The Standard Grill
Opened in 2009, The Standard Grill immediately became an icon of the Meatpacking District renaissance, celebrating the flavors and traditions of old New York with a contemporary edge. In those days, NYC’s brasserie culture was in desperate need of a shake-up and The Standard, High Line was the perfect spot to reinterpret a classic.
Many years, cocktails and parties later, The Standard Grill remains a fixture of the downtown dining scene.
Unbound by rules and conventions, The Standard Grill has the familiar feel of a neighborhood bistro—remixed with The Standard’s buzzy, international sensibility. Live entertainment and luxe finishes elevate the timeless atmosphere to new heights. Defined by bold flavors, the finest ingredients and an unmistakable New York attitude, The Standard Grill pioneers New American cuisine wherever it lands.
