- DDawnToledo / Northwest Ohio •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoOur first time at The Standard & it did not disappoint! We started out with the whipped feta so yummy! My husband got the pork chops and I got the scallops both were delicious! We had each had dessert banana cheese cake & the chocolate crème Brûlée both were delicious. Our serve and staff was so personable and kind. We will be back! Next time, I’m getting steak!! 😉More infoThe Standard$$$$• Contemporary American• Sylvania•4.8
