The Standard at the Smith House is an absolute treasure in Nashville! The historic charm of the building creates a one-of-a-kind ambiance, but what truly sets this place apart is the impeccable service. The wait staff is always attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, ensuring every visit is memorable. On my last visit, I had their signature dish, The Standard—an incredibly tender filet cooked to perfection. It was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and paired perfectly with their standout side: the corn on the cob. I don’t know what magic they use, but it’s hands down the best corn I’ve ever tasted! Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just treating yourself, The Standard never fails to deliver an exceptional dining experience. It’s hands down one of my favorite places to eat in Nashville!

Jacob & Lewis were excellent! The experience is just what you expect from Jeff Ruby's. From the cocktails, Godfather Roll appetizer, 8 oz petite fillets, baked mac & cheese, asparagus and sautéed mushrooms all were prepared with attention to detail and delicious. Each steak was perfectly prepared from rare to medium plus! The baked mac & cheese was the best! Our dessert, crème brûlée, and Espresso Martinis capped off an awesome dining experience! Highly recommend for a special occasion or date night!

We have been dining there for years. I was very impressed with the new renovations the owners have made. The ramp entrance is a definite improvement and I was very impressed with the paneling in the patio area. I dined on the sea bass and it was excellent. We were celebrating our grandson's 15th birthday and our server could not have made it more special.
