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.

    Food was amazing from start to finish. Cozy dining experience, nice but not over the top. An accessible fine dining experience with consistently excellent execution for a price that wasn’t extravagant. Hard to list a highlight because everything was so tasty.

    The food was outstanding! The filet felt like it could just melt in my mouth! The ambience was cozy and beautiful, and the staff were some of the friendliest I’d ever met! I would definitely recommend the Standard to anyone!

    We were a bit disappointed with the evening. The food and the experience were both very average. I had the Chilean Sea Bass and my husband had an 8 ounce steak. The asparagus was the best part of the meal. The cocktails were also very average. We would not return.
