The Standard Lounge - Albany

Stroganoff and crab blt were delicious . Calamari also excellent

Had a reservation and had to wait for half hour for a table. My crab cake was uncooked in middle. Staff was very nice but one of the worst places I be ever been. They did not charge me for my meal but then again I didn’t eat it. I wasn’t taking a new order to bring to a hotel room. I feel manager should have come over but did not.

I really enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. It is always a top choice for our special occasions. Thank you to Breanna for her outstanding service.

My date and I were very engrossed in our conversation, and the service was perfectly attuned to our needs. The food and drinks were excellent, they accommodated us reasonably beyond their last call, and they even politely kept the door open a few extra minutes as we overstayed their hours. I couldn't be more pleased with the evening.

We have enjoyed The Standard Restaurant since it opened (sometime after the Bugaboo closed. The waitress was wonderful. She was helpful, personable, attentive but not hovering and her pacing was perfect! The Santa Fe Egg rolls were delicious, plentiful and came with a complimentary sauce. My wife enjoyed the Pete’s Special very much and was very impressed with the soup as well as the sandwich. Our family was celebrating our son’s birthday as well as his recent graduation from college (at his favorite restaurant. I was surprised that this was not even mentioned by anyone since I checked the appropriate boxes on the reservation form as well as in a message to the restaurant. I understand this can happen with messages not being forwarded. It has been awhile since I ordered the Crab cake BLT. It was the best in the area. Tonight’s CCBLT had much more filler, rather than crabmeat, than I remember. It used to be 90 percent crab meat. I believe that ratio has been reversed and the texture was not nearly as appealing. Although still tasty, with a warm-soft roll and generous amount of fries, honestly, it was disappointing. However, all the portion sizes were huge and each of us took food home. The Key lime martini is still the best in town! The prices are reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes and everyone was welcoming and polite!
