    Very good service again and very good food one of our steaks was bit overcooked as we would have liked but it’s okay it was still juicy and full of flavour and the chicken ribs where really good with the sauce and the beer was good as well and we will be back again every time there is a soccer game this place is our regular spot every time Melbourne victory is playing at Ammi Park

    Very enjoyable lunch at the Standard. They have a good range of beer and the wine list has quite a wide variety. Likewise the menu was varied with some interesting selections on the 'specials' board. Overall a very good lunch.
