Enjoyed the Peloached Pear. Australian Wagyu was delicious and totally worth the price difference from the filet (which my daughter got so we could compare). Brussel sprouts were phenomenal. Chocolate cake isn't too sweet / rich; a good balance. Definitely want to come back to try more items. Cocktails looked great. Music was nice, and the service was great as well.

Another great evening at Pullman Standard. Jeremiah and his team took great care of us. First, we all had a round of the Nutty Scotsman which was a great seasonal drink. Secondly, we had a great collection of shareables including the General Tso’s cauliflower. Then we had another round from their creative cocktail menu. Some had more Nutty Scotsman, others some of their standard cocktails, one her favorite non-alcoholic mocktail, whole I opted for their snicker-doodle Christmas old-fashioned. The place was hopping and we all had a great time.
