanted to try a new bar/lounge and came here for the first time. It was my friend's birthday and wanted to celebrate her. Upon entrance, we were greeted by a very nice and welcoming security guard. The bar/lounge is very nice inside and has an outdoor patio with sectioned gazebos with patio heaters. The bartenders were very nice and attentive and so was the employee outside who helped turned on the patio heater for us right away when we sat down. My only complaint about this experience was that my friend and I got charged extra for tip when we already tipped them. I gave the bartender a $5 tip in cash AND had an UNAUTHORIZED $7.99 TIP ADDED through my card. My other friend tipped $9 through her card AND AN UNAUTHORIZED $9 TIP ADDED on top as well. I get it, it was a very slow night so they needed to make money, BUT IT'S SO TOTALLY UNETHICAL OF THE PERSON WHO DID THIS. This was our first time here and it will be our last. We do not support unethical businesses and will not return. At least Vinx next door offered us a free table, juice, ice, and a champagne bottle for FREE! LET ME REPEAT THAT, IT WAS FREEEEEE! ALSO, I ALWAYS CHECK MY BANK ACCOUNT THE NEXT DAY DUE TO UNETHICAL EMPLOYEES. I SURE NOTIFIED MY FRIEND RIGHT AWAY WHEN I SAW THE TRANSACTION ON MY STATEMENT AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW, IT HAPPENED TO HER TOO. WE WERE NOT DRUNK AND ONLY HAD ONE SHOT AND ONE DRINK. read more

We went to get some dinner there the other week, after a friend recommended it. I didn't know what kind of food they offered since I had only been for drinks, but boy was I happy with our choices! My friend got the Mac and Cheese and was gracious enough to share it, I may not have been that nice since it was so yummy! Loved the flavor and little bit of crisp texture topping it with the cheese. I got the burger, and was also incredibly impressed. It felt fancy with the Gouda and thick patty. I was totally stuffed after eating half of it. Our service was also top notch, really attentive and made sure we loved everything. Such a great experience and I can't believe I hadn't been before. I can't wait to go again! read more
